A novel approach combining self-organizing map and parallel factor analysis for monitoring water quality of watersheds under non-point source pollution.

abstract：:Interfacial charge transfer from photoexcited ruthenium-based N3 dye molecules into ZnO thin films received controversial interpretations. To identify the physical origin for the delayed electron transfer in ZnO compared to TiO2, we probe directly the electronic structure at both dye-semiconductor interfaces by applyi...
