Ion beam measurements for the investigation of TiN thin films deposited on different substrates by vacuum arc discharge
摘要: Titanium nitride thin films were deposited on different substrates using vacuum arc discharge system. Simultaneous ion beam analysis measurements including elastic backscattering (EBS) and nuclear reaction analysis (NRA); were applied for both composition analysis and thickness measurements of the prepared TiN films. Experimental conditions have been optimized to avoid overlapping of peaks of different nuclear reactions products, especially those related to interaction between ion beam and light elements present in totally different substrates. Independent compliment measurements utilizing time-of-flight elastic recoil detection analysis (TOF-ERDA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements were also applied to verify the experimental findings obtained by EBS and NRA measurements. The results have shown that all prepared TiN films have N/Ti ratio of around 1, with low levels of contamination elements.

Facile synthesis of La-doped CdS nanoparticles by microwave assisted co-precipitation technique for optoelectronic application
摘要: Low-cost microwave assisted technique has been applied to produce La-doped CdS nanoparticles and their structural, morphological, optical, Raman, dielectric and electrical studies were carried out. Broad XRD peaks revealed the growth of low-dimension La-doped CdS nanoparticles with wurtzite structure. Spherical shape morphology of synthesized nanostructures was confirmed by SEM analysis. SEM mapping and EDAX analysis showed the elemental composition and successful incorporation of La in CdS matrix. Diffused reflectance spectroscopy was used to determine the energy gaps and it was observed to be reduced from 2.47 to 2.3 eV upon La doping. Vibrational studies on La:CdS nanoparticles displayed longitudinal optical modes. PL studies exhibited improved luminescence for the band to band transition of the CdS nanoparticles. The ε’ values are enhanced in general; though it displayed reduced ε’ values at some concentration owing to reduction of polarization. Enhancement in AC conductivity was observed with increasing La concentration and the studies on the involved conduction mechanism revealed that the hopping motion in prepared nanostructures is translation motion with a quick hopping and the behavior is that of ionic conduction.

Microstructural Characteristics of Cement-Based Materials Fabricated Using Multi-Mode Fiber Laser
摘要: Cement-based materials are the most prevalent construction materials, and the conventional cutting techniques are still mostly used for fabricating the materials. However, these conventional cutting methods could generate undesirable micro-cracks and remove unintentional structural sections. This experimental study aims to evaluate the e?ects of the new fabricating method using laser on the microstructural characteristics of the cement-based materials. The experimental variables are laser cutting speed, water to cement ratio and material compositions. In order to compare the microstructure before and after the laser interaction, the microstructure of the cut surface is observed through scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-Ray (SEM/EDX). After the laser interaction, the Material Removed Zone (MRZ) and Heat A?ected Zone (HAZ) are observed on the cut surface. In MRZ, it is found that the glassy layer is thickened by an increasing amount of silicate-based materials in cement-based materials. In addition, it concluded that the amount of silicate-based material mixed in the cement-based materials a?ects the laser cutting quality.

The 3D imaging of mesenchymal stem cells on porous scaffolds using high-contrasted x-ray computed nanotomography
摘要: This study presents an X-ray computed nanotomography (nano-CT) based, high-resolution imaging technique. Thanks to a voxel resolution of 540 nm, this novel technique is suitable for observing the 3D morphology of soft biopolymeric scaffolds seeded with stem cells. A sample of highly porous collagen scaffold seeded with contrasted mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) was investigated by using lab-based nano-CT. The whole volume of the sample was analysed without its destruction. To evaluate the potential of nano-CT, a comparison measurement was done using a standard microscopy technique. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) established an extension and local accumulation of the contrasting agent – heavy metallic osmium tetroxide. The presented imaging technique is novel as it will help to understand better the behaviour of cells while interacting with three-dimensional biomaterials. This is crucial for both experimental and clinical tissue engineering applications in order to limit the risk of uncontrolled cell growth, and potentially tumour formation.

AIP Conference Proceedings [Author(s) SolarPACES 2017: International Conference on Concentrating Solar Power and Chemical Energy Systems - Santiago, Chile (26–29 September 2017)] - Synthesis and characterization of TiO2 co-polymeric hydrogel
摘要: In this study, TiO2 doped acrylic acid-co-vinyl pyrrolidone (AA-co-VP) composite co-polymeric hydrogel was synthesized by free radical polymerization technique. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) were chosen because of its superior properties such as high activity, chemical stability, low cost, non-toxicity, and stability during irradiation. TiO2 doping were carried out by varying mass ratios as 0.05%, 0.5% and 1%. Conversion, cross-linking and swelling values of each hydrogel were calculated. According to swelling behavior, while TiO2 dope ratio increase, swelling value was also increased. Chemical, morphological and thermal properties of hydrogels were specified by using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), mapping and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA-DSC) techniques. TiO2 doping provides superior properties to co-polymeric hydrogel. Hydrogels have also characteristic properties of both acrylic acid and vinyl pyrrolidone.

AIP Conference Proceedings [Author(s) SolarPACES 2017: International Conference on Concentrating Solar Power and Chemical Energy Systems - Santiago, Chile (26–29 September 2017)] - Carbon-titanium multilayer films: Synthesis and characterization
摘要: To synthesize Carbon-Titanium (C-Ti) multilayer thin films deposited on silicon substrates was used Thermionic Vacuum Arc (TVA) method. The coated layers consisted of a base layer of about 100 nm of Carbon deposited at low evaporation rates. Subsequently, seven Carbon and Titanium layers were deposited alternatively on top of Carbon base layer, each of them has a final thickness up to 40 nm. In this study we obtained different batches of samples by variation of the substrate temperature between 0oC and 300oC, and the ion acceleration voltage applying a negative substrate bias voltage between 0V and -700V. To characterize the microstructure properties of as prepared C-Ti multilayer structures were used Electron Microscopy techniques (TEM, SEM, STEM) and Raman Spectroscopy. Results of tribological measurements are associated with the occurrence of atomic diffusion processes at Ti/C interface. To characterize the electrical conductive properties, the electrical resistance versus temperature have been measured.

Study on the Synthesis of GO-AgNP Mixture Assisted by AgNP Based on UV-Vis, SEM-EDX, XRD, and FTIR
摘要: This study aims to determine the effect of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) towards graphene oxide-silver nanoparticles (GO-AgNP) formation using liquid sonication exfoliation (LSE) method. The synthesis results are characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM-EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy. This research begins by making two type of solutions. The first solution is AgNO3 solution which is being varied in concentration, i.e.: 1 mM, 2 mM, 3 mM, and 4 mM. The second solution is the graphite solution. Via the LSE method, AgNO3 that has been heated into becoming AgNP solution is mixed with the graphite solution. The mixture is subjected to 6 hours of ultrasonication. From this study GO or rGO material has been produced through the assistance of AgNP solution by varying the concentration of the AgNO3 solution. The UV-Vis result for 4 mM concentration shows two absorbance peaks with wavelength values of 265 nm and 416.5 nm. This also leads to a redshift of the GO absorbance peak with a wavelength of 252 nm to 265 nm resulting in reduction of GO (rGO) material. The SEM results of GO-AgNP samples do not show the presence of AgNP granules corresponding to the EDX results showing that the oxygen element has the highest percentage. The XRD results are shown by comparing the diffraction patterns of the GO-AgNP sample and that of GO sample. Furthermore FTIR results indicate the presence of C-H alkanes, C=O bonds, and O-H bonds in the GO-AgNP samples.
