Photoluminescence at room temperature in disordered Ba(0.50)Sr(0.)5(0)(Ti0.80Sn0.20)O-3 thin films

Photoluminescence (PL) properties at room temperature of disordered Ba0.50Sr0.50(Ti0.80Sn0.20)O-3 (BST:Sn) thin films were obtained by the polymeric precursor method. X-ray diffraction data and corresponding PL properties have been measured using the 488 nm line of an argon ion laser. The PL spectra of the film annealed at 350 degrees C for 21 h are stronger than those of the film annealed at 350 degrees C for 28 h, indicating a disorganized structure. The energy band gaps of the crystalline and amorphous BST:Sn thin films were 3.35 and 2.25 eV, respectively. The doped BST thin films also tend to a cubic structure, resulting from TiO6 deformations.

Influence of seed particle frequency on the phase formation and on the microstructure of 0.88 PZN-0.07 BT-0.05 PT ceramic

The Pechini method as well as the simultaneous addition of seeds particles and dopant solutions of BaTiO3 (BT) and PbTiO3 (PT) were used to prepare the perovskite phase 0.88 PZN-0.07 BT-0.05 PT. To study the influence of seed particle frequency on the synthesis of the PZN ceramic, two ranges of seed particle size were used: the range from 30 to 100 nm, termed small seed particles (frequency of 10(15) particles/cm(3)); and the range from 100 to 900 nm, termed large seed particles (frequency of 10(13) particles/cm(3)). The crystalline nuclei size influenced the calcining process, the sintering process and the microstructure. Samples prepared with lower seed frequency displayed more amount of pyroclore phase, need higher temperatures for sintering and showed a more heterogeneous microstructure with poor dielectric properties.

In situ solid state oxidation reaction for La1-xSrxMnO3 (x=0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3) formation

In situ solid state oxidation reaction for an alternative La1-xSrxMnO3 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3) formation is reported. Samples have been obtained by using strontium peroxide, lanthanum and manganese (III) oxide reagents. Strontium peroxide has induced the oxidation of Mn+3 to Mn+4. Lanthanum strontium-doped manganite was obtained without secondary phase formation. La0.825Sr0.175MnO3 showed two structural transitions. The first from 88 to 373 K and the second at 1073 K. which are explained by Jahn-Teller effect at low temperature and cation displacement at high temperature. (C) 2001 Elsevier B.V. B.V.

THE CASSAVA (MANIHOT-ESCULENTA, C) CV PIONEIRA .3. COOKING CHARACTERISTICS

The edible parts of cassava cultivar Pioneira roots after 12 and 24 months of cultivation were analysed for human consum. The yield was 63% when the roots were harvested at the right time (12 months), and lower (58%) for older roots, with 24 months. Total cyanide contents were 62,0 - 61,8 and 58,0 - 63,4 ppm, respectively. Cooking time was 13,5 min and 19,5 min, respectively, although the cooked mass quality was similar good. The edible part of the roots was processed in french fries or tholes, submited to two treatment: blanching for three minutes and boiling for ten minutes. Treated and in natura tholes were fried in vegetable oil at 190-degrees-C. The effect of freezing (-20-degrees-C for 60 days) on the cooking quality was also evaluated. The frozen storage reduced the total cyanid content in all treatment. The rate of cyanid decrease were 45%, 84% and 88% with frying, blanching and frying, and boiling and frying, respectively. Blanching followed by frying assured a safe cyanid level for human consum as well as a good acceptance in sensorial analysis. The influence of the age of the roots in cooking quality was a decrease in softness. Frozen storage softened the 24 month old roots and worsened the flavor of 12 month old root. For table purposes cassava roots should be processed in french fries and blanching, what would allow frozen storage of edible part.

Photoelectrocatalytic oxidation of hair dye basic red 51 at W/WO 3/TiO2 bicomposite photoanode activated by ultraviolet and visible radiation

We prepared a W/WO3/TiO2 bicomposite photoanode by simple electrochemical anodization of W foil, followed by cathodic electrodeposition of TiO2 and annealing at 450 C for 30 min. This photoanode shows good photoactivity under irradiation with UV and visible light. In optimized conditions, it promotes complete photoelectrocatalytic oxidation of 3.33 × 10-5 mol L-1 basic red 51 solution (which is used in hair dye) at 0.1 mol L-1 Na2SO4, pH 2.0, under a current density of 1.25 mA cm-2 and ultraviolet and visible radiation-total organic carbon removal is 94 and 88%, respectively. This effect paves the way for the sustainable solar-assisted remediation of water bodies contaminated with organic components of hair dyes. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Estudo de propriedades estruturais e de piezeletricidade nos cristais de ADP e KDP puros e dopados com íons Ni2+ e Mn3+ com DMRX utilizando radiação síncrotron

A difração múltipla de raios-X utilizando radiação Síncrotron foi aplicada para o estudo de cátions de metais de transição Mn³⁺ e Ni²⁺ incorporados a rede cristalina do Fosfato de Amônio Monobásico (ADP) e Fosfato de Potássio Monobásico (KDP). Em todos os diagramas Renninger obtidos para as diferentes amostras e diferentes comprimentos de onda podemos observar que as posições angulares e o número de picos não sofrem alteração. Este fato nos diz que os parâmetros da célula unitária e a simetria do cristal são praticamente os mesmos, independentemente da incorporação de cátíons Mn³⁺ e Ni²⁺. Cálculos precisos dos parâmetros da célula unitária revelam que há expansão dos parâmetros de rede a = b e contração do parâmetro de rede c do cristal de ADP dopado com Ni²⁺ e Mn³⁺. Nas medidas com ambos os comprimentos de onda no ADP:Mn o digrama Renninger apresenta picos com perfis semelhantes aos perfis dos picos nos diagrama Renninger do cristal de ADP puro. Nenhum pico extra aparece no diagrama Renninger do cristal dopado. A partir dos diagramas resultantes das medidas no cristal de ADP:Ni pode-se observar claramente: (i) alguns picos que tinham um perfil assimétrico no diagrama do cristal de ADP puro apresentam perfis quase totalmente simétricos no diagrama do cristal dopado com Ni (nas medidas com comprimento de onda abaixo da borda de absorção do Ni) e, (ii) alguns picos sofrem uma forte inversão em seus perfis (nas medidas com comprimento de onda acima da borda de absorção do Ni), por exemplo, o pico (5-12)/(-112), que representa um caso de quatro feixes. Estes resultados indicam que o diagrama Renninger com radiação Síncrotron é uma sonda de alta resolução a serem utilizados na incorporação de impurezas na rede ADP. Além disso, investigamos os coeficientes piezelétricos dos cristais de ADP:Mn, KDP:Mn e KDP:Ni por difração de raios-X à temperatura ambiente. Os resultados das medidas das reflexões 440 e 066 permitiram a obtenção dos coeficientes d₃₆ e d₂₅. Nós observamos que estes coeficientes aumentaram com a dopagem dos íons Mn³⁺ e Ni²⁺ nos cristais de ADP e KDP.
