High-k TiO2 thin film on p-type silicon substrate was fabricated by a combined sol-gel and spin coating method. Thus deposited titania film had anatase phase with a small grain size of 16 nm and surface roughness of congruent to 0.6 nm. The oxide capacitance (C-ox), flat band capacitance (C-FB), flat band voltage (V-FB), oxide trapped charge (Q(ot)), calculated from the high frequency (1 MHz) C-V curve were 0.47 nF, 0.16 nF, -0.91 V, 4.7x10(-12) C, respectively. As compared to the previous reports, a high dielectric constant of 94 at 1 MHz frequency was observed in the devices investigated here and an equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) was 4.1 nm. Dispersion in accumulation capacitance shows a linear relationship with AC frequencies. Leakage current density was found in acceptable limits (2.1e-5 A/cm(2) for -1 V and 5.7e-7 A/cm(2) for +1 V) for CMOS applications.

The present work deals with the structural and efficient down-shifting (DS) and up-conversion (UC) luminescence properties of erbium ion (Er3+) doped nanocrystalline barium sodium niobate (Ba2Na1-3xErxNb5O15, where x = 0, 0.02, 0.04 and 0.06) powders synthesized via novel citrate-based sol-gel route. The monophasic nature of the title compound was confirmed via x-ray powder diffraction followed by FT-IR studies. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) facilitated the establishment of the nanocrystalline phase and the morphology of the crystallites. The Kubelka-Munk function, based on diffused reflectance studies and carried out on nano-sized crystallites, was employed to obtain the optical band-gap. The synthesized nanophosphor showed efficient DS/PL-photoluminescence and UC luminescence properties, which have not yet been reported so far in this material. The material emits intense DS green emission on excitation with 378 nm radiation. Interestingly, the material gives intense UC emission in the visible region dominated by green emission and relatively weak red emission on 976 nm excitation (NIR laser excitation). Such a dual-mode emitting nanophosphor could be very useful in display devices and for many other applications.

This article presents a theoretical analysis of heat and mass transfer in a silica gel + water adsorption process using scaling principles. A two-dimensional columnar packed adsorber domain is chosen for the study, with side and bottom walls cooled and vapour inlet from the top. The adsorption process is initiated from the cold walls with a temperature jump of 15 K, whereas the water vapour supply is maintained at a constant inlet pressure of 1 kPa. The first part of the study is dedicated to deriving relevant scales for the adsorption process by an order of magnitude analysis of energy, continuity and momentum equations. In the latter part, the derived scales are compared with the outcome of numerical studies performed for various domain widths and aspect ratio of bed. A good correlation between scaling and simulation results is observed, thereby validating the scaling approach. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

GdxZn1-xO (x = 0, 0.02, 0.04 and 0.06) nanostructures have been synthesized using sol-gel technique and characterized to understand their structural and magnetic properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results show that Gd (0, 2, 4 and 6 %)-doped ZnO nanostructures crystallized in the wurtzite structure having space group C3(v) (P6(3)mc). Photoluminescence and Raman studies of Gd-doped ZnO powder show the formation of singly ionized oxygen vacancies. X-ray absorption spectroscopy reveals that Gd replaces the Zn atoms in the host lattice and maintains the crystal symmetry with slight lattice distortion. Gd L-3-edge spectra reveal charge transfer between Zn and Gd dopant ions. O K-edge spectra also depict the charge transfer through the oxygen bridge (Gd-O-Zn). Weak magnetic ordering is observed in all Gd-doped ZnO samples.

Titanium oxide (Titania) thin films were synthesized on different substrates via the sol-gel dip-coating method using alkoxide solution. Some selected samples were also prepared with different percentage of Lead (Pb). The influence of Pb addition in precursor sol on the optical properties of titanium dioxide thin films was studied. The optical transmittance in the visible region has increased with increase in weight percentage of lead. The refractive index was slightly decreased with Pb addition. Crystallization of these coatings was achieved through thermal annealing at temperatures above 400 degrees C. The structural properties and surface morphology of the crystallized coatings were studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy. Increase in average grain size from 250 nm to 350 nm with increase in Pb concentration is observed. Films were appeared to more coarse with increase in Pb addition. An increase in Pb addition resulted increase in average roughness from 12 nm to 25 nm.

Resumen: Los materiales dieléctricos son ampliamente utilizados en el sector energético, estando a veces sometidos a condiciones de alto estrés eléctrico, mecánico y ambiental en general, que los ponen al borde de procesos y mecanismos de degradación que conllevan a una probable falla futura. Los geles dieléctricos han comenzado a ser ampliamente utilizados en aplicaciones de encapsulamiento de transistores de alta potencia tipo IGBTs (del inglés Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor), donde se manejan tensiones y corrientes considerables. En la mayoría de los casos, se necesita una protección para evitar descargas en fase gaseosa, ingreso de humedad al circuito y amortiguamiento mecánico para vibraciones. En el presente trabajo caracterizamos con diferentes técnicas aspectos destacables de este tipo de encapsulantes a base de un gel bifásico de silicona. Para observar el proceso de curado se empleó la técnica de espectroscopía de absorción infrarroja (FTIR), junto con la reología oscilatoria desde las propiedades mecánicas. A su vez, esta última, sirvió para comparar información provista por un novedoso concepto que implica observar a estas últimas desde el interior, a partir de la evolución de cavidades gaseosas generadas eléctricamente. Se comprobó que el comportamiento de estas cavidades es sensible a la historia previa del material, es decir, mecanismos de curado y envejecimiento previo.

ZnO piezoelectric thin films were prepared on crystal substrate Si(111) by sol-gel technology, then characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The ZnO films characterized by X-ray diffraction are highly oriented in (002) direction with the growing of the film thickness. The morphologies, roughness and grain size of ZnO film investigated by AFM show that roughness and grain size of ZnO piezoelectric films decrease with the increase of the film thickness. The roughness dimension is 2.188-0.914 nm. The piezoelectric coefficient d(33) was investigated with a piezo-response force microscope (PFM). The results show that the piezoelectric coefficient increases with the increase of thickness and (002) orientation. When the force reference is close to surface roughness of the films, the piezoelectric coefficient measured is inaccurate and fluctuates in a large range, but when the force reference is big, the piezoelectric coefficient d(33) changes little and ultimately keeps constant at a low frequency.

A complacência da bexiga depende de músculos lisos, fibras colágenas, fibras elásiticas e suas relações. O objetivo deste trabalho é determinar a composição da matriz extracelular em amostras de bexigas normais através de análise bioquímica de colágeno e glicosaminoglicanos em amostras obtidas de mulheres em diferentes grupos de idade, analisando separadamente as camadas urotelial e muscular. Avaliamos 17 amostras de bexiga divididas em três grupos: infância (N=5), menacme (N=6) e pós-menopausa (N=6). As bexigas foram analisadas para concentração de GAG total e colágeno e para análise qualitativa de GAG por eletroforese em gel de agarose. Na camada muscular, não houve diferença entre os grupos tanto para GAG quanto para colágeno. Na camada urotelial, a análise da concentração de colágeno não mostrou diferença entre os grupos, mas a concentração de GAG no grupo da pós-menopausa (0.21 0.12 μg de ácido hexurônico/mg de tecido seco) apresentou diferença em relação aos grupos do menacme (1.78 1.62 μg de ácido hexurônico/mg de tecido seco) e da infância ( 2.29 1.32 μg de ácido hexurônico/mg de tecido seco).Nosso trabalho concluiu que a concentração de GAG está substancialmente diminuída na camada urotelial da bexiga de mulheres na pós-menopausa.

A planar waveguide ring resonator was fabricated by organic-inorganic hybrid sol-gel materials; its sensitivity to ethanol vapor was experimentally investigated. It was found that dips in the transmission spectrum of the device shifted to longer wavelengths with increasing the ethanol concentration, and its sensitivity showed a linear relation with the ethanol concentration, showing a coefficient of 1.13 pm/ppm. In addition, the transmission loss of the ring resonator decreased with increasing the ethanol concentration. The measured characteristics suggest that the device may be considered as one of the candidates of alcohol vapor sensors. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
