Investigação das propriedades fotocatalíticas de filmes finos de TiO2 depositados por solução orgânica de citratos

Nowadays environmental pollution can be identified as a major problem in developed and developing countries. This is the result of several factors, such as inappropriate use of natural resources, inficiente legislation and not ecological awareness. Moreover, many other procedures as incorrect use of chemicals still contributed to the worsening of the problem. In this work, we develop a working with the environmental ideals, aiming to contribute to the decomposition of organic material through decomposition of rhodamine in TiO2 thin films on a silicon substrate. The degradation performance was monitored with the aid of techniques such as atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, field emission gun scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform spectroscopy, thermal and photocatalytic analyses

Síntese e caracterização de filmes finos de ferrita de bismuto dopados com cálcio visando aplicação em memórias de múltiplos estados

The increasing demand for electro-electronic devices, with high performance and multi-functional and the rapid advances of the nanotechnology require the development of new methods and techniques for the production and characterization of nanostructure materials and phenomenological models to describe/to predict some of its properties. The demand for multifunctionality requires, at least, new materials, that can integrate ferroelectric and magnetic properties of high technological interest. Inside of this context, multiferroics material can be considered suitable to integrate two or more physical properties of high technological interest. It can also provides new challenges in the processes of synthesis of new materials, and development of new devices with controlling and simulation of its physical properties and modeling. For this Calcium (Ca)-doped bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) thin films prepared by using the polymeric precursor method (PPM) were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), polarization and piezoelectric measurements.In order to study the behavior and determine which are the most important parameters to achieve the optimal property to be applied to a multiferroic materials

Very Intense Distinct Blue and Red Photoluminescence Emission in MgTiO 3 Thin Films Prepared by the Polymeric Precursor Method: An Experimental and Theoretical Approach

MgTiO3 (MTO) thin films were prepared by the polymeric precursor method with posterior spin-coating deposition. The films were deposited on Pt(111)/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) substrates and heat treated at 350 °C for 2 h and then heat treated at 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650 and 700 °C for 2 h. The degree of structural order−disorder, optical properties, and morphology of the MTO thin films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-Raman spectroscopy (MR), ultraviolet− visible (UV−vis) absorption spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) measurements, and field-emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM) to investigate the morphology. XRD revealed that an increase in the annealing temperature resulted in a structural organization of MTO thin films. First-principles quantum mechanical calculations based on density functional theory (B3LYP level) were employed to study the electronic structure of ordered and disordered asymmetric models. The electronic properties were analyzed, and the relevance of the present theoretical and experimental results was discussed in the light of PL behavior. The presence of localized electronic levels and a charge gradient in the band gap due to a break in the symmetry are responsible for the PL in disordered MTO lattice.

Freezing Distortions and Photoluminescence Property in PbMoO4 Micro Octahedrons: An Experimental and Theoretical Study

In this paper, we report a detailed structural and electronic characterization of PbMoO4 crystals by using a conventional hydrothermal (CH) method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform Raman (FT-Raman), field-emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM) and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. In addition, first-principles quantum mechanical calculations based on the density functional theory were employed in order to understand the band structure and density of states for the PbMoO4. Analysis of both theoretical and experimental results allows to rationalize the role of order-disorder effects in the observed green PL emissions in these ordered powders.

Emily Dickinson e a poesia de autoria feminina

Faremos uma leitura do poema 754 de Emily Dickinson, “My Life had stood – a Loaded Gun”, à luz da teoria feminista de Sandra Gilbert e Suzan Gubar com o intuito de entender o dilema da autoria feminina no século XIX: a necessidade de auto-afirmação poética em contraposição à impossibilidade de auto-afirmação como mulher em uma sociedade patriarcal. O poema 754 dramatiza esse dilema criando uma cena pastoril na qual é a personagem feminina que fala e age em nome do homem, invertendo os papéis do gênero pastoril e da sociedade norte-americana da época. Esta inversão é que possibilita a superação do dilema, na medida em que pressupõe um eu-lírico de voz forte e eloquente, capaz de se pronunciar afirmativamente sobre assuntos do universo masculino enquanto silencia a voz masculina.

Efeitos do aparelho de Herbst no tratamento proecoce da má oclusão classe II de Angle

Due to its high prevalence in general population, Angle Class II malocclusion has been widely studied by several authors, as well as the methods for its treatment. Among the possible treatment methods stands out the Herbst appliance. Reintroduced more than three decades ago in the orthodontics community, it became the most utilized appliance because it does not require patient compliance, and provides continued action through bilateral telescopic tubes. The objective of the present article was to demonstrate the early treatment of Class II Division 1 malocclusion with mandibular retrusion using Herbst appliance.

Aparelho de Herbst associado a aparelhos fixos: descrição de técnica

This paper aims at describeconstruction and installation sequences of a new design of appliance that allows continuously protraction of the mandible, using the telescopic mechanism of the Herbst appliance. This appliance has the advantage to be easily assembled by the orthodontist, without the necessity of molding and the assistance of a specialized laboratory, as well as the constant permanence in the mouth of the patient for being fixed.
