Nanostructured TiO2-based composites for light absorption

Metal oxide nanocomposites were prepared by two different routes: polyol and sol-gel. Characterization by X ray diffraction showed that the first process produces directly a two-phase material, while the sol-gel powder never showed second phase below 600°C. Light spectroscopy of the treated powders indicated similarities for the processed materials. Although the overall material compositions are about the same, different structural characteristics are found for each processing. With the exception of Ti-Zn materials, all the double metal oxide powders showed higher absorbance than either TiO2 powder.

Photocatalytic decomposition of rhodamine-b using scandium and silver-modified TiO2 powders

Semiconductor-mediated photocatalytic oxidation is an interesting method for water decontamination and a specially modified TiO2 is said to be a promising material. This study verified that the synthesis of 1wt%Ag modified-Sc0.01Ti0.99O1.995 powder samples prepared by Polymeric Precursor Method is capable of forming a mixture of anatase-rutile phase with high photocatalytic performance. This kind of material is found to have a lower bandgap compared to the TiO2-anatase commercial powders, which can be associated to an innovative hybrid modification. The simultaneous insertion of scandium in order to generate a p-type semiconductor and a metallic silver nanophase acting as an electron trapper demonstrated being capable of enhancing the degradation of rhodamine B compared to the commercial TiO2. In spite of the different thermal treatments or phase amounts, the hybrid modified powder samples showed higher photocatalytic activity than the commercial ones.

Synthesis and characterization of nanostructured TiO2-SnO2 composite

Nanostructured composites based on titanium dioxide have been studied in order to improve optical and photo-catalytic properties, as well as their performance in gas sensors. In this work, titanium and tin dioxides were simultaneously synthesized by the polyol method resulting in TiO2 platelet coated with SnO2 nanoparticles as was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The thermal analysis showed that the combined synthesis promotes more easily the crystallization of the TiO2 rutile phase. The composite obtained after heat treatment at 500 °C showed to be formed of almost only rutile phases of both oxides. The optical properties analyzed by UV-Vis spectroscopy showed that the combined oxides have higher absorbance, which reinforces a model found in the literature based on the flow of photo-generated electrons to the conduction band of SnO2 delaying the recombination of charges.

Study of metal oxide-semiconductor capacitors with rf magnetron sputtering TiO(x) and TiO(x)N(y) gate dielectric layer

Metal oxide-semiconductor capacitors with TiO(x) deposited with different O(2) partial pressures (30%, 35%, and 40%) and annealed at 550, 750, and 1000 degrees C were fabricated and characterized. Fourier transform infrared, x-ray near edge spectroscopy, and elipsometry measurements were performed to characterize the TiO(x) films. TiO(x)N(y) films were also obtained by adding nitrogen to the gaseous mixture and physical results were presented. Capacitance-voltage (1 MHz) and current-voltage measurements were utilized to obtain the effective dielectric constant, effective oxide thickness, leakage current density, and interface quality. The results show that the obtained TiO(x) films present a dielectric constant varying from 40 to 170 and a leakage current density (for V(G)=-1 V, for some structures as low as 1 nA/cm(2), acceptable for complementary metal oxide semiconductor circuits fabrication), indicating that this material is a viable, in terms of leakage current density, highk substitute for current ultrathin dielectric layers.

Leakage current, ferroelectric and structural properties in Pb(1-x)Ba(x)TiO(3) thin films prepared by chemical route

Single-phase perovskite structure Pb(1-x)Ba(x)TiO(3) thin films (x = 0.30, 0.50 and 0.70) were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO(2)/Si substrates by the spin-coating technique. The dielectric study reveals that the thin films undergo a diffuse type ferroelectric phase transition, which shows a broad peak. An increase of the diffusivity degree with the increasing Barium contents was observed, and it was associated to a grain decrease in the studied composition range. The temperature dependence of the phonon frequencies was used to characterize the phase transition temperatures. Raman modes persist above tetragonal to cubic phase transition temperature, although all optical modes should be Raman inactive. The origin of these modes was interpreted in terms of breakdown of the local cubic symmetry by chemical disorder. The absence of a well-defined transition temperature and the presence of broad bands in some interval temperature above FE-PE phase transition temperature Suggested a diffuse type phase transition. This result corroborates the dielectric constant versus temperature data, which showed a broad ferroelectric phase transition in these thin films. The leakage Current density of the PBT thin films was studied at different temperatures and the data follow the Schottky emission model. Through this analysis the Schottky barrier height values 0.75, 0.53 and 0.34 eV were obtained to the PBT70, PBT50 and PBT30 thin films, respectively. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Patienters upplevelser av livskvalitet vid nydiagnostiserad typ 2 Diabetes Mellitus : En intervjustudie

Syfte: Att undersöka patienters upplevelser av livskvalitet vid nydiagnostiserad typ 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Metod: En empirisk studie med en kvalitativ ansats som innefattade tio deltagare med nydiagnostiserad typ 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes utifrån en intervjuguide där insamlad data analyserades med kvalitativ manifest innehållsanalys. Resultat: Studien resulterade i fyra huvudkategorier och tio subkategorier. Upplevelsen av att få ett diagnosbesked varierade mellan deltagarna, för vissa deltagarna var beskedet inte förvånande medan andra upplevde känslor av chock och förnekelse. Deltagarna upplevde positiva förändringar, exempelvis viktnedgång och förbättrad hälsa men även negativa förändringar, exempelvis att vara beroende av läkemedel. Vissa upplevde ingen förändring alls. Typ 2 Diabetes Mellitus påverkade inte deltagarnas fysiska eller psykiska hälsa i de flesta fall. Deltagarna ansåg det som viktig att få stöd från både omgivningen och hälso- och sjukvården. Konklusion: Känslorna över ett diagnosbesked kunde variera men upplevelsen av livskvalitet påverkades inte av Typ 2 Diabetes Mellitus i de flesta fall i studien. Patientens inställning till att leva med Typ 2 Diabetes Mellitus inverkade på förmågan till att utföra egenvård, och distriktsköterskans stöd och engagemang ansågs vara betydelsefullt i sjukdomsprocessen.
