Study of Photo-Induced Thin Film Growth on Cds Substrates.*
1983
ABSTRACTPhoto-induced growth of ZnS on CdS has been studied using amorphous (thin film) and single-crystal substrates. The effect has been found to occur for light of wavelength shorter than the CdS absorption edge; a maximum light-induced thickness enhancement of 700 Å has been obtained for the ZnS film, with a growth rate of 2000 Å/min. The lightinduced growth, with its observed “memory” of several minutes is consistent with photo-desorption of an adlayer.
An on-line system for preconcentration and determination of lead in wine samples by FAAS
2002
A flow injection method has been developed for the direct determination of free available Pb(II) and total Pb content in wine samples. The method is based on the chemical sorption of Pb(II), from pH 7 buffered solutions, on a packed polyurethane foam column, modified by addition of 2-(2-benzothiazolylazo)-p-cresol (BTAC). After this step, lead was directly eluted with a stream of 0.1 mol l(-1) HCl into an air C(2)H(2) flame in which lead was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. Total lead was analyzed after sample digestion with nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide, being free available lead determined by direct sample on-line preconcentration and elution. The method provides a limit …
Detection of bias errors in ETAASDetermination of copper in beer and wine samples
2005
A method that evidences changes in the shape of the absorbance profiles obtained by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) is proposed. The method is based upon the apparent content curves model previously described for molecular spectroscopy and it permits the detection of possible sources of bias errors. Moreover, a procedure that allows to detect the existence of constant and/or proportional errors is also described. Both models has been applied to the determination of copper in wine and beer samples with and without pre-treatment of the samples. Results obtained evidence the usefulness of the proposed models.
Local atomic and electronic structure of tungsten ions in AWO4 crystals of scheelite and wolframite types
2001
Abstract X-ray absorption spectroscopy was used to study the local atomic and electronic structure of tungsten ions in polycrystalline scheelite CaWO4 and wolframite-type ZnWO4 and NiWO4. The W L1- and L3-edges X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) signals suggest tetrahedral coordination of tungsten ions in CaWO4 and strongly distorted octahedral coordination in ZnWO4 and NiWO4. Accurate analysis of the W L3-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) signals by the regularization procedure was performed to reconstruct the radial distribution functions within the first coordination shell around tungsten atoms in AWO4 crystals and polycrystalline WO3, which was utilized for…
Zero-Dimensional Hybrid Organic−Inorganic Lead Halides and Their Post-Synthesis Reversible Transformation into Three-Dimensional Perovskites
2021
Zero-dimensional (0D) mixed-halide hybrid organic-inorganic MA4PbX6·2H2O (MA = CH3NH3+; X = Br1 - xIx with 0 < x < 1) has been synthesized by a solvent-free mechanochemical approach. It has been shown that this 0D phase with sharp absorption features in the near-UV is a hydrated structure, which can be reversibly transformed into the three-dimensional perovskite phase MAPbX3 by simple thermal annealing (dehydration) in air. This work reveals a new approach to hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites and related 0D structures, which have so far only been thoroughly studied for the inorganic Cs4PbX6 compounds.

Multi-Resolution error analysis of predicted absorption coefficients. Method and application to the infrared spectrum of methane at high temperature.
2010
La version V2 inclut les modifications proposées par les reviewers.; International audience; A general method for the estimation of the confidence interval of molecular absorption coefficients is presented. Statistical numerical experiments are implemented to quantify the propagation of errors from line parameters to absorption coefficients or cross-sections as a function of the resolution. The method uses line parameter predictions (position and intensity) with estimated uncertainties derived from global polyad models. This work is especially intended to provide expert information for applications requiring theoretical predictions for which the present state of the art of line by line high…
Thermolytic reverse electrodialysis heat engine: model development, integration and performance analysis
2019
Abstract Salinity gradient heat engines represent an innovative and promising way to convert low-grade heat into electricity by employing salinity gradient technology in a closed-loop configuration. Among the aqueous solutions which can be used as working fluid, ammonium bicarbonate-water solutions appear very promising due to their capability to decompose at low temperature. In this work, an experimentally validated model for a reverse electrodialysis heat engine fed with ammonium bicarbonate-water solutions was developed. The model consists of two validated sub-models purposely integrated, one for the reverse electrodialysis unit and the other for the stripping/absorption regeneration uni…
Optimizing and Modeling the drying process of the Natural Gas through the Taguchi method
2018
The aim of this study is to highlight the optimization method of the drying process of natural gas, using the Taguchi method. The natural gas undergoes several stages from its extraction until reaching its end consumer. As the natural gas contains several impurities and a certain quantity of water and vapors, the drying process is very important to obtain a product of high quality. Gas dehydration can be obtained through several methods, the method presented here being the absorption method - by use of a drying station with triglycol. This method is considered to be the most convenient one taking into account the obtained results. Nevertheless, cost reducing is the main objective for compan…
Guidelines for the assessment of the rate law of slurry photocatalytic reactions
2017
Abstract The assessment of the rate law of slurry photocatalytic reactions appears to be a hard task, mainly because in this type of reactions the average rate of reaction, which is experimentally observed in a real reactor, could be very different from the “true” (intrinsic) rate of reaction, which cannot be measured directly. In the present work, it is shown how a proper mathematical model allows the utilization of the differential and/or the integral methods of kinetic analysis. The mathematical model must take into account not only the momentum and the mass balances, but also the radiative transfer equation. However, the discrimination among different proposed kinetic laws remains diffi…
Excitonic States in Semiconducting Two-dimensional Perovskites
2018
Hybrid organic/inorganic perovskites have emerged as efficient semiconductor materials for applications in photovoltaic solar cells with conversion efficiency above 20 \%. Recent experiments have synthesized ultra-thin two-dimensional (2D) organic perovskites with optical properties similar to those of 2D materials like monolayer MoS$_2$: large exciton binding energy and excitonic effects at room temperature. In addition, 2D perovskites are synthesized with a simple fabrication process with potential low-cost and large-scale manufacture. Up to now, state-of-the-art simulations of the excitonic states have been limited to the study of bulk organic perovskites. A large number of atoms in the …
