Optical Properties of Composite Films Based on Copper Chloride in PMMA Matrix

2014

The composite lms based on PMMA, CuCl2 and photoinitiator were prepared.Transmission spectra of the lms with and without photoinitiator were measured. The holo-graphic gratings were recorded, the sensitivity of the lms and surface structure of gratingswere studied. Microanalysis of the lms was performed in di erent part of structure elementsof grating.

Microstructural corrosion of aluminium alloys: a predictive finite element model based on corrosion-mimicking experiments

2013

The purpose of this study is to implement the basis of a finite element model (FEM) based on the resolution of the Nernst–Planck equation in order to progress in the predictive simulation of microstructural corrosion on aluminium alloys. Certain constituent intermetallic particles at the surface of aluminium alloys are considered as preferential sites for the initiation of structural corrosion resulting in localised trenching around the particles and the surrounding Al matrix. In this work, a modified scanning electrochemical microscope (SECM) experiment was used to induce such phenomena via a local alkalinization on 200 nm thick aluminium coatings, promoting their local dissolution in an a…

Self-assembly and magnetic properties of a double-propeller octanuclear copper(II) complex with a meso-helicate-type metallacryptand core.

2004

An octanuclear copper(II) complex possessing a dimer-of-tetramers structure self-assembles from a binuclear oxamatocopper(II) metallacryptand of the meso-helicate type; its magnetic behaviour is consistent with its unique double-propeller molecular topology.

Deformation behavior and interfacial sliding in carbon/copper nanocomposite films deposited by high power DC magnetron sputtering

2015

Abstract Amorphous carbon–copper nanocomposite films with a carbon content from 7 to 40 at.% have been deposited onto steel, silicon and glass substrates using a high power (> 60 W/cm 2 ) and high-rate DC magnetron sputtering technique. XRD, Raman spectroscopy and TEM results confirm that the deposited films consist of copper nanograins (size

Cerium-Doped Copper(II) Oxide Hollow Nanostructures as Efficient and Tunable Sensors for Volatile Organic Compounds

2018

Tuning sensing capabilities of simple to complex oxides for achieving enhanced sensitivity and selectivity toward the detection of toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is extremely important and remains a challenge. In the present work, we report the synthesis of pristine and Ce-doped CuO hollow nanostructures, which have much higher VOC sensing and response characteristics than their solid analogues. Undoped CuO hollow nanostructures exhibit high response for sensing of acetone as compared to commercial CuO nanoparticles. As a result of doping with cerium, the material starts showing selectivity. CuO hollow structures doped with 5 at. % of Ce return highest response toward methanol sens…

Electrochemical behaviour of copper-nickel alloys as immobilisation matrices for the storage of fission products in CO2-enriched synthetic groundwater

2013

International audience; The surface properties of nickel and copper alloys exposed to simulated French Callovo-Oxfordien ground-water (aerated and CO2-saturated solutions) have been evaluated from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in conjunction with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The kinetic reactions and physical properties of the layers grown on the alloy's surfaces, change versus the Ni content in the alloys and the presence of CO2 in the solution. Nickel alloys retain favourable passive properties in such environments, whereas oxide products on copper alloys are insufficiently protective when formed in the absence of dissolved oxygen in the electrolyte. A maximum addition of 30…

Use of pure vanadium and niobium/copper inserts for laser welding of titanium to stainless steel

2020

Abstract Niobium and vanadium have high metallurgical compatibility with titanium and therefore can be used as inserts to avoid the accumulation of brittle intermetallic phases such as Fe2Ti during the fusion welding of titanium alloys with steels. In the present study, the continuous double pass welding of 1 mm thick Ti-6Al-4V alloy and 316 L stainless steel plates through several mm wide pure vanadium or niobium insert was studied. In case of a vanadium insert, a beam offset on the vanadium was found to produce cold crack formation in vanadium/316 L melted zones containing more than 40 wt.% V despite the absence of σ phase. Whereas a centered beam position and offset on the steel side pro…

Spectroscopic characterization of non-covalent CuPc-GO system. Experiment and theory

2019

Abstract In this study we report on UV-vis, IR and Raman studies of non-covalent copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) – flake graphene oxide (GO) complex in water and in the solid phase. Experimental results were supported by molecular modeling of structure, electronic and vibrational parameters for free CuPc and its 1 : 1 complexes with water, benzene, phenol, neutral and deprotonated benzoic acid. HOMO-LUMO gaps for these complexes were calculated and compared with data derived from the absorption edge of Q-band in the recorded UV-vis spectra for free CuPc and its adduct with GO in water. Small but non-negligible changes in position of spectral bands observed as result of CuPc interaction with GO…

Parametrical study of multilayer structures for CIGS solar cells

2014

In this paper, a numerical analysis of relevant electrical parameters of multilayer structures for CIGS-based solar cells was carried out, employing the simulation software wxAMPS. In particular, we have focused on thin film cells having a ZnO:Al/ZnO/CdS/CIGS structure with a Molybdenum back contact. The aim of this work is to establish good theoretical reference values for an ongoing experimental activity, where our technology of choice is the single-step electrodeposition. In detail, we have analyzed how the main electrical properties change with the bang gap and the thickness of the absorber layer, for such a type of solar cell structure. Our results show that both efficiency and fill fa…
