Impact of sedimentology and diagenesis on the petrophysical properties of a tight oolitic carbonate reservoir. The case of the Oolithe Blanche Format…

2013

18 pages; International audience; The Oolithe Blanche Formation was studied in three quarries, located at the south-eastern edge of the Paris Basin (France). Heterogeneities in reservoir properties were assessed through a sedimentological, diagenetic and petrophysical study. The relationships between depositional settings, diagenesis and petrophysical properties were analysed using detailed petrographic studies, image analysis, Nano CTscans and petrophysical measurements. The carbonate reservoir pore network is mainly controlled by intraparticle microporosity which ensures the connectivity with interparticle meso- and macroporosity. Early cementation vs. early compaction processes (mainly g…

Childhood cancer survival in Europe 1999-2007: results of EUROCARE-5-a population-based study.

2014

To access publisher's full text version of this article. Please click on the hyperlink in Additional Links field. Survival and cure rates for childhood cancers in Europe have greatly improved over the past 40 years and are mostly good, although not in all European countries. The EUROCARE-5 survival study estimates survival of children diagnosed with cancer between 2000 and 2007, assesses whether survival differences among European countries have changed, and investigates changes from 1999 to 2007. We analysed survival data for 157,499 children (age 0-14 years) diagnosed between Jan 1, 1978 and Dec 31, 2007. They came from 74 population-based cancer registries in 29 countries. We calculated …

Micro/nanostructured thin films : synthesis by ALD of composites associating TiO2 inverse opals and gold nanoparticles for photocatalysis applications

2021

The aim of this work was to improve the photocatalytic properties of titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films, a semiconductor that is widely used for photocatalysis applications, particularly for the treatment of polluted water. For this purpose, two complementary approaches were studied: increasing the surface area available for photocalatytic reactions and coupling between TiO2 and gold nanoparticles.. For the first approach, TiO2 thin films with different morphological structures were fabricated by Atomic Layer Deposition: dense and porous flat films, and inverse opals films.In order to evaluate photocatalytic activity of the different films, the degradation of methylene blue in aqueous solut…

Synthesis of Mesoporous Supraparticles on Superamphiphobic Surfaces

2015

A method for mesoporous supraparticle synthesis on superamphiphobic surfaces is designed. Therefore, supraparticles assembled with nanoparticles are synthesized by the evaporation of nanoparticle dispersion drops on the superamphiphobic surface. For synthesis, no further purification is required and no organic solvents are wasted. Moreover, by changing the conditions such as drop size and concentration, supraparticles of different sizes, compositions, and architectures are fabricated.

Hydrogen and Deuterium Incorporation in ZnO Films Grown by Atomic Layer Deposition

2021

Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were grown by atomic layer deposition using diethylzinc (DEZ) and water. In addition to depositions with normal water, heavy water (2H2O) was used in order to study the reaction mechanisms and the hydrogen incorporation at different deposition temperatures from 30 to 200 °C. The total hydrogen concentration in the films was found to increase as the deposition temperature decreased. When the deposition temperature decreased close to room temperature, the main source of impurity in hydrogen changed from 1H to 2H. A sufficiently long purging time changed the main hydrogen isotope incorporated in the film back to 1H. A multiple short pulse scheme was used to study th…

Depth profiling of Al2O3 + TiO2 nanolaminates by means of a time-of-flight energy spectrometer

2011

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is currently a widespread method to grow conformal thin films with a sub-nm thickness control. By using ALD for nanolaminate oxides, it is possible to fine tune the electrical, optical and mechanical properties of thin films. In this study the elemental depth profiles and surface roughnesses were determined for Al2O3 + TiO2 nanolaminates with nominal single-layer thicknesses of 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 nm and total thickness between 40 nm and 60 nm. The depth profiles were measured by means of a time-of-flight elastic recoil detection analysis (ToF-ERDA) spectrometer recently installed at the University of Jyväskylä. In TOF-E measurements 63Cu, 35Cl, 12C and 4He ions…

Low-Temperature Atomic Layer Deposition of High-k SbOx for Thin Film Transistors

2022

SbOx thin films are deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using SbCl5 and Sb(NMe2)3 as antimony reactants and H2O and H2O2 as oxidizers at low temperatures. SbCl5 can react with both oxidizers, while no deposition is found to occur using Sb(NMe2)3 and H2O. For the first time, the reaction mechanism and dielectric properties of ALD-SbOx thin films are systematically studied, which exhibit a high breakdown field of ≈4 MV cm−1 and high areal capacitance ranging from 150 to 200 nF cm−2, corresponding to a dielectric constant ranging from 10 to 13. The ZnO semiconductor layer is integrated into a SbOx dielectric layer, and thin film transistors (TFTs) are successfully fabricated. A TFT with…

Towards the new spectral-domain optical coherence tomography based classification of age-related macular degeneration

2012

Introducción: La degeneración macular asociada a la edad (DMAE) es un problema sociosanitario de primer orden en las sociedades industrializadas. La aportación de las nuevas técnicas diagnósticas, fundamentalmente la tomografía de coherencia óptica de dominio espectral (SD-OCT), ha ayudado a comprender mejor esta enfermedad. Objetivo: Recordar la clasificación clínica vigente de la DMAE, exponer la nueva clasificación tomográfica de la DMAE exudativa, y revisar los nuevos nuevos hallazgos tomográficos de la degeneración macular seca. Desarrollo: Clásicamente se distinguen dos formas de DMAE: seca y exudativa; asimismo existen tres estadios progresivos de severidad: precoz, intermedio y tard…

Spatial variation of soil magnetic susceptibility in relation to different emission sources in southern Poland

2015

Abstract The study in the area surrounding the Rybnik urban agglomeration (southern Poland) was conducted to determine the influence of various emission sources on the occurrence of local magnetic anomalies observed in the forest topsoils. For this reason field measurement of volume-specific magnetic susceptibility (κ) was conducted in forest topsoil on the area of study. The measurements were performed twice: directly on the surface and after removal of forest litter to see the influence of the litter on the magnetic signal measured on the soil surface. The maps of surface distribution of κ value revealed that magnetic anomalies were observed 2.0 km around the residential areas dominated b…
