Preparation and Characterization of Nanostructured Fe-TiO2 Thin Films Produced by Electrophoretic Deposition
2013
Fe-TiO2 thin films have been produced by a sol-electrophoretic deposition method on metallic Ti foil substrates. X-ray diffractograms and Raman spectra confirms the anatase structure of deposited and annealed Fe-TiO2 films. Obtained Fe-TiO2 thin films demonstrate photoactivity under visible light radiation due to the doping with Fe3+ ions. Open circuit potential results shows that increase of the film thickness and surface area improves the photoactivity of Fe-TiO2.
Electrochemistry of TiO2–iron hexacyanocobaltate composite electrodes
2014
Abstract In this paper we investigate the electrochemical behavior of iron hexacyanocobaltate (FeHCC) in comparison to the cobalt hexacyanoferrate (CoHCF). The best results were achieved on electrochemical synthesized film of FeHCC on the TiO2 modified electrodes. The chemical and physical characterizations confirm the formation of the FeHCC with the classical cubic crystal structure of the Prussian blue analogs, with cell parameter a very close to 10 A, as well as the formation of micro aggregates of TiO2 covered by FeHCC. The synthesis was performed on various substrates such as glassy carbon (GC), graphite foil (GF) and indium tin oxide (ITO) in order to develop new technological applica…
Visible light apparatus for preliminary tests of x-ray optics
2006
We report a useful visible light testing procedure for a first analysis of soft X-ray grazing incidence optics (0.1-2 keV). Although diffraction is a limit in the application of this method, great advantages are obtained by running the tests in air with direct access to modify the geometrical mounting of the individual mirror shells. We present the experimental apparatus and show the first results of the investigation of light weight optics based on plastic foil material and comparison with results obtained with an X-ray beam.
Material Flow in FSW of T-joints: Experimental and Numerical Analysis
2008
In the paper the authors present the results of both an experimental and a numerical campaign focused on the analysis of the occurring material flow in the FSW of T joints of aluminum alloys. In particular to investigate the metal flow experimental tests and observations has been developed utilizing a thin foil of copper as marker placed between the skin and the stringer. In this way, the actual metal flow occurring during the FSW of T-joints has been highlighted together with the real bonding surface. The acquired information is definitively useful in order to choose effective set of process parameters, improving the process mechanics and avoiding the insurgence of defects.
Recent Progress in FSMA Microactuator Developments
2009
The giant magneto-strain effect is particularly attractive for actuator applications in micro- and nanometer dimensions as it enables contact-less control of large deformations, which can hardly be achieved by other actuation principles in small space. Two different approaches are being pursued to develop ferromagnetic shape memory (FSMA) microactuators based on the magnetically induced reorientation of martensite variants: (1) the fabrication of free-standing epitaxial Ni-Mn-Ga thin film actuators in a bottom-up manner by magnetron sputtering, substrate release and integration technologies and (2) the top-down approach of thickness reduction of bulk Ni-Mn-Ga single crystals to foil specime…
Topological optimization of a structural naval component manufactured in FDM
2019
In this paper, a topological optimization procedure has been applied on a real component of the deck of a sailing multi-hull in order to find the internal shape that best save the material used in the manufacturing process without a relevant loss of structural rigidity. The multi-hull boat is a 16 feet length catamaran equipped with an asymmetric foil on both centerboards and with a symmetric foil on both rudders. The task of the analyzed object is to act as a cylindrical support for the screw that drives the rotation of the centerboard. The process adopted to manufacture this object is the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technique, because of its high versatility and its relative low-cost …
Streuung von mittelschnellen Elektronen an Kunststoff-Folien mit eingelagerten Schwermetallatomen
1962
Scattering has been observed of 70-keV electrons by Kollodium-foils containing elements of high atomic number (lead). The contents of lead are determined and the kind of distribution of lead in the foil is described. The differential cross-section as a function of the angle of scattering approximates the cross-section calculated by Sherman with lower contents of lead of the foils. Remaining deviations can be explained by screening-effects of the electron cloud.

1964
Completing a former paper about scattering experiments with electrons a new foil containing an element of high atomic number (lead) has been produced, which shows a very equal and fine distribution of lead.
Preparation of targets by electrodeposition for heavy element studies
2004
Abstract For heavy element studies at GSI, lanthanide and actinide targets have been prepared by molecular plating. The deposition occurs from an isopropanolic solution at 1000–1200 V with current densities of a few mA/cm 2 . Several lanthanide targets have been prepared for test experiments. With nat Gd deposited on a 10 μm thick Be backing foil a target density of 1100 μg/cm 2 could be achieved. Gd-targets were used for the production of α-emitting isotopes of Os, the homologue of hassium (Hs; Z =108), in order to develop a chemical separation procedure for Hs. 248 Cm targets with densities up to 730 μg/cm 2 have been produced for recent experiments to investigate the chemical behaviour o…
Plastic foil technique attenuates inflammation in mesenteric intravital microscopy.
2000
Abstract Background. Interpretation of intravital microscopic observations is complicated by the “inflammatory”-type response to the trauma inflicted on the tissue by the surgical preparation. The present study evaluates different experimental conditions for prolonged observations of the mesenteric microcirculation in the rat. Methods. The mesentery was exteriorized through a median laparotomy and subjected to an organ bath or a modified plastic foil technique. Hemodynamic, metabolic, respiratory, and microcirculatory data were analyzed. Results. In contrast to the plastic foil technique, which yielded stable baseline values over a 5-h observation period, venular velocity and wall shear rat…
