Control of Oxygen Nonstoichiometry and Magnetic Property of MnCo2O4 Thin Films Grown by Atomic Layer Deposition
2010
Spinel-structured (Mn,Co)3O4 thin films were reproducibly fabricated by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using Mn(thd)3, Co(thd)2, and ozone as precursors. A full control of the cation ratio was achieved in the temperature interval 140−160 °C within which also the growth rate remained constant. Precise control of the oxygen content of as-deposited MnCo2O4+δ films was achieved through postdeposition heat treatments at prefixed temperatures in air and N2 atmospheres, as evidenced from the monotonous increases of both the unit cell volume and the Curie temperature (TC) with increasing annealing temperature/decreasing oxygen partial pressure. The TC value varied from 92 K for the as-deposited MnCo…
Stability and nature of the volume collapse of ε-Fe2O3 under extreme conditions
2018
Iron oxides are among the major constituents of the deep Earth’s interior. Among them, the epsilon phase of Fe2O3 is one of the less studied polymorphs and there is a lack of information about its structural, electronic and magnetic transformations at extreme conditions. Here we report the precise determination of its equation of state and a deep analysis of the evolution of the polyhedral units under compression, thanks to the agreement between our experiments and ab-initio simulations. Our results indicate that this material, with remarkable magnetic properties, is stable at pressures up to 27 GPa. Above 27 GPa, a volume collapse has been observed and ascribed to a change of the local env…
Carbohydrate quality changes and concurrent changes in cardiovascular risk factors: a longitudinal analysis in the PREDIMED-Plus randomized trial.
2020
[Background]: Overall quality of dietary carbohydrate intake rather than total carbohydrate intake may determine the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Characterization of pressure retarded osmosis lab-scale systems
2016
Power generation from salinity gradient is a viable alternative to produce energy from renewable sources. Pressure Retarded Osmosis (PRO) is one of the technologies proposed so far for the exploitation of such energy source. In the present preliminary work, two different geometry modules were tested under atmospheric pressure (i.e. forward osmosis or depressurized-PRO conditions). The first one is a conventional planar geometry cell. The second is a customized cylindrical membrane module, able to mechanically support the osmotic membrane along with the spacers. The latter, thanks to its design, allows membranes and spacers to be easily changed for testing purposes. A novel simplified proced…
Automated multi-dimensional liquid chromatography
2004
A comprehensive on-line sample clean-up with an integrated two-dimensional HPLC system was developed for the analysis of natural peptides. Samples comprised of endogenous peptides with molecular weights up to 20 kDa were generated from human hemofiltrate (HF) obtained from patients with chronic renal failure. The (poly-)peptides were separated using novel silica-based restricted access materials with strong cation-exchange functionalities (SCX-RAM). The size-selective sample fractionation step is followed by cation-exchange chromatography as the first dimension. The subsequent second dimension of separation is based on hydrophobic interaction using four parallel short reversed-phase (RP) co…
High-Resolution Nonlinear Raman-Spectroscopy in Gases
1990
0377-0486; The resolution in the Raman spectra of gases has been greatly improved by the development of the different methods of non-linear Raman scattering. When two laser beams, one of which has a tunable frequency, are focused in a sample, a stimulated Raman process occurs as soon as the frequency difference between the two lasers is equal to a Raman-active rovibrational or rotational transition frequency. The Raman resonance can be detected in different ways: by coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) or the corresponding Stokes process (CSRS), by a gain in one of the beams (stimulated Raman gain spectroscopy, SRGS) or a loss in the other (inverse Raman spectroscopy, IRS), or even …
Towards the column bed stabilization of columns in capillary electroendosmotic chromatography
2000
This article discusses a novel method generating a continuous bed inside the CEC column. The column bed composed of microparticulate reversed-phase silica is completely immobilized by a hydrothermal treatment using water for the immobilization process. This process eliminates the manufacture of frits of both ends of the column and all problems associated with their preparation. Fundamental studies on operational parameters will be presented such as the dependence of the immobilization on the column temperature, the type of stationary phase and the column back pressure. The immobilized CEC columns show the same high column efficiency as packed columns with frits.
Particle packed columns and monolithic columns in high-performance liquid chromatography-comparison and critical appraisal
2007
The review highlights the fundamentals and the most prominent achievements in the field of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) column development over a period of nearly 50 years. After a short introduction on the structure and function of HPLC columns, the first part treats the major steps and processes in the manufacture of a particle packed column: synthesis and control of particle morphology, sizing and size analysis, packing procedures and performance characterization. The next section is devoted to three subjects, which reflect the recent development and the main future directions of packed columns: minimum particle size of packing, totally porous vs. core/shell particles an…
Hydrodynamics of a cocurrent downflow of gas and foaming liquid through the packed bed. Part II. Liquid holdup and gas pressure drop
2003
Abstract In the present study the results of experiments have been presented whose aim was to determine the values of liquid holdup as well as gas pressure drop through the packing for systems foaming under the pulse flow regime. On the basis of 245 experimental points for the pulse flow regime the verification of the models describing the hydrodynamics of the system has been performed. Attention was focused on the models of Benkrid et al. (Chem. Eng. Sci. 52 (1997) 4021), Pina et al. (AIChE J. 47 (2001) 19) and Fourar et al. (Chem. Eng. Sci. 56 (2001) 5987). It has been concluded that none of the models analysed describes the hydrodynamics of the foaming systems with enough accuracy. Next,…
