Characterization of Different Cable Ferrite Materials to Reduce the Electromagnetic Noise in the 2–150 kHz Frequency Range
2018
The gap of standardization for conducted and field coupled electromagnetic interferences (EMI) in the 2–150 kHz frequency range can lead to Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) problems. This is caused by power systems such as Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controlled rectifiers, photovoltaic inverters or charging battery units in electric vehicles. This is a very important frequency spectral due to interferences generated in a wide range of devices and, specifically, communication problems in the new technologies and devices incorporated to the traditional grid to convert it into a Smart Grid. Consequently, it is necessary to provide new solutions to attenuate this kind of interference, which…
Improving the Efficiency of NFC Systems Through Optimizing the Sintered Ferrite Sheet Thickness Selection
2020
The reduction of embedded portable devices involves a magnetic field interference problem when it integrates near field communication (NFC) due to the presence of conductive surfaces, such as ground planes, batteries, or metallic enclosures. Flexible sintered ferrite sheets (FSFS) represent an interesting shielding solution to prevent electromagnetic interferences problems related to NFC, thanks to their ability to control the magnetic flux. The characterization of FSFS effectiveness is analyzed as a function of the sheet thickness in this contribution. This is performed with the aim of determining which is the optimum thickness value to retune an NFC antenna to its original operation frequ…
Phase evolution by thermal treatment of equimolar cobalt–magnesium cordierite glass powders
2004
Abstract The structural evolution with annealing time at temperatures between 900 and 1100 °C of loosely compacted equimolar cobalt–magnesium cordierite glass powder was reported. The glass, with composition MgCoAl4Si5O18, was prepared by melting a glass precursor, previously synthesized by a semiwet method, at 1650 °C. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) of isothermally heated glasses at 900 and 950 °C revealed increased phase separation with thermal treatment. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results of these powders indicated that the first crystalline phase formed was μ cobalt-containing cordierite which transformed to α cordierite with longer annealing. At the beginning of the μ…
Positron Microscopy Studies of Wear Tracks on a Copper Surface
2014
Positron microscopy was used for studies of defects induced by ball indentation or sliding on the surface of well-annealed copper samples. A focused positron beam of 24.5-keV energy was used to scan the deformed region of the indenter impression, and measurements of the annihilation line parameter were performed. In the case of ball indentation, the measured defect distribution correlates well with the von Mises stress distribution of the Hertz contact and the von Mises yield criterion. For the wear track produced by pin on disc dry sliding, an asymmetric defect distribution near the wear track is observed. It indicates the presence of a tangential force that additionally deforms the sample.
Water solubility in trachytic and pantelleritic melts: an experimental study
2021
International audience; Solubility experiments were performed on a trachyte and a pantellerite from Pantelleria. The trachyte has SiO 2 = 65.2 wt%, Al 2 O 3 = 15.2 wt% and a peralkaline index (P.I. = molar[(Na 2 O + K 2 O)/Al 2 O 3 ]) ∼ 1 while the pantellerite has SiO 2 = 72.2 wt%, Al 2 O 3 = 11 wt% and a P.I. = 1.3. Solubility experiments were performed in the pressure range of 50-300 MPa at T = 950°C for the trachyte and 50-200 MPa at T = 850°C for the pantellerite. The water content of experimental glasses was determined by Karl Fischer titration, elemental analyser and FT-IR spectroscopy. Water content appears similar in both compositions for analogous pressure conditions, varying from…
Ordering of fluorite-type phases in erbium-doped oxyfluoride glass ceramics
2018
In this study, novel transparent Er3+ doped glass ceramics were prepared from melt-quenched oxyfluoride glasses with general composition of Na2O-NaF-BaF2-YbF3-Al2O3-SiO2. The crystallization of fluorite (BaF2, BaF2-YbF3, NaF-BaF2-YbF3 and Na0.5-xYb0.5+xF2+2x) and distorted fluorite (rhombohedral Ba4Yb3F17 and tetragonal NaF-BaF2-YbF3) phases was analysed in glass ceramics with different BaF2 and YbF3 ratio. The phase composition and microstructure were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Intense red upconversion luminescence (UCL) was detected under near-infrared excitation resulting from three photon upconversion followed by cross-relaxation betw…
Preparation and properties of radio-frequency-sputtered half-Heusler films for use in solar cells
2011
Abstract The class of half-Heusler compounds opens possibilities to find alternatives for II–VI or III–V compound semiconductors. We aim to find suitable substitutes for the cadmium sulphide buffer layer in chalcopyrite-based thin film solar cells, where the buffer layer is located between the p-type chalcopyrite absorber and an n-type transparent window layer. We report here the preparation of radio-frequency-sputtered lithium copper sulphide “LiCuS” and lithium zinc phosphide “LiZnP” films. The optical analysis of these films revealed band gaps between 1.8 and 2.5 eV, respectively. Chemical properties of the film surface and both interfaces between the film and a Cu ( In , Ga ) Se 2 layer…
Sol-gel auto-combustion synthesis of Ca2Fe2O5 brownmillerite nanopowders and thin films for advanced oxidation photoelectrochemical water treatment i…
2019
Abstract This study describes a straightforward Ca2Fe2O5 brownmillerite nanopowder and thin film synthesis by the water-based sol-gel auto-combustion method. The material characterization results confirmed the phase pure narrow bandgap Ca2Fe2O5 nanoparticle formation. The surface area of synthesized nanopowder was 13.55 m2/g. Powders at loading 1 g/l exhibit high visible light photocatalytic activity by degrading 10 mg/l methylene blue in water in 120 min confirmed by total organic carbon studies. The high visible light photocatalytic activity is related to Ca2Fe2O5 narrow band gap and high reduction potential of its conduction band which triggers the formation of superoxide radical ∙ O 2 -…
Electrochemical Characterization of Archaeological Tin-Opacified Lead-Alkali Glazes and Their Corrosion Processes
2005
The electrochemical response of weathered and unweathered archaeological tin-opacified glazes attached to paraffin-impregnated graphite electrodes is described. Upon comparison with the square wave voltammetric response of SnO2, PbO and PbO2, Sn- and Pb-centered reduction processes can be characterized. Reduction of Sn(IV) involves the stepwise formation of solid Sn(II) and Sn metal, successively, at potentials of −0.08 and −0.55 V vs. AgCl/Ag. Reduction of network-modifier Pb(II) in glazes occurs at −0.5 V and is accompanied by the reduction of network-forming Pb(IV) at potentials ranging from +0.65 to +0.20 V, confirming the presence of such centers in glazes. Voltammetric data suggest th…
