Performance of interdigitated nanoelectrodes for electrochemical DNA biosensor.
2003
An electrochemical methodology for bio-molecule sensing using an array of well-defined nanostructures is presented. We describe the fabrication by e-beam lithography of nanoelectrodes consisting of a 100 micro m x 50 micro m area containing interdigitated electrodes of 100 nm in width and interelectrode distance of 200 nm. Sensitivity and response time of the nanoelectrodes are compared to the responses of macro- and microelectrodes. The specificity of the sensor is studied by modifying the gold electrodes with DNA. The technique enables to characterize both single and double-stranded DNA of 15 nucleotides. A special electrochemical cell is adapted to control the temperature and measure the…
Dendrimers with peripheral stilbene chromophores
2006
Abstract Two types of dendritic nanoparticles were prepared, which contain ( E )-stilbene chromophores in the terminal positions of the dendrons. The compounds showed a highly efficient photoreactivity in the course of which statistical CC bond formations led to a crosslinking of the particles. Finally, all stilbene chromophores reacted and the typical ( E )-stilbene absorption and fluorescence disappeared completely.
Poly(propylene imine) dendrimers functionalized with stilbene or 1,4-distyrylbenzene chromophores
2007
Abstract Two generations of dendritic nanoparticles were prepared, which contain ( E )-stilbene or ( E , E )-1,4-distyrylbenzene chromophores in the 4 or 8 terminal positions of the propylene imine dendrons. The compounds show a highly efficient photoreactivity. On prolonged irradiation all stilbenoid chromophores were destroyed by oligomerization (crosslinking) and the typical absorption and fluorescence of the chromophores disappeared completely.

Experimental setup for analysis of sorption and desorption of tritium in liquid lithium under different external conditions
2013
An original complex device has been designed and created specially for this research. Some of tritium sorption and thermal desorption in liquid lithium experiments has been successfully done already. First experiment series were carried out under reduced pressure (vacuum) to rule out other operating gases (like Ar) that may squeeze out tritium from lithium. Experiments showed good tritium desorption from lithium which highly depends on the temperature. A proportional gas counter tritium monitor was used to collect data from tritium thermal desorption experiments.
Investigation of water transfer across thin layer biopolymer films by infrared spectroscopy
2011
International audience; The investigation of the apparent diffusivity of water in thin layer iota-carrageenan-based films by FTIR-ATR spectroscopy clearly evidences the fundamental role of surface properties on water transfer. Water diffusivity in iota-carrageenan based biopolymer films ranges from 0.3 to 1.3 × 10−10 m2 s−1 and is thus 10–100 times lower than that in highly hydrated carrageenan gels. The surface heterogeneity and composition when fat is added strongly influence the diffusivity by modifying the liquid water absorption at the inner surface.This study of diffusing molecules in liquid state is particularly interesting to mimic situations where direct liquid water contact occurs…
Analysis and parametric sensitivity of the behavior of overshoots in the concentration of a charged adsorbate in the adsorbed phase of charged adsorb…
2003
In this work, an analysis of the parametric sensitivity of the overshoot in the concentration of the adsorbate in the adsorbed phase, which occurs under certain conditions during an ion-exchange adsorption process, is presented and used to suggest practical implications of the concentration overshoot phenomenon on operational policies and configurations of chromatographic columns and finite bath adsorption systems. The results presented in this work demonstrate and explain how the development of an overshoot in the concentration of the adsorbate in the adsorbed phase could be enhanced or suppressed by (i) varying the diffusion coefficient, D3, of the adsorbate relative to the diffusion coef…
Transport coefficients of n-butane into and through the surface of silicalite-1 from non-equilibrium molecular dynamics study
2009
We have studied coupled heat and mass transfer of n-butane through a membrane of silicalite-1. A description of the surface was given using non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and transport coefficients were determined. Three independent coefficients were found for the whole surface: the resistance to heat transfer, the coupling coefficient and the resistance to mass transfer. These coefficients were defined in stationary state. All resistances are significant, and show that the surface acts as a barrier to transport. A new scheme was devised to find the enthalpy of adsorption, from two particular coupling coefficients, namely the measurable heats of transfer. The method yields the enthalpy of …
Oxygen influence on luminescence properties of rare-earth doped NaLaF 4
2016
Abstract Luminescence properties of erbium and europium doped NaLaF4 with different oxygen content have been studied. Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) excitation luminescence spectroscopy technique has been applied by using synchrotron radiation excitation. It was found that oxygen impurity leads to significant degradation of Er3+ or Eu3+ emission under VUV excitation. The intensive O2−–Er3+ charge transfer excitation band has been detected from oxygen abundant NaLaF4 in the 150–165 nm spectral range. This band reveals a competing absorption mechanism in oxygen containing NaLaF4. It is clearly demonstrated that one reason for the Er3+ emission degradation in oxygen abundant NaLaF4 is strong suppres…
Structure of doped polyaniline - dielectric spectroscopy measurements
1993
The role of doping reagents (residual water and acid anions) in determining the electric properties of a chemically synthesized polyaniline (PANI) was studied using a dielectric spectroscopy method. Dependencies of dielectric losses and susceptibility of PANI as the functions of temperature (-100÷+100°C) and electric field frequency (0.3÷30000 Hz) were examined at it was shown the role of water acts as a doping impurity similar to acid anions. The model is proposed to explain the role of water in terms of adsorption of H 2 O molecules at nitrogen sites of PANI chain and their dissociation
