Transmission-line model to analyze a multistage polarizer rotator
1991
A simple transmission-line model to design a broadband system consisting of a multilayered polarization rotator that rotates the polarization plane of a linearly polarized electromagnetic wave is presented. A simulation program that permits the design of the rotator parameters was implemented, and a prototype was designed, manufactured, and tested. Comparisons between the theoretical results and measurements are given, and a good correspondence is found.
Multi-Resolution error analysis of predicted absorption coefficients. Method and application to the infrared spectrum of methane at high temperature.
2010
La version V2 inclut les modifications proposées par les reviewers.; International audience; A general method for the estimation of the confidence interval of molecular absorption coefficients is presented. Statistical numerical experiments are implemented to quantify the propagation of errors from line parameters to absorption coefficients or cross-sections as a function of the resolution. The method uses line parameter predictions (position and intensity) with estimated uncertainties derived from global polyad models. This work is especially intended to provide expert information for applications requiring theoretical predictions for which the present state of the art of line by line high…
Guidelines for the assessment of the rate law of slurry photocatalytic reactions
2017
Abstract The assessment of the rate law of slurry photocatalytic reactions appears to be a hard task, mainly because in this type of reactions the average rate of reaction, which is experimentally observed in a real reactor, could be very different from the “true” (intrinsic) rate of reaction, which cannot be measured directly. In the present work, it is shown how a proper mathematical model allows the utilization of the differential and/or the integral methods of kinetic analysis. The mathematical model must take into account not only the momentum and the mass balances, but also the radiative transfer equation. However, the discrimination among different proposed kinetic laws remains diffi…
Crystalline-Size Dependence of Dual Emission Peak on Hybrid Organic Lead-Iodide Perovskite Films at Low Temperatures
2018
In this work, we have investigated the crystalline-size dependence of optical absorption and photoluminescence emission of CH3NH3PbI3 films, which is necessary to identify the potential practical applications of the gadgets based on perovskite films. This study was carried out at low temperatures to minimize the extra complexity induced by thermal effects. The purpose was to clarify the origin of the dual emission peak previously reported in the literature. We found that the grain size is responsible for the appearance or disappearance of this dual emission on CH3NH3PbI3 at low temperatures, whereas we have inferred that the thickness of the perovskite layer is a much more important factor …
A reaction engineering approach to kinetic analysis of photocatalytic reactions in slurry systems
2016
Abstract The knowledge of the rate equation is fundamental for the assessment of the activity of the photocatalytic material and for the study, design and optimization of photocatalytic reactors. In the case of photocatalytic reactions, the local volumetric rate of photon absorption (LVRPA) affects the reaction rate and its inherently uneven distribution within a “slurry” reactor makes complex a correct kinetic analysis. In the present work it is shown which are the critical aspects of the kinetic analysis in slurry reactors and how to carry out photocatalytic experiments to minimize the misinterpretations of the experimental results. In particular, the influence of the type of illumination…
Quasi-isoactinic reactor for photocatalytic kinetics studies
2007
Photochemical reactors characterized by almost uniform values of the local volumetric rate of photon absorption (LVRPA), i.e., quasi-isoactinic photoreactors, are particularly suitable for assessing the influence of radiant field intensity in kinetic studies. In this work, Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to obtain LVRPA values in a flat photoreactor irradiated on both sides. This configuration appears to be particularly suitable for obtaining quasi-isoactinic conditions. The influence of catalyst albedo and scattering phase function is assessed, and the conditions for obtaining iso-actinicity are discussed. Finally, these conditions are related to an easy-to-measure parameter, n…
Water capillary absorption in porous media in different wettability conditions studied by Quantitative MRI and X-ray CT
2007
X-ray computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been successfully applied to study both the capillary properties of several samples of Lecce stone and the performances of treatments used for protection and conservation of historical stone artifacts. The presence of water inside the sample may be visualized by both MRI and X-ray CT. For the treated samples, the different dynamics of water absorption gives indirectly the efficacy of the polymer in the rock.

<title>X-ray absorption spectroscopy study of the local environment around tungsten and molybdenum ions in tungsten-phosphate and molybdenum-ph…
1997
X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) was used to study the local environment around tungsten and molybdenum ions in BaO-P2O5-WO3 and CaO-P2O5-MoO3 glasses having different composition of WO3 and MoO3 oxides. The W L1,3 and Mo K edges x-ray absorption spectra were measured in transmission mode at room temperature using the synchrotron radiation emitted by the ADONE and LURE DCI storage rings, respectively. The analysis of x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) in glasses was performed in comparison with the results for a number of crystalline WO3, CaWO4, Na0.66WO3 alpha- MoO3, beta-MoO3 and amorphous a-WO3, a-MoO3 compounds. The resul…
Wavelet data analysis of EXAFS spectra
2009
Abstract The application of wavelet transform to the analysis of the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) from perovskite-type compounds is presented on the example of the Re L 3 -edge in ReO 3 and Co K-edge in LaCoO 3 . We propose a modified wavelet transform procedure, which allows better discrimination of the overlapped contributions into the EXAFS signal.
