Potential-assisted deposition of mixed alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers

2010

Abstract Preparation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) usually involves passive incubation. The recently developed potential-assisted deposition is indeed more selective as well as 100-fold faster than passive adsorption, thereby enhancing the reproducibility of the monolayer deposition. This article aims to identify the electrodeposition conditions necessary to prepare mixed alkanethiol SAMs on gold surface. Parameters such as concentrations in solution, electrode polarization and deposition time were examined for two chain lengths, C 3 (mercaptopropionic acid, MPA) and C 18 (octadecanethiol, ODT). The kinetics and composition of the SAMs were systematically characterized by reductive st…

Land-use changes in an agro-pastoral area (Djougou, Benin) from Landsat archive images (1984 and 2012): a regressive approach combining remote sensin…

2018

Extended abstract:The vegetation of the district of Djougou is affected by large changes due to tree logging, crop field clearing and grazing by increasing numbers of livestock. The dynamics of the landscape is analyzed with a time series of Landsat satellite images (1984-2012). A regressive approach, exploiting the field observations and semi-structured interviews conducted in 2012-2013 in the Bakou-Wewe territory, documents the evolution of land use and facilitates the analysis of Landsat images. An original procedure targets the building of Region of interest (ROIs) for the historic images for which no available field observations exists. The study area is located in central Benin (Plate…

Les organisations publiques : des institutions communicantes ?

2009

International audience; l'objectif de cet article est de proposer une approche compréhensive de la communication des organisations publiques à travers le cas des Caisses d'Allocations Familiales (CAF). Les travaux dont il est issu ont eu pour objet d'interroger les représentations des cadres, chargés de communication et directeurs des CAF autour de la notion d'institution communicante. Il s'agit notamment de préciser si celle-ci relève d'un artefact ou pourrait -et à quelles conditions- constituer un modèle valide pour analyser la communication des organisations publiques

Synthesis, Electrochemistry, and Photophysics of Aza-BODIPY Porphyrin Dyes

2016

International audience; The synthesis of dyad and triad aza-BODIPY-porphyrin systems in two steps starting from an aryl-substituted aza-BODIPY chromophore is described. The properties of the resulting aza-BODIPY-porphyrin conjugates have been extensively investigated by means of electrochemistry, spectroelectrochemistry, and absorption/emission spectroscopy. Fluorescence measurements have revealed a dramatic loss of luminescence intensity, mainly due to competitive energy transfer and photoinduced electron transfer involving charge separation followed by recombination.

Dimensionnement de structures composites par une méthode FE2 simplifiée. Application au calcul de réservoirs composites

2010

National audience; On propose dans cette étude la modélisation des phénomènes physiques à l'origine et induits par celui de rupture de fibre au sein d'un composite unidirectionnel. Cette modélisation, faite à l'échelle microscopique, permet de construire une base de données qui va décrire cette échelle au sein d'un procédé multiéchelles FE2 simplifié. Ce procédé est ensuite utilisé pour réaliser le dimensionnement à l'éclatement d'un réservoir composite bobiné.

Frozen or dynamic? : An atomistic simulation perspective on the timescales of electrochemical reactions

2023

Electrochemical systems span a wide range of timescales, and several recent works have put forth the idea that the reaction environment should remain frozen and out of equilibrium during electrochemical electron or proton transfer reactions. Furthermore, simplified treatments of the electrochemical interface model the solvent and ions as frozen molecules. However, the claims and practices of a frozen environment strongly clash with most theoretical and simulation approaches developed to study electrochemical reaction rates. It has also been suggested that the electrode potential should not be fixed when simulating reaction rates due to conductivity limitations, which indicates constant pote…

Amorphous silicon nanotubes

2017

In the following, the attention will be focused on the silicon nanotube (SiNTs) that is a highly desired form of silicon for its fundamental role in the miniaturization trend of the electronic devices. After a description of the properties and applications of SiNTs and their fabrication methods, the attention will be focused on chemical vapour deposition (CVD) template synthesis that is the most usual synthetic method for this material. Then, galvanic template synthesis will be described as a general method for the fabrication of different metals and oxides nanostructures, therefore the use of this technique for synthesizing SiNTs will be detailed. Characterization methods will be also desc…
