Ferromagnetic Ga₁ˍₓ Mnₓ As produced by ion implantation and pulsed-laser melting
We demonstrate the formation of ferromagneticGa₁ˍₓMnₓAsfilms by Mn ion implantation into GaAs followed by pulsed-laser melting. Irradiation with a single excimer laser pulse results in the epitaxial regrowth of the implanted layer with Mn substitutional fraction up to 80% and effective Curie temperature up to 29 K for samples with a maximum Mn concentration of x≈0.03. A remanent magnetization persisting above 85 K has been observed for samples with x≈0.10, in which 40% of the Mn resides on substitutional lattice sites. We find that the ferromagnetism in Ga₁ˍₓMnₓAs is rather robust to the presence of structural defects.The work at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Synthesis and properties of Co-doped titanate nanotubes and their optical sensitization with methylene blue
Here we report on a novel chemical route to synthesize homogenous cobalt
doped titanate nanotubes (CoTNT), using an amorphous Co-doped precursor. The
influence of the synthesis temperature, autoclave dwell time and metal doping
on the structural and microstructural as well as on the optical properties of
the synthesized titanate nanotubes is studied and discussed. The optical band
gaps of the CoTNT samples are red shifted in comparison with the values
determined for the undoped samples, such red shifts bringing the absorption
edge of the CoTNT samples into the visible region. CoTNT materials also
demonstrate particular high adsorption ability for methylene blue, the amount
of the adsorbed dye being higher than the one predictable for a monolayer
formation. This suggests the possibility of intercalation of the dye molecule
between the TiO6 layers of the TNT structure. It is also shown that the
methylene blue sensitized Co-doped nanostructures are highly stable under UV
radiation and present a strong and broad absorption in the visible region.Comment: 31 pages, 3 tables, 7 figure
Hora da colheita: hora de cuidar do seu produto e de você. Estação de trabalho.
Na presente publicação, são apresentados um conjunto de equipamentos que facilitam e aumentam o rendimento das operações de colheita e beneficiamento de hortaliças. O conjunto é adequado para pequenas propriedades rurais onde não seja viável economicamente a construção de uma casa de embalagem de alvenaria, ou em propriedades maiores que precisem de uma infraestrutura de apoio junto à lavoura, para posterior remoção dos produtos colhidos para a casa de embalagem onde são executadas operações mais complexas de beneficiamento, embalagem e armazenamento.bitstream/item/120472/1/COT-101-X2-INTERNET.pd
Synthesis of sub-5 nm Co-doped SnO nanoparticles and their structural, microstructural, optical and photocatalytic properties
A swift chemical route to synthesize Co-doped SnO nanopowders is
described. Pure and highly stable SnCoO (0 x
0.15) crystalline nanoparticles were synthesized, with mean grain sizes <
5 nm and the dopant element homogeneously distributed in substitutional sites
of the SnO matrix. The UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra of the
SnCoO samples reveal red shifts, the optical bandgap
energies decreasing with increasing Co concentration. The Urbach energies of
the samples were calculated and correlated with their bandgap energies. The
photocatalytic activity of the SnCoO samples was
investigated for the 4-hydroxylbenzoic acid (4-HBA) degradation process. A
complete photodegradation of a 10 ppm 4-HBA solution was achieved using 0.02%
(w/w) of SnCoO nanoparticles in 60 min of
irradiation.Comment: 29 pages, 2 tables, 10 figure
