Spin-coated nickel doped cadmium sulfide thin films for third harmonic generation applications

In the current study, different percentages of Nickel (0%, 2%, 4% and 6%) doped CdS thin films have been deposited on glass substrates by the sol-gel spin-coating technique. Before performing the nonlinear optical studies, the structural, morphological and optical properties were examined as a function of Ni doping concentration through the XRD, SEM, AFM and UV–vis spectrometry, respectively. According to the XRD patterns, all films are polycrystalline and the incorporation of Ni does not change qualitatively the crystalline phase of CdS. The Ni doping affects the surface morphology of the CdS thin films which is indicated by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy images. The band gap was determined via the equation related to the absorption coefficient. It\u27s deduced that the optical band-gap values increased from 2.35 eV to 2.41 eV depending on Ni content. Though, the nonlinear optical properties were determined based on the measurements of the third harmonic generation (THG) using the rotational Maker fringe technique. The results showed that the third order nonlinear optical susceptibilities oscillate between 5.40 × 10−21 m2/V2 for CdS:Ni (2%) and 4.98 × 10−21 m2/V2 for CdS:Ni (6%) while the pure CdS one falls inward, with a value of 5.09 × 10−21 m2/V2

Une cause inhabituelle d'altération neurologique Postopératoire : La Pneumocéphalie

La pneumocéphalie postopératoire est une complication fréquente chez le traumatisé crânien mais relativement rare de la chirurgie intracrânienne. Nous présentons le cas d’un malade de 8 ans qui, après exérèse d’une volumineuse tumeur de 3ème ventricule, a développé une pneumocéphalie importante révélée par un retard de réveil avec mydriase bilatérale aréactive. A travers cette observation et une revue de la littérature, les caractéristiques cliniques, physiopathologiques et thérapeutiques de cette complication seront discutées
