Study of the Static Properties I-V of Mosfet

Today, telecommunications, data processing, physics and electronics, take a very important place in the activities of research of the various laboratories. In the field of the ultra high frequencies, the field-effect transistor MOSFET caused many studies and research to exploit its interesting and promising characteristics as well as possible. The objective of this contribution is devoted to study the static properties I-V of MOSFET. The study enables us to calculate the drain current as function of bias in both linear and saturated modes; this effect is evaluated using a numerical simulation program, one could notice that the MOS transistor characteristics are very sensitive to the temperature. The load of inversion via the threshold voltage and the mobility of the carriers are the two principal impacted parameters, it was noted that the increase in the temperature induces a drop of the threshold voltage like that of mobility, and an immediate consequence of this reduction is the diminution in the drain current. One can thus conclude that the temperature influences the performances of the device; more it is low, better is the reliability of the device under operation.     

Synthesis and utilization of mesoporous alumina as a supporting material of Ce-promoted Ni-based catalysts in the methane reforming process

Due to the large applications of hydrogen as a feedstock of chemical industries and as an energy carrier, its production on large scales with low costs has attracted researchers. Steam reforming of methane (SRM) is the most common process for producing H₂-rich syngas over Ni/Al₂O₃ catalysts, which suffer from coke deposition and Ni particles agglomeration. For overcoming these issues, we have synthesized mesoporous alumina (MA) as a supporting material of Ni particles, structure, and activity, which were compared with the bulk alumina (BA) supported catalysts in the SRM process for the first time. Besides, cerium as an appropriate promoter for lowering deposited coke was added to all prepared catalysts. The reaction temperature (600–700°C), Ni loading (10–25 wt.%), and Ce loading (1–5 wt.%) were the parameters that were optimized for maximizing H₂ yield and CH₄ conversion. Prepared samples were characterized by various techniques before and/or after reaction. The results of TEM and XRD depicted the formation of nanocrystalline and mesoporous structure for Ni-MA catalysts compare to Ni-BA samples. The observations indicated that 20Ni-3Ce/MA had the highest catalytic performance, achieving a CH₄ conversion of 91.0% and H₂ yield of 92.8% at 700°C.     

An investigation on the correlation between rheology and morphology of nanocomposite foams based on low‐density polyethylene and ethylene vinyl acetate blends

This article presents the correlation between rheology and morphology of nanocomposite foams of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), and their blends. LDPE/EVA nanocomposites were prepared via melt mixing and then foamed using batch foaming method. To assess the rheological behavior of polymer melts, frequency sweep and creep recovery tests were done. Morphology of the samples was also studied by scanning electron microscopy and X‐ray diffraction. The results showed that with increase in clay content, storage modulus, complex and zero shear viscosities will be increased, which affect the foam morphology. In addition, elasticity plays an important role in foaming process, in a way that samples with more elasticity percentage have the highest cell density and the lowest cell size. POLYM.
