Evaluation of a chemical munition dumpsite in the Baltic Sea based on geophysical and chemical investigations

This paper discusses the results of geophysical and chemical investigations carried out in a chemical munition dumpsite in the southern Baltic Sea, east of the island of Bornholm. After WW2 over 32,000 tons of chemical war material was dumped here including shells and bombs as well as small drums and containers. The geophysical investigations combined very-high-resolution seismics and gradiometric measurements. The results indicate the presence of a large number of objects buried just below the seafloor. The size of the objects and their distribution, with a marked increase in density towards the center of the dumpsite, suggests that we are dealing with dumped war material. Sediment and near-bottom water samples, taken within the dumpsite and in the surrounding area, were analysed for the presence of various chemical warfare agents (CWA) including Adamsite, Clark, sulphur mustard, tabun, chlorobenzene and arsine oil. The results indicate a widespread contamination that reaches far beyond the dumpsite boundary. CWA degradation products were found in most of the sediment samples. The contamination was mostly related to arsenic containing compounds; only one sample indicated the presence of sulfur mustard. Although the correlation between detected objects and CWA concentrations is not always straightforward, the overall results suggest that a lot of the dumped war material is leaking and that over the years the contamination has reached the seafloor sediments.     

Fabrication of Silicon Inverse Woodpile Photonic Crystals

Silicon inverse woodpile photonic crystals are fabricated for the first time. Our approach, which is based on direct laser writing of polymeric templates and a novel silicon single‐inversion procedure, leads to high‐quality structures with gap/midgap ratios of 14.2 %, centered at a wavelength of 2.5 μm. It is shown that gap/midgap ratios as large as 20.5 %, centered at 1.55 μm, may become possible in the future.

Synthesis, characterization of CeO2@SiO2 nanoparticles and their oxide CMP behavior

SiO₂ ultrafine spheres are prepared by sol-gel method using tetraethylorthosilicate and ammonia as raw materials. CeO₂-coated SiO₂ (CeO₂@SiO₂) composite nanoparticles are also synthesized through chemical precipitation method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) are used to characterize the CeO₂@SiO₂ composite particles. Silicon wafer covered by thermal oxide film is polished by CeO₂@SiO₂ composite abrasives, and the polishing behavior of novel composite abrasives is characterized by atomic force microscope (AFM). The results indicate that the phases of the as-prepared CeO₂@SiO₂ composite particles are composed of cubic fluorite CeO₂ and amorphous SiO₂. CeO₂@SiO₂ composite particles have excellent spherical morphologies and uniform particle size of 150-200 nm. The particle size of CeO₂ as shell is about 10 nm. After coating, the chemical state of SiO₂ is changed due to the formation of Si-O-Ce bond. The root-mean-square (RMS) roughness within 10 × 10 μm² area of thermal oxide film after polished by CeO₂@SiO₂ composite abrasives is 0.428 nm, and material removal rate can reach 454.6 nm/min.     

Origin of unusual thermoelectric transport behaviors in carbon nanotube filled polymer composites after solvent/acid treatments

Composites made of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and carbon nanotube (CNT) have shown unchanged or even increased thermopower when electrical conductivity was raised by altering the concentration of CNT and/or treating the composites with a polar solvent, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or an acid, formic acid (FA). Unlike typical adversely correlated thermopower and electrical conductivity, remarkable increases in electrical conductivity by the treatment did not decrease thermopower. Furthermore, it is necessary to use an optimum CNT concentration to maximize thermopower and the power factor. In this study, an intermediate CNT concentration of 6.7 wt% showed the highest thermopower and power factor unlike other reports with typical organic composites. The origin of the unusual transport properties was suggested by studying changes in the relative ratio of conducting PEDOT core and insulating PSS, morphology, and carrier concentration and mobility. Our results indicate that the PSS removal by DMSO and FA could alter the carrier transport barrier, and CNT-PEDOT:PSS-CNT junctions could increase thermopower for composites with a low CNT concentration by avoiding direct contacts between CNTs.     

SnO2 decorated SiO2 chemical sensors: Enhanced sensing performance toward ethanol and acetone

SnO₂ decorated SiO₂ chemical sensors with different Sn/Si ratios were synthesized by micro-emulsion followed by ultrasonic-assisted deposition-precipitation method and used for highly sensitive and selective detection of ethanol and acetone. XRD, EDS, SEM, and TEM were used to characterize the samples. The results confirm deposition of small crystalline tin oxide particles on the surface of silica particles. Using these formed materials for detection of ethanol and acetone resulted in significant enhancement of the sensitivity and reducing temperature of maximum response in comparison to the pure SnO₂. The selectivity of the sample with the highest sensitivity to ethanol and acetone, i.e. 80 wt% SnO₂/SiO₂, was examined by measuring its sensitivity to some interfering gases including carbon monoxide, methane, toluene, Trichloroethylene (TCE) and propane; the results showed very high selectivity of the sensor to ethanol and acetone, especially at low temperatures. The sensor responses to traces of acetone in the air with the concentration ranging from 0.5 to 5 ppm at different temperatures of 70, 170 and 270, and 370 °C were measured to evaluate the capability of the sensor for detection of acetone in the breath of human, which is helpful in the diabetes diagnosis. The sensor could effectively show high enough sensitivity even to these very low concentrations of acetone which reveals its high potential for being used in acetone detection devices. Finally, the effect of humidity on the sensitivity of sensor to acetone was investigated. Increasing the humidity of background air, caused the sensor response to decrease and the operating temperature of maximum response of the sensor to increase.     

Synthesis and photoluminescence characterizations of the Er3+-doped ZnO nanosheets with irregular porous microstructure

Er-doped ZnO nanosheets with high quality were synthesized by the hydrothermal and post-annealing techniques, and the effect of erbium dopant on the structures, morphologies and photoluminescence properties of the as-synthesized samples were determined using XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS, PL and Raman spectroscopy. The results showed that Er³⁺ ions were successfully incorporated into the crystal lattice of ZnO host, and some irregular porous microstructure with diameter of 3–10 nm could be seen on ZnO nanosheets as various doping concentrations. It was found that the crystallization and photoluminescence properties of ZnO nanosheets were strongly influenced by erbium doping concentration. The ultraviolet emission and deep level emission were both appeared in PL spectra, and the intensity of the whole deep level emission was enhanced with erbium doping, indicating the deep-level-defect luminescent centers were increased in the doped samples. Moreover, the crystallization of the samples became worse due to more defects by erbium doping.
