Characteristics of Schottky Barrier Junction Based on Hexagonal Microtube ZnO

Hexagonal microtube ZnO was firstly grown on single crystal p-Si (111) substrates by hydrothermal method, and fabricated Ag/n-ZnO and Au/n-ZnO Schottky junction. Schottky effective barrier heights were calculated by I-V measurement. It is confirmed that the presence of a large amount of surface states related possibly to lattice imperfections existed near the surface leads to the pinning of the surface Fermi level at 0.35 eV below the conduction-band edge. Then the fabricated Schottky barrier junctions are evaluated for their use as UV photodetectors.     

On stability of second-order quasi-polynomials with a single delay

In this note the stability of a second-order quasi-polynomial with a single delay is studied. Although there is a vast literature on this problem, most available solutions are limited to some particular cases. Moreover, some published results on this subject appear to contain imprecise, or even wrong, conditions. The purpose of this note is to show that by accurate application of known theories, a complete explicit characterization of stability regions can be derived in a most general case. As a byproduct of the proposed analysis, we show that in the high-order case the quasi-polynomial is delay-independent unstable whenever its delay-free version has an odd number of unstable roots (or, equivalently, a negative static gain).     

Synthesis of distillation trains by thermodynamic analysis

Thermodynamic principles, involving mainly: (1) minimum reversible work of separation and (2) second-law analysis that accounts for irreversibility, are used to synthesize separation trains. These principles lead to a development and classification into two groups of many of the heuristics appearing in the literature. An efficient algorithm based on reversible thermodynamics leads to optimal structures for simple acyclic trains. Complex structures are efficiently synthesized by algorithms using reversible thermodynamics and second-law analysis. The procedures presented are depth-first algorithms. The optimal structures developed are shown to be strongly influenced by feed and product compositions.     

Dewpoints of flue gases for energy-recovery system design and operation

Low temperature corrosion from flue gases is a common problem in energy recovery systems. We present a simple computation procedure to estimate the dewpoint of combustion gases, which is the limiting design temperature to prevent corrosion. If the composition of fuel oil and the percentage of CO₂ or O₂ in the flue gases are known, the air ratio, percentage of H₂O, p.p.m. of SO₃ in the flue gas, and the dewpoint can be estimated with an error of 1.9%. The results indicate that the dewpoint is high because the combustion conditions are not appropriately adjusted, even if low sulfur fuel oil is used. We conclude that both the fuel quality and the combustion conditions are controlling variables in the design and operation of energy recovery systems.

Multivariate analysis of the correlation between noctuidae subfamilies and the chemical structure of their sex pheromones or male attractants

Female-emitted pheromones and sex attractants of Noctuidae were investigated using a specific computer procedure to analyze data collected from the literature. Correspondence analysis was used to survey the structure-activity relationships of sex pheromones in seven subfamilies. Structural, stereochemical, and functional features of active molecules were related to taxonomy. This multidimensional analysis revealed that the prevalent chemical frame of noctuid moth pheromones was a monounsaturated acetate withZ stereochemistry and a double bond on the fifth carbon closest to the nonfunctional branch of the molecule. Possible phylogenetic relationships within Noctuidae and between Noctuidae and other families are discussed in light of the sex pheromone biochemistry. Female sex pheromones appeared to be an additional character to be considered in the classification of noctuid moths.     

Effect of the addition of fluoride on the conditional solubility of alumina in LiCl-KCl eutectic melt

Owing to its well-known high complexing power toward Al³⁺ ion, fluoride ion is able to increase the solubility of alumina in alkali chloride melts. To determine the extent of this effect, the formation of aluminium(III) fluoro-complexes was studied potentiometrically in LiCl-KCl eutectic at 470°. But the sodium fluoride addition appeared to produce not only the complexation effect but also a mineralization effect on alumina. So, the thermodynamical stability of alumina formed in this melt by precipitation from aluminium chloride with carbonate ion (oxide anion donor) depends on the fluoride ion concentration. These two effects explain the solubility variation of alumina in the LiCl-KCl eutectic + NaF mixtures. A pF^? - pO^2? diagram, which represents the stability area of the various aluminium (III) species is established, and leads to some conclusions concerning the electrowinning of aluminium from molten chloride melts.The cumulative formation constants of the aluminium(lII) fluoro-complexes (AlF^3?i_i) have been obtained, whose values are the following: 2.5 ± 0.4, 4.7 ± 0.6, 5.7 ± 0.5, 7.5 ± 0.4, 8.0 ± 0.5, 9.0 ± 0.6, respectively for i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. It has been shown that oxyfluoride species such as AlOF^1?j_i does not exist. The solubility products of gamma and alpha-alumina have been determined and are equal to 10^?42.9 and 10^?44.0 respectively (all the constants are given in the molality scale). They differ widely from the solubility product of the alumina obtained in the absence of fluoride ion, ie 10^?27.4.
