Cathodoluminescence study in AlxGa1 − xN structures

In this work, we consider a 2D model for calculation of cathodoluminescence in GaN-based structures. This model is developed using an extended generation profile and taking into account the influence of the carrier diffusion process, internal absorption and some radiative recombination processes. First, we have investigated the effect of hole diffusion length and the surface recombination velocity on the CL spectra of GaN sample grown at 800 °C by MOVPE method. Then, we have calculated the dependence of CL intensity from AlGaN alloys as a function of Al content and the electron beam energy.

Results show a red shift of the CL peaks when the beam energy is varied from 2 to 10 keV at room temperature. The band-edge emission of Al_xGa_1 − xN shifts about 0.49 eV when the Al composition is increased from x = 0.18 to 0.38. Comparison of the experimental spectra with simulations shows a good agreement.

Morphological study on thermal treatment and degradation behaviors of solution-grown poly(l-lactide) single crystals

Morphological changes of solution-grown crystals (SGCs) of poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) following thermal treatment and enzymatic degradation were investigated using atomic force microscopy in terms of defects in the crystals. PLLA SGCs were grown from a dilute solution of acetonitrile at 5 °C. The obtained solution-grown monolamellar crystals have a lozenge-shaped morphology containing unique dimensions, with one side measuring 12 μm. To investigate enzymatic degradation behavior, PLLA SGCs were incubated in buffered solution with proteinase-K at 37 °C. The initial stage of enzymatic degradation of PLLA SGCs with proteinase-K occurs in loosely folding chains at the surface of the crystal. Thermally treated PLLA SGCs below the melting temperature showed an increase of the lamellar thickness of the SGCs at the treated temperature and partial surface erosion following enzyme exposure. These results indicate that less ordered chains exist throughout the lamellae and their thermal-induced chain extension makes them more susceptible to enzyme attack.     

Density of States and Impurity Effects in Non-Fermi Superconductors

We analyzed the non-Fermi behavior of high-temperature copper oxides, extending the model proposed by Anderson and Yin and Chakravarty. We show that there is an agreement between critical temperatures calculated in two different ways. We discussed also the effect of an energy-dependent density of states (which can be singular), and the critical temperature degradation in the non-Fermi liquid, due to a small amount of impurities.     

Kinetics of reductive degradation of Orange II in aqueous solution by zero‐valent iron

The reductive degradation of Orange II in aqueous solution by zero‐valent iron was investigated. The degradation of Orange II followed pseudo‐first‐order kinetics at various pH values and initial Orange II levels, but the formation of sodium sulfanilate, a major reductive product of Orange II, followed zero‐order kinetics.

Controlled degradation of epoxy networks: analysis of crosslink density and glass transition temperature changes in thermally reworkable thermosets

The characteristics of networks formed in cured ‘reworkable’ epoxy thermosets capable of controlled thermal degradation were studied. Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, swelling measurements, and glass transition temperature measurements were used to obtain information regarding the time and temperature dependence of the crosslink densities of these materials. By applying isothermal conditions, networks containing up to 36 mol% non-degradable components could be completely degraded, i.e. progress from a network of infinite molecular weight to a finite one with zero crosslink density. Percolation theory was used to facilitate the interpretation of these results. The degradation behavior of the reworkable thermosets were well-described by gel degradation theory, i.e. the reverse of the gelation process, and the experimental results were in good agreement with calculated values obtained by replacing the extent of reaction, p, in Macosko and Miller's branching theory with the extent of degradation, 1−p.     

Effect of UV aging on the tensile and fracture mechanical response of syndiotactic polypropylenes of various crystallinity

Syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP) sheets of various crystallinities were subjected to accelerated ultraviolet (UV) aging. The chemical modification of the polymer was followed by FTIR spectroscopy measuring the carbonyl index in transmittance (film) and diffuse reflectance (powder) modes. Both the tensile stress and strain, suitable indicators of the UV aging, changed linearly with the carbonyl index in semilogarithmic representation. The essential work of fracture (EWF) method proved to be less suitable for characterization, as the UV irradiation resulted in surface embrittlement of the polymer. This caused brittle fracture of the notched specimens instead of the required ductile one. On the other hand, the term of the specific work of fracture related to yielding may adequately reflect the structural and morphological changes of sPP caused by UV irradiation. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Photodegradation of phenol red in the presence of oxyhydroxide of Fe(III) (Goethite) under artificial and a natural light

The (α‐FeOOH) Goethite composite is a stable and an efficient catalyst in aqueous suspension under irradiation at 365 nm and by solar light. The photocatalytic activities of this composite were evaluated using Phenol Red (PR) dye (phenolsulfonphthalein class). In the dark, controlling factors, such as the pH and the adsorption of PR on Goethite surface were evaluated (before starting the photochemical experiments). It was found that the system PR‐Goethite present a small decrease in the main band of the dye (435 nm) which was explained by the low rate of adsorption of this dye on the Goethite. Also, we note that 40% of PR decolourisation was obtained after 200 min by the system PR‐Goethite‐hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) in dark due to the formation of ^?OH by thermal decomposition of H₂O₂ on the surface of Goethite. The effects of various experimental parameters, such as initial dye concentration, pH, photocatalyst amount, tert‐Butyl alcohol effect and H₂O₂ addition were investigated in the study of photodegradation of the dye. The results showed that the photodegradation of PR under UV‐A (365 nm) irradiation could be enhanced greatly in the presence of H₂O₂. Natural radiation tests (under sunlight) showed that degradation was faster comparing with that obtained using the artificial one at 365 nm. Studies of the mineralization using total organic carbon method under naturel light certify that this method, compatible with the environment, may be considered in the treatment of wastewater and generally in the process of removal of this kind of pollutant.
