The present paper describes a new method for manufacturing a nanostructured porous layer of TiO2 on a conducting glass substrate for use in a dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cell. The method involves deposition of a layer of semiconductor particles onto a conducting substrate and compression of the particle layer to form a mechanically stable, electrically conducting, and porous nanostructured film at room temperature. Photoelectrochemical characteristics and morphology of the resulting nanostructured films are presented. The potential use of the new manufacturing method in the future applications of nanostructured systems is discussed. 相似文献
We present a family of techniques for the transmission electron microscope that generate surface zone-axis patterns. These patterns display the variation of the diffracted-beam intensity as a function of the angle of the incident electrons. The conditions of the experiments are those of reflection high-energy electron diffraction at near grazing incidence. The techniques are: surface convergent-beam diffraction, a surface analogue of the Tanaka method and a modified double-rocking scheme. Experimental results are presented for diffraction from surfaces of MgO and MoS2. We anticipate that surface zone-axis patterns (surface ZAPs) will become established as an important tool for surface characterization, especially when used in conjunction with high-resolution surface imaging and surface energy loss spectroscopy; surface ZAPs may be expected to play, in surface analysis, a role analogous to that played by convergent-beam diffraction in normal transmission electron microscopy. 相似文献
In the verified architecture microprocessor (VAMP) project we have designed, functionally verified, and synthesized a processor
with full DLX instruction set, delayed branch, Tomasulo scheduler, maskable nested precise interrupts, pipelined fully IEEE
compatible dual precision floating point unit with variable latency, and separate instruction and data caches. The verification
has been carried out in the theorem proving system PVS. The processor has been implemented on a Xilinx FPGA.
A shorter version of this article with the title “Instantiating uninterpreted functional units and memory system: functional
verification of the VAMP” appeared in [8]. The work reported here was done while all the authors were with Saarland University. 相似文献
The common way to construct Voronoi tessellations is to compare the distances between given reference points using a given
distance function. To generalize this distance-function concept we expand an existing approach which defines distance functions
by their ``unit circles'. Our new approach allows modeling the ``unit circles' by a closed Spline curve. Changing the control
polygon directly affects the tessellation's appearance. Typically generalized Voronoi diagrams are represented by Voronoi
vertices and curves separating the individual tiles. To obtain interactive modeling we extended an existing hardware accelerated
rendering approach computing a bitmap-representation using different colors for individual tiles. With our extension, we are
able to use our Spline distance representations as input for a growing process. This growing process easily takes into account
weighting approaches like multiplicative, additive, and even free functional weighting. 相似文献
The Dokan Reservoir dam is a concrete cylindrical arch with gravity abutments, located on the Lesser Zab River about 60 km from the city of Sulaimani in north‐eastern Iraq. A bathymetric survey was conducted in November 2014 for a period of 10 days, using an echo sounder of 200‐kHz single beam. The survey results indicated an annual average sediment deposition of 3.8 million m3. Thirty‐two sediment samples were collected from the reservoir bed. The ratio of gravel, sand, silt and clay was 15:14:48:23, respectively. The reservoir bed is covered mainly with silt. The sediments are composed of silty clay (77.6%), silty sandy clay (10%), sandy gravely silty clay (1.2%) and gravely sandy silty clay (1%). 相似文献
Catalytic combustion, as an alternative to conventional thermal combustion, has received considerable attention during the past decade. Research efforts have been promoted by the need to meet governmental demands concerning pollution and the wish to use energy sources more efficiently. The two main advantages offered by catalytic combustors over flame combustors apply to these goals:
Catalytic combustion can be carried out over a wide range of fuel concentrations in air and at low temperatures.
These low temperatures result in attaining NO, emission levels substantially lower than possible with conventional combustors.
Summary: The influence of number‐average molecular weight ranging from 1.4 · 104 to 1.2 · 106 g/mol on the thermal behaviour of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has been studied. Samples have been prepared by radiation‐induced degradation of commercial PTFE. The molecular weight has been calculated using end‐group concentration determined by infrared (IR) spectroscopy and 19F solid‐state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Melting and crystallisation heats were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results have been discussed with respect to quantitative relationships between number‐average molecular weight and heat of crystallisation of PTFE described in the literature. The molecular weight calculated from Suwa's equation, which is often used in the literature, has been found to be too low.
