Photoinduced phenomena are of general interest for new materials. Recently, photoinduced molecular desorption of oxygen has been reported in carbon nanotubes. Here we present, using thermopower measurements, that carbon nanotubes when exposed simultaneousl ...
The partial oxidn. of toluene over V2O5/TiO2 catalysts is a reaction of industrial interest. In spite of the detailed study of the nature of surface vanadia species, there is an evident lack of the information concerning their reactivity. The present work ...
The role was studied, of bulk V2O5 in vanadia/titania catalysts in partial oxidn. of toluene. Two catalysts with 1.8 and 11.1% of V were studied, by in situ DRIFTS and transient-response methods. Bulk V2O5 was found by FT-Raman spectroscopy only in the 11. ...
Partial oxidn. of toluene on V/Ti oxide catalysts is a reaction of industrial interest. In spite of the detailed study of the nature of surface vanadia species, there is an evident lack of the information concerning their reactivity. The present work demon ...
We investigate at the atomic scale the oxygen diffusion process occurring during silicon oxidation. First, we address the energetics of several oxygen species in the oxide using density-functional calculations. Our results support the interstitial O-2 mole ...
Using a density functional approach, we determine the relative stability of various oxygen species in alpha -quartz. We considered interstitial species in the form of atomic and molecular oxygen, as well as network species, such as peroxyl and ozonyl link- ...
Oxygen is a key substrate in animal cell metab. and its consumption is thus a parameter of great interest for bioprocess monitoring and control. A system for measuring it based on an oxygen balance on the liq. phase was developed. The use of a gas-permeabl ...
A review with 55 refs. Oxygen is a key substrate in animal cell metab. It has been reported that the oxygen uptake rate (OUR) is a good indicator of cellular activity, and even under some conditions, a good indicator of the no. of viable cells. The measure ...
The hydrogen response of gas-sensitive field-effect devices is mainly due to trapping of atomic hydrogen on the insulator side of the metal-insulator interface of the metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure. Therefore an influence of the choice of in ...
