The effect of deposition power on the electrical properties of Al-doped zinc oxide thin films

We investigated the effect on the electronic properties of aluminum (Al)-zinc oxide (ZnO) films by modulating the radio frequency sputtering power. Our experimental results show that increasing the sputtering power increases the Al doping concentration, de ...

Structure-reactivity relations for DC-magnetron sputtered Cu-layers during E. coli inactivation in the dark and under light

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Rosendo Sanjines

This study addresses unreported features for Cu DC-magnetron sputtering on cotton mediating inactivation of Escherichia coil K12 (from now on E. coil). In-depth profile for the different Cu-species inside the cotton fibers was determined by 5 key Ar+ etchi ...

Electrophoretic deposition of functionalized polystyrene particles for TiO2 multi-scale structured surfaces

Stefano Mischler, Johann Michler

Titanium is an interesting material for biomedical implants thanks to its physical and chemical properties. In particular, TiO2 coatings with a surface characterized by micro-patterning combined with nano-topography are extremely attractive for orthopaedic ...

Experimental Evidence of Hydroacoustic Pressure Waves in a Francis Turbine Elbow Draft Tube for Low Discharge Conditions

François Avellan, Christophe Nicolet

The complex three-dimensional unsteady flow developing in the draft tube of a Francis turbine is responsible for pressure fluctuations, which could prevent the whole hydropower plant from operating safely. Indeed, the Francis draft tube is subjected to inl ...

Modulation of electron transport during Swing ECCD discharges in TCV

Olivier Sauter, Timothy Goodman, Stefano Alberti, Costanza Zucca

Generation of a swing electron cyclotron current drive (swing ECCD), i.e. driving alternated, symmetric, positive or negative local ECCD, during a single discharge and at constant total input EC power, was performed at the Tokamak a Configuration Variable ...

The impact of divertor detachment on carbon sources in JET L-mode discharges

Richard Pitts

Hydrocarbon injection experiments have been performed to investigate the chemical sputtering yield of carbon-fibre composites at elevated temperatures (T-surface similar or equal to 500 K) and detached plasma conditions in the JET outer divertor. A plasma ...

Reliability of rf mems capacitive switches and distributed mems phase shifters using aln dielectric

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Montserrat Fernandez-Bolanos Badia, Dimitrios Tsamados

The reliability and charging/discharging dynamics of wideband (1.5-14GHz) phase shifters made of MEMS capacitive switches using Aluminum Nitride (AlN) as dielectric are originally reported. Phase shifter lifetimes exceeding 109 cycles are achieved in hot-c ...

Photocatalytic decomposition of acetone over dc-magnetron sputtering supported vanadia/TiO2 catalysts

Two series of titania-based photocatalysts were prepared by the sputtering method, in pure Ar atmosphere at a pressure of 0.5 Pa using a vanadium target source in a direct dc mode with a discharge of 300 V. The time of deposition was varied between 1 and 1 ...

Nonlinear storage-discharge relations and catchment streamflow regimes

Andrea Rinaldo, Gianluca Botter

Nonlinear storage-discharge relations may explain important hydrologic features frequently observed under a variety of environmental conditions. In this paper the catchment dynamic storage problem is addressed by incorporating nonlinear storage-discharge r ...
