Spark discharge synthesis of semiconductor nanoparticles for thick-film metal oxide gas sensors

Thomas Maeder

Traditional methods of synthesis of metal-oxide gas sensing materials for semiconductor sensors are based on wet sol-gel processes. However, these processes lead to the formation of hydroxyl groups on the surface of oxide particles being responsible for th ...

Retrieval of water vapor mixing ratio from a multiple channel Raman-scatter lidar using an optimal estimation method

Lidar measurements of the atmospheric water vapor mixing ratio provide an excellent complement to radiosoundings and passive, ground-based remote sensors. Lidars are now routinely used that can make high spatial-temporal resolution measurements of water va ...

Aircraft-measured indirect cloud effects from biomass burning smoke in the Arctic and subarctic

Athanasios Nenes

The incidence of wildfires in the Arctic and subarctic is increasing; in boreal North America, for example, the burned area is expected to increase by 200-300g% over the next 50-100 years, which previous studies suggest could have a large effect on cloud m ...

Biomass-burning impact on CCN number, hygroscopicity and cloud formation during summertime in the eastern Mediterranean

Athanasios Nenes

This study investigates the concentration, cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity and hygroscopic properties of particles influenced by biomass burning in the eastern Mediterranean and their impacts on cloud droplet formation. Air masses sampled were sub ...

Nanoporous Materials Can Tune the Critical Point of a Pure Substance

Berend Smit, Efrem Daniel Braun, Sondre Kvalvag Schnell

Molecular simulations and NMR relaxometry experiments demonstrate that pure benzene or xylene confined in isoreticular metal-organic frameworks (IRMOFs) exhibit true vapor-liquid phase equilibria where the effective critical point may be reduced by tuning ...

Solvation quantities from a COSMO-RS equation of state

Vassily Hatzimanikatis

This work focuses on the extension of the successful COSMO-RS model of mixtures into an equation-of-state model of fluids and its application for the estimation of solvation/hydration quantities of a variety of chemical substances. These quantities include ...

Interfacing dielectric elastomer actuators with liquids

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Alexandre Poulin, Luc Maffli

Methods and materials for liquid encapsulation in thin (19 μm) silicone membranes are presented in this work. A set of 12 liquids including solvents, oils, silicone pre-polymers and one ionic liquid are experimentally tested. We show that all selected liqu ...
