Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleXPS Studies of the SiO2 Substrates and Thermoelectric Thin Films of Sn/Sn+SnO2 under the Effects of the Different Thermal TreatmentsRichard Lagle, Stephen Egarievwe, Satilmis Budak, Mebougna DraboMultilayered thermoelectric Sn/Sn+SnO2 thin films were prepared using KJL DC/RF magnetron sputtering system under Ar gas plasma on the SiO2 substrates. The thicknesses of the fabricated thin films were found using Filmetrics UV thickness measurement system. The fabricated thin films were annealed at different temperatures for one hour to tailor the thermoelectric properties. In this study, unannealed, annealed at 150 … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 9 Jan 2021 · 8,209 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCharacterization of Boron Carbonitride (BCN) Thin Films Deposited by Radiofrequency and Microwave Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor DepositionM.A. Mannan, M. Nagano, K. Shigezumi et al.Boron carbonitride (BCN) thin films with a thickness of ~4 µm were synthesized on Si (100) substrate by radiofrequency and microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition using trimethylamine borane [(CH3)3N.BH3)] as a molecular precursor. The microstructures of the films were evaluated using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,371 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Ionizing Radiation Sensors Based on Carbon NanotubesKenneth Fontánez, Abraham García, María del C Cotto-Maldonado et al.SWNTs have been efficiently grown on patterned substrates, for its subsequent application to the development of ionizing radiation sensors. SWNTs before and after exposure to X-rays were characterized by Raman and XPS spectroscopy, revealing the appearance of alterations that have been justified as possibly due to the presence of adsorbed oxygen species. These materials have been used for the fabrication … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 29 May 2019 · 7,191 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Styrofoam Waste Feeds on the Growth, Development and Fecundity of Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor)Nismah Nukmal, Suratman Umar, Sheila Puspita Amanda, Mohammad KanediIt has been reported that Styrofoam can be biodegraded by Tenebrio molitor beetle larvae within a retention time of less than 24 h and the larvae fed solely with Styrofoam able to survive for more than a month. The question is whether Styrofoam can be used as an economical feed in the cultivation of mealworms? To determine productivity effect of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 1 Jan 2018 · 11,249 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Characterization of Marine Clay-Supported Nano Zero Valent IronHo Kuok How, Wan Zuhairi Wan YaacobThis study reports the preparation and characterization of marine clay nano zero valent iron (MC+nZVI) where marine clay acts as the composite material. Marine clay was air dried and pulverized before used. Basically, MC+nZVI was synthesized by chemical reduction method. The materials synthesized were left oven dried overnight at 50°C. The obtained materials were characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 Jun 2015 · 7,124 accessesView PDF Cite
