Heterogeneous Target Assignment to Robotic Fiber Positioner Systems

Denis Gillet, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Matin Macktoobian

The target assignment methods applied to robotic fiber positioners are only applicable to homogeneous sets of targets to be observed. However, different batches of robotic fiber positioners available at the focal plane of a telescope can be simultaneously ...

Duality in the Mechanism of Hexagonal ZnO/CuxO Nanowires Inducing Sulfamethazine Degradation under Solar or Visible Light

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi

This study presents the first evidence for the photocatalytic performance of ZnO/CuxO hexagonal nanowires leading to sulfamethazine (SMT) degradation. The chemical composition of the nanowires was determined by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The sample with the ...

Evidence for a dual mechanism in the TiO2/CuxO photocatalyst during the degradation of sulfamethazine under solar or visible light: Critical issues

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi

This study presents the photocatalytic degradation of sulfamethazine (SMT) on TiO2/CuxO nanotubes (NTs) by a differentiated mechanism under low intensity solar light and indoor visible light irradiation. In the presence of TiO2/CuxO nanotubes, the SMT-degr ...
