Structural, electrical and magnetic characterization of in-situ crystallized ZnO:Co thin films synthesized by reactive magnetron sputtering

Zn1-xCoxO (0 < x < 0.146) conductive thin films have been deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering of metallic Zn and Co targets at high pressure and temperature. The structural properties have been investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray ...

Closing the pressure gap in x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy by membrane hydrogenation

Andreas Züttel

Comprehensive studies of gas-solid reactions require the in-situ interaction of the gas at a pressure beyond the operating pressure of ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The recent progress of near ambient pressure XPS allows to ...

Facile synthesis of efficient visible active C-doped TiO2 nanomaterials with high surface area for the simultaneous removal of phenol and Cr(VI)

Nicolas Xanthopoulos

A single step synthesis of carbon doped TiO2 (anatase) nanomaterials have been reported by using combustion synthesis using ascorbic acid and citric acid fuels. X-ray diffraction studies indicated the formation of nanosized anatase titania, whereas, transm ...

Adsorption of BSA on Passivated CoCrMo PVD Alloy: An EQCM and XPS Investigation

Stefano Mischler, Anna Neus Igual Muñoz

Adsorption of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) on an anodically passivated CoCrMo biomedical alloy has been studied using the Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Microbalance (EQCM) in phosphate buffer solution at 37 degrees C. CoCrMo layers were deposited on the qua ...

Innovative transparent non-scattering TiO2 bactericide thin films inducing increased E. coli cell wall fluidity

Juan Kiwi, Lioubov Kiwi, Andrzej Kulik, César Pulgarin, Rosendo Sanjines, Sami Rtimi, Mariusz Andrzejczuk

This study presents the first account for transparent, non-scattering TiO2 films on radio-frequency (RF) plasma and ultraviolet light in the C-spectral region (UVC) pretreated polyethylene (PE). These pretreatments allow the PE to bind higher amounts of Ti ...
