Several modifications of the direct current plasma jet have resulted in significantly enhanced analysis capabilities. Reducing the electrode angle, decreasing the aerosol chimney size, and operating in a diffuse mode with helium have provided improved stability, sensitivity, freedom from interferences, and detection limits. While the actual mechanism of the helium enhancement is not clear, no direct evidence was found which supports participation in the excitation step. Rather, improved desolvation, vaporization and possibly sample introduction result from the thermal conductivity of helium being much greater than that of argon.

ABSTRACTChemical vapor deposition techniques, in particular plasma enhanced CVD, have been used to produce high quality a-Si:H materials. Continuing research is directed toward increased device performance, improved stability, and translation of scale to commercial production. A part of this effort is the evaluation of alternate CVD techniques which in addition to providing technical options for high efficiency and long term stability are likely to lead to improved understanding of the relationships between deposition processes and material properties. A relatively new technique for depositing a-Si:H is photo-CVD which utilizes ultraviolet light to initiate the decomposition of silane or disilane. The best results from both materials properties and device efficiency points of view have been achieved using mercury sensitized photo-CVD. Recently, a 10.5% efficient a-Si:H p-i-n photovoltaic cell, fabricated by photo-CVD, was reported [1]. A limitation in photo-CVD has been preventing deposition on the UV transparent window. In this paper we describe a new photo-CVD reactor with a moveable UV-transparent Teflon film and secondary gas flows to eliminate window fouling. The deposition and opto-electronic characterization of intrinsic a-Si:H and a-SiGe:H and p-type a-SiC:H are described. Finally, preliminary results of p-i-n solar cells are presented.

The electrochemical properties of gadusol, a metabolite extracted from fish roes, were determined for the first time by cyclic- and square-wave voltammetries on a glassy carbon electrode in buffered aqueous solutions. The aims of the work were characterization of the redox behavior and assessment of the mechanism underlying the antioxidant capacity of the compound. Anodic waves with peak potentials of 710 ± 5 mV and 601 ± 9 mV vs. Ag/AgCl were obtained for gadusol and its anion gadusolate, respectively. The voltammograms point to the irreversible nature of the oxidation process and reveal better antioxidant properties for the compound under physiological pH, with a moderate reductive power, but improved stability under atmospheric oxidation in comparison with other natural antioxidants such as ascorbic acid. The presence of direct ionic micelles prepared with sodium dodecyl-sulfate or cetyl-trimethyl-ammonium chloride yielded no significant differences regarding homogeneous medium in the cyclic voltammetry of gadusolate. The results provide evidence of the electron transfer mechanism for the quenching reaction of standard-reactive species by gadusolate and support it as a promising candidate to be tested as an antioxidant additive to food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulas. The direct analysis of the metabolite in biological systems and natural extracts by electrochemical methods is also envisaged.
