This preliminary study focused on the effect of exposure to 0.5 T static magnetic fields on Escherichia coli adhesion and orientation. We investigated the difference in bacterial adhesion on the surface of glass and indium tin oxide-coated glass when exposed to a magnetic field either perpendicular or parallel to the adhesion surface (vectors of magnetic induction are perpendicular or parallel to the adhesion surface, respectively). Control cultures were simultaneously grown under identical conditions but without exposure to the magnetic field. We observed a decrease in cell adhesion after exposure to the magnetic field. Orientation of bacteria cells was affected after exposure to a parallel magnetic field. On the other hand, no effect on the orientation of bacteria cells was observed after exposure to a perpendicular magnetic field.

Mechanical properties of materials are enhanced by different methods to increase the usage of the materials. In this research spray pyrolysis method is employed to increase the mechanical characteristics of three different materials. The tin oxide is chosen as coated material and aluminium, brass, mild steel are selected as substrate materials. The 500nm thin film is developed over the substrate materials by spray pyrolysis. The substrate temperature are chosen as 300? C for aluminium, 400? C for brass and mildsteel. Nozzle to substrate distance is 0.4 m, substrate temperature is 300? C for aluminium and 400? C for solution concentration as 0.2 mole and solution flow rate is 1ml/min are selected for constant deposition parameters. The hardness and tensile strength result clearly shows that strength is increased by adding the coating over the surface. The material is heated above crystallization temperature and SnO2 increases the tensile and hardness strength of the materials. The triangular metrological microscope is used to examine the microstructure of non coated and coated substrate materials. The microstructural analysis is showed that the uncoated surface of the substrate material is full of rough and pores. And displays that the tin oxide coated surface of the substrates after the initial deposition disclosed a surface with a agglomeration of tin oxide in homogeneous and uniform than the uncoated substrates.

Fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) films were successfully prepared on glass and quartz substrate at a substrate temperature equal to 450 °C for different fluorine doping (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15) by a homemade spray pyrolysis technique. The spray solution prepared from tin tetrachloride pentahydrate (SnCl4 · 5H2O) dissolved in distilled water at (0.1 M) concentration and ammonium fluoride (NH4F) was added into the solution for fluorine doping. X-ray diffraction patterns of the spray-deposited (SnO2: F) films for different fluorine doping show that all the diffractograms contain the characteristic SnO2 orientations. The matching of the observed and standard d-values confirm that the deposited films are of tin oxide with tetragonal structure and the films are polycrystalline with (110) as a preferred growth orientation. The surface morphology of SnO2: F thin film has been examined by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The average transmittance in the visible region (at 550 nm) has been found (40%, 47%, 52%, 59%, 61%) for the fluorine doping (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2) respectively.

Transparent conducting Cobalt-fluorine co-doped tin oxide (SnO2: (Co, F)) thin filmswere deposited onto preheated glass substrates using the chemical spray pyrolysis method. The ([Co2+]/[Sn4+]) atomic concentration ratio (y)in the spray solution was varied between 0 and 5 at. %. The structural, electrical, optical and photoluminescence properties of these films were studied. It is found that the thin films are polycrystalline with a tetragonal crystal structure corresponding to SnO2 phase having a preferred orientation along the (200) plane. Transmission and reflection spectra reveal the presence of interference fringes indicating thickness uniformity and surface homogeneity of the deposited thin films. The electrical resistivity (ρ), volume carrier concentration density (Nv), surface carrier concentration density (Ns) and Hall mobility (μ) of the synthesized thin films were determined from the Hall Effect measurements in the Van der Paw-configuration and the following results were obtained: n-type conductivity in all deposited films, a low resistivity of 1.16×10-2 Ω.cm, and a high Hall mobility of 15.13×102 cm2.V-1.s-1with Co concentration equals to 3 at. %. These results show that the electrical properties of these thin films where greatly improved making them suitable as ohmic contact in photovoltaic application devices.
