Tin Selenide

Nanocrystalline Copper doped Tin Selenide have been prepared by aqueous solution method in double distilled water at room temperature. All the chemicals used for this were of Analytical Reagent grade and of 99.999 % purity. Structural confirmation of prepared compound and particle size estimation was done from X-ray diffractogram obtained by CuKαradiation of wavelength 1.540 nm. Compositional or elemental analysis of this compound was done using energy dispersive analysis of X-rays (EDAX) and it is found that prepared compound is nearly stoichiometric in nature. Thermal characteristics of SnSeCu nanocrystals were studied employing thermoanalytical techniques, viz. TGA and DTA. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) has been used for many years to evaluate thermal stability of material as it will determine the range of stable operation for a device made up out of these materials under investigation. Thermal analysis experiments were carried out with constant heating rate of 10 °C/ min in air from room temperature to 900 °C. The DTA pattern of SnSeCu nanocrystal shows a strong endothermic peak at 450 °C. The objective of this study is to determine activation energy and other kinetic parameters of prepared compound. Broido and Coats-Redfern (C-R) models are used to evaluate different kinetic parameters viz. activation energy, entropy, enthalpy, Gibbs mean free energy and they were found to have good correlation coefficient.

Most of the applications of semiconductors involve either photon absorption to form free carriers (photodetectors or solar cells) or the formation of photons by free carrier recombination (light emittiing diodes or lasers). Both kinds of applications require high quality single crystals having desirable dimensions, devoid of defects, grain boundaries, or impurities that act as electron scatterers, traps and non radiative recombination centers. As a consequence of the requirement of high quality, fabrication and growth conditions for the semiconductors must be carefully controlled for most applications. Hence single crystals of GeSe were grown by Direct Vapor Transport (DVT) technique, in a two zone horizontal furnace with temperature difference of 50 K between growth and source zones. The material crystallizes in the form of shining gray and platelets like crystals at the end of growth cycles. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) has been used for many years to evaluate thermal stability of material as it will determine the range of stable operation for a device made up out of these materials under investigation. Thermal characteristics of GeSe crystals were studied employing thermoanalytical techniques, viz. TGA and DTA. Thermal analysis experiments were carried out with constant heating rate of 10 °C/ min in N2. The objective of this study is to determine activation energy and other kinetic parameters of GeSe crystals. Broido and Coats-Redfern (C-R) methods are used to evaluate different kinetic parameters of GeSe crystals viz. activation energy, entropy, enthalpy, Gibbs mean free energy etc.

The transformation of the synthesized allicin, using conventional method, the influence of ultrasound and microwaves, in different organic solvents (acetonitrile, acetone, methanol, and chloroform), at various temperatures (room temperature,45∘C, and55∘C) was investigated. Allicin degradation kinetic was monitored by HPLC. Allicin transformation under the effect of microwaves is faster than transformations performed under the influence of ultrasound or by conventional method. Increase of the temperature accelerates allicin transformation. Pharmacologically active compounds of (E)-ajoene, (Z)-ajoene, 3-vinyl-4H-1,2-dithiin, 2-vinyl-4H-1,3-dithiin, and diallyl disulfide were isolated from the mixture of transformation products of allicin under the influence of microwaves in methanol at55∘C, which is according to kinetic parameters (highest values of the order of reaction and the lowest activation energy) the optimal method.

The nature of the reaction and the main parameters affecting Ag precipitation rate in the system Ag<sup>+</sup>-CN<sup>-</sup>-S<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub><sup>2-</sup> are studied. From the results obtained, a process of chemical precipitation for Ag recovery is proposed, using an environmentally-friendly reducing reagent (sodium dithionite, Na<sub>2</sub>S<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>), leaving a residual content of Ag into the permitted environmental levels (-1 Ag). The levels of CN<sup>-</sup> in liquids wastes are of the order of 0.816 mol L<sup>-1</sup>, and they can be treated by ozonization processes for inerting cyanide. The results obtained indicate that Ag precipitation is achieved in less than 1 hour, with recoveries close to 99%, at room temperature. Silver precipitation is characterized by an induction period followed by a precipitation period, leaving a metal amount in solution less than 1 mg L<sup>-1</sup>. The main kinetic parameters studied lead to obtain the following apparent reaction orders: with respect to the initial [S<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub><sup>2-</sup>] was <em>n</em> = 1.675, with respect to [CN<sup>-</sup>] was -1.24, with respect to [OH<sup>-</sup>] was ≈0 (between 10<sup>-4</sup> and 10<sup>-2</sup> mol L<sup>-1</sup>) and with respect to the initial [Ag<sup>+</sup>] was 0.524. An activation energy of 77 kJ mol<sup>-1</sup> was obtained. Under these conditions, Ag precipitation in the system Ag<sup>+</sup>-CN<sup>-</sup>-S<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub><sup>2-</sup> is controlled by chemical reaction, characterized by high activation energy, and is independent of the hydrodynamic variables of the system.

It is often necessary to assess the effect of aging at room temperature over years/decades for hardware containing elastomeric components such as oring seals or shock isolators. In order to determine this effect, accelerated oven aging at elevated temperatures is pursued. When doing so, it is vital that the degradation mechanism still be representative of that prevalent at room temperature. This places an upper limit on the elevated oven temperature, which in turn, increases the dwell time in the oven. As a result, the oven dwell time can run into months, if not years, something that is not realistically feasible due to resource/schedule constraints in industry. Measuring activation energy (Ea) of elastomer aging by test methods such as tensile strength or elongation, compression set, modulus, oxygen consumption, etc. is expensive and time consuming. Use of kinetics of weight loss by ThermoGravimetric Analysis (TGA) using the Ozawa/Flynn/Wall method per ASTM E1641 is an attractive option (especially due to the availability of commercial instrumentation with software to make the required measurements and calculations) and is widely used. There is no fundamental scientific reason why the kinetics of weight loss at elevated temperatures should correlate to the kinetics of loss of mechanical properties over years/decades at room temperature. Ea obtained by high temperature weight loss is almost always significantly higher than that obtained by measurements of mechanical properties or oxygen consumption over extended periods at much lower temperatures. In this paper, data on five different elastomer types (butyl, nitrile, EPDM, polychloroprene and fluorocarbon) are presented to prove that point. Thus, use of Ea determined by weight loss by TGA tends to give unrealistically high values, which in turn, will lead to incorrectly high predictions of storage life at room temperature.

Wood has been treated with amino resins and amino resins modified with phosphoric acid to impart flame retardancy. The thermal degradation of samples has been studied by thermogravimetry (TG) in air. From the resulting data, kinetic parameters for different stages of thermal degradation are obtained following the method of Broido. For the decomposition of wood and flame retardant wood, the activation energy is found to decrease from 122 to 72 kJmol-1.

AbstractCa2Nd4Ti6O20, a layered perov skite structured material was synthesized via a chemical (citrate sol-gel) route for the first time using nitrates and alkoxide precursors. Phase analysis of a sample sintered at 1625 °C revealed the formation of an orthorhombic (Pbn21) symmetry. The microstructure of the sample after sintering comprised rod-shaped grains of a size of 1.5 to 6.5µm. The room temperature dielectric constant of the sintered sample was 38 at 100 kHz. The remnant polarization (Pr) and the coercive field (Ec) were about 400 μC/cm2 and 8.4 kV/cm, respectively. Impedance spectroscopy revealed that the capacitance (13.7 pF) and activation energy (1.39 eV) of the grain boundary was greater than the capacitance (5.7 pF) and activation energy (1.13 eV) of the grain.

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was employed to study the pyrolysis characteristics of four glucose-based and three fructose-based carbohydrates. Kinetic parameters were calculated based on the experiment data. The results indicated that the starting and maximal pyrolysis temperatures of the glucose-based carbohydrates were increased steadily as the rising of their degree of polymerization (DP). The fructose-based carbohydrates exhibited similar pyrolysis behaviors as the glucose-based carbohydrates, but the difference was smaller. Kinetic calculations revealed that the activation energy values of the glucose-based carbohydrates were higher than those of the fructose-based carbohydrates, indicating the glucose-based carbohydrates were more difficult to decompose than the fructose-based carbohydrates.

The electrical activation of 1×1020cm-3implanted Al in 4H-SiC has been studied in the temperature range 1500 - 1950 °C by the analysis of the sheet resistance of the Al implanted layers, as measured at room temperature. The minimum annealing time for reaching stationary electrical at fixed annealing temperature has been found. The samples with stationary electrical activation have been used to estimate the thermal activation energy for the electrical activation of the implanted Al.
