The work is focused on thin film technologies especially on sputtering of dielectric thin film layers. The set of thin film capacitors was created on silica glass substrate. Aluminum electrodes of separated capacitors are deposited by method of vacuum evaporation. The AlN dielectric layer was prepared by reactive high frequency sputtering from aluminum target in nitrogen atmosphere. Dielectric ...

We describe a method for determining fluoride with ion-selective electrodes (ISEs). Tartrate and Tris-based total ionic strength adjustment buffers (TISABs) were found to lower the interference from aluminum to a greater extent than conventional citrate-based TISABs. We adopted a solid TISAB addition method that is simple to perform, and can be carried out without lowering the level of fluoride...

A self-consistent method for calculating electron transport through a molecular device is developed. It is based on density functional theory electronic structure calculations under periodic boundary conditions and implemented in the framework of the nonequilibrium Green function approach. To avoid the substantial computational cost in finding the I-V characteristic of large systems, we also de...

Carbon monofluoride (CFx) has a high energy density, exceeding 2000 W h kg(-1), yet its application in primary lithium batteries is limited by its power capability. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are appealing additives for high-power batteries, due to their outstanding electronic transport properties, high aspect ratio necessitating low volume fraction for percolation, and high tensile s...

The electrocoagulation (EC) process is an efficient and low-cost system for the purification of wastewater. aim this work was to investigate efficiency two types aluminum (Al) electrodes (Al alloy pure Al electrodes) treatment synthetic semi-skimmed milk Turbidity, chemical oxygen demand (COD), concentration species were monitored during experiments. effect various parameters, such as current d...

Background & objectives: Nitrate contamination of drinking water is a common problem in many parts of the world that poses a serious threat to public health and environment. In this research, the performance of a new rotary electrocoagulation reactor model for removal of nitrate in presence or absence of turbidity has been investigated. Methods: In this study, aluminum and iron electrodes were...

The local electrochemical properties of galvanic corrosion for three coupled metals in a desalination plant were investigated with three wire-beam electrodes as wire sensors: aluminum brass (HAl77-2), titanium (TA2), and 316L stainless steel (316L SS). These electrodes were used with artificial seawater at different temperatures. The potential and current-density distributions of the three-meta...
