We have fabricated ZnS, ZnSe and mixed Zn(S,Se) thin film layers for application as solar cell absorbers in ultraviolet (UV)-selective cells. the using a two-step process involving evaporation of Zn layer followed by an anneal H2S and/or H2Se containing atmosphere. A study annealing conditions was performed to minimize hole formation layer. Sulfur Selenium also developed order reach 3 eV band g...

The effect of increasing soil Zn concentrations on growth and Zn tissue concentrations of a metalaccumulating aspen clone was examined in a dose–response study. Plants were grown in a soil with a low native Zn content which was spiked with Zn salt solutions and subsequently aged. Plant growth was not affected by NH4NO3-extractable soil Zn concentrations up to 60 mg Zn g 1 soil, but it was compl...

Functionalized Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs) which are modified using nitric acid and sulfuric acid were evaluated to synthesize a uniform nanocomposite via application of TiO2. The f-MWCNTs-TiO2 nanocomposites have been produced via using the chemical simple two-step method. To characterize the structural analysis, scanning electron microscopy...

This research was conducted in order to study the effects of iron fertilization on yield and chemical composition of date palm var. 'Piarom', on 54 trees in Haji-Abad research station of Hormozgan Province. Trees were 12 years old and research treatments were consisted of: 1-Control treatment 2- Soil surface application of Fe in two levels 3-Application of Fe as localized placement method (Chal...

The application of biofertilizers constitutes one of the main components of nutrient management with a fundamental role in sustainable agriculture and the improvement of plant qualitative traits. The present research assessed the effect of various treatments of phosphate solubilizing bacteria including Pantoea agglomerans strain P5 and Pseudomonas putida</...

This research was conducted to assess the potential of hyperspectral indices to detect iron deficiency in capital-intensive multi-annual crop systems. A well-defined hyperspectral multi-layer dataset was constructed for a peach orchard in Zaragoza, Spain, consisting of hyperspectral measurements at various monitoring levels (leaf, crown, airborne). Trees were subjected to four different treatme...
