GeSn alloys are metastable semiconductors that have been proposed as building blocks for silicon-integrated shortwave and midwave infrared photonic sensing platforms. Exploiting these requires, however, the control of their epitaxy surface chemistry to reduce nonradiative recombination hinders efficiency optoelectronic devices. Herein, we demonstrate combined sulfur- iodine-based treatments yie...

Reduction of acrylamide formation in potato chips was investigated in relation to ten pretreatments before frying. Potato slices were fried at 170 C for 5 min. Prior to frying, potato slices were soaked in one of the following solutions for 60min : (1) tap water ; (2-4) NaCl solutions (1%, 2% and 3%); (5-7) citric acid solutions (0.5 %, 1 % and 2%); (8) combined solution (NaCl 3% +0.5% citric a...

A Moroccan bentonite was activated by sodium carbonate (Na–Be), and a combined chemical thermal activation (Na–Be450). The materials characterization performed XRD, EDS, FTIR, SEM porosity measurements. efficiency of Na–Be Na–Be450 as low-cost adsorbents to remove nickel silver from aqueous solution checked. Langmuir, Freundlich Langmuir-Freundlich models were used for the analysis equilibrium ...
