Abstract
Se presenta un estudio de la evolucion de las caracteristicas de los espectros de FTIR y la respuesta de fotoluminiscencia (PL) en peliculas de silicio poroso (PSL) oxidadas quimicamente y envejecidas en condiciones controladas. Las PSL se obtuvieron por el metodo electroquimico para obtener buena uniformidad en grandes areas. Las mediciones de FTIR en las PSL recien preparadas manifiestan bandas de siliciohidrogeno asociadas con la terminacion en hidrogeno de superficie de silicio poroso justo despues del proceso de porificacion. Al oxidar las peliculas, los distintos modos de vibracion se modifican. Esos modos de vibracion se relacionan con los defectos en el oxido de silicio que recubre la superficie del silicio poroso. Los espectros de PL en muestras recien preparadas presentan un maximo en ~700 nm. El espectro de PL en las PSL oxidadas quimicamente y luego envejecidas, en condicion de vapor de agua saturado, se modifica fuertemente con respecto a las muestras recien obtenidas. Estas variaciones estan asociadas con los cambios en la estructura de las PSL inducidos por los procesos de oxidacion. Los datos de FTIR y el comportamiento de la senal de PL nos permiten relacionar estas senales con los efectos de cuantizacion por pequenas dimensiones e indicar que las transiciones a altas energias las produce algun centro de defecto en la pelicula de oxido de silicio que se forma en su superficie. Las caracteristicas de las PSL reportadas en este trabajo son perfectamente reproducibles en las condiciones que se utilizaron para prepararlas; por ello, las peliculas pueden usarse en distintas aplicaciones.

Production and characterization of Lemna minor bio-char and its catalytic application for biogas reforming

TL;DR: In this article, the yield of bio-char was determined as a function of L. minor pyrolysis temperature and sweep gas flow rate, and the changes in the reaction conditions (temperature and sweepgas flow rate) did not alter markedly the textural characteristics and BET surface area of the biochar produced.

Endothelial cell responses in terms of adhesion, proliferation, and morphology to stiffness of polydimethylsiloxane elastomer substrates.

TL;DR: This study concludes that the addition of different Al2 O3 percentages to PDMS elevated substrate stiffness which in turn increased endothelial cell adhesion and proliferation significantly and induced spindle shape morphology in endothelial cells.
