In this research a colloidal alternative route to synthesize SnTe, and the influence of ammonium hydroxide into the Sn and Te phase formation at atmospheric conditions is reported. The obtained solutions at different ammonium concentration were analyzed through x-ray Diffraction to determine the structure and the SnTe phase. Meanwhile, Raman spectr...
The epitaxial growth of anatase (001) films deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on SrTiO3 (001) (STO) single crystals has been studied using X-ray diffraction and surface sensitivity UHV techniques. The evolution of the strain represented by the microstrain and the change of the in-plane and out-of-plane latt...
The evolution of a foam driven by the transfer of two gases of different solubilities across the soap films is studied. A bamboo foam, or a train of films, is used as a model system; it is made of a poorly soluble gas, and put into contact with a reservoir of a soluble gas at an initial time. The measurement of the time evolution of the volume of e...

This study presents an experimental investigation into the solar performance of copper oxide (CuO) thin films. These CuO films were fabricated using the spray pyrolysis technique, and their structural, morpholigical, optical, and electrical properties were examined in relation to the effect of layer thickness. Additionally, we employed SCAPS-1D sof...

Reflectins are a family of intrinsically disordered proteins involved in cephalopod camouflage, making them an interesting source for bioinspired optical materials. Understanding reflectin assembly into higher-order structures by standard biophysical methods enables the rational design of new materials, but it is difficult due to their low solubili...

Cadmium zinc sulfide (CdZnS) is a remarkable semiconducting material used as window layer in solar cells. Herein, the flower’s like microstructured CdZnS film is synthesized by powder vapor transport (PVT) technique. The structural parameters like lattice constant, various diffraction planes, crystallinity, preferential orientation factor and stand...

A novel manufacturing process is presented for producing nanopowders and thin films of CuCoO2 (CCO) material. This process utilizes three cost-effective synthesis methods: hydrothermal, sol-gel, and solid-state reactions. The resulting delafossite CuCoO2 samples were deposited onto transparent substrates through spray pyrolysis, forming innovative ...

Chitosan and polyethylene glycol (PEG-600) membranes were synthesized and crosslinked with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES). The main purpose of this research work is to synthesize RO membranes which can be used to provide desalinated water for drinking, industrial and agricultural purposes. Hydrogen bonding between chitosan and PEG was confirm...

The spectral properties of gap electroacoustic waves in a PT-symmetric structure of piezoelectrics of symmetry class 6 mm separated by a gap are theoretically investigated. The spectra were calculated for lead germanate (non-zero transverse piezoactivity) and barium titanate (symmetry class 4 mm—zero transverse piezoactivity). It has been establish...
Metal-organic frameworks (MOF) is an emerging class of crystalline and porous materials. Their structure results from the combination of metal clusters (or ions) with multitopic organic linkers. By changing the metal or the linker, or by adding organic functionalities to the linker, the physicochemical properties of the MOF can be tailored for spec...
