The properties of 18 K red gold solder alloys were investigated by changing the content of In up to 10.0 wt% in order to replace the hazardous Cd element. Cupellation and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were used to check the composition of each alloy, and FE-SEM and UV-VIS-NIR-Colormeter were employed for microstructure and color characterization. The melting temperature, hardness, and wetting angle of the samples were determined by TGA-DTA, the Vickers hardness tester, and the Wetting angle tester. The cupellation result confirmed that all the samples had 18K above 75.0wt%-Au. EDS results showed that Cu and In elements were alloyed with the intended composition without segregation. The microstructure results showed that the amount of In increased, and the grain size became smaller. The color analysis revealed that the proposed solders up to 10.0 wt% In showed a color similar to the reference 18 K substrate like the 10.0 wt% Cd solder with a color difference of less than 7.50. TGA-DTA results confirmed that when more than 5.0 wt% of In was added, the melting temperature decreased enough for the soldering process. The Vickers hardness result revealed that more than 5.0 wt% In solder alloys had greater hardness than 10.0 wt% Cd solder, which suggested that it was more favorable in making a wire type solder. Moreover, all the In solders showed a lower wetting angle than the 10.0 wt% Cd solder. Our results suggested that the In alloyed 18 K red gold solders might replace the conventional 10.0 wt% Cd solder with appropriate properties for red gold jewelry soldering.

Doping or incorporation with exotic elements are two manners to regulate the optoelectronic properties of transparent conducting (TCO) cadmium oxide (CdO). Nevertheless, the method of doping host CdO by CdTe semiconductor is of high importance. The structural, optical, and electrical properties of CdTe-doped CdO films are studied for the sake of promoting their conducting parameters (CPs), including their conductivity, carrier concentration, and carrier mobility, along with transparency in the NIR spectral region; these are then compared with the influence of doping the host CdO by pure Te ions. X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical absorption spectroscopy, and electrical measurements are used to characterise the deposited films prepared by thermal evaporation. Numerous results are presented and discussed in this work; among these results, the optical properties are studied through a merging of concurrent BGN (redshift) and BGW (blue shift) effects as a consequence of doping processes. The impact of hydrogenation on the characterisations of the prepared films is investigated; it has no qualitative effect on the crystalline structure. However, it is found that TCO-CPs are improved by the process of CdTe doping followed by hydrogenation. The utmost TCO-CP improvements are found with host CdO film including ~ 1 %Te, in which the resistivity decreases by ~ 750 %, carrier concentration increases by 355 %, and mobility increases by ~ 90 % due to the increase of N_carr. The improvement of TCO-CPs by hydrogenation is attributed to the creation of O-vacancies because of H₂ molecule dissociation in the presence of Te ions. These results reflect the potential of using semiconductor CdTe -doped CdO thin films in TCO applications. Nevertheless, improvements of the host CdO CPs with CdTe dopant are of a lesser degree compared with the case of doping the host CdO with pure Te ions.

The light absorbance of photocatalysts and reaction kinetics of environmental pollutants at the liquid-solid and gas-solid interfaces differ from each other. Nevertheless, many previous photocatalytic studies have applied the science to aqueopus applications without due consideration of the environment. As such, this work reports the surface and morphological characteristics and photocatalytic activities of carbon-embedded (C-$TiO_2$) photocatalysts for control of gas-phase methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) under a range of different operational conditions. The C-$TiO_2$ photocatalysts were prepared by oxidizing titanium carbide powders at $350^{\circ}C$. The characteristics of the C-$TiO_2$ photocatalysts, along with pure TiC and the reference pure $TiO_2$, were then determined by X-ray diffraction, scanning emission microscope, diffuse reflectance ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV-VIS-NIR), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The C-$TiO_2$ powders showed a clear shift in the absorbance spectrum towards the visible region, which indicated that the C-$TiO_2$ photocatalyst could be activated effectively by visible-light irradiation. The MTBE decomposition efficiency depended on operational parameters, including the air flow rate (AFR), input concentration (IC), and relative humidity (RH). As the AFRs decreased from 1.5 to 0.1 L/min, the average efficiencies for MTBE increased from 11% to 77%. The average decomposition efficiencies for the ICs of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 ppm were 77%, 77%, 54%, and 38%, respectively. In addition, the decomposition efficiencies for RHs of 20%, 45%, 70%, and 95% were 92%, 76%, 50%, and 32%, respectively. These findings indicate that the prepared photocatalysts could be effectively applied to control airborne MTBE if their operational conditions were optimized.

The photovoltaic properties of $TiO_2$ used for the electron transport layer in perovskite solar cells(PSCs) are compared according to the particle size. The PSCs are fabricated and prepared by employing 20 nm and 30 nm $TiO_2$ as well as a 1:1 mixture of these particles. To analyze the microstructure and pores of each $TiO_2$ layer, a field emission scanning electron microscope and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) method are used. The absorbance and photovoltaic characteristic of the PSC device are examined over time using ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared spectroscopy and a solar simulator. The microstructural analysis shows that the $TiO_2$ shape and layer thicknesses are all similar, and the BET analysis results demonstrate that the size of $TiO_2$ and in surface pore size is very small. The results of the photovoltaic characterization show that the mean absorbance is similar, in a range of about 400-800 nm. However, the device employing 30 nm $TiO_2$ demonstrates the highest energy conversion efficiency(ECE) of 15.07 %. Furthermore, it is determined that all the ECEs decrease over time for the devices employing the respective types of $TiO_2$. Such differences in ECE based on particle size are due to differences in fill factor, which changes because of changes in interfacial resistance during electron movement owing to differences in the $TiO_2$ particle size, which is explained by a one-dimensional model of the electron path through various $TiO_2$ particles.

We examined the microstructure and optical properties of crystallized ~30 nm-ZnO/~10 nm amorphous $TiO_2$ nano bilayered films as nano electrodes were deposited at extremely low substrate temperatures of $150-210^{\circ}C$. The bilayered films were deposited on silicon substrates with 10 cm diameters by ALD (atomic layer deposition) using DEZn (diethyl zinc(Zn(C2H5)2)) and TDMAT (tetrakis dimethyl-amid $titanium(Ti(N(CH_3)_2)_4)$ as the ZnO and $TiO_2$ precursors, respectively, and $H_2O$ as the oxidant. The microstructure, phase, and optical properties of the bilayered films were examined by FE-SEM, TEM, XRD, AES, and UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy. FE-SEM and TEM showed that all bilayered films were deposited very uniformly and showed crystallized ZnO and amorphous $TiO_2$ layers. AES depth profiling showed that the ZnO and $TiO_2$ films had a stoichiometric composition of 1:1 and 1:2, respectively. These bilayered films have optical absorption properties in a wide range of ultraviolet wavelengths, 250-390 nm, whereas the single ZnO and $TiO_2$ films showed an absorption range of 350-380nm.

Fats and molasses are used, at the present time, in a considerable proportion as ingredients for the animal feed industry. They are mainly used as energy sources, but also they provide other characteristics of technological and nutritional interest (dust reduction, increase in palatability, etc). Both semi-liquid ingredients have numerous aspects in common from the point of view of their use in livestock feeds, as well as of their analytical control. Feed manufacturers use several criteria to evaluate the quality of fat and molasses. Furthermore, the traditional methods currently used, for their evaluation (eg. fatty acids, sugars, etc) are expensive and more sophisticated that the traditionally used for solid ingredients. The objective of the present work is to carry out a viability study to evaluate the ability of NIRS technology for the quality control of fat and molasses. Samples of liquid molasses (n = 42) and liquid fat ( n = 61), provided by a feed manufacturer, were scanned in a FOSS-NIR Systems 6500 monochromator equipped with a spinning module. The samples were analysed by folded transmission, using a sample cup of 0.1mm pathlength and gold surface reflector. For molasses, calibration equations were developed for the prediction of moisture (SECV=1.69%; $r^2$=0, 42), gross protein (SECV=0, 14%; $r^2$=0, 99), ashy (SECV=0, 60%; $r^2$=0, 84), NaCl (SECV=0, 05%; $r^2$=0, 99) and sugars (SECV=1, 04%; $r^2$=0, 86). For animal fats calibrations were obtained for the prediction of moisture (SECV=0, 14%, $r^2$=0, 88), acidity index (SECV=0, 83%, $r^2$=0, 82), MIU (SECV=0, 38%, $r^2$=0, 94) and unsaponifiables (SECV=0, 45%, $r^2$=0, 87). High accuracy calibration equations were also obtained for the prediction of the fatty acid profile. The equations have $r^2$values around 0.9 or highest. The results showed that NIRS technology could provide rapid and accurate results and reduce analytical costs associated to the quality control of two Important feed ingredients of a well known chemical variability.

During two consecutive years, it was developed global calibrations for the prediction of fatty acids on Iberian pig fat. These equations should analyse well samples of that animal fat because of their high accuracy (SECV/sub C16:0/ = 0.26%; SECV/sub C18:0/ = 0.28%; SECV/sub C18:1/ = 0.26%; SECV/sub C18:2/ = 0.15%) and their broad covering composition range. In some cases, when new samples are predicted H (Mahalanobis distance) values higher than 3 (recommended value for agricultural products by the ISI software) are obtained. However, there are not any obvious factors which tells that samples scanned are very different to the spectral mean of the calibration population. Furthermore, these samples are well predicted according to the SEP values. The objective of the present work is to deepen the understanding of the H statistic when analysing animal fats. Three different validation files were predicted with equations obtained from January '97 to April '98. The Set A has spectra of 20 samples not included on the calibration file and scanned in May of 1998. The Set B has spectra of 20 samples included on the calibration file and scanned again in November '99. The Set C contains 150 spectra of one sample representative of the mean values (for fatty acids composition) of the calibration file. This sample was analysed three times per week during June '99 to July '00. The H mean values for the Set A, Set B and Set C were respectively 1.35, 14.39 and 11.71. These anomalous values for the Set B and C make not sense because Set B contains replicate subsamples of the same samples scanned during calibration development and Set C only contains spectra of one sample which represent the mean spectrum of the calibration files. Results will be shown to demonstrate that small day to day variations are responsible of the high H values. When a PCA and LIB file are created with calibration samples and spectra of the Set C modelling day to day variations, the H values for Set A, Set B and Set C were respectively 1.83, 2.16 and 0.93.
