XRD analysis revealed a hexagonal structure with an average crystallite size of 22 nm for ZnO. Indentation nano measurements indicated an increase in the hardness of the films examined. To determine the type of conductivity and estimate the charge carrier density, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and Mott-Schottky analysis were performed. The thin film deposited for 9 minutes was found to be the most effective in improving corrosion resistance.","PeriodicalId":207412,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana de Física","volume":"70 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141051691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The wettability of materials is critical in the coating, lubricating, and insulating industries. In high-tech industries including corrosion resistance, water-oil separation, medical material production, implant technology, and friction reduction, the contact angle is very important. A new method called the full angle method was used to measure the contact angle and compared with current methods. The wettability behavior of plexiglass, which is employed in a variety of applications ranging from lighting to decorating, and industrial designs to accessory production, was explored in this study. The measurement of the contact angle was done by dropping 1.8 M (molar) of saltwater over the plexiglass materials. In order to examine the effect of evaporation on the contact angle, changes in contact angle, height and baseline were investigated depending on the waiting time.

Using a trial wave function in the effective mass approximation, we carried out calculations for a range of binding energies of hydrogenic (dielectric constant) and non-hydrogenic (spatial dielectric functions) donors for various applied uniaxial stress and for different uniaxial lengths of the quantum dot. Our results show that, for a constant axial length of the quantum dot and constant uniaxial stress, the DOIS for the donor impurity is markedly enhanced for the non-hydrogenic donor impurity over that for purely hydrogenic donor impurity. At constant axial length, the applied uniaxial stress enhances the DOIS in both cases. The density of impurity states has also been studied for a constant applied uniaxial stress for different axial lengths of the quantum dot. Here, again, the DOIS increases with increasing axial length of the quantum dot. In fact, the enhanced DOIS is observed throughout the range of binding energies considered. These results show that not only does the DOIS vary with the applied uniaxial stress and spatial dielectric functions they are also different for various axial lengths of the quantum dot. These findings indicate that is important to take into account the effect of applied uniaxial stress and spatial dielectric functions when performing experimental studies of electronic, optical and transport properties of such nanostructures as quantum dots.","PeriodicalId":207412,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana de Física","volume":"74 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141052692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study has an attempt to follow up the cross-linking process of Si-g-LDPE under cyclic accelerated weathering aging and to track its photo and thermo-oxidative degradation at both microscopic and macroscopic scales. The realized experiments consist to carry out cyclic accelerated weathering aging of 1152 hours, using QUV chamber, on films of Si-g-LDPE. The process of cross-linking is checked by using Hot-Set-Test measurements and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Evolution of mechanical properties and carbonyl index are used as relevant precursors of photo and thermo-oxidation degradation. Additional information on the microstructural changes (crystallinity) and on the optical properties is gained by using X-ray difractometry and UV-visible measurements. Our findings lead to a result that Si-g-LDPE has a big ability to crosslink under cyclic weathering aging. The elastic behavior of the material was enhanced gradually with increasing aging time. The elastic behavior enhancement is a consequence of crosslink network density increase. FTIR results support perfectly the Hot-Set-Test results by the increase of single or multi-siloxane linkages absorption bands. These linkages modify the digital fingerprint of the material. Our results ascertained also that we can relate the elongation at break and tensile strength changes to the changes in the carbonyl index. Both characteristics are related to the photo and thermo-oxidation degradation. Photo-oxidation degradation leads to the decrease of mechanical properties and to the increase of carbonyl index. An abrupt and sharp increase at the beginning of aging in the crystallinity of the material followed by a level-off state was observed. Finally, the optical properties (band gaps, Urbach energy and dielectric constant) are greatly affected by the weathering aging process.","PeriodicalId":207412,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana de Física","volume":"65 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140085342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
