Abstract:

The pellet-type SnO2 sensor was synthesized by the solid state method and the effects of additives such as nano ZnO (1-12 mol %) and nano In2O3 (1-10 mol %) on the CO gas sensitivity of sensor were investigated. The optimum sintering temperature was chosen 800°C because of the porosity content of the samples. The phase analysis and microstructure of the samples were studied by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Results show that the electrical resistivity variations of the samples with time increased by increasing the amount of additives up to the optimum value for each additive. These optimum values were 10 and 7.5mol% for nano ZnO and nano In2O3, respectively. The best sensitivity and recovery and response times were obtained in the co-doped sample containing 10 mol% nano ZnO and 7.5 mol% nano In2O3. The higher values of the additives decreased the sensitivity of the samples due to the formation of undesirable phases.

on translation of phatic communion and socio-cultural relationships between the characters of the novels

phatic communion is a cultural concept which differs across cultures. according to hofstede (2001), the u.s. tends to have individualistic culture; however, asian countries tend to have collectivistic cultures. these cultures view phatic communion differently. in individualistic cultures like u.s., phatic communion reflects speakers’ socio-cultural relationships in conversations. to see whether...
