The purpose of this study was to test a gallium nitrate solution, a resorption inhibitor, employed as a root canal dressing in teeth submitted to late replantation. Thirty maxillary right central incisors of rats were avulsed and kept dry for thirty minutes. The teeth were instrumented and the root surfaces were treated with 1% hypochlorite solution followed by application of 2% sodium fluoride...

In this paper, tetragonal chalcopyrite (CIGS) Cu(InxGa1-x)Se2 with x=0, 0.5, 0.8, 1 are synthesized by heating-up method. These nanoparticle structures differ in morphology and absorption properties due to the synthesis temperatures of 250, 255, 260, 265, 270 and 280 ºC, and gallium molar ratio over the total gallium and indium contents. These features are studied using scanning electron m...

Ga self-diffusion in gallium phosphide ~GaP! is measured directly in isotopically controlled GaP heterostructures. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy ~SIMS! is used to monitor intermixing of Ga and Ga between isotopically pure GaP epilayers which are grown by molecular beam epitaxy ~MBE! on GaP substrates. The Ga self-diffusion coefficient in undoped GaP is determined to be D52.0 cm s exp(24.5 eV/...

Chlorosulfonic acid assisted the exfoliation of MoS2 and WS2 resulting in retaining their semiconducting 2H-phase, sharply contrasting the semiconducting-to-metallic phase-transition observed with the currently available exfoliation techniques.

A method for the elaboration of a heterojunction composed on n-type inorganic semiconducting nanoparticles, TiO(2), and a p-type organic semiconducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) by UV illumination is described.

A simple and quantitative, self-calibrating spectroscopic technique for the determination of the ratio of metallic to semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in a bulk sample is presented. The technique is based on the measurement of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrum of the SWCNT sample to which cobalt(II)octaethylporphyrin (CoOEP) probe molecules have been added. ...

Design of efficient solar energy-conversion materials has attracted much interest in the last few decades. Among these materials, copper-based semiconducting chalcogenides have been employed as alternatives for copper indium gallium selenide thin-film cells due to their low toxicity and earth-abundant absorber components. In present manuscript, structural, electronic, quantum theory atoms molec...
