In this work ternary CdZnS thin films were prepared by chemical bath deposition by doping CdS with different concentrations of Zn ions. The chemical bath comprised of cadmium nitrate [Cd(NO3)2], as a source of Cd 2+, zinc nitrate [ZnNO3)2]as source of Zn 2+ , thiourea [(NH2)2CS] as a source of sulphide ions [S 2]in the presence of ammonia [NH3] as a complexing agent. The competition mechanisms ...

resistivity and induced polarization methods are used in exploration of porphyry metals for years. the resistivity method is used in the study of horizontal and vertical discontinuities in the electrical properties of the ground. the induced polarization method makes use of the capacitive action of the subsurface to locate zones where conductive minerals are disseminated within their host rocks...

[1] The distribution and connectivity of brine pockets in first year sea ice has a determining influence on the bulk properties of the ice and its interaction with the environment. The structure of the brine network depends upon both temperature and salinity, and a full understanding of the temporal evolution of sea ice physical properties requires measurements that are sensitive to the microst...

By varying the ratio of the constituents, compound films can exhibit a widely tunable range of physical properties. Atomic layer deposition ~ALD! techniques are based on sequential, self-limiting surface reactions and can grow compound films. In this study, ZnO/Al2O3 alloy films were prepared using ALD techniques. By adjusting the ALD pulse sequence, the ZnO/Al2O3 alloy film composition was var...

Helicopter EM resistivity mapping began to be accepted as a means of geologic mapping in the late 1970s. The data were first displayed as plan maps and images. Some 10 years later, sectional resistivity displays became available using the same ‘‘pseudolayer’’ half-space resistivity algorithm developed by Fraser and the new centroid depth algorithm developed by Sengpiel. Known as Sengpiel resist...

BACKGROUND Pre-eclampsia (PE) poses a serious challenge to maternal and fetal health in Africa. It is associated with hemodynamic changes that may affect the internal carotid/ophthalmic artery circulation with consequent neuro-ophthalmic manifestations. Ophthalmic artery Doppler (OAD) ultrasound is an important tool that can be used to detect hemodynamic changes in PE and monitor its severity. ...

the electrical resistivity of hydrocarbon reservoir rocks is an important parameters in the calculation of water and oil saturation percent in both carbonate and sandstone reservoir rocks.in this regard, most studies have concentrated on the confining  pressure on cementation factor and electrical resistivity in sandstone reservoir rocks. in this study the effect of confining pressure on cement...

This paper reports the correlation between film thickness, nanostructure and DC electrical properties of copper thin films deposited by PVD method on glass substrate. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used for crystallography and morphology investigation, respectively. Resistivity was measured by four point probe instrument, while a Hall effects measurement system w...

AIM To evaluate intrarenal resistivity index (RI) and different biomarkers of diabetic nephropathy (DN) with clinical signs of DN and its progression over time as early detection of DN. PATIENTS AND METHODS This longitudinal study included 48 type 1 diabetic patients who were studied at baseline and after three years. A blood sample was taken for assessment of glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1),...
