The following chalcogen compounds of stanna-closo-dodecaborate were synthesized and characterized: the tetrameric oxide [(O-SnB(11)H(11))(4)](8-) from the reaction with hydrogen peroxide and the sulfide and selenide [S-SnB(11)H(11)](2-), [Se-SnB(11)H(11)](2-) from the reaction with elemental sulfur and selenium, respectively. The stannaborate derivatives were characterized by (119)Sn Mössbauer ...

Analytical electron microscopy techniques are used to investigate elemental distributions across a high-k dielectric stack with a metal gate. Electron energy-loss spectroscopy results from a Si(100)/SiO2/HfO2/TiN/a-Si gate stack confirm the presence of an oxide interfacial phase at the TiN/a-Si interface prior to activation of the stack.

Stainless steel based dye solar cells have been upscaled from small, laboratory size test cells of 0.32 cm2 active area to 6 cm x 6 cm "mini-modules" with active areas ca. 15 cm2. Stainless steel works as the photoelectrode substrate whilst the counter electrode is prepared on indium-doped tin oxide coated polyethyleneterephtalate or polyethylenenaphtalate plastic foil (fluorine-doped tin oxide...

Tin oxide (SnO2) nanofibers are successfully prepared by electrospinning homogeneous viscous solutions of tin acetate in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The electrospinning is carried out by applying a DC voltage to the tip of a syringe and maintaining the tip to collector distance (TCD), i.e. at DC electric field of 1.25 kV∙cm−1. The electrospun nanofibers are calcined between 550 ̊C and 650 ̊C for ...

Metal oxide nanosheets have potential applications in novel nanoelectronics as nanocrystal building blocks. In this work, the devices with a structure of Au/p-type Co3O4 nanosheets/indium tin oxide/glass having bipolar resistive switching characteristics were successfully fabricated. The experimental results demonstrate that the device have stable high/low resistance ratio that is greater than ...

The mechanisms for the resistance to sulfur poisoning at the triple phase boundary (TPB) of the Ni/yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) system treated with Sn vapor are studied using the first-principles method based on density functional theory. Models with Sn dopant or adsorbate are proposed. It is found that the TPB model of the Ni/YSZ system with Sn dopant in Ni can to some extent restrain the ...

This paper presents a novel microwave-assisted hydrothermal technique for synthesizing tin(II) oxide nanoparticles. This technique can be used for producing large quantities of homogeneous nanoparticles in a short time. The effect of the solution molarity, final pH, hydrothermal processing time and microwave power were studied. The tin(II) oxide structure verified from XRD...
