ABSTRACT This study aims to determine the thermodynamic properties of damaged beans. Grains with initial moisture content of 53.85% (d.b.) were used. A part of the grains was used to obtain the desorption isotherms, while another part was subjected to drying until a moisture content of 5.26% (d.b.) was achieved; therefore, it was subjected to the adsorption process. To induce damage, a Stein breakage tester was used. To obtain the equilibrium moisture content, grains were placed in a climatic chamber whose temperatures were 20, 30, 40, and 50 ± 1 °C combined with a relative humidity of 30, 40, 50, 70, and 90 ± 3%. Although in the desorption process, damaged grains had a lower differential enthalpy compared with the control, the reverse behavior was observed in the adsorption process. Mechanical damage caused the formation of a greater number of available adsorption sites, resulting in higher differential entropy values in adsorption and lower values in desorption compared with the control. The mechanical damage had no effect on the Gibbs free energy.

ABSTRACTOverstoichiometric insertion of oxygen into thin films of Nd2NiO4+δwas performed electrochemically at room temperature (RT) in order to obtain an in-situ compositional analysis of the process. Thin Nd2NiO4+δlayers were deposited onto resonators of a Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). Cyclic voltammograms showed oxidation and reduction peaks typical for these oxides. The change in oxygen stoichiometry was determined by in-situ QCM measurements during potential step experiments. The resulting maximum mass change was on the order of 50 ng and corresponded to a maximum excess oxygen content of δ = 0.12 in Nd2NiO4+δ. The time dependence of the mass change was described by a transport model which leads to oxygen diffusion coefficients in the range from 2.10−12 to 10−11 cm2/s depending on δ and the direction of the reaction.

The effect of high magnetic field on diamagnetic fluid flow has been studied by in-situ optical observation. The Schlieren optics utilizable under high magnetic fields was developed to carry out in-situ observation of the behavior of feeble magnetic fluids. Using a crystal of the diamagnetic aluminum potassium sulfate dodecahydrate, the behavior of the downward flow of high concentration solution in the sample dissolution process was observed. It was found that the direction of diamagnetic fluid flow was changed under spatially varied magnetic field. This phenomenon was understood qualitatively by considering the magnetic force acting on the high concentration solution and the surrounding solution.

Patterning of metals is a key element in the fabrication of integrated microelectronics. For circuit repair and engineering changes constructive lithography, writing techniques, based on electron, ion or photon beam-induced decomposition of precursor molecule and its deposition on top of a structure have gained wide acceptance Recently, scanning probe techniques have been used for line drawing and wire growth of W on a silicon substrate for quantum effect devices. The kinetics of electron beam induced W deposition from WF6 gas has been studied by adsorbing the gas on SiO2 surface and measuring the growth in a TEM for various exposure times. Our environmental cell allows us to control not only electron exposure time but also the gas pressure flow and the temperature. We have studied the growth kinetics of Au Chemical vapor deposition (CVD), in situ, at different temperatures with/without the electron beam on highly clean Si surfaces in an environmental cell fitted inside a TEM column.
