AbstractA method for producing titanium dioxide (TiO2) containing hydroxyapatite (HA) crystallite isproposed. Solutions of CaCI2+H3PO4 and TiCL4+HCI combined with KOH are used to precipitatefirst the HA and then the TiO2.The precipitate is then sintered between 900°C and 1000°C for 18 to48 hours. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Energy DispersiveX-ray Analysis (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have been used to determine thecrystallinity, the chemical composition and structure of the samples.

Intense photoluminescence (PL) has been observed at room temperature from the polycrystalline SiC samples prepared from carbon-saturated Si melt at a temperature ranging from 1500 to 1650°C. Composition and structure of the samples have been confirmed by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. PL measurements with 325 nm UV light excitation revealed that the room temperature PL spectrum of the samples consists of 3 luminescent bands, the peak energies of which are 2.38 eV, 2.77 eV and 3.06 eV, respectively. The 2.38 eV band is much stronger than the others. It is suggested that some extrinsic PL mechanisms associated with defect or interface states would be responsible to the intensive PL observed at room temperature.

ABSTRACTWe tried direct oxynitridation of silicon surfaces by remote-plasma-exited nitrogen and oxygen gaseous mixtures at 700°C in a high vacuum. The oxynitrided surfaces were investigated with in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. With increase of the oxynitridation time, the surface density of nitrogen gradually increases, but that of oxygen shows nearly saturation behavior after the rapid increase in the initial stage. We also annealed the grown oxynitride and oxide films to investigate the role of the contained nitrogen. The desorption rate of oxygen from the oxynitride films is much less than that from oxide films. We confirmed that nitrogen stabilizes the thermal stability of these oxynitride films.

The use of enzymes as catalysts requires recovery and reuse to make the process viable. Enzymatic immobilization changes enzyme stability, activity, and specificity. It is very important to explore new substrates for immobilization with appropriate composition and structure to improve the efficiency of the immobilized enzymes. This work explores the use of two different graphene oxide papers, one produced by oxidation route (GO) and the other by electrochemical synthesis (EG), aiming for β-galactosidase immobilization. The chemical and structural properties of these two papers were characterized by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Atomic force microscopy images showed that EG paper ensured more efficient immobilization of the enzymes on the surface of the paper. Cyclic voltammetry was used to monitor the reaction of conversion of lactose to glucose in the free enzyme solution and graphene paper immobilized enzyme solutions. The cyclic voltammetry analysis showed that immobilized enzymes on GO paper showed an improvement in the activity of β-galactose when compared to free enzyme solution, as well as enzyme immobilized on a glassy carbon electrode.
