AbstractHgl−xCdxTe layers have been grown on CdTe substrates using dimethylcadmium, diethyltelluride and mercury in a horizontal reactor. Details of conditions for growth of these layers are presented in this paper. Specular surfaces of Hg1−x CdxTe with × ≥ 0.15 were obtained on (100) 3°, → (110) oriented CdTe substrates. Both n-type and p-type layers could be obtained. The mobility of these layers was measured over the temperature range of 10 K to 300 K. The mobility of n-type Hg.81 Cd.19Te layers, measured at 2.1 kG, was 3.0 × 105 cm2/V-sec at 60 K, falling to 2 × 105 cm2/V-sec at 10 K. P-type layers were also grown, and are described in this paper.

AbstractMobilities in Si1-x-yGex Cy layers were measured using mesa etched Van der Pauw structures for alloy layers with 0 < x < 0.30 and 0 < y < 0.02 and doping levels of 1015 < N < 1018 cm-3. Mobilities in Si1-x-yGex Cy layers with x = 0.27 were found to approach Si mobilities for both μn and μp.While electron mobilities in phosphorous-doped SiGeC decrease with doping concentration, hole mobilities in boron-doped SiGeC increase with doping level, indicating ionized impurity scattering is not dominant for μp over the temperature range studied.

AbstractAs an approach to the exploration of cold-active enzymes, in this study, we isolated a cold-active protease produced by psychrotrophic bacteria from glacial soils of Thajwas Glacier, Himalayas. The isolated strain BO1, identified as Bacillus pumilus, grew well within a temperature range of 4–30 °C. After its qualitative and quantitative screening, the cold-active protease (Apr-BO1) was purified. The Apr-BO1 had a molecular mass of 38 kDa and showed maximum (37.02 U/mg) specific activity at 20 °C, with casein as substrate. It was stable and active between the temperature range of 5–35 °C and pH 6.0–12.0, with an optimum temperature of 20 °C at pH 9.0. The Apr-BO1 had low Km value of 1.0 mg/ml and Vmax 10.0 µmol/ml/min. Moreover, it displayed better tolerance to organic solvents, surfactants, metal ions and reducing agents than most alkaline proteases. The results exhibited that it effectively removed the stains even in a cold wash and could be considered a decent detergent additive. Furthermore, through protein modelling, the structure of this protease was generated from template, subtilisin E of Bacillus subtilis (PDB ID: 3WHI), and different methods checked its quality. For the first time, this study reported the protein sequence for psychrotrophic Apr-BO1 and brought forth its novelty among other cold-active proteases.

During the past two years, we have underlined the great potential of p-type oxychalcogenides, with parent compound BiCuSeO , for thermoelectric applications in the medium temperature range (400–650°C). These materials, which do not contain lead and are less expensive than Te containing materials, exhibit large thermoelectric figure of merit, exceeding 1 in a wide temperature range, mainly due to an intrinsically very low thermal conductivity. This paper summarizes the main chemical and crystallographic features of this system, as well as the thermoelectric properties. It also gives new directions to improve these properties, and discuss the potential of these materials for wide scale applications in thermoelectric conversion system in the medium temperature range.
