The modification of chitosan, by grafting of oxo-2-glutaric acid, allows its sorption performance to be increased. This enhancement of uptake ability is observed in overall sorption capacity and specificity in sorbing particular metals. This work focuses on the sorption of uranium (VI) and vanadium (V). The sorption isotherms are studied. The experimental results are described according to the Langmuir and Freundlich models. It was shown that uranium sorption is best described by the Freundlich model, while vanadium sorption is difficult to model. The influence of the particle size, significant in the case of uranium, but not for vanadium, shows that the sorption mechanism is not the same for the two metals : surface control is predominant in the case of uranium, due to the poor porosity of the sorbents. The control of overall sorption capacity is related to the chemistry of the metal and polymer : the appearance of hydrolyzed species and protonation of the polymer.

The three-dimensional or finite-span effect on supercavitating hydrofoils has received much attention in recent years. Among others may be mentioned the work of Tsen and Gullbaud [1], 3 who give the numerical results of their own fully linearized supercavitating lifting-surface theory together with some experimental data, both their own and from other sources. The numerical results are somewhat different from what one might expect based on existing theories, and some of the experimental findings appear to differ from previously published results. The purpose of this brief note is to compare some of the theoretical and experimental results from reference [1] with other recent works both for fully linearized treatments (valid only for vanishing angles of attack), and nonlinear theories and other experimental data that have been used in the past.

AbstractIn order to achieve a nickel-like X ray laser scheme we need a tool to determine the parameters which characterise the high-Z plasma. The aim of this work is to study gold laser plasmas and to compare experimental results to a collisional-radiative model which describes nickel-like ions. The electronic temperature and density are measured by the emission of an aluminium tracer. They are compared to the predictions of the nickel-like model for pure gold. The results show that the density and temperature can be estimated in a pure gold plasma.

Since phase contrasts of STEM images, that is, Fresnel diffraction fringes or lattice images, manifest themselves in field emission scanning microscopy, the mechanism for image formation in the STEM mode has been investigated and compared with that in CTEM mode, resulting in the theory of reciprocity. It reveals that contrast in STEM images exhibits the same properties as contrast in CTEM images. However, it appears that the validity of the reciprocity theory, especially on the details of phase contrast, has not yet been fully proven by the experiments. In this work, we shall investigate the phase contrast images obtained in both the STEM and CTEM modes of a field emission microscope (100kV), and evaluate the validity of the reciprocity theory by comparing the experimental results.

A (111) phosphorus-doped Si specimen, thinned to give a TEM foil of thickness ∼ 150nm, contained a dislocation network lying on the (111) plane. The dislocation lines were along the three <211> directions and their total Burgers vectors,ḇt, were of the type , each dislocation being of edge character. TEM examination under proper weak-beam conditions seemed initially to show the standard contrast behaviour for such dislocations, indicating some dislocation segments were undissociated (contrast A), while other segments were dissociated to give two Shockley partials separated by approximately 6nm (contrast B) . A more detailed examination, however, revealed that some segments exhibited a third and anomalous contrast behaviour (contrast C), interpreted here as being due to a new dissociation not previously reported. Experimental results obtained for a dislocation along [211] with for the six <220> type reflections using (g,5g) weak-beam conditions are summarised in the table below, together with the relevant values.

Vicinal Si (001) surfaces are interesting because they are good substrates for the growth of III-V semiconductors. Spots in RHEED patterns from vicinal surfaces are split due to scattering from ordered step arrays and this splitting can be used to determine the misorientation angle, using kinematic arguments. Kinematic theory is generally regarded to be inadequate for the calculation of RHEED intensities; however, only a few dynamical RHEED simulations have been attempted for vicinal surfaces. The multislice formulation of Cowley and Moodie with a recently developed edge patching method was used to calculate RHEED patterns from vicinal Si (001) surfaces. The calculated patterns are qualitatively similar to published experimental results and the positions of the split spots quantitatively agree with kinematic calculations.RHEED patterns were calculated for unreconstructed (bulk terminated) Si (001) surfaces misoriented towards [110] ,with an energy of 15 keV, at an incident angle of 36.63 mrad ([004] bragg condition), and a beam azimuth of [110] (perpendicular to the step edges) and the incident beam pointed down the step staircase.
