I. HIGH TECHNOLOGICAL POTENTIAL MATERIALS EXPLORED BY LASER ABLATION

Laboratoire de Physique des Lasers, Atomes et Molcules, Universit Lille 1 Sciences & Technologies, 59655 Villeneuve dAscq, France, cristian.focsa@univ-lille1.fr

Our group has developed for several years experimental and theoretical capabilities for the study of plasma ablation for nano-technology applications. Fundamental studies on laser ablation plasma plume dynamics have been performed both experimentally by optical (ICCD fast imaging, space- and time-resolved optical emission spectroscopy) and electrical (Langmuir probes, mass spectrometry) methods, and theoretically (development of a new model based on fractal concepts). These fundamental studies were further applied to the study of innovative materials of high interest for the nanotechnology field: pulsed laser deposition of chalcogenide glasses and magnetoelectric materials thin films. The deposited thin films have been characterized by various surface and solid state specific methods (TOF-SIMS, optical and mechanical profilometry, XRD, EDX, SEM, ellipsometry, Raman etc.). Another application is the study of the accelerated erosion of ceramic materials used in plasma space propulsion (Hall Effect Thrusters - HETs). These experiments were developed both in our laboratory and on a running HET at the national ground test facility PIVOINE-2G in Orlans, France. We will present an overview of these fundamental and applied studies [1-6].

III. LOW TC Fe-Nb-Cr-B GLASSY ALLOYS FOR MEDICAL APPLICATIONS


N. Lupu, H. Chiriac, S. Corodeanu, G. Ababei, M. Grigoras
National Institute of Research and Development for Technical Physics, Iasi, Romania

For a number of years the only metallic material with a Curie temperature (TC) around 300 K was Gd. In the recent years, it turned out that the addition of Cr, Ba and Ni to some Fe or Co-based metallic glasses is shifting the ferromagneticparamagnetic transition of the amorphous phase below 400 K [1-3], which makes them interesting for temperature sensors [3] or biomedical applications [4]. In this work we will present comparatively our recent results on the magnetic and ferromagnetic resonance characterization of Fe79.7-xNb0.3CrxB20 (x = 11.513.5 at.%) glassy melt-spun ribbons and glass coated microwires with TC ranging from 290 to 330 K (the lowest ever reported for metallic glasses), depending on the Cr content (the lower the Cr content the higher the temperature of the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition). All samples have a glassy structure consisting of very small -Fe clusters of 3-5 nm embedded within the Fe80B20 residual amorphous matrix. The ferromagnetic behavior drastically deteriorates with the increase of the temperature and above TC the material becomes paramagnetic, indicating these materials for hyperthermia applications. The large values of the magnetic permeability in the as-quenched state (1000020000) are also very important, especially for sensing applications. The stable behavior of low TC glassy alloys up to very high frequencies (10 GHz) is another important feature for sensing and medical applications.

Considering wide application field of nanostructured matter with magnetic properties, modified Massarts method was utilized to prepare magnetite nanoparticles for stable biocompatible suspensions. The attempts of stabilizing magnetic grains in water resulted in various magnetizable nanofluids each including other organic coating shell for ferrophase dispersion: tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide (electrostatic stabilization), citric acid, perchloric acid, tartaric acid (steric stabilization) - all having almost physiological pH. Ferophase volume fraction, density, electric conductivity, superficial tension and viscosity coefficient were estimated from rheological investigation. Physical diameter size was provided by Transmission Electron Microscopy (mean diameter from 7.4 nm to 10.5 nm) while magnetic core largest size (from 5.5 nm to 7.1 nm) was deduced from Langevins theory and magnetization curves (Fig. 1) - none presenting hysteresis phenomenon. Thinnest non-magnetic shell was evidenced for citric acid coated magnetite where the density of magnetic particles (given by the saturation magnetization and magnetic diameter) has reached the highest value (about 71023m-3 compared to 0.41023m-3for tartaric acid). Coating molecule interaction with magnetite iron ions was confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy.

Citric acid coated magnetite nanoparticles seems to be most suitable biocompatible suspensions adequate for contrast agents in magnetic resonance imagistic; biomedical application in magnetically targeted drug delivery could be developed with other magnetizable nanofluids in relation also with the properties of drug intended for grafting on the colloidal nanoparticles.

V. ON THE HYSTERESIS PHENOMENON IN NON-EQUILIBRIUM PHASE TRANSITIONS

Faculty of Physics, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, 11 Carol I Blvd., 700506 Iasi, Romania

Non-equilibrium phase transitions represent a topical problem of research in various fields of physics. As they appear in complex systems, an alternative approach of their understanding is that of the nonlinear dynamics. Hysteresis is the property of an evolving complex system which emphasizes the dependence of its states on the previous ones, or, with other words, on the systems history. Because the equilibrium thermodynamics properties of a system are completely determined by the state parameters, as pressure and temperature, and they are independent of the way the system reached that state, it follows that hysteresis is a characteristic of the system driven outside the thermodynamic equilibrium. Complex systems are nonlinear and dissipative systems, the evolution of which can be described by an adequate evolution equation or system of equations, which relates the dependence of the order parameter(s) of the system on the control parameter(s) that can be externally modified as desired. In the present contribution two types of reaction functions are analyzed, together with the associated Lyapunov-like functionals. These functionals can describe two different types of Thoms catastrophes, as well as the first-, respectively the second-order phase transitions. Using the functional ascribed to the first-order phase transitions, the stationary structured states are found and their stability to perturbations is analyzed. The bifurcation types and the critical points are established. The sudden jumps, instabilities, the bistability range and the hysteresis phenomenon are also studied. Also, a quantitative discussion of the stability exchange in the bistability domain is done from the nonlinear dynamics point of view. For the functional ascribed to the second-order phase transitions an analysis similar to that for the first-order ones is performed and the results showed that the entire bistability domain collapses to the critical point. In order to highlight the presence of hysteresis in the phase transitions governed by a functional specific to the second-order ones, a symmetrybreaking perturbation is used and the analytic results clearly mimic the experimental results reported in the literature, e.g., for the paraelectric-ferroelectric transitions.

In the last years, great progresses have been achieved in the field of molecular materials on the optical, electrical and magnetic properties and nanolectronics devices. These achievements are exemplified by the development of organic LEDs (OLEDs), organic thin film field-effect-transistor, molecular magnets, etc. Herein we focus on the charge transport properties of bulk and nano-sized samples of the [Fe(Htrz)2(trz)](BF4) spin crossover compound. This complex displays a thermal hysteresis loop in the dc electrical conductivity, which we could clearly associate with the molecular spin state switching phenomenon the low spin state being more conductive [1]. We used electric-field-assisted directed assembly to organize high aspect-ratio spin crossover nanorods between interdigitated electrodes with a very high degree of alignment [2]. The temperature-dependent current-voltage characteristics of each device revealed a bistability of the current intensity associated with the spin-state switching, providing appealing perspectives for nano-scale switching and memory devices.

The present work focuses on the study of the Kompaneets equation [1], as applied to Compton scattering effects in magnetars magnetosphere [2]. In the non relativistic case, we analytically solve the photon diffusion equation and express the wave functions in terms of the Heun double confluent functions [3]. The approach tackled in determining the solutions of the Kompaneets kinetic equation is considered in the stationary regime. References: 1 Kompaneets, A. S. Zh. ksp. Teor. Fiz. 31, 876, 1956 [Sov.

The development of mathematical approach in biomedical domain has led to computational studies on the biological signals extracted from various physiological systems of interest in clinical diagnostic. The main purpose of such research is the design of specific computational tools to characterize pathological signals compared to the normal ones by means of some semi-quantitative parameters and also by qualitative tests application. The aim of the present study was to analyze the behavior of the saccadic signal using some algorithms based on the chaotic determinism theory. Saccadic eye movements are fast eye movements which redirect the line of sight to bring a new part of the visual scene onto the foveal region. These movements were recorded from normal human subject during a visually-guided saccade task using an infrared eye tracking system in a special experimental arrangement, the collected signal being investigated, considering both raw and the numerical smoothed data. Power spectrum, autocorrelation function and autocorrelation time, the phasespace reconstruction, the capacity dimension and Lyapunov exponent were applied for the diagnosis of saccadic system dynamics. The smoothed signal was hardly distinguishable from the initial one, but the application of the usual analysis strategy has led to somehow different results regarding the non-linear features of the underlying neurovisual physiological system. Given the experimental design, one could expect that quasi-periodic dynamical trend overlap chaotic one, but actually the capacity dimension and the autocorrelation function showed the dominancy of the complex dynamical component (chaotic pattern). The power spectrum test applied to raw signal revealed the chaotic component for law and medium frequencies while for smoothed data the same was revealed for high frequencies also. The phase-space reconstructed using delay coordinates (x(t), x(t-n)) showed the same complex dynamics, especially for higher n value (for instance for n=16, where the capacity dimension approaching its fractal geometrical feature - emphasized saturation tendency to a non-integer reliable value). The autocorrelation function decreased to zero almost identically for raw and smoothed data with much closed values of the autocorrelation time. The largest Lyapunov exponent calculated for embedding dimensions from one to ten showed small positive values closed to zero which reveals the sensitivity to initial conditions and suggests the system evolution toward an instable state, a bifurcation point. So, the chaotic dynamics seems to characterize the neuro-visual system involved in saccade preparation, triggering and accomplishment. The next objective in developing this study will focus on the non-linearity of biophysical processes underlying the generation and propagation of neural impulses that are mainly responsible for complex chaotic dynamics identified in the saccadic eye movements.

In general relativity one of the most fundamental issues consists in defining a generally acceptable definition for the energy-momentum density. As a consequence, many coordinate-dependent definitions have been presented, whereby some of them utilize appropriate energy-momentum complexes. We investigate the energy-momentum distribution for a metric exterior to a spherically symmetric black hole in the brane world by applying the Landau-Lifshitz and Weinberg prescriptions. In both the aforesaid prescriptions, the energy thus obtained depends on the radial coordinate, the mass of the black hole and a parameter , while all the momenta are found to be zero. It is shown that for a special value of the parameter , the Schwarzschild space-time geometry is recovered. Some particular and limiting cases are also discussed.

Starting from a simplified normalized time dependent derivative cancer growth model, proposed by Ivancevic, we propose a tumorgrowth model, which includes the temporal chaotic butterfly- attractor and some other interesting features. A numerical analysis of this model is performed using computational routines for solving non-linear PDEs in Wolfram Mathematica, which among other features indicates that the introduced model might exhibit travelling wave solutions for some choices of parameters. After some mathematical manipulations, a reduced travelling wave equations system results which exhibits an amplitude dependence on the pseudo-period, indicating a strong nonlinearity and an interesting increase in Shapiro steps.

We study a particular model of tumor progression, Perumpananis malignant invasion model with a small amount of diffusion, in the framework of Scale Relativity theory, namely, we assume the invasive cells, the connective tissue and the proteases are moving through a non-differential medium governed by the Scale Relativity theory. Furthermore, we consider an action-reaction law acting on the system formed by the extracellular matrix and the non-differential medium. As a result, cancer cell proliferation satisfies a logistic law accounting for the competition for space with the nondifferential medium and the time evolution of the concentration of the connective tissue increases proportional to the real fractal velocity, squared. Also, we find again that over small distances, even in avascular stages, malignant tumors might propagate and invade healthy tissues. Finally, we find exact solutions for Perumpananis malignant invasion model with a small amount of diffusion in terms of Scale Relativity theory, using the factorization and the tanh method. For small diffusion coefficients, we may conclude that there is a gap between the invasive cells front and the degraded connective tissue, the extracellular matrix is not continuously degraded by the concentration of proteases and the later one shows amplified followed by amortized oscillations and jumps between two distinct levels.

NEW LANDMARK IN THE STUDY OF GEOMETRY AND PARALLEL COMPUTATION APPLIED TO NANO-WIRES MAGNETIC PROPERTIES
Sergiu Mohorianu
NIRDTP, Iasi, 47 Mangeron Boulevard, sergium@phys-iasi.ro

The outstanding success of magnetic materials for the last two decades may be ascribed to three relevant happenings in the last 10-15 years. The global realization of importance of nano-science and nano-technology (1); overall improvements in general expertise and techniques in sample synthesis (2); a dramatic refinement and development of new methods and probes for magnetic materials characterization (3). The increasing importance of nano-level studies has led to the ingenious ways of producing nanoparticle samples and the advent of powerful new techniques for element specific studies, layer-by-layer and even leading to atomic resolution, suitable for investigating magnetism of nanoclusters, bi- and trilayer systems and even single atoms at surfaces and interfaces. The success at the nano-level has opened-up new frontiers, namely magnetism of nanoclusters, surface and interface magnetism, low dimensional magnetism, interacting nanostructure magnetism and many others. In terms of theoretical research the rapid development of theoretical methods based on congruity of computer simulation has allowed the calculation of ever finer details of the formation and interaction of magnetic moments and has permitted a refined interpretation of experimental data. The new aspects studied in the last year, our latest research we specialize in improving techniques for high-level simulation in the design of nanomaterials with controlled magnetic properties. Thus, we used a free software package built on Linux called Nmag1 (with permission of Hans Fangohr&all) on a open source platform. The software package allows working with parallelized algorithms. The language used is Python2 suited for scientific applications. Restriction most imporatant in simulation were imposed by refining the mesh and the accuracy of resulting magnetization in magnetic nanowire model. The material magnetic properties and the geometry were prepared and designed in laboratory, based on the experimental data that results in works conducted in our own institute. Magnetic characteristics and experimental results were in good agreement validating the model given both theoretical and edge refinement algorithms.

TOWARDS A NEW TECHNOLOGY OF TAILORING ENHANCED SURFACE PARAMETERS OF STAINLESS ALLOYS

National Institute of R&D for Materials Physics (Mgurele-Bucharest, 105bis Atomistilor-street, POBox-MG7, 077125, Romania; crnl_srbu@yahoo.com

A newly developed low-temperature gas-atmosphere processing for carburization (LTCSS) of stainless steel (SS) AISI-316L was empirically developed, patented and commercially applied1. It was successful in dramatically improving the surface hardness, wear resistance2 and corrosion resistance of 316L steel3. When extended to the Ni-based superalloy Inconel-718 (IN-718)4 and to the E-BRITE (a registered trademark of ATI Allegheny Ludlum Corp., Brackenridge, PA) duplex SS, the method provided similar enhancements5, whereas when applied to the duplex-SS UNS-S32550 it failed in improving (unpublished results) the surface corrosion resistance. The academic research concerning the cause of surface properties modifications provided an explanation based exclusively on a model of massive interstitial diffusion (leading to a so-called colossal supersaturation, denying the classical thermodynamics) of C originating in the gas atmosphere, which occurs without carbides formation because the process is claimed to occur in paraequilibrium conditions. It was claimed that no other phenomenon is to be considered except for a dilatation of the preexisting alloy grains, whose incresed lattice parameters lead to a huge residual stress and therefore to the dramatic modification of surface properties. This explanation is based on a wrong way of interpretation of the experimentally observed peak shapes and intensities of the X-ray diffractograms acquired when scanning the carburized surfaces. We will present our most recent results, unpublished yet and based on atomic resolution HRTEM and analysis, showing that in the range of several microns below the alloy surface a very profound modification of its microstructure occurs. The initial grains microstructure of the alloys, as exists previous to the effect of LTCSS, is transformed to a nanostructure of crystallites and amorphous phase, with a massive presence of C, which is not simply diffused into the crystal lattice. The dramatic modification of the surface microstructure by means of the solid-state chemical reactions which probably occur when the alloy surface is LTCSS treated suggests that we have to look at this kind of processing as a possible ground for the development of a new technology for tailoring several technically important surface parameters. Our proposal is that, in first instance the understanding of basic chemical processes involved in the carburization should be the research objective, followed by the extension of gas mixture to other compositions than that for carburization.

Thin films of Al-doped ZnO (AZO) were obtained through sequential pulsed laser deposition (SPLD) method at room temperature in reactive environment. By alternating ablation of individual metallic targets in oxygen atmosphere, zinc for the host and aluminum for dopant, two sets of samples were obtained: the first consisted of thin films with different dopant concentrations (from 0.3 to 4.4% at.) deposited at constant pressure (i.e., 5 x 10-2 mbar), while for the second one the oxygen partial pressure was varied (from 1 x 10-2 to 1 x 10-2 mbar) for a constant doping concentration (4.4% at.). The samples were investigated in terms of their structural, optical and electrical properties. X-ray diffraction data shows that the obtained AZO thin films were single phase with a polycrystalline structure. From the variation of the lattice constants with Al content we concluded that Al tends to be present in the host lattice mainly as interstitials. XPS depth profiles revealed a homogenous composition and the dopant percentage was found to be constant throughout the film. We could also verify that a fine tuning of the dopant can be achieved by carefully choosing the number of pulses used for Al laser ablation. Transmittance values were high (~ 90%) in the visible region and the photoluminescence (PL) signal intensity was improved upon doping. The electrical resistivity showed a decrease of four orders of magnitude with respect to undoped ZnO reference sample. When the deposition pressure was lowered, we noted a transition of the crystallites growth from a random to a (110) preferential orientation. Concomitantly there was a change of the morphology from a densely packed to a loosely packed granular structure. In addition, the band gap widened to 3.88 eV and the electrical resistivity dropped to 5.4 x 10-2 cm, which is the lowest value obtained in our experimental conditions. These modifications could be attributed primarily to effects triggered at low pressure, like the formation of oxygen vacancies (which act as donors) and the alteration of the film growth dynamics due to increased deposition rate.

Thermal barrier coatings (TBC) consisting of multilayers of yttrium stabilized zircon (YSZ) and (NiCo)CrAlY alloy bond layers on top of NIMONIC or stainless steel test specimens are prepared by plasma jet deposition. The effect of thermal shock cycles at 100C 1100 C followed by forced air cooling and water cooling on structural and morphological stability of TBC and substrate are investigated by transmission and scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy prior and after thermal shock tests. Preliminary results of SEM and X-ray diffraction measurements on stainless steel specimens covered with TBC show thermal stability of the zirconia coatings. However, segregation of aluminium in the Ni-Cr-Al buffer layer, possibly causing critical failure of the TBC are also evidenced after thermal shock cycles.

Capacitive RF MEMS switches are one of the most promising applications in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), but their commercialization is currently hampered by reliability problems. The most important problem is the charging of the dielectric material, employed as insulator, under the applied pull-in voltage Vpi. It was experimentally found that high dielectric permittivity materials (required for the high on /off capacitance ratio needed for RF applications) are prone to charging when an actuation voltage is applied. The parasitic charge stored in the dielectric material causes a drift in the device behavior, a modification of the action voltage and, ultimately, device failure [1]. The paper analyses how the electric charge injected/extracted at the metal-dielectric interface accumulates into the dielectric material used as insulator in a RF capacitive MEMS switch. Experimental data were taken in different ambient atmospheres, including a vacuum. It is proposed the employment of a triangular voltage signal [2] to measure the Vpi and the pull-off voltage Vpo. An estimate of the charge stored into the material and of the capacitance of the device was obtained by measuring the short-circuit and the open-circuit charging and discharging currents or the open-circuit voltage. A detailed analysis of the stored charge, including the landscape of the thermal activation energies involved, the electric charge amount stored under different experimental conditions and the relaxation time, was obtained by using the final thermally stimulated discharge current technique.

A lot of single-phase permanent magnets have been developed for different applications in the last century. The application area of permanent magnets increased with their performance. When focusing on magnetic properties, each type of single-phase magnets comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. Nd-Fe-based magnets present high magnetization, but moderate Curie temperature, whereas Sm-Co-based magnets have high thermal stability, but their magnetization and energy product values are low compared to Nd-Fe-based magnets. The hybrid magnets combine the advantages of different types of magnets, therefore efforts to produce hybrid magnets increased enormously in the last decades [1-3]. In this paper, we will discuss our latest results on the magnetic properties and thermal stability of hybrid magnets prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) method from mixtures of ball-milled powders obtained from precursor Nd-Fe-B and Sm11.114(Co65.777Fe8.888Cu10.666Zr3.555)8 melt-spun ribbons. Nd-Fe-B melt-spun ribbons were first annealed at temperatures of 610-6900C for 20 min. to obtain the optimum nanocrystalline microstructure, whilst Sm-Co-based melt-spun ribbons were annealed at 800-9500C for 16 h in order to improve their microstructure and to enhance the magnetic properties. The annealed ribbons have been further used as precursors to prepare powders by high-energy ball-milling. The size of the micropowders varied between 10 and 150 m, depending on the milling time. The powders have been mixed in different weight ratios, and then sintered under vacuum by SPS technique at different pressures between 50 and 70 MPa applied during the heating to 6000C.

The optimum magnetic properties were obtained for [NdFeB]+15wt.%[Sm-(Co,Fe,Cu,Zr)] hybrid magnets consolidated at an applied pressure of 60 MPa: Hc = 9.5 kOe; 0Ms = 0.9 T; (BH)max = 295.7 kJ/m3. As compared to NdFeB, the coercivity of [NdFeB]+15wt.%[Sm-(Co,Fe,Cu,Zr)] hybrid magnets is with 22% lower, the remanence magnetization at 1500C is with 4% lower, whereas the Curie temperature increases with 720C. All the benefits given by the mixture of the two types of powders will be discussed in detail considering the composition and ratio of the mixed powders, as well as the compaction parameters.

The ferrofluid are media composed of ferromagnetic particles dispersed in a base liquid. The clasic ferrofluid contained particles of magnetite, suspended in kerosene and stbilised with oleic acid. We describe the preparation method of a new ferrofluid in which the stabilizing agent (oleic acid) is partially replaced with silicon oil PDMS or PMFS. For the obtained proves we study: the density, the magnetic susceptibility and the viscosity. The studies show that the magnetic susceptibility is monotously decreasing as a function of silicon oil concentration. The density increases slowly and the viscosity increases as well as function of silicon oil concentration. The distinction with respect to the ferrofluid based on oleic acid stabilizing consist in the behavior of the viscosity in magnetic field.

CHARACTERISTICS OF NEGATIVE PHOTOCONDUCTION AT SOME SCHOTTKY STRUCTURES WITH ELECTRIC FIELD EFFECT BASED ON PHOTOSYNTHETIC PIGMENTS
Magda Gherghel
Department of Physics, Technical University Gh. Asachi Iai

This paper presents the experimental results concerning the study of the photoelectric behaviour of a multijunction type multilayer mixed structure with photosynthetic pigments ( Chl ) having the form Al / pChl : C6H8O6 p+ Chl / Cu. Being constituted from more series-superposed and vertically-illuminated semiconductor junctions, the respective photosystem allows the selective usage of a part as large as possible from the spectrum of the solar radiations which is of interest for the photovoltaic conversion and optoelectronical devices. The experimental results obtained at the plotting of the photoelectric and photovoltaic characteristics at both structures have rendered evident both the presence of a Schottky-type interface micro(nano) barrier responsible for the potential fluctuations, photocurrent and photopotential behaviors. For the Schotty barrier height have been obtained mean values in the interval 0.85...0.95 eV and a fluctuation of the barrier height B = 0.012...0.25 eV. Simultaneously has been investigated the influence of both the electric field and the addition of C6H8O6 ascorbic acid on the energy transfer and electron transport through the Schotty barriers of Al / Chl and Al / Chl : C6H8O6 interfaces the field effect structure. We reveal that in the study of the interdependences between electric fields + the concentration of the C6H8O6 ascorbic acid proteic metabolism photocondution photovoltaic characteristics and the height B of the Schottky barrier at the interface photoactive region, it is necessary to take into account both the tunnelling and the recombination effects of the minority carriers and the influence of the imagine forces in the spatial charge region on the potential barrier. The photoelectrical measurements accomplished at room temperature for all the studied samples, have also made evident an interesting aspect of the photovoltaic behaviour at the Al / p+ pChl-Cu structure, namely, the appearence of a negative photoconduction phenomenon, corresponding to an illumination time of the sample ranging in the interval 1.5...2 min. During the experiments and for a time interval of approximately t 2 min, the negative photoconduction phenomenon ungergoes a saturation process, passing in a positive photoconduction regime with the establishing of the photovoltaic parameters. Thus, there have been found similitudes between the photoelectric behaviuor of this photosystem type and the specific electro-optical behavior of the electronical devices with charge transfer used as image sensors in the information optical processing. On taking into account this idea, the paper presents a means by which such a structure could be used to detect some noxious elements favouring some neuroviral epidemics: noxious elements (1) UCD (0.670 0.820 )V, JL (18 25 ) mA/ cm2 (2) neuroviral epidemics.

In many laboratories, offices and home rooms there exist devices and equipments working in the radio frequency (RF) and microwave bands. People working with these equipments may be exposed to electromagnetic fields of high density which can produce adverse effects on human health. It is necessary to perform measurements on scattered field, especially in the region where the power density may reach dangerous levels for occupational personnel and people living in the neighborhood. The equipments subjected to measurements are: microwave generator for supply a Transversal Electromagnetic (TEM) exposure cell; wireless communication devices; power microwave generator for plasma excitation; microwave oven and different mobile phones. In this work we report experimental data of measurements and a comparison of these results with the most recent protection standards.

The physico-chemical properties of three grafted pullulans (P) bearing poly(3acrylamidopropyl)trimethylammonium chloride (pAPTAC) side chains (P-g-pAPTAC1, P-g-pAPTAC2 and P-g-pAPTAC3 with 22.53, 29.05, and 34.51 (wt. %) of pAPTAC content in polymer, respectively) and possessing polyelectrolyte character are determined by light scattering analysis. All grafted pullulan aqueous solutions are tested in the presence of NaCl, KCl, NaNO3 or KNO3. The biggest associations are recorded in 0.5 M NaCl aqueous solutions for P-g-pAPTAC1, P-g-pAPTAC2 and Pg-pAPTAC3 according to the maximum values for radius of gyration Rg extracted from batch mode multiangle laser light scattering (MALLS) measurements. Also, the positive values of second virial coefficient A2 reinforced the idea that salted aqueous solutions are good solvents for grafted pullulans and ensure laser light scattering measurements in proper conditions. The liniar shape of Zimm plots (Berry formalism) revealed that all grafted pullulans are quasimonodisperse.

Fig. 1: Chemical structure of grafted pullulans and Zimm plot for P-g-pAPTAC1 in 0.5M KNO3 aqueous solution.

Analysis of Debye and conformational plots for grafted pullulans suggest that the low molecular salts determine the macromolecular chains to adopt different conformations in those aggregates, especially the random coil ones, similar to pure pullulan. The study of solution properties of polymers using a noninvasive method such as laser light scattering offers the opportunity to consequently explore these pullulans for applications such as drug carriers, desalinization and purification of wasted waters or extensively fertilized soils.

Suspended particles of various morphologies dispersed in viscoelastic liquids form the basis of many products and product precursors of industrial and commercial interest, particularly polymer composites. This type of materials is obtained through the combination of materials with different structural, physical and chemical properties. The optimum design of composite component materials and manufacturing process to meet the target properties for specific engineering application is very important. The final properties of reinforced polymers are determined by the properties and content of components, dimensions of components and micro structure of composite and interfacial interactions between matrix and dispersed phase. The efficiency of properties improvements depends strongly on the characteristics of the filler, but also on the adhesion and interfacial properties between matrix and filler. This work presents the preparation routes of some polystyrene/barium titanate nanocomposites and their surface characterization. The dispersion of the metallic inclusions is achieved by ulltrasonication and homogenization of the system where the matrix is inserted is done by magnetic stirring. The surface tension is evaluated by means of contact angle method. The polar and dispersion component are slightly influenced by the composition of the introduced nanoinclusions. Also, the work of spreading allows determination of adhesion properties between the two phases. These aspects are conformed by the data derived from atomic force microscopy measurements.

Polymer nanocomposites are the new class of hybrid materials, which are widely used at industrial level, due to their unique multifunctional and highly enhanced properties. Combination of filler nanoscale dimension and high aspect ratio with its nanoscale dispersion within polymer matrix leads to the significant improvements in the polymer properties at very low filler volume fractions. This paper presents the synthesis of some new nanocomposites by solution processing technique at room temperature. The stable nanosuspensions are casted on smooth substrates and dried in saturated solvent atmosphere. The resulting films are characterized by different approaches in order to evaluate some basis thermophysical properties. The morphology and local surface properties are analyzed by atomic force microscopy, revealing the influence of filler loading on the adhesion and phase contrast. The initial relatively sooth surface of the matrix is modified by the presence of the nanoparticles as reflected by the recorded values of root mean square roughness. The dielectric properties of the investigated nanocomposites are determined using Maxwell-Garnett and Lichtenecker methods. Thermal conductivity is determined by considering that this parameter is a function of composition. The good dielectric and heat transfer features of the nanocomposites here under analysis recommend them as potential candidates for high power electronics.

Polymer-clay hybrid systems are successfully employed in a wide variety of industrial and academic applications, such as adsorbents for organic pollutants, pharmaceutical and cosmetic additives, water treatment, catalysts, reinforcing fillers for plastics, rheological control agents, nanocomposites, etc. [1]. Intercalation of polymer chains between the clay platelets, even below the tactoids level, gives rise to molecular ordering that changes both chains conformation and mobility, with respect to the bulk phase. A series of novel hybrid composites made of a ternary copolyamide and different clays (bentonite BTN, montmorillonite MMT and an organically modified clay I.30P) was obtained and subsequently studied in order to understand the interaction between matrix and clay particles. All composites were prepared via direct melt compounding using a HAAKE RHEOCORD 9000 mixer, equipped with two internal roller mixers and having the capacity of the mixing chamber of 50 cm3. This paper presents data concerning the thermal behaviour of the new hybrid composites studied by means of DSC and TGA. DSC results revealed that the main temperatures (Tg, Tc, Tm) of the hybrid composites slightly decreased compared to neat copolyamide. Clay particles act as nucleating agents and conne the movement of macromolecular chains, resulting in the decrease of crystallinity and Tg. As for the melt blending process, the parameters need further optimization in order to favor the intercalation of polymer chains within the clay tactoids, so clay particles don`t remain dispersed on a micrometer scale. This produced an increase in the free volume of the polymer, decrese of crystallinity, thus lowering the Tg of the hybrid composite materials.

Fig. 1: TG (left) and DTG (right) curves for neat coPA and its nanocomposites: coPA (red), coPA-BTN (green), coPA-K10 (violet) and coPA-I.30P (blue)

Thermogravimetry (TG) analysis results indicated that the presence of clay additives increased the thermally stability of copolyamide upon incorporation of only 5 wt% clay (thermal stability of samples: coPA-K10>coPABTN>coPA-I.30P>coPA). This behaviour is explained by the copolyamide stabilization with transition metals present in clays as impurities and by superior insulating features of layered silicates, well known as effective barriers to volatile byproducts generated during decomposition.

INFLUENCE OF COMPOSITION AND PROCESSING ON THE PROPERTIES OF SOME POLYAMIDE-POLYPROPYLENE BLENDS

Polymer blends have attracted increasing attention from the R&D community due to their improved properties compared to raw polymers. Polyamide-polyolefin blends are of interest because both components are relatively cheap, versatile due to their properties, and are easily processable by melting. They are a successful example in terms of blending incompatible polymers in presence of compatibilizing agents. Simple blends are, usually, characterized by low dispersion of phases, high interfacial tension and poor adhesion. Use of compatibilizers favours the interfacial interactions during melt processing due to their chemical or/and physical interactions with polymers. The paper presents some correlations between the composition and properties of some polyamide-polypropylene blends. A series of blends were prepared using a ternary copolyamide (coPA) and isotactic polypropylene (PP), with or without compatibilizer, namely maleic anhydride functionalized isotactic polypropylene (PP-g-MA). Blends processing, thermal behaviour and morphology of were studied in order to establish the compatibility window. The obtained data showed the incompatibility of the binary coPA/PP blends. The good processability, due to the high melt flow index of coPA and increased mobility of PP macromolecules, was improved even more by compatibilization, which is an advantage when it comes to polymer waste recovery. Evaluation of processing and thermal behaviour indicated that up to 20 wt% coPA can be incorporated in PP and the morphology study confirmed the enhanced homogeneity of compatibilized blends.

SHEAR THINNING/STRUCTURE RELATIONSHIP AND BIOCOMPATIBILITY STUDIES OF QUATERNIZED POLYSULFONE/POLY(VINYLIDENE FLUORIDE) BLENDS

Blends of quaternized polysulfones with triphenylphosphonium pendant groups/poly(vinylidene fluoride) were analyzed for establishing their impact on the rheological and surface properties, as well as their interactions with some blood compounds. The flow behavior of the solutions, obtained in N,N-dimethylformamide for different compositions of the blend system, presents a shear thinning profile, while the loss modulus is dominant for the viscous domain of oscillations. Moreover, blend compositions of the corresponding films influence the surface tension parameters, increasing blend hydrophobicity and, implicitly, decreasing the polar surface tension parameters. The hydrophobic character of the films is predominant, being given both by the small dipole moment corresponding to the poly(vinylidene fluoride) structure, and by the triphenylphosphonium groups from modified polysulfone. Furthermore, because of the different interactions present in the systems, the electron donor interactions exceed the electron acceptor ones for all samples. The specific surface characteristics of polymer blends, such as wetting and adhesion, are related to their interactions with some blood constituents (Fig. 1). In this context, the spreading work values indicated that the red blood cells and platelets manifest a pronounced cohesion in both cases. At the same time, the PSFP/PVDF blends do not interact with platelets, thus preventing the activation of coagulation at the blood/biomaterial interface. Because the PSFP/PVDF blends would not cause any damage of blood cells, they may be suitable for bio-applications, especially in tissue engineering.

The rheological properties and morphological aspects of the quaternized polysulfones (PSF-DMOA), synthesized by the quaternization reaction of chloromethylated polysulfone (6.58 % chlorine content) with tertiary amine -N,Ndimethyloctylamine (DMOA), are studied in DMF/methanol (MeOH) and DMF/water solvent/nonsolvent mixtures at different compositions. Different obtained parameters, such as activation energy, and the rheological functions (dynamic viscosity versus shear rate, elastic and viscous shear moduli versus frequence) justify the appearance of thinning phenomenon in solvent mixture. In this context, there are established that the polymer solutions exhibit in some cases a Newtonian behavior or, in other cases, a thinning effect, revealing the importance of temperature and nature of chlorometilate polysulfone substituent, along with solvent mixture composition, in specific molecular rearrangement of the system. Also, atomic force microscopy shows influence of mixed solvents on the morphological properties. Increasing the MeOH content in the casting solution decreases average surface roughness and favors the increase of pore number and of their characteristics area, depth, diameter and mean width, whereas a higher water content decreases the thermodynamic quality of the DMF/water solvent mixtures, so that, for 60/40% v/v DMF/water, average surface roughness, the number of pores and their depths take maximum values within a minimum area. The obtained informations allowed optimization of different properties required for applications of quaternized polysulfones, for examples, as biomaterials and semipermeable membranes.

Miscibility of poly(N-vinylcarbazole) PVK with different low-molecular compounds bearing nitroaromatic groups was studied by differential scanning calorimetry DSC. The PVK from Sigma-Aldrich (secondary standard, M n = 2500050000 g/mol, polydispersity index about 2) was an electron donor polymer frequently used to design electroluminescent devices or photorefractive materials, but monofuctional and bifunctional nitroaromatic compounds (4,4dinitrodibenzyl DNDB, ethylene glycol-bis(3,5-dinitrobenzoate) DDNBEG and acetate (-hidroxyetyl-3,5-dinitrobenzoate) AHEDNB) were synthesized in Petru Poni Institute. The molar blends were casted from solution, and than analyzed with a Pyris Diamond DSC (Perkin Elmer, U.S.A.) instrument. Thermal behavior of the samples has considered physical processes such as melting and glass transition.

Fig. 1: Chemical structures of PVK and electron acceptors.

The DSC curves suggested that the specific parameters of DNDB (melting temperature Tm and heat of melting Hm) were varied in accordance with blend composition and this fact was due to the miscibility between PVK and DNDB. In the cases of PVK blends with DDNBEG or AHEDNB, the charge transfer interactions from solution blends does not effectively preserved in solid state (because of solvent evaporation) and were masked by a plasticizing effect.

The enhancement of oral bioavailability is one of the greatest challenges in the development of poorly watersoluble drugs. The need of polymeric carriers permitting controlled release of a desired drug following oral administration has led to the screening of a large variety of synthetic and natural polymers. In oral solid dosage forms, hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) is widely used as binder due to its excellent physico-chemical characteristics combined with mucoadhesive properties. This is an odorless and tasteless, white to slightly off-white, fibrous or granular, free-flowing powder that is a synthetic modification of the natural polymer, cellulose. The reason for its widespread acceptance include (1) solubility characteristics of the polymer in gastrointestinal fluid, and in organic and aqueous solvent systems, (2) noninterference with tablet disintegration and drug availability, (3) flexibility, chip resistance and absence of taste and odor, (4) stability in the presence of heat, light, air or reasonable levels of moisture, (5) ability to incorporate color and other additives into the film without difficulty. This paper reports the in vitro evaluation of glucose release from the HPC foils. The dependence of the glucose release profile from HPC is made for different drug content from the polymer matrix. The mechanism involved in drug release process is evaluated using KorsmeyerPeppas empirical equation. The surface tension is determined by contact angle measurements using the sessile drop technique with different liquids and the changes induced by the glucose on the surface polarity are analyzed.

Controlling and switching the chiroptical properties of polymers is of continued interest because of potential applications in sensor data storage, optical devices, and liquid crystalline displays. Chiroptical switch can be controlled by temperature, solvent, additives, irradiation, and electron redox, with thermo-driven chiroptical switching polymers being the most extensively studied. The present work investigates the chiroptical properties of isotropic solutions of a polysaccharide in different solvents. Their effect on specific rotation is plotted in Fig. 1.

The molecular rotation is evaluated from specific rotation and molecular mass of the structural unit. The dispersion of the molecular rotation offers information regarding the conformational changes or Cotton effect. Knowledge and understanding of the nature of the optical activity of such polymers might constitute a bridge between artificial polymers and biopolymers and will assist in designing and controlling new types of helical structures.

In this paper, we present theoretical and experimental results of the spin-coating process in order to obtain polyamide 6 thin films with interesting optical properties. Polyamide 6 thin films, obtained from various solution concentrations, were deposited by spin-coating method, using different rotation speeds. Morphologic properties of these films have been investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Analysis revealed that spin-coated films have a thickness dependent on solution concentration and its viscosity, rotation speed and also rotation time. In order to explain morphologic properties, a theoretical model that agrees with our experimental results have been developed, by means of multi-scale type theories.

The present paper studies the electrical conductivity modulus of polyamide 6 (PA6) carbon nanotubes (CNT) nanowebs, obtained by electrospinning process. Three different treatments (chemical, mechanical and mixed) were applied to the CNT in order to prepare the electrospinning solutions. For each of the applied treatments, the CNT contain was varied: 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%. A pristine PA6 sample was used to compare the influence of the CNT contain on the dielectric behaviour of the samples. The influence of both the applied treatment and the CNT contain was investigated by analysing the broadband dielectric spectroscopy of the samples. The experimental result of the behaviour of the electrical conductivity modulus |Sig| ( ) is theoretically explained.

Carbon laser produced plasma has been extensively studied in the past years due to its large potential applicability showed for the carbon allotropes (nanotubes, fullerenes and grapheme) that can be obtained in pulsed laser deposition systems. Since the properties of the resulted thin films depend on the plasma parameters, monitoring of plasma expansion process brings additional information on the thin film growing mechanism. In the present paper, using an electrostatic energy analyzer (a 3-grids Faraday cup at various biasing voltages) in both, time-of-flight (TOF) and retarding field analyzer (RFA) modes, respectively, some plasma parameters are derived from monitoring the ion species. The plasma has been generated by excimer laser ablation of the graphite in vacuum, at various laser fluences in a low laser fluence regime (< 5 J/cm2), i.e. in the usual range for thin films deposition. In TOF mode, the plasma temperature (112 eV) and centre of mass velocity (103104 m/s) evolutions have been derived. In RFA mode, a charge separation phenomenon was evidenced. TOF spectra recorded for different applied retarding voltage present separated peaks whose corresponding time values increase with the applied voltage. Moreover, a reheating effect of the plasma was evidenced as a consequence of decelerated and reflected ions.

Chuas circuit is considered a cornerstone in nonlinear electronic circuit. It is the simplest electronic circuit exhibiting chaos, as verified from numerous laboratory experiments, computer simulations and rigorous mathematical analysis. A Chua circuit must include at least 5 circuit elements. Four elements are linear passive electrical components: an inductance, a resistance and two capacitances. The fifth element is a nonlinear element, powered by a battery, characterized by a current-voltage characteristic whose slope must be negative somewhere on the curve. Here we report on the nonlinear dynamics analysis of a Chua circuit, schematically represented in Fig. 1. By using a variable resistor, we obtained different dynamical regimes of the oscillator, including regular oscillations, sub-harmonic bifurcations and chaos. In order to control the dynamics of the circuit, we applied a sinusoidal signal on the transistor Q1 (see Fig. 1). By changing the amplitude or the frequency of this signal we can control the dynamics of the circuit, even if this dynamics is chaotic. The obtained results are very important for the synchronization of two chaotic oscillators and secure communication (transmission of chaotic encoded data).

There is an increasing interest in the use of metal nanoparticles for a variety of biological applications including their use as contrast agents, delivery vehicles and therapeutics. An important feature of metal nanoparticles for such applications is their biocompatibility, thus choosing the synthesizing agents becomes an important task. The main purpose of this study was to develop a novel method of synthesizing silver and gold nanoparticles by using entirely biocompatible materials that do not cause tissue toxicity to the organism. The here proposed nanoparticles are therefore coated in glucose, which is a polysaccharide that is actively sought out by cells. This should also give these nanoparticles the ability to be internalized more easily by most cells [1]. The nanoparticles were characterized using UV-Vis, TEM and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. From the UV-Vis spectra we gathered that the silver nanoparticles have a diameter of about 85 nm and an absorption maximum at 468 nm. The gold nanoparticles, on the other hand, could be synthesized so that their diameter could be controlled in between the 20-50 nm range in accordance to the synthesizing conditions used and they had an absorption maximum at about 540 nm. In the past years, SERS has been used in different bio-medical applications as a spectroscopic detection tool. From the acquired SERS spectra we could easily observe that the nanoparticles are highly active for a wide range of analytes as shown for rose bengal (Rb), crystal violet (CV), rhodamine 6G (R6G) and cresyl violet (CrV) in Fig. 1, at micromolar analyte concentrations. It was found that both types of nanoparticles exhibited a SERS enhancement comparable to conventional metal colloids.

Fig. 1: SERS spectra of several analytes at 10-6 M concentrations.

Given the fact that these nanoparticles can be easily functionalized with different ligands and given their high SERS activity, they should provide a viable method for biodetection by means of SERS spectroscopy.

Protein aggregation process is a complex biological phenomenon triggered by physical and chemical agents. Lately, this phenomenon is related to some neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease or Creutzfeld Jacob disease. It is accepted that this phenomenon takes place during collective interaction of partially unfolded or misfolded protein molecules. Temperature is a physical agent largely used in order to induce protein aggregation in controlled and reproducible conditions. In this study we use the bovine serum albumin (BSA) capacity to self-assemble into amorphous or fibrilar during controlled heating, in order to test the effects of selected physical agents on protein powders or protein aqueous solutions. Thus, we report the action of an atmospheric pressure plasma jet in helium, of a pulsed laser beam with 266 nm wavelength and a 3 W/cm2 pulsed ultrasound field at 1 MHz. Using a broad spectrum of experimental parameters (e.g. power, exposure time) we modified the properties of BSA molecules. Then the protein solutions were subjected to controlled heating and the aggregation of proteins in solution was monitored by laser scattering (337 nm nitrogen laser). An exponential increase of scattered light intensity as function of elapsed time was found (Fig. 1).

Fig. 1: Typical kinetics of the thermal induced aggregation process as revealed by the intensity of the scattered laser radiation from protein solutions.

The aggregation curves are fitted using a compressed exponential function, and the parameters of this function being obtained from the analysis of experimental data using appropriate software. These parameters are represented by the value of the scattering signal at the end of the process, the characteristic time constant and the exponent of the function. Specific aspects of each energy source used in this study are stressed in relation with the protein aggregation capacity, after exposure to each physical agent.

In recent years nanoparticle synthesis has evolved substantially and now it is possible to control their shape, size and surface chemistry. Gold nanoparticles are one of the most important types of nanoparticles due to their applicability in live tissue as contrast agents, delivery vehicles, therapeutics etc., even though some of the coating agents can cause side effects (e.g. renal complications)[1]. In this study a new method for nanoparticle synthesis was developed. The nanoparticles were prepared at room temperature, their size being within the 50-150 nm range, varying with the experimental conditions.

Fig. 1: TEM images of hydroxylamine reduced GoldNPs.

The nanoparticles were characterized using UV-Vis, TEM and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. From the UV-Vis spectra we found that the absorption maximum of the large gold nanoparticles was at around 720 nm and at 536 nm for the small particles. TEM measurements revealed the popcorn shape of the nanoparticles. The smaller nanoparticles have shown an at least ten times higher SERS activity than the conventional citrate reduced gold nanoparticles . Moreover, it has been reported that nonspherical nanoparticles have longer biodisponibility than those with spherical shapes. Considering the nonspherical shape and the possibility to modify the surface with highly biocompatible molecules, the proposed gold nanoparticles could become important transporting vehicles for drugs like heparin, C-reactive protein etc. Furthermore, due to the fact that these nanoparticles can be functionalized with different ligands and their absorption maximum is in the NIR region they should provide a viable option for photothermal therapy too.

The electronic (absorption and fluorescence) spectra of 1,6 diphenyl-1,3,5 hexatriene (DPH) in some solvents were analysed from the mirror symmetry point of view. The electronic absorption spectra more shifted in the wavenumber scale and they can indicate the nature of the intermolecular interactions in DPH solutions. The influence of the solvent nature on of the changes in the DPH polarizability induced by excitation was established by the influence of the dispersive forces on the electronic absorption spectra.

The wavenumbers in the maximum of the visible intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) band of p-phenylpyridazinium-benzoyl-2, 4, 6 picril methylid (PPBPM) were used to characterize the first solvation shell of the spectrally active compound in ternary solutions achieved with hydroxyl solvents water, ethanol and methanol. The average statistic weights, p1 , the excess function, (1) , and the preferential solvation constant, k12 , were estimated on the basis of the solvatochromic effects of binary hydroxyl solvents water + ethanol and water + methanol in ternary diluted solutions of PPBPM.

The cycloimmonium ylids are important in pharmacy because they are precursors in obtaining new medicines and also they can be used as acid-basic indicators. The separation of each type of intermolecular interaction to the total spectral shift in each solvent can suggest new applications of these dipolar compounds in organic chemistry. The cycloimmonium ylids are zwitterionic compounds with a visible absorption band due to an intramolecular electronic transfer from the carbanion towards the heterocycle. This band is very sensitive to the solvent nature. So, cycloimmonium ylids are used as spectrally active molecules which offer information about the strength of the intermolecular interactions by the change of the electronic absorption spectra when these are passed from the gaseous phase to liquid state. In this paper the electronic absorption spectra of two cycloimmonium ylids in different aprotic and protic solvents were studied and the contribution of each type of intermolecular interactions to the spectral shifts was measured when the spectrally active substance is passed from the gaseous phase to solution.

The electronic absorption spectra of benzoyl-asparagic acid and p-amino-benzoyl-asparagine were also analysed. The influence of the substitutes of the benzenic ring on the wavelengths of the * absorption bands of the studied compounds has been established. The electronic absorption bands of the studied compounds in low concentrations solutions ( 210 mol/L) verify Lambert Beer law, proving the absence of the specific interactions between the solutions components and permiting a protocol for determination of the analysed substances concetrations in a given solution.

Metamerism in conservation-restoration is very important in terms of reintegration color paintings. Using synthetic pigments in the formation of mixtures restoration that will replace - colorimetric and spectral - lack pictorial layers has the advantage of being economical. The major disadvantage is the fact that reintegration interventions thus obtained are less noticeable and removed in violation of one of the principles of restoration, the reversibility of treatment.

FINEMET-TYPE THIN FILMS OBTAINED BY HIPIMS: INFLUENCE OF DEPOSITION CONDITIONS ON THE DEPOSITION RATE
Ioana-Laura Velicu, Vasile Tiron, Gheorghe Popa
Faculty of Physics, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, 700506, Iasi, Romania

High-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) is a promising, relatively new technique, which can be successfully used to grow high-quality amorphous thin films from a wide range of materials [1, 2]. Using HiPIMS, FeCuNbSiB amorphous thin films have been deposited from ribbons with the nominal composition Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si15.5B7. The depositions were performed in pure argon atmosphere, maintaining the gas flow at 20 sccm and the target-substrate distance at 6 cm. The influence of argon pressure, average power and pulse duration on the deposition rate of the films has been investigated. The thickness of the films was measured using an interferometric method. During the deposition process, electrical diagnosis was performed by recording the discharge current and voltage temporal evolution. The onset of the selfsputtering regime and the plasma composition change in front of the target were highlighted by using the time-resolved fast imaging technique. The obtained results showed that for an average power of 30 W and pulse duration of 4 s the deposition rate reaches a maximum value (3.8 nm/min) at 10 mTorr argon pressure. For the same pulse duration, the deposition rate increases about three times with the effective power increment from 30 W to 90 W. Instead, due to the self-sputtering process, for the same effective power, the deposition rate decreases with the pulse length increment. Significant changes of the current and voltage pulse shapes were observed. The ICCD images showed that during initial phase (1-4 s from applied voltage), in the plasma volume between cathode and substrate, the optical radiation is dominated by neutral Ar excited atoms emission, while the excited Fe atoms emission is almost negligible. For long pulse durations (20 s), the plasma radiation is dominated by the light of excited sputtered iron atoms and ions, while the light corresponding to argon excited state is very weak.

Uniaxial plates of solid crystalline substances are characterized by two principal refractive (ordinary and extraordinary) indices. When polarized light passes through uniaxial plate perpendicularly on the optical axis, its birefringence can be determined by compensation of the pathway introduced between the ordinary and extraordinary components of the incident linearly polarized light. In order to estimate the birefringence of the samples collected from Carpathian Mountains, we used both a Babinet Compensatory and a standardized optical wedge in order to compensate the pathway at 589.3 nm introduced by layers cut perpendicular on their optical axis.

Iasi is a municipality from North-Eastern part of Romania and one of the largest cities in the country. Being a city in continuous development, several urban projects were started in the spring of 2012, with the purpose of improving the citys infrastructure and restoration of some cultural buildings and parks. Urban and industrial aerosols type is a major component of the tropospheric aerosol load over IASI LOA-SL site monitoring station (47N, 27E). This study presents the results from optical properties analysis (May 2012 - February 2013 period) on biomass-burning, urban aerosols mixtures and Saharan dust by means of lidar and sun-photometer measurements. In order to both identify and categorize the biomass burning types influences, Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) Version 2 data criteria (Level 1.5, solar zenith angle larger than 50o and retrieval error less than 5%) have been used to compute parameters such as: optical thickness, spectral dependence of ngstrm exponent (), spectral dependence of Single Scattering Albedo and the dominating size mode. Both biomass burning and urban-industrial aerosols are characterized by very small particles, so that ne mode is predominating in the particle size distribution. The decreasing of Single Scattering Albedos total average with the increasing of the wavelength (440, 675, 870, 1020 nm) from 0.95 ( 0.1) to 0.81 ( 0.1) agree on dominant aerosol type (Fig. 1).

Depending on the space-time chemical composition, sources type activity or process, meteorological conditions, air pollutants (both organic and inorganic compounds), generally the air pollution causes significant damage to human health and environment and dramatically influencing the climate changes. As a complementary approach to the satellite measurement spectral data, ground based instruments as Sunphotometer, Radiometer, DOAS, LIDAR & DIAL, massspectroscopy & shadowgraphy - laser matter desorption, in a variety of configurations are extensively developed and some of these must be improved even to obtain UV-IR image remote investigated ice nucleation layer-atmospheric pattern, as following will be proposed in this paper. Moreover, in order to better understanding the fundamental of some critical physico-chemical transformation of the atmosphere compounds but also for applications point of view, we propose a new LIDAR power instrument as is shown in Fig. 1.

We investigate the influence of white Gaussian noise on the fluctuations of light intensity emitted by the localized space charge structures in the plasma of a symmetrical discharge. Both the original and FFT filtered time-series were analyzed using the multifractal analysis. In the range of noise intensity considered, the multifractality strength is influenced by the noise, at all values of the inter-anode voltage. In the case of filtered data, the shuffling analysis demonstrates that the multifractality is purely a consequence of the correlations of the fluctuations. The position of the maximum in the singularity spectra is significantly influenced by noise. The multifractal detrended cross correlation between light intensity and current intensity demonstrates that the fluctuations in both cases are generated by the same physical processes. The change between the autocorrelation characteristics of the original and filtered series is remarkable: while the original series are positively correlated, the filtered series are negatively correlated. Based on the the fact that FFT filtering preserves the behavior of the discharge plasma in respect of the noise, we present a consistent validity test supporting the application of this type of filtering for removing the harmonic trend.

The changes induced by the solvent nature in fluorescence spectra of some 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) solutions were explained by molecular dynamic simulations. Concomitantly some quantum-mechanical calculations were made in order to obtain the electro-optical parameters of DPH. The simulations emphasized the auto-aggregation processes of DPH and THF multicomponent solutions.

Optogenetics is the combination of genetics and optics to control well-defined events within specific cells of living tissue. It includes the discovery and insertion into cells of genes that confer light responsiveness; it also includes the associated technologies for delivering light deep into organisms as complex as freely moving mammals, for targeting lightsensitive cells of interest, and for assessing specific readouts, or effects, of this optical control. Optogenetics necessarily includes 1) the development of genetic targeting strategies such as cell-specific promoters or other customized conditionally-active viruses, to deliver the light-sensitive probes to specific populations of neurons in the brain of living animals and 2) hardware (e.g. integrated fiberoptic and solid-state light sources) to allow specific cell types, even deep within the brain, to be controlled in freely behaving animals. Most commonly, the latter is now achieved using the fiberoptic-coupled diode technology introduced in 2007. To stimulate superficial brain areas such as the cerebral cortex, optical fibers or LEDs can be directly mounted to the skull of the animal. More deeply implanted optical fibers have been used to deliver light to deeper brain areas. A fiber optic based probe was developed to control/visualize neuronal activity deep in the brain of awake behaving animals. In this design a thin multimode optical fiber serves as the head of the probe to be inserted into the brain. This fiber is used to deliver excitation/stimulation optical pulses and guide a sample of the emission signal back to a detector. This is an example of how physics and engineering back up fundamental biological research and discovery.

National Institute of Research and Development for Technical Physics, 47 Mangeron Blvd., Iasi, Romania, gababei@phys-iasi.ro

Glass coated amorphous magnetic microwires (GCAW) known as soft magnetic materials are intensively studied due to their large utilization in magnetic field sensors and electromagnetic (EM) shielding application 2. The development of amorphous microwires with multilayer structure is a new research field with numerous potential applications in the field of electromagnetic shields and smart composite materials to realize multifunctional materials for structural health monitoring. The glass coated amorphous wires have been prepared by drawing from CoFe-based melted alloy as continuous filaments with the diameter of the metallic nucleus ranging from m= 16 m to m= 64 m and glass thickness ranging from Gth= 7.25 m to Gth= 35 m. The multilayered GCAW are obtained from as-cast GCAW subsequently coated by RF sputtering deposition followed by electrochemical deposition with a Cu layer. The aim of this paper is to investigate the electromagnetic shielding properties in the microwave range of multilayers GCAW in order to develop an absorbent material with selective electromagnetic shielding properties based on these wires type. The structure, size and magnetic properties of MAW were investigated by SEM microscopy and VSM technique, respectively. The experimental set-ups used for high frequency characterisations involve the utilisation of the coaxial transmission line method and two horn antenna connected to a vector network analyzer2.

Atractii turistice
Rezervatia Dealul Repedea Situata la 9 Km de Iasi, a fost infiintata in 1953, fiind prima rezervatie geologica din tara, Zona rezervatiei este de fapt o portiune din fundul Marii Sarmatice ce a existat acum 20 milioane de ani, dovada fiind fauna fosila din rocile calcaroase de aici. Gradina Botanica Prima Gradina Botanica din Iasi a fost infiintata in 1856 de medicul si naturalistul Anastasie Fatu. Actuala Gradina Botanica a fost infiintata aproximativ un secol mai tirziu, in 1963. Un loc favorit al vizitatorilor il reprezinta rozariul, unde sunt peste 800 de specii de trandafiri din diferite zone ale globului. Manastirea Cetatuia Minastirea Cetatuia este una din cele mai frumoase opere de arta bisericeasca din Moldova. A fost ctitorita de Duca Voda intre 1668-1672. Aici a functionat o cunoscuta tiparnita cu litere grecesti, adusa de la Venetia, in care au fost tiparite multe carti pentru crestinii din Orient. Teatrul National Vasile Alecsandri Teatrul a fost inaugurat in 1896, fiind una din cele mai frumoase cladiri de acest gen din tara. Uzina electrica a teatrului, pusa in functiune o data cu deschiderea tetrului, a reprezentat inceputul iluminatului electric la Iasi. Aici pot fi admirate opere de arta cum sunt: candelabrul din cristal de Venetia sau plafonul pictat de Al. Goltz. Palatul Culturii Lucrarile de constructie au inceput in 1906 iar inaugurarea a avut loc in 1926, in prezenta regelui Ferdinand al Romaniei. Putem admira orologiul, format dintr-un ansamblu de opt clopote ce reproduc, din ora in ora, Hora Unirii sau celebrele sali, Sala Voievozilor si Sala Gotica. Impresionanta cladire este astazi sediul Muzeului de Istorie a Moldovei, Muzeului Etnografic, Muzeului de Arta si al Muzeului Stiintei si Tehnici. Casa Memoriala Vasile Pogor Cladirea este monument de arhitectura si a fost construita de vornicul V. Pogor, intre 1855-1858. A fost locuinta acestuia si apoi sediul Societatii Junimea si al revistei Convorbiri Literare. In aceasta casa, Titu Maiorescu a citit, in 1870, pentru prima oara poezia Venere si Madona a lui Mihai Eminescu, necunoscut la acea vreme. In acesta cladire se afla azi Muzeul Literaturii Ramane. Biserica Sf. Nicolae Domnesc 58
