Ab-initio calculation of structural electronic and thermodynamic properties of zinc-blende structure: ZnTe, MgTe and their Zn1-x MgxTe ternary alloys

Tairi Latifa,
2023-03-20

Résumé: The First-principles calculations are performed to study the structural, electronic and thermodynamic properties of Zn1-xMgxTe ternary alloys using the full potential-linearized augmented plane wave method (FP-LAPW) within the density functional theory (DFT). In this approach generalized gradient approximation (PBE-GGA) was used for the exchange-correlation potential. The dependence of the lattice constant bulk modulus and band gap on the composition x was analyzed. The lattice constant for Zn1-xMgxTe alloys exhibits a small deviation from the Vegard’s law. A marginal deviation of the bulk modulus from linear concentration dependence LCD was observed for these alloys. The bowing of the fundamental gap versus composition predicted by our calculations is in good agreement with available theoretical data. The microscopic origins of the gap bowing were explained by using the approach of Zunger and co-workers. To achieve the energy eigen values convergence, the plane wave expansion with RMT Kmax equal to 8.0 was used where RMT is the smallest radii of the muffin-tin spheres and Kmax lmax the cut-off for the wave function basis. The RMT values muffin-tin radii were taken to be 2.25, 2.40 and 2.50 a.u for the B.N and as atoms, respectively. The maximum value for the angular momentum quantum, lmax =10 is utilised for the valence wave function expansion inside the atomic spheres, while the charge density was Fourier expanded up to Gmax =12 (Ryd)1/2. A mesh of 72 and 36 special K-points for the binary compounds and the ternary alloys respectively, were taken in the irreducible wedge of the Brillouin zone for the total energy calculation. Other macroscopic properties such as the function of pressure and temperature are presented in this paper and derived using the standard thermodynamic relations. The thermodynamic stability of this alloy was investigated by calculating the excess enthalpy of mixing, Hm as well as the phase diagram by calculating the critical temperatures, heat capacity and the entropy.

STUDY AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MULTI-CRYSTALLINE SILICON INGOT

Kerkar Fouad,
2022-11-09

Résumé: The multi-crystalline silicon (mc-Si) produced with directional solidification is still dominating the photovoltaic industry. It is the best way to get high solar cell efficiencies with low production cost. The quality of wafers produced affects directly the conversion efficiency of obtained solar cell. The multi-crystalline silicon ingot is grown by extract Heat from the bottom of the crucible by opening the insulation and move down the heat exchanger block from the heat zone (HEM). Therefore, the solid-liquid interface moves upwards from the bottom to top of the crucible. The growth rate is controlled to favor the growth of a high quality crystal structure by adjusting the position of the crucible and the heater power. The goal is to obtain vertically aligned grains which indicate good directional growth. In this paper, the wafer quality will be mainly studied by the lifetime variation of minority carries and resistivity as a function of wafer position. This analysis was investigated using a quasi-stationary photo conductance QSSPC technique. The ingot produced with HEM technic has shown the good uniform large grain cm-size with vertically-oriented grain boundaries.

Résumé: Naphthalene is an organic chemical, with two united benzene rings. It is a residue of petroleum refining processes. It has a stable structure and is resistant to reaction. It is highly toxic and has a known negative effect on the respiratory system. In order to reduce this negative effect, we want to add a chlorine atom to its structure to turn it into mono chloronaphthalene instead of naphthalene, to be less toxic, less diffuse in the air, and nonvolatile substance. Therefore, this work aims to determine the appropriate conditions, reaction time, and most effective catalyst from the list of H3PO4, AlCl3, Al2O3, and Mo/Al2O3 under naphthalene melting temperature (80°C). Results show that Mo/Al2O3is the most effective catalyst, but after 150 minutes of reaction, AlCl3 comes next in effectiveness in the reaction time range from 60 to 150 minutes.

Removal of Pharmaceutical Pollutants using a Membrane Hybrid Matrix

Nadour Meriem,
2022-11-03

Résumé: In this work, hybrid carbon-polymeric membranes were synthesized by an immersion-precipitation method using polysulfone (PSf) as the membrane matrix, methylcellulose (MC) as pore forming agent and commercial powdered activated carbon (PAC) as inorganic adsorbent additive. All the components were dissolved in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) to prepare the casting solutions. The surface hydrophilicity of the prepared membranes was determined by measuring water contact angle. The effect of methycellulose and activated carbon on the morphology of the membranes was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Hybrid membranes performances were tested in terms of water permeability and rejection of selected pharmaceuticals at a concentration of 10 ppm. Results showed that the hydrophilicity of the hybrid membranes was improved by methylcellulose and activated carbon component. The asymmetric structure of the prepared membranes was more porous by adding activated carbon. The water permeability of the hybrid membranes was better than non-hybrid ones. A high rejection rate was obtained with hybrid carbon-polymeric membranes compared with membranes without carbon.

Résumé: The semiconductors II-VI play more important role in electronic and optoelectronic devices. Mixing of binary semiconductor II-VI provides new semiconductor alloys and diversiﬁes the physical properties such as band gap, lattice matching, and dielectric constant. Therefore, to investigate the structural, electronic and thermodynamic properties of ZnX and BeX (X=Se and Te) in zinc-blend phase, we have performed first principles calculations using full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method within the density functional theory (DFT). We used both the Wu-Cohen (WC-GGA) and the Engel-Vosko generalized gradient (EV-GGA) approximations of the exchange-correlation energy that are based on the optimization of the total energy and the corresponding potential, respectively. The equilibrium lattice constants and bulk modulus are in good agreement with the experimental and available theoretical data. The electronic band structures for these binary compounds are studied. Furthermore, the thermal properties such as Debye temperature (θD), heat specific, and volume expansion coefficient (α) were investigated by employing the quasi-harmonic Debye model. Our results are compared with other calculations and experimental measurements.

2023-06-20

Résumé: Polyethylene polymer (PE), is one of the major bulk polymers which is a widely consumed in various applications and it is used as cable coating. The interest of this work is to study the change that can be induced by storage conditions and gamma radiation up to 50 KGy. For this reason, PE compound employed in the manufacture of low and medium voltage electrical cable coating were used, it was dated from: 2015 and 2017. The resin was stored in bags under ambient conditions. Dumbbell samples were prepared and submitted to γ-rays up 50 KGy. Physical, mechanical (tensile strength, elongation at break and Young’s modulus), thermal and morphological characterization was performed on the latter to evaluate the effect of storage. Then, the same characterization was carried out on PE/2017 and PE/2015 compound irradiated. The mechanical, thermal and morphological results showed the mediocre properties of PE/2015 compared to PE/2017, these results revealed that the period of storage has an effect on the properties of PE due to the chain scission, unlike the gamma radiation effect. At 50 KGy, the mechanical, thermal and morphological properties of PE/2015 are improved, which gives a new material resistance and regenerates its properties lost during 3 years of storage.

Rheological behavior and compressive strength of sustainable self-compacting mortar incorporating ceramic and glass waste powders

بوخلخال ابوبكر,
2022-07-04

Résumé: The purpose of this experimental investigation is to examine the effect of ceramic and glass waste powders as partial cement substitution on the rheological properties and compressive strength of sustainable self-compacting mortar. Nine mixtures have been tested, one as reference mixture and includes only Ordinary Portland cement (OPC), and eight including different proportions of ceramic and glass powders (5, 15, 25 and 50%). The rheology test was carried out to determine yielded stress and plastic viscosity of fresh mortar. Compressive strength was also measured at 28 and 90 days. Experimental results demonstrate that replacing part of cement caused a reduction of the rheological properties, exception for CP in which substitution levels inferior to 25% slightly increased the yield stress. Using GP with 25% resulted in 28 days-compressive strength superior by about 3% to that of the plain cement.

Résumé: La sulfanilamide a été choisie comme composé modèle afin de saisir le phénomène de stabilité de ce type de composé médicamenteux à partir de critères énergétiques. L’évolution thermique de la sulfanilamide comme polymorphisme révèle une endothermie à 162,7 °C qui correspond au point de fusion. Entre 400 et 600 °C la sulfanilamide se décompose suite à l’enthalpie de chauffe suivant un mécanisme radicalaire. Par contre, l’impact électronique indique deux profiles de fragmentation: Le schéma similaire à la piste thermodynamique. Par contre le deuxième schéma est issu vraisemblablement d’un réarrangement de fragments dans la chambre d’ionisation.

Development and optimization of biopolymeric microparticles: application of the gelation process by emulsification and characterization

Tidmimt Takfarinas, Kessal Fetta,
2022-11-02

Résumé: In this work, we developed an internal emulsification gelation process to prepare biopolymeric microparticles with desired characteristics. This process is known to be complex and difficult to optimize. It consists in the cross-linking of sodium alginate by calcium ions encapsulating fenofibrate, an active pharmaceutical ingredient of interest. To reach our objectives, we studied the influence of formulation and process parameters on their physical properties and the release profiles of the fenofibrate they contain. Fenofibrate release performance in both simulated fluids of gastric (SGF) pH = 1.2 and intestinal (SIF) pH = 6.8 was studied. The results obtained showed prolonged and pH-dependent release profiles for all formulations. The concentration of the polymer C1 and the concentration of the cross-linking agent C2 were the most influential parameters. Likewise, freeze-drying process was selected to obtain optimum residual humidity and individualized microparticles.

Résumé: Notre travail porte sur la synthèse et l’élaboration de nouveaux emballages biodégradables issus de ressources renouvelables. Elle consiste à évaluer l’influence de la teneur en cellulose microcristalline (MCC) sur les propriétés barrières de films obtenus à partir de mélanges d’amidon de maïs et de cellulose microcristalline. Les films préparés par casting, pour différentes formulations, sont homogènes, opaques, minces et lisses, présentant une bonne cohésion et sans défauts visuels. Les propriétés des films ont été déterminées par différentes techniques (La spectroscopie FT-IR, l’UV-visible, l’isotherme de sorption et la perméabilité à la vapeur d’eau). Les résultats obtenus, avec une faible teneur en cellulose microcristalline, mettent en évidence une amélioration des propriétés. Les formulations contenant 10% de cellulose microcristalline présentent d’excellentes propriétés barrières aux radiations ultraviolettes ainsi qu’une importante diminution des propriétés d’absorption et barrières à la vapeur d’eau.

Effect of C/Si Ratio on Structural Properties of Silicon Carbide Particles Produced By Sol-Gel

Benfadel Karima, Kaci Samira, Keffous Aissa, Benmounah Abdelbaki,
2023-01-29

Résumé: In this study, silicon carbide (SiC) nano-powders were synthesized by the sol-gel method. Sucrose and TEOS have been used as carbon and silicon precursors respectively. Various solutions were prepared by varying the C/Si ratio (3, 4 and 5). The gels obtained were placed inside an alumina tube in the center of an annealing furnace which was heated to 1000°C with a heating step of 20°C/min, after one hour of annealing, the heating is restarted with a step of 10°C/min up to 1500°C under an argon atmosphere, this temperature was held for 3 hours to facilitate the carbothermal reduction. The effect of the C/Si ratio was studied on the structural properties. The XRD indicated that the powders produced under these conditions show the presence of the different phases of SiC. SEM micrographs of SiC powders deposited by sol gel on Si substrates revealed that the C/Si = 3 and C/Si = 4 ratios gave rise to particles with nanometric grain sizes. Maximum yield with reduced grain size and minimum agglomeration were obtained in the case of the powder produced with the ratio C/Si=4. According to the results obtained, the ratio C/Si=4 constitutes the better optimization for obtaining silicon carbide.
