On the kinetic and thermodynamic electron temperatures in non-thermal plasmas

The framework to describe the out-of-equilibrium free electrons in cold plasmas is developed assuming the electron entropy is defined through the Boltzmann H-theorem. Our theory explains why the Saha-Boltzmann relation among higher-lying excited states by means of the electron kinetic temperature is fulfilled, even when free electrons are far from equilibrium. The thermodynamic electron temperature,…

Sensores micro-fluídicos integrados para el control de la fermentación

El objetivo de este proyecto es el desarrollo de nuevos sistemas micro/nano fluídicos integrados y robustos que permitan la incorporación fiable de tests de control, sensorización y/o análisis rápido de productos agroalimentarios, fundamentalmente líquido o productos solubles. La tecnología a desarrollar se intenta aplicar tanto para el control de productos finales como durante las etapas…

Vertically Aligned Hybrid Core/Shell Semiconductor Nanowires for Photonics Applications

A family of 1D organic/inorganic core/shell materials formed by an inner organic nanowire (ONW) conformally covered with an inorganic wide band gap semiconductor (ZnO or TiO2) layer is presented. The developed procedure is a two-steps vacuum methodology involving the formation of supported single crystal small-molecule nanowires by physical vapor deposition and plasma enhance chemical vapor…
