The shape of this band, which shows a well-defined LO–TO splitting, depends not only on the inherent characteristics of the film under analysis but also on the particular geometry of the IR experiment and the specific surface selection rules of the substrate. Three types of SiO2 thin films with clearly defined porosity ranging from dense films to mesoporous films were investigated by transmission (at different incidence angles), direct specular reflection (at different angles), and diffuse reflection. Two different types of substrate, metallic and semiconducting, were used. The combined effect of substrate and specific technique in the final shape of the band, was discussed, and the efficacy for their applicability to the determination of porosity in thin SiO2 films was critically evaluated.}}, author = {{de los Arcos, Teresa and Müller, Hendrik and Wang, Fuzeng and Damerla, Varun Raj and Hoppe, Christian and Weinberger, Christian and Tiemann, Michael and Grundmeier, Guido}}, issn = {{0924-2031}}, journal = {{Vibrational Spectroscopy}}, title = {{{Review of infrared spectroscopy techniques for the determination of internal structure in thin SiO2 films}}}, doi = {{10.1016/j.vibspec.2021.103256}}, year = {{2021}}, } @article{25893, abstract = {{Tailor-made ordered mesoporous materials bear great potential in numerous fields of application where large interfaces are required. However, the inherent surfacechemical properties of conventional materials, such as silica, carbon or organosilica, poses some limitations with respect to their application. Surface manipulation by functionalization with chemically more reactive groups is one way to improve materials for their desired purpose. Another approach is the design of high surface-area composite materials. The surface manipulation, either by functionalization or by introducing guest species, can be performed selectively. This means that when several distinct, i.e. , hierarchical, types of surfaces or pore systems exist in a material, each of them may be chosen for manipulation. Several strategies can be identified to achieve this goal. Molecules or molecule assemblies can be utilized to temporarily protect pores or surfaces (soft protection), while manipulation occurs at the accessible sites. This approach is a recurring motive in this review and can also be applied to rigid template matrices (hard protection). Furthermore, the size of functionalization agents (size protection) and their reactivity/diffusion (kinetic protection) into the pores can also be utilized to achieve selectivity.

First, two precursor formulations leading to the formation of iron oxide nanoparticles were used in a standardized SpraySyn burner system, and the final particle outcome was characterized by a broad range of established powder characterization techniques (TEM/HRTEM, SAXS, XRD, BET). The characterization of the powder products evidenced that mostly homogeneous gas-to-particle conversion takes place when applying an acidic precursor solution, whereas the absence of the acid leads to a dominant droplet-to-particle pathway. Our study indicates that a droplet-to-particle-pathway could be present even when processing the acidic formulation. However, even if a secondary pathway might take place in this case as well, it is not dominant and nearly negligible. Subsequently, the in situ particle structure evolution was investigated for the dominant gas-to-particle pathway, and particles were extracted along the flame axis for online SMPS and offline TEM/HRTEM analysis. Due to the highly reactive conditions within the flame (high temperatures, turbulent flow field, high particle number concentrations), the extraction of representative samples from spray flames is challenging. In order to handle the reactive conditions, two extraction techniques were tailored in this report. To extract an aerosol sample within the flame for SMPS measurement, a Hole in a Tube probe was adjusted. Thus, the mobility particle diameter as well as the corresponding distribution widths were obtained at different heights above the burner along the flame axis. For TEM/HRTEM image analysis, particle samples were collected thermophoretically by means of a tailored shutter system. Since all sampling grids were protected until reaching the flame axis and due to the low sampling time, momentary captures of local particle structures could be extracted precisely. The particle morphologies have clearly shown an evolution from spherical and paired particles in the flame center to fractal and compact agglomerates at later synthesis stages.}}, author = {{Tischendorf, R. and Simmler, M. and Weinberger, Christian and Bieber, M. and Reddemann, M. and Fröde, F. and Lindner, J. and Pitsch, H. and Kneer, R. and Tiemann, Michael and Nirschl, H. and Schmid, H.-J.}}, issn = {{0021-8502}}, journal = {{Journal of Aerosol Science}}, title = {{{Examination of the evolution of iron oxide nanoparticles in flame spray pyrolysis by tailored in situ particle sampling techniques}}}, doi = {{10.1016/j.jaerosci.2020.105722}}, year = {{2021}}, } @article{22635, abstract = {{Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using TiO2 nanoparticles has become an important alternative treatment for different types of cancer due to their high photocatalytic activity and high absorption of UV-A light.

For an exemplary car body, the load type in the joining elements, i.e. pure tensile, shear and combined tensile-shear loads, is determined using finite element analysis (FEA). Based on the evaluated loads, the resulting load paths in selected joining points are analyzed using a 2D FE-model of a clinching point.

Thus, a general statement about the load transmission path is not possible at this time.

The basic assumption of the new load path analysis method was confirmed by using a simple specimen with a square hole in different orientations. The results presented here show a possibility to display the load transmission path invariantly. In further steps, the method will be extended for 3D analysis and the investigation of more complex assemblies.
