    Bernhard Boyneburg (Barber) Collection ca. 1919-1975

    No full text
    The collection contains handwritten and typed manuscripts of essays by Bernhard Boyneburg about Richard Wagner and various other topics. Also included is the copy of a letter from the International Tracing Service of the Red Cross about the fate of Bernhard Barber, his wife and his son.Sophie B. Mann, October 2002Bernhard Barber was an author who published political and philosophical works under the name Boyneburg. He was born 1874 in Leipzig, but lived and worked in Vienna. In 1941, he, his wife Olga née Prager (b. 1897) and their son Eduard Fritz (b. 1905) were deported to the Ghetto in Lodz, where they perished. Barber’s daughter Sophie Mann survived the Holocaust.Bernhard Boyneburg''s published works include ,šDie Despotie der Mittel, ihre Erkenntnis : die Grundlage rascher Voelkerversoehnung, Anzengruber, Wien 1919, and ,Der Weg aus dem Chaos: Neues zum Satze von der Despotie der Mittel, Amalthea, Zürich etc., 1927'˜.digitize

    Chemische Gasphasenabscheidung, in-situ Studien und Eis-Nukleations-Verhalten von Graphen auf Eisen/Stählen und Kupfer

    Ultradünne zweidimensionale (2D) Materialien wie Graphen wurden als außergewöhnlich dünne Korrosionsbarrieren und funktionelle Beschichtungen für moderne metallurgische Legierungen vorgeschlagen. Die industrielle Anwendung solcher atomar dünnen Beschichtungen hängt von ihrer direkten Synthese auf dem Zielsubstrat und ihrer hohen Qualität und Bedeckung ab. Bislang ist es jedoch noch nicht gelungen, einlagiges Graphen in großem Maßstab auf komplexen Multielement-Substraten wie Stählen zu synthetisieren. Darüber hinaus ist selbst auf reinem Eisen die direkte Synthese von einlagigem Graphen in großem Maßstab nach wie vor schwer zu erreichen.In dieser Arbeit werden die Herausforderungen der chemischen Gasphasenabscheidung (CVD) solcher 2D-Materialien, insbesondere von Graphen, auf modernen metallurgischen Legierungen erörtert, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf Problemen der Oberflächenoxidation unter skalierbaren Synthesebedingungen und dem komplexen Zusammenspiel von Kohlenstoff und Metallsubstrat liegt. Im praktischen Teil dieser Arbeit wurde die CVD-Synthese von qualitativ hochwertigem Monolayer-Graphen auf Eisen unter skalierbaren Bedingungen erreicht. Darüber hinaus wurde das Wachstum von Graphenschichten auf einer Vielzahl von Stahlsubstraten deutlich verbessert. In-situ-Materialcharakterisierungsmethoden wie In-situ-Röntgenphotoelektronenspektroskopie bei Umgebungsdruck (NAP-XPS) und In-situ-Röntgendiffraktometrie (XRD) wurden eingesetzt, um das Verhalten der Substratoberfläche und des Volumens während des CVD-Graphenwachstums zu beleuchten und ideale Synthesebedingungen zu ermitteln. Zusätzliche Charakterisierungen zeigten die gleichzeitige Oberflächenhärtung des Eisensubstrats während des CVD-Graphenwachstums, was die Möglichkeit aufzeigt, die Graphen-Synthese in industrielle Härtungsprozesse einzubinden.Des Weitern wurde die Rolle von Graphen als dünne funktionelle Beschichtung im Hinblick auf Eisnukleation von Wasser auf einlagigen Graphen/Kupfer-Oberflächen untersucht, wobei das neuartige Phänomen der „Gefriertransparenz“ festgestellt wurde. Darüber hinaus wurde gezeigt, dass verschiedene Graphen-Funktionalisierungsansätze das Gefrierverhalten von Wasser beeinflussen, die Gefriertemperaturen verschieben und die Gefriertransparenz aufheben.Ultra-thin two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene have been proposed as exceptionally thin corrosion barriers and functional coatings for contemporary metallurgical alloys. The industrial application of such atomically thin coatings hinges on their direct synthesis on the target substrate and high quality and coverage. However, despite significant research efforts, large-scale monolayer graphene synthesis on complex multi-element substrates, such as steels, has not yet been achieved. Furthermore, even on pure iron direct synthesis of large-scale monolayer graphene remains elusive.This work addresses the challenges of chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of such 2D materials, particularly graphene, on modern metallurgical alloys. It focuses on the problems of surface oxidation under scalable synthesis conditions and the complex interplay of carbon with the metal substrate. Within the practical part of this work, the CVD synthesis of large-scale high-quality monolayer graphene on iron was achieved. Furthermore, the growth of graphene coatings on a variety of steel substrates was significantly improved. In-situ material characterization methods, such as in-situ near ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP-XPS) and in-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), were employed to advance the understanding of substrate surface and bulk behaviour during CVD graphene growth and inform ideal synthesis conditions. Additional characterization, including nano-indentation, revealed that the iron substrateundergoes concurrent surface hardening during CVD graphene growth, demonstrating the ability to incorporate graphene synthesis into industrial carburization hardening processes.Furthermore, graphene’s role as an ultimately thin functional coating was investigated with respect to water ice nucleation on monolayer graphene/copper surfaces, revealing a novel, fundamentally interesting phenomenon termed "freezing transparency". Additionally, different graphene functionalization approaches were shown to influence water freezing behaviour, shift freezing temperatures and remove this so-called "freezing transparency"

    2D-2D PhCN/WS2 exfoliated nanosheets for visible-light hydrogen production: A platinum-free Co-catalyst approach

    Full text link
    Substituting fossil fuels with green energy sources such as H2 is one of the prime objectives of achieving a sustainable and carbon-neutral future. In this work, a noble-metal-free 2D-2D hybrid photocatalyst PhCN/WS2 is reported for application in hydrogen production under visible-light irradiation, where WS2 is utilized as an environmentally friendly co-catalyst. The synthesis and characterization of 2D Phenyl-modified carbon nitride (PhCN) and 2D WS2 via liquid-phase exfoliation are systematically investigated. The effectiveness of a solventmediated self-assembly is highlighted, and the effect of WS2 flake size on the photocatalytic activity of the hybrid is examined. The hybridization of exfoliated PhCN with two-dimensional (2D) WS2 demonstrates a 42-fold enhancement in hydrogen evolution compared to exfoliated PhCN alone under visible light. This improvement is attributed to the role of WS2 as an effective hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) co-catalyst. The utilization of larger WS2 nanoflakes proved to be ideal to establish fast charge carrier transportation networks

    Heldenplatz by Thomas Bernhard

    Full text link
    openL’opera teatrale Heldenplatz è l’ultima e tra le più importanti dello scrittore e drammaturgo austriaco Thomas Bernhard, pubblicata e rappresentata nel 1988. Il testo provocò uno scandalo in Austria ancora prima di essere messo in scena, poiché presenta critiche verso la società austriaca del secondo dopoguerra, ritenuta da Bernhard colpevole di non aver affrontato il proprio passato nazionalsocialista. Questa vicenda conferma la visione di Bernhard e dimostra l'importanza del teatro per la società.The play Heldenplatz is the last and one of the most important plays by the Austrian author Thomas Bernhard, and it was published and performed in 1988. It caused a scandal in Austria even before its release due to the presence of critical assertions regarding Austrian post-war society in the text. According to Bernhard, that society had not dealt with its nazist past. This reaction shows Bernhard's view to be correct and it highlights the importance of theatre for society

    This paper give us a demonstration of twin primes conjecture using approximation of function �(iupsilon) that we introduce in section 6. Section 1-5 give us introduction to terminology and a clarification on (iupsilon) terms. In particular section 5 is really important because of its Lemma. Section 7 reassume foregoing explanations and it give us two theorems and one corollary;the theorem 7.2 give us exact approximation of twin primes counting function
