    Praesphaerammina, a new genus of Cenozoic deep-water agglutinated foraminifera from the Carpathian flysch deposits

    No full text
    The genus Praesphaerammina Kaminski and Filipcscu is newly described based on a revision of the type species Cystammina subgaleata Vasicek 1947. The genus differs from the Holocene genus Sphaerammina Cushman 1910 emend. Loeblich and Tappan 1964, in possessing a less embracing final chamber and in its interio-areal to areal aperture that lacks any tooth. The definition of the subfamily Sphaeramminae is accordingly emended as well. The genus is common in the Eocene of the Carpathian flysch deposits, but the type species Praesphaerammina subgaleata (Vasicek 1947) is also observed in the Caribbean region and West Africa, where it ranges into the Miocene

    Tungsten oxide (WO3) as nanostructured thin film is an attractive compound to be used for sensors applications. We report on WO3 nanostructured thin films deposited by radio-frequency plasma assisted laser ablation technique. A tungsten oxide ceramic target was irradiated at 193 nm wavelength; the depositions have been carried out in a gas mixture of oxygen and argon on heated substrates (corning glass and silicon) up to 600°C. The gas pressure varied between 1 Pa and 10 Pa. The influence of the substrate temperature, gas pressure and RF power on properties of the obtained nanostructures was investigated by Atomic Force Microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry and spectro-ellipsometry

    Tungsten oxide is an interesting compound with many applications in gas sensors, electrochromic and photochromic devices. Thin films of tungsten oxide were obtained by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and radio frequency assisted PLD (RF-PLD). A tungsten target was ablated in reactive oxygen atmosphere (0.01-0.05 mbar). The deposition parameters such as laser fluence, substrate temperature, radiofrequency power were varied, while different materials (Corning glass and silicon) have been used as substrates. The obtained films showed good adhesion to the substrate and uniform surface aspect, which are important properties for applications. X-ray diffraction, Auger electron, Raman spectroscopies and atomic force microscopy were used for characterization. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
