Synthesis optimization and charge carrier transfer mechanism in LiLuSiO<sub>4</sub>:Ce, Tm storage phosphor
LiLuSiO4:Ce and LiLuSiO4:Ce, Tm show very efficient charge carrier storage properties upon beta irradiation after samples have received treatment in vacuum. They outperform the commercial storage phosphor BaFBr(I):Eu2+ in many aspects. The influence of the synthesis conditions, Ce and Tm concentration, nonstoichiometry and codoping with Ca, Hf, Al and Ge are reported. Based on the results of the synthesis optimization, thermoluminescence (TL) emission and TL excitation spectra a mechanism of charge carrier transfer, storage, and recombination during irradiation and thermal or optical readout is proposed.Accepted Author ManuscriptRST/Fundamental Aspects of Materials and EnergyRST/Luminescence Material

Kata Kunci: Sandblasting, Surface Treatment, Tekanan Penyemprotan, Ukuran Mesh, Kekasaran Permukaan, Laju Korosi. Sandblasting merupakan proses yang dilakukan untuk membersihkan dan merubah kekasaran permukaan suatu material. Proses ini umumnya dilakukan sebelum melakukan proses pelapisan permukaan material dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan daya rekat lapisan pada permukaan material yang dilapisi. Sandblasting dilakukan dengan menyemprotkan material yang bersifat abrasive berupa pasir kulonprogo dengan tekanan relatif tinggi pada suatu permukaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hasil dari kekasaran permukaan sesuai standar ASTM G7127-13 dan laju korosi sesuai standar ASTM G 31-72 setelah mengalami proses sandblasting dengan variasi tekanan penyemprotan dan ukuran mesh. Variasi tekanan yang digunakan adalah 4; 4,4 dan 4,7 bar sesuai standar ASTM D4264 . Variasi ukuran mesh yang digunakan adalah mesh 40, mesh 60 dan mesh 80 sesuai standar ASTM E136. Variable kontrol yang digunakan yaitu jarak penyemprotan 10 cm, sudut penyemprotan 90°, dan waktu penyemprotan 7 detik. Hasil dari penelitian tersebut menunjukkan bahwa variasi tekanan penyemprotan dan ukuran mesh mempengaruhi hasil kekasaran permukaan dan laju korosi pada proses sandblasting. Kekasaran permukaan tertinggi terjadi pada tekanan 4,7 bar dengan mesh 40 sebesar 2,186667 µm dan kekasaran permukaan terendah terjadi pada tekanan 4 bar dengan mesh 80 sebesar 1,606667 µm. Laju korosi tertinggi terjadi pada tekanan 4,7 bar dengan mesh 40 menghasilkan nilai korosi sebesar 0,00282 µm/y. Sedangkan laju korosi terendah terjadi pada tekanan 4,bar dengan mesh 80 menghasilkan nilai korosi sebesar 0,001919 µm/y. SUMMARY Huda, Robby Miftakhul. 2018. “Effect of Sandblasting Results Using Spraying Pressure and Sand Size Variations on Surface Roughness and 304 Stainless Steel Corrosion Rate”. Thesis. Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, State University of Malang. Advisor: (I) Dr. Aminnudin, S. T., M. T., (II) Yanuar Rohmat Aji Pradana, S.T., M.T., M.Sc Keywords: Sandblasting, Surface Treatment, Spraying Pressure Variations, Mesh Size Variations, Surface Roughness, Corrosion Rate. Sandblasting is a process carried out to clean and modify the surface roughness of a material. This process is generally applied before conducting the surface coating process of the material in order to increase the adhesion of the coating on the surface of the substrate . Sandblasting is done by spraying abrasive material in the form of Kulonprogo sand with a relatively high pressure on a surface. This study aims to determine surface roughness and corrosion rates of stainless steel 304 plates. After undergoing a sandblasting process using Kulonprogo sand with variations in spray pressure and mesh size. Based on ASTM G7127-13 and ASTM 31-72 standards, respectively. The pressure variations used ware 4; 4.4 and 4.7 bar according to the standard ASTM D4264. The mesh size variations of 40, mesh 60 and mesh 80 were used according to the standard ASTM E136. The sandblasting was done at 10 cm of spraying distance, 90 ° of spraying angle, and 7° seconds of spraying time The results of this study indicate that variations in spray pressure and mesh size significanty affect the results of surface roughness and corrosion rate in the sandblasting process. The highest surface roughness reached at a pressure of 4.7 bar with mesh 40 of 2.186667 µm and the lowest surface roughness observed at sample blasted at a pressure of 4 bars with mesh 80 of 1.606667 µm. The highest corrosion rate occurred at a pressure of 4.7 bar with mesh 40 producing the corrosion rate of 0.00282 µm/y. On the other hand, the lowest corrosion rate occured at pressure 4 bar with mesh of 80 producing the corrosion rate of 0.001919 µm/y

The dependence of light extraction improvement on optimized surface microstructure for AlGaN-based UVC-LEDs considering TM-polarized emission
In order to improve the light extraction of AlGaN-based short wavelength ultraviolet light emitting diodes (DUC-LEDs), a type of microstructure with high aspect ratio is introduced and optimized on the AlN substrate surface. And, particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to inverse design of the surface microstructure to maximize the light extraction efficiency (LEE). Considering that the propagation characteristics of TM-polarized light are different from that of TE-polarized light, the optical field distribution and LEE is analyzed for the UVC-LEDs with different TE-polarized component when the optimized surface microstructure is applied. Furthermore, the preparation process tolerance of the high aspect ratio structure is discussed by calculating the LED's LEE when the structural deviation occurs or morphology changes. Simulation results show that, by using the optimized surface microstructure based on parabola cone array, the LEDs' LEE is increased from 4.4% to 8.7% and from 0.4% to 3.7% for TE-polarized and TM-polarized emission, respectively. In addition, it is demonstrated that the light extraction improvement by the surface microstructure has a good tolerance to the structural deviation and morphology. The results are significant for improving light extraction and realizing high efficient short wavelength AlGaN-based UVC-LEDs by designing surface microstructures.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.ImPhys/Esmaeil Zadeh grou

Dalla Biblioteca Comunale di Urbania: due raccolte musicali per un interprete
In the Library of Urbania (Marche, Italy) six musical manuscripts containing seventeenth century arias and cantatas are preserved. They belonged to an aristocratic family of Apecchio, (Marche), the Ubaldini. This article investigates two of them containing cantatas by Cossoni, Giovanni Bonaventura Viviani, Legrenzi Bassani and others, and in which there is the note “ex libris Antonij Barbarini”. This article reconstructs the origin of these two manuscripts, for whom the author individuated the probable owner, the singer Ippolito Fusai, by means the repertory identified in it. A thorough investigation of this hitherto little-known manuscripts may shed new light on the diffusion and transmission of music in Italy during the Seventeenth and early-Eighteenth centurie

Preferred Reporting Items for the Development of Evidence-based Clinical Practice Guidelines in Traditional Medicine (PRIDE-CPG-TM): Explanation and elaboration
AbstractIntroductionThe development of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) in traditional medicine (TM) is an ongoing challenge as it is unique area. This study describes a unified platform with Preferred Reporting Items for the Development of Evidence-based CPGs in TM (PRIDE-CPG-TM), which has been successfully used by the evidence-based CPGs committee for TM.MethodsInitially we searched the literature and CPG handbooks, collected items from methodology references and drew on experiences gained from Korean medical physicians and methodology experts. A group of experts subsequently edited drafts of the items, identified one or more examples of good reporting for each item, and developed text that explained the rationale and discussed relevant evidence. Face to face meetings were held with experts to finalize the items with the most extensive elaboration.ResultsThe PRIDE-CPG-TM, in the form of a checklist and description of items with TM approach and TM examples, were designed to improve the reporting of CPG in TM and thereby facilitate their interpretation and replication. The PRIDE-CPG-TM included 5 domains and 40 items. The items pertain to the development methodology (22 items), Overview of diseases and symptoms (6 items), Recommendations (4 items), Implementation and dissemination (5 items) and others (3 items).ConclusionsThe completeness of CPG descriptions in TM is very poor. Therefore, a complete description of the recommendations for TM in CPGs is necessary for physicians to implement the recommendations in clinical practice areas. The PRIDE-CPG-TM will provide useful guidance for TM developers in the development of evidence-based CPGs
Study of Tm valence state in CaSi2O2N2 and phosphor-enabled PowerWindow application
PowerWindow is a luminescent solar concentrator which employs a Tm2+-doped material to strongly absorb sunlight and produce a sharp emission in the near-infrared spectrum for energy-harvesting purposes. The absence of self-absorption and the large spectral overlap with the solar spectrum make it an attractive addition to current building-integrated photovoltaics development. Such Tm2+-doped materials have so far been limited to halides that are susceptible to decomposition when exposed to air, which compromises its stability and limits the application. The solutions to functionalize the characteristic Tm2+ photoluminescence properties are two-fold: by an alternative inorganic host (CaSi2O2N2) that is insensitive to moisture, or by using a protective barrier (silicone) that protects halides against decomposition upon exposure to air. The proposed alternative phosphor CaSi2O2N2:Tm is synthesized by solid-state reaction and its luminescent property is examined. The Tm dopant is found to exist in trivalent state (Tm3+) and no luminescence of Tm2+ is found in the material. Besides Tm2O3, different starting powders with other oxidation states (TmI2 and Tm metal powder) were tested to reduce Tm3+ ion to Tm2+ but no change has been observed. It is concluded that the high-lying Tm2+ 4f electronic ground state in CaSi2O2N2 is susceptible to oxidization by losing electrons to its conduction band and therefore unlikely to be stabilized with this synthesis method. The protective barrier approach applied to the NaCl:Tm2+ phosphors was realized by a polydiphenylsiloxane silicone encapsulant. The precursors and the phosphors are cured together in a lamination scheme between two pieces of glass. From the optical properties derived from its absorption and transmission spectra, it is concluded that the Tm2+ valence state of NaCl:Tm2+ is stable in the polymer with no sign of Tm3+ formation at all. While its production process and the relative amount of phosphor still need to be further optimized, a proof-of concept has been attained
