    Dissertação (Mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Físicas e Matemáticas.Este trabalho é parte de um amplo projeto de pesquisa sobre materiais nanoestruturados fabricados por Mechanical Alloying que o Grupo de Física do Estado Sólido da UFSC vem realizando. As ligas Fe33Sn67 e CU33Al67 possuem grande importância tecnológica. Devido as elevadas diferenças nos pontos de fusão dos elementos químicos, a obtenção destas ligas pelas técnicas convencionais apresentam grandes dificuldades, sendo estas superadas quando a técnica Mechanical Alloying é utilizada para a fabricação das mesmas. As técnicas de difração de raios-x e calorimetria diferencial de varredura (DSC) foram usadas no estudo das propriedades estruturais destas ligas. Os difratogramas de difração de raios-x da liga Fe33Sn67 tal como coletada e tratada termicamente foram indexados a uma rede tetragonal denominada de fase , com parâmetros de rede a = b = 6,5234 Â e c = 5,3373 Â e, a = b = 6,5369 A e c = 5,3328 Â, respectivamente. O tamanho médio encontrados para os cristalitos foram L = 164 A e L = 297 A, respectivamente. Os padrões de difração de raios-x da liga CU33Al67 tal como foi coletada e tratada termicamente foram indexados a uma rede tetragonal denominada de fase O, com parâmetros de rede a = b = 6,0636 Â e c = 4,8848 Â e, a = b =6,0547 Â e c = 4,8719 Â, respectivamente e a uma rede cúbica de face centrada (alumínio) com parâmetros de rede a = 4,0994 Â e a = 4,0993 Â, respectivamente. O tamanho médio calculados para os cristalitos da fase tetragonal foram L = 80 Â e L = 358 Â e, para a rede fc.c. foram L = 109 Â e L = 360 Â. O tratamento térmico precipitou uma nova fase na liga CU33Al67, sendo esta, possivelmente, monoclínica com o tamanho médio dos cristalitos em tomo de L = 294 A. Portanto, neste trabalho, obtemos ligas com uma estrutura nanométrica. O programa DBWS, utilizado para simular padrões de difração de raios-x, confirmou a presença da fase tetragonal nestas ligas e de alumínio metálico na liga CU33Al67 nanoestruturada

    Development and Application of an airborne Differential Absorption Lidar for the Simultaneous Measurement of Ozone and Water Vapor in the Tropopause Region

    No full text
    A new, combined, lidar system has been developed that is able to simultaneously measure profiles of ozone and water vapor onboard of a comparatively small aircraft. The concurrent measurement of these complementary trace species in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere allows inferring exchange processes in the tropopause region. Whereas an advanced H2O differential absorption lidar at 935 nm has successfully been developed and extensively tested at DLR in the past, we concentrate here on amending this lidar by addition of a UV channel to measure ozone. The transmitter of the ozone DIAL is based on a near-IR optical parametric oscillator that is frequency-converted into the UV spectral range by intracavity sum frequency mixing. Hereby, a continuous UV tuning range of ~ 302-316 nm has been achieved. The average output power in this range is higher than 1 W corresponding to more than 10 mJ per pulse at a repetition rate of 100 Hz. While airborne measurements are still pending, ground-based validation using both ozone sondes and ozone DIAL has successfully been performed and demonstrates the potential of this system

    The French-German Climate Monitoring Initiative on global observations of atmospheric CH4

    No full text
    Knowledge of concentrations and fluxes of the most important long-lived greenhouse carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) is a key element of climate change research. We report on the status of the French-German Climate Monitoring Initiative which aims on global observations of atmospheric methane. This mission which has recently been selected for joint Phase0/A studies at CNES and DLR is intended to improve our understanding of the Global Methane Cycle and the exploration of the nature of the processes which govern the exchange of methane between atmosphere and biosphere. As a novel feature, the observational instrument of this mission will be an Integrated Path Differential-Absorption (IPDA) lidar system embarked on the French spacecraft MYRIADE for the measurement of the column-weighted dry-air mixing ratio of CH4. This data will be provided by the lidar technique with no bias due to particles scattering in the light path and can directly be used as input for flux inversion calculation. Other geophysical quantities which can be derived from the measurements comprise information on vegetation height, cloud layers, and surface retro-reflectance
