Controlling the properties of layered self-organized Ge clusters in silica matrix

Comunicação em poster no simposio M - More than Moore: Novel materials approaches for functionalized Silicon based Microelectronics ; Si and Ge nanocrystals (NCs) embedded in a dielectric matrix, such as SiO2, have attracted great interest for many relevant technological applications. There are many studies about Ge NCs embedded in single layer of SiO2 [1]. However, there are only a few published results about...

Runoff and erosion at the micro-plot and slope scale in a small burnt catchment...

Wildfires can have important impacts on hydrological processes and soil erosion in forest catchments, due to the destruction of vegetation cover and changes to soil properties. However, the processes involved are non-linear and not fully understood. This has severely limited the understanding on the impacts of wildfires, especially in the up-scaling from hillslopes to catchments; in consequence, current models ...

Hydrological and erosion response at micro-plot to -catchment scale following f...

Wildfires can have important impacts on hydrological and soil erosion processes, due to the destruction of vegetation cover and changes to soil properties. According to Shakesby and Doerr (2006), these wildfire effects are: i) much better known at small spatial scales (especially erosion plots) than at the scale of catchments; ii) much better studied with respect to overland flow and streamflow (and, then, espe...

Runoff and erosion in a small burnt catchment in central Portugal

Post-fire erosion is a major concern because of its potential effects on soil and water resources. Wildfire is frequently observed to increases soil erosion rates (Shakesby and Doerr, 2006). Many studies have emphasized the role of the partial or entire elimination of vegetation and ground cover (thereby exposing the mineral soil to direct impact of raindrops and overland flow) as a key factor in the increased ...

The study of soil, hydrological, erosion and vegetation processes following wil...

The EROSFIRE-II project (PTDC/AGR-CFL/70968/2006) has as overall aim to predict soil erosion risk in recently burnt forest areas, including following common post-fire forest management practices. Although the project’s main focus is on onsite erosion processes, also the export of sediments out of small catchments is addressed. To this end, a study area of about 60 ha located near to the village of Colmeal (...

Runoff at the micro-plot and slope scale following wildfire, central Portugal

Through their effects on soil properties and vegetation/litter cover, wildfires can strongly enhance overland flow generation and accelerate soil erosion [1] and, thereby, negatively affect land-use sustainability as well as downstream aquatic and flood zones. Wildfires are a common phenomenon in present-day Portugal, devastating in an average year some 100.000 ha of forest and woodlands and in an exceptional y...

Estudo comparativo da queima rápida com a queima tradicional nas propriedades d...

O estudo do ciclo de queima de materiais cerâmicos tradicionais é de grande interesse industrial, visto que são processos que utilizam grande quantidade de energia. Com um ciclo de queima adequado é possível obter um produto de melhor qualidade e com menor consumo de energia térmica, aumentando a produtividade e diminuindo os custos de produção. No Brasil, atualmente, a maioria dos ciclos de queima dos produtos...

Influência da adição de resíduo de caulim nas propriedades tecnológicas de uma ...

Atualmente existe uma grande preocupação por parte das indústrias com a disposição dos resíduos gerados ao longo do processo produtivo. No setor mineral não é diferente, pois este gera grande volume de resíduos. Verificou-se que a indústria de beneficiamento do caulim descarta grandes volumes de resíduo constituído basicamente de caulinita, mica muscovita e quartzo, ocasionando um impacto ambiental, o que tem j...

Otimização de uma metodologia para análise mineralógica racional de argilominerais

O método proposto para análise mineralógica racional de argilominerais faz uso dos resultados fornecidos pelas análises por difração de raios X (DRX) e fluorescência de raios X (FRX), além de introduzir uma correção no teor de quartzo presente na amostra por meio da curva de quartzo livre levantada para cada tipo de argila analisada. Tais dados servem para montar os sistemas de equações lineares onde cada linha...
