"In spite of abundant experimental evidences supporting the viability of the laser induced shock wave plasma model for the explanation of the important features ofthe plasma and the associated spectroscopic characteristics, a controversy on the atomic excitation mechanism in the plasma has remained to be completely resolved. In this study the contributions of the shock wave model and two other most popular models, the electron-ion recombination model and thc electron collision model were thoroughly investigated. For that purpose, a special technique has been developed for the direct detection of the charge current in conjunction with plasma emission measurement dining the laser plasma generation and expansion. The current detection was performed by placing a partially transmitting metal mesh electrode at a distance in front of the sample surface with the sample target sewing as the counter electrode. The electric Held between the mesh and sample surface was set up and varied by applying a variable DC voltage (0-400 Volt) between them. The laser plasma was generated by a YAG laser (64 ml, 8 ns) tightly focused on a Cu target through the mesh electrode in low-pressure surrounding gas. It was found that the charge current time profiles obtained at various gas pressures invariably exhibit a lack of consistent correlation with the emission time profile of the plasma throughout most of the emission period. The result of this study has thus practically eliminated any significant roles ofthe electron-ion recombination and electron collision models in the excitation process. We are therefore led to conclude that the shock wave model proposed earlier is most plausible for the consistent explanation of the secondary plasma emission, while the other two models may have some contribution only at the very initial stage ofthe secondary plasma generation."

"ZnO merupakan salah satu semikonduktor yang berpotensi untuk aplikasi fotokatalitis, tetapi tingkat rekombinasi elektron dan hole yang tinggi menyebabkan aktifitas fotokatalitik kurang efisien. Struktur nano hibrida antara ZnO dan logam mulia diharapkan dapat meningkatkan aktivitas fotokatalitiknya. Dalam penelitian ini disintesis struktur nanohibrida Ag/ZnO di atas substrat kaca menggunakan metode hidrotermal dengan variasi waktu penumbuhan Ag yaitu 30, 45, 60 dan 90 menit pada suhu 80oC. Hasil pengujian SEM, TEM, XRD, Raman Spectroscopy, XPS, UV-Vis Spectrometer, DRS, dan Photoluminescence menunjukkan bahwa struktur nano hibrida Ag/ZnO dengan waktu deposisi 45 menit menghasilkan aktivitas fotokatalitik yang tinggi. Nanopartikel Ag berperan sebagai electron sink sehingga elektron pada pita konduksi ZnO tidak berekombinasi dengan hole di pita valensi, melainkan ditransfer ke nanopartikel Ag menyebabkan aktivitas fotokatalitik ZnO meningkat.

ZnO is one of the potential semiconductors for photocatalytic applications, but high recombination rates between electrons and holes cause the photocatalytic activity is less efficient. The nanohybrid structure between ZnO and noble metals is expected could increase its photocatalytic activity. In this study nanohybrid Ag ZnO were synthesized on glass substrates by hydrothermal method with variation of Ag deposition times i.e 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes at 80oC. The characterization results of SEM, TEM, XRD, Raman Spectroscopy, XPS, UV Vis Spectrometer, DRS, and Photoluminescence showed that the nanohybrid Ag ZnO with 45 minute deposition time resulted in high photocatalytic activity. The Ag nanoparticles act as electron sinks so that the electrons in the ZnO conduction band do not recombine with the holes in the valence band, but they were transferred into Ag nanoparticles hence the photocatalytic activity of ZnO were increased."

"Pada penelitian ini diterapkan metode fotoelektrokatalitik untuk mendegradasi zat warna Congo red. Untuk keperluan tersebut dilakukan immobilisasi semikonduktor TiO2 dalam bentuk lapisan tipis pada dinding bagian dalam tabung gelas berpenghantar. Preparasi film TiO2 dilakukan dengan cara proses sol gel (PSG), dimana titanium tetraisopropoksida (TTIP) digunakan sebagai prekursor dan polietilen glikol (PEG) sebagai template, untuk mendapatkan film yang berpori. Terhadap film TiO2 yang dihasilkan dilakukan karakterisasi dengan XRD (X-Ray Difraktometer) dan SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope). Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa TiO2 hasil sintesis mempunyai struktur kristal anatase dengan campuran sedikit rutile, sedangkan dari foto SEM menunjukkan adanya pori pada film lapis tipis TiO2 yang dihasilkan. Lapisan tipis TiO2 yang telah disintesis difungsikan sebagai elektroda kerja, yang dipasangkan dengan kawat Pt sebagai elektroda bantu dan Ag/AgCl sebagai elektroda pembanding. Rangkaian sel fotoelektrokimia ini selanjutnya digunakan untuk mendegradasi zat warna Congo red. Uji kinerja fotokatalis dilakukan terhadap dua tipe film TiO2 untuk mendegradasi Congo Red dalam NaNO3 0,1 M selama 100 menit. Kedua tipe film tersebut adalah film TiO2 yang dipreparasi dengan bantuan template PEG masing-masing dengan konsentrasi 0,02M (disingkat TiO2-PEG 0,02M) dan 0,04 M (disingkat TiO2-PEG 0,04M). Dan didapatkan film TiO2-PEG 0,02 M menghasilkan arus cahaya tertinggi. Dari film terbaik tersebut diuji kinerja fotoelektrokatalisisnya pada tiga variasi bias potensial, yaitu berturut-turut 200, 300, dan 400 mV. Hasil terbaik diperoleh dari film TiO2-PEG 0,02 M dengan pemberian bias potensial sebesar 200 mV, yaitu menghasilkan persentase hasil degradasi sebesar 99,41%. Sebagai pembanding dilakukan uji degradasi dengan kondisi (a) tanpa pemberian bias potensial (fotokatalisis), (b) tanpa penyinaran (katalisis), dan (c) tanpa kehadiran katalis (fotolisis), yang menghasilkan persen pengurangan konsentrasi Congo Red berturut-turut sebanyak 84,71%, 30,22%, dan 22,33%. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa pemberian bias potensial pada fotokatalis TiO2 (metoda fotoelektrokatalisis) terbukti mampu meningkatkan proses degradasi Congo Red.

In this research, the photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) method was employed to degraded Congo red. For this purpose, the TiO2 film was immobilized on to conducting inner wall glass column. Immobilization of TiO2 film was prepared by a sol-gel method using tetraisopropoksida (TTIP) as a precursor and poly ethylene Glycol as templating agent, in order to produce porous film. XRD and SEM were used to characterized the produced films.

The results showed that the prepared TiO2 has mainly anatase structure, with minor rutile structure. Whereas the SEM photographs showed the existence of pores in the thin layer of TiO2 films. The TiO2 film then was functioned as a working electrode, paired with Pt wire as auxiliary electrode and Ag / AgCl as reference electrode. The photoelectrochemical cells then were used to degrade congo red solution. Performance test was carried out toward two type of TiO2 film to degrade Congo red solution for 100 minutes. Those two films were TiO2 fim which were prepared with the aid of PEG at concentration of 00.2 M (abbreviated as TiO2-PEG-0.02 M) and 0.04 M (abbreviated as TiO2-PEG-0.04 M).

The results indicated that the TiO2-PEG-0.02 M film type gave the best result which gave higher photocurrent. To the best film a photoelectrocatalytic test were performed at a bias potential of 200, 300, 400 mV, respectively. The results indicated that the TiO2-PEG-0.02M film type and 200 mV bias potential gave the best result, that was 99.41% degradation. For the comparation purpose, a series of experimental conditions, namely (a) without bias potential expose (photocatalysis), (b) without light (catalysis), and (c) without presence of catalyst but with the light ON (photolysis) were performed to eliminate Congo red in solution, and the results were 84.71%, 30.22%, and 22.33%, respectively. This results showed clearly that photoelectrocatalytic method was able to enhance the degradation of Congo red, thus superior to other method which employing same catalyst."

"Sel surya tersensitasi zat pewarna, (dye-sensitized solar cell, DSSC) merupakan salah satu sel surya yang mudah dan murah dalam proses pembuatannya dan memiliki prospek untuk menjadi pengganti sel surya generasi pertama. Namun demikian, DSSC memiliki efisiensi yang rendah, karena terjadi rekombinasi elektron yang disebabkan konduktivitas rendah dan penyerapan TiO₂. Pada penelitian ini, pengaruh Grafin oksida tereduksi (reduced graphene oxide, rGO) pada performa DSSC telah diinvestigasi. Material rGO diproduksi dengan menggunakan metode Hummer melalui oksidasi dengan Kalium Permanganat (KMnO₄) dan kemudian reduksi dengan Hidrazyne Hydrate. Hasil fabrikasi berupa Grafin Oksida (GO) dan rGO dikarakterisasi dengan XRD, SEM, UV-Vis dan FTIR sedangkan performa sel surya diukur dengan solar cell simulator. Hasil XRD menunjukkan bahwa telah terjadi pergeseran puncak difraksi dari sudut 2θ sebesar 26.50° menjadi 10.4° yang menunjukkan adanya eksfoliasi grafit. Dan terjadi pergeseran kembali ke posisi semula ketika GO menjadi rGO yang mengindikasikan adanya kontraksi kembali. Hasil SEM menunjukkan bahwa telah terjadi perubahan bentuk fisis dari grafit, GO dan rGO. Data FTIR menunjukkan bahwa puncak-puncak gugus OH mengalami peningkatan saat oksidasi dan penurunan saat reduksi yang menunjukkan adanya reaksi oksidasi dan reduksi yang efektif. Dari data DRS ditemukan energi celah pita grafit, GO dan rGO berturut-turut 3.4 , 3.7 dan 3.95 eV sementara energi celah pita untuk komposit nano sekitar 3.38-3.48 eV. Efisiensi yang diperoleh untuk komposit dengan persentase 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 dan 5 wt% masing-masing 1.45, 0.67, 0.91, 0.09, 0.82 dan 0.46 %. Sementara itu untuk lapisan didapatkan hasil untuk 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 dan 5 lapis rGO adalah 1.39, 1.13, 0.801, 0.05, 1.05 dan 0.853%. Penurunan efisiensi ini diakibatkan selisih energi LUMO pewarna dan pita konduksi semikonduktor kecil sehingga masih banyak rekombinasi elektron.

Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is a ease and low cost fabrication and has high possibility to become substitution for the first generation of solar cell. However, DSSC has low efficiency that caused by electron recombination due to low conductivity and high absorbance of TiO₂.

This research has investigated the effect of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to the performance of DSSC. The rGO synthesized using Hummer's method that routed by oxidation by potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) and reduction Hydrazine Hydrate.  Graphene Oxide (GO) and rGO as result of fabrication are characterized using XRD, SEM, UV-Vis and FTIR and solar cell's performance is measured by solar cell simulator.

XRD result shows the displacement of diffraction peak from angle 2θ of 26.50° become 10.4° that indicate the graphite exfoliation. Then it returned to the initial position that indicate contraction.

SEM's result showed the form of graphite, GO and rGO. FTIR's data showed the peaks of OH increase when it was oxidized and decreased when it was reduced indicate the oxidation and reduction processes were effective. Bandgap of graphite, GO, rGO is found from DRS's data that gained results of  3.4 , 3.7 and 3.95 eV consecutively whereas bandgap for nanocomposite about 3.38-3.48 eV. The efficiencies for DSSC with nanocomposite photoanode that have percentage of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 are 5 wt% 1.45, 0.67, 0.91, 0.09, 0.82 and 0.46 % consecutively.

The results for layers form one for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5-layers number of rGO are 1.39, 1.13, 0.801, 0.05, 1.05 and 0.853% consecutively. The decreasing of efficiencies are caused by the small difference of LUMO energy of dye and conduction band of semiconductor resulted much electron recombination."

Westernblottest results showed reactivity of post-immunized serum against a band of ~ 27 kDa protein, which indicate the presence of specific antibody response against M1 antigen, whereas preimmunization rabbit serum showed no reaction with the 27 kDa protein band. The existence of non-specific reactions that are relatively weak against other protein bands was also observed , both in the post-immunization and pre-immunization sera, indicating the presence of residual E.coliprotein in the purified M1 antigen preparation. The Polyclonal antibody obtained in this study can be used to detect M1 antigen, for development of H1N1 Influenza A diagnostic test and vaccine."

"Dalam penelitian ini telah berhasil dilakukan pembuatan thin film Zn excimer pada substrat Safir (α-Al2O3) dengan teknik rekombinasi ion pada sistem electron assisted PVD. Modifikasi level elektronik pada Zn dengan eksitasi memungkinkan untuk mendapatkan struktur kristal yang berbeda dan akan merubah sifat material. Salah satu variabel utama dalam kontrol pembentukan Zn excimer dengan metode rekombinasi ion adalah kontrol energi insiden elektron. Kontrol energi tersebut berkaitan dengan fenomena densitas elektron yang ditembakkan ke substrat. Distribusi densitas muatan elektron tersebut tergantung pada posisi substrat sehingga akan berpengaruh pada pembentukan lapisan film Zn excimer. Sampel lapisan film tersebut dikarakterisasi dengan pengujian seperti X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) pada lokasi sampel yang berbeda. Karakterisasi dengan XPS akan membantu untuk memahami pengaruh densitas muatan elektron terhadap lapisan film Zn excimer.

In this study have been successfully performed the manufacture of thin film Zn * on a substrate Sapphire (α-Al2O3) by ion recombination techniques in electronassisted PVD system. Modifications electronic level in Zn with excitation makes it possible to get different crystal structure and properties. The main variable for control formation of Zn excimer is the energy incident electron. These related to the phenomenon of electron density that irradiated into the substrate. Electron charge density distribution depends on the position of the substrate that will affect the formation of thin film Zn excimer. The samples were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) at different sample locations. Characterization by XPS will help to understand the influence of the electron charge density of the thin film Zn excimer."

ABSTRACT

This study focused on ion recombination factor for ionization chambers in FFF flattening filter free photon beams and then compared the result against conventional photon beams. The evaluation of ion recombination correction factor was performed using FC65 G, SNC600c, and CC13 ionization chambers. Measurements using the three ionization chambers were performed within the water fantom and using 6 MV FFF and conventional photon beams from the Varian Trilogy linac. The ion recombination correction factor value for the three ionization chambers were obtained from the calculation using the simple two voltage method and Jaffe plot curve fitting. Measurements were also performed for several depth and field size variations. The ion recombination factor value obtained from all three ionization chambers were higher for FFF photon beams than for the conventional photon beams with a difference of 0.5 . While using several variations of depth and size, the results showed that the ion recombination correction value decreased with increasing depth with variation 0.3 and increased with increasing field size with variation 0.1 . The ion recombination correction value obtained from the linear Jaffe plot curve fitting had a difference le 7.649 when compared to the two voltage method. While differences in ion recombination correction values obtained from quadratic curve fitting and exponential quadratic curve fitting to two voltage methods were le 0.5882 and le 1.798 . In addition to ion recombination correction, this study also evaluated the polarity correction factor in the FFF photon beams. The polarity correction value of FFF photon beam with conventional photon beam had a difference 0.15 . The value of ion recombination and polarity correction for the three ionization chambers in FFF photon beams has no significant difference compared to conventional photon beams."
