Biostimulation as an attractive technique to reduce phenanthrene toxicity for meiofauna and bacteria in lagoon sediment

Haithem Louati, O.B. Said, A. Soltani, P. Got, Cristiana Cravo-Laureau, Robert Duran, P. Aissa, O. Pringault, E. Mahmoudi

A microcosm experiment was setup to examine (1) the effect of phenanthrene contamination on meiofauna and bacteria communities and (2) the effects of different bioremediation strategies on phenanthrene degradation and on the community structure of free-living marine nematodes. Sediments from…

Electro-optic and converse-piezoelectric properties of epitaxial GaN grown on silicon by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition

Mireille Cuniot-Ponsard, Irma Saraswati, S.M. Ko, Mathieu Halbwax, Y.H. Cho, El Hadj Dogheche

We report the measurement of the (r13, r33) Pockels electro-optic coefficients in a GaN thin film grown on a Si(111) substrate. The converse piezoelectric (d33) and electro-absorptive coefficients are simultaneously determined. Single crystalline GaN epitaxial layers were grown with a AlGaN buffer…

Optimization of the optical properties of nanostructured silicon surfaces for solar cell applications

Di Zhou, Yan Pennec, Bahram Djafari-Rouhani, Odile Cristini-Robbe, Tao Xu, Yannick Lambert, Yves Deblock, Marc Faucher, Didier Stiévenard

Surface nanostructuration is an important challenge for the optimization of light trapping in solar cell. We present simulations on both the optical properties and the efficiency of micro pillars--MPs--or nanocones--NCs--silicon based solar cells together with measurements on their associated…

Electrical and Chemical studies on Al2O3 passivation activation process

M. Pawlik, J-P. Vilcot, M. Halbwax, D. Aureau, A. Etcheberry, A. Slaoui, T. Schutz-Kuchly, R. Cabal

Al2O3 deposited using Atomic layer Deposition (ALD) technique is known as an excellent material for p-type silicon surface passivation. However a post-deposition annealing step is needed to make the passivation effective. Thanks to coupled electrical measurements (capacitance and photoconductance)…

Joint estimation of state and noise parameters in a linear dynamic system with impulsive measurement noise: Application to OFDM systems

Nouha Jaoua, Emmanuel Duflos, Philippe Vanheeghe, Laurent Clavier, François Septier

Interference mitigation is one of the main challenges in wireless communication, especially in ad hoc networks. In such context, the Multiple Access Interference (MAI) is known to be of an impulsive nature. Therefore, the conventional Gaussian assumption is inadequate to model this type of…

Determination of noise figure of differential circuits using correlation of output noise waves

Yogadissen Andee, J. Prouvée, F. Graux, Francois Danneville

The noise characterisation of differential circuits is considered. A new method for the determination of the differential mode noise power at the output of these circuits is presented. It is demonstrated that this differential noise power depends not only on the output noise powers but also on the…

CW Radar for Monitoring Water-to-Cellular Concrete

Kamel Haddadi, Tuami Lasri

The physical deterioration of concrete structures is mainly caused by their moisture content. Consequently, methods dedicated to contactless, non-destructive and real-time monitoring of moisture content levels are required to control the deterioration of buildings. In this study, we propose an…
