Tungsten coil (W-coil) has become an alternative tool for graphite tubes in atomic spectrometry for its high melting point, good electrical conductivity and low cost. Tungsten coil systems have been used in atomic spectrometry as both atomizers and vaporizers. Both approaches include advantages and disadvantages. In this work the behaviors of both approaches were investigated. Bismuth (Bi), one of the hydride forming elements, was selected as the analyte. The properties and performances of both techniques, namely electrothermal atomizer (ETA) and electrothermal vaporizer (ETV), were studied regarding analytical efficiency, interferences and practicability. In this study, W-coil was used as an atom trap for preconcentration and atomization/revolatilization of volatile species of Bi, using hydride generation technique. In W-coil Atom Trap ETA system, the collected analyte species were atomized directly, since the W-coil was functioning as atomizer. In the system where W-coil was used as a vaporizer (W-coil Atom Trap ETV) the collected analyte vi species were revolatilized rapidly and sent to quartz T-tube atomizer for measurement. The experimental parameters were optimized for Bi with rhodium coated W-coil Atom Trap ETA and syringe attached rhodium coated W-coil atom trap ETA where the limits of detection obtained for this system were 0.046 and 0.018 ng/mL for 120 s trapping, respectively. Moreover, conditions for rhodium coated Atom Trap ETV and syringe attached rhodium coated W-coil Atom Trap ETV systems were optimized; the limits of detection for these systems were 0.047 and 0.026 ng/mL for 120 s trapping, respectively. In literature, interferences of ETA and ETV systems have been investigated separately; however, any study regarding the comparison of interferences for both approaches has not been performed. In this study the interferences were studied by comparing the trends exhibited by both of the approaches. In order to understand the nature of the interference, a twin-channel hydride generation system containing two gas liquid separators was used. For Rh coated W-coil atom trap ETA system, among the selected interference elements, Te and Sb suppressed significantly the signals. On the other hand, Rh coated W-coil atom trap ETV system for Bi had a completely different behavior pattern compared to Rh coated W-coil atom trap ETA system. By using the twin-channel system, a detailed interference study with Rh coated W-coil atom trap ETV system was carried out. It was found that As, Se and Sb enhanced the analytical signal of Bi significantly and the interferences most probably took place in the revolatilization stage.

Structural Properties of Electrolytic Nickel Deposits Produced By Direct Pulse and Pulse Reverse Currents in the Organic Free Watts Electrolytes
Arslan, Burcu; Karakaya, İshak (null; 2015-05-01)
Nickel plating is one of the most frequently used surface treatments because of good chemical, mechanical, magnetic, optical and electrical properties of coatings. The major application areas include corrosion protective coatings, bright underneath coatings, diffusion barrier coatings and electroforming. Each one of these applications require different characteristics for the electrodeposits. Therefore, numerous studies were performed to see the effects of plating parameters on the final characteristics of ...
Surfactant-modified multiscale composites for improved tensile fatigue and impact damage sensing
Yesil, Sertan; Winkelrnann, Charles; Bayram, Göknur; La Saponara, Valeria (Elsevier BV, 2010-10-25)
This paper documents the mechanical and electrical performance of self-sensing conductive polymer composites prepared with a low-cost technique and small hardware, able to considerably improve the dispersion and the surface adhesion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in epoxy resin with respect to amine-modified CNTs and as-received CNTs. Surface treatment of the CNTs is performed using hexamethylene diamine, or a mix of sulfuric and nitric acid, and one of two surfactants (for the diamine treatment on...
In situ atom trapping of Bi on W-coated slotted quartz tube flame atomic absorption spectrometry and interference studies
KILINÇ, ERSİN; BAKIRDERE, Sezgin; AYDIN, FIRAT; Ataman, Osman Yavuz (2013-11-01)
Analytical performances of metal coated slotted quartz tube flame atomic absorption spectrometry (SQT-FAAS) and slotted quartz tube in situ atom trapping flame atomic absorption spectrometry (SQT-AT-FAAS) systems were evaluated for determination of Bi. Non-volatile elements such as Mo, Zr, W and Ta were tried as coating materials. It was observed that W-coated SQT gave the best sensitivity for the determination of Bi for SQT-FAAS and SQT-AT-FMS. The parameters for W-coated SQT-FAAS and W-coated SQT-AT-FAAS ...
Optical characterization of silicon based hydrogenated amorphous thin films by un-visible and infrared measurements
Kılıç, İlker; Katırcıoğlu, Bayram; Department of Physics (2006)
Various carbon content hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide (a-Si1ŁxCx:H) and hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin films have been deposited on various substrates by using plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) technique. Transmission spectra of these films have been determined within UV-Visible region and the obtained data were analysed to find related physical constants such as; refractive indices, thicknesses, etc. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry technique has been u...
Carbon coating of magnesium particles
Aktekin, Burak; Eyovge, Cavit; Öztürk, Tayfur (2017-10-05)
Magnesium when hydrided has low thermal and electrical conductivity and carbon coating would be useful to remedy this for a variety of purposes. In this study, carbon coating was achieved by co-feeding magnesium and methane into a thermal plasma reactor. This yielded carbonaceous material with magnesium particles 5-10 nm in size embedded in graphitic matrix. A further reduction down to 2-3 nm was possible but required reductions in the precursor feed rate. 2 wt% carbon was sufficient to fully protect magnes...
