AB  - Processes taking place during hydrogen desorption from MgH2 thin films were investigated in as-prepared samples and samples modified by argon ion irradiation. Irradiation was used to produce well-defined defects with depth distribution. It was shown that the size, shape, and concentration of Mg nuclei formed during hydrogen desorption from MgH2 thin films depend on the characteristics and distribution of the induced defects. In as-prepared samples the shape of Mg nuclei is spherical, while in irradiated samples, it is highly irregular. Variations in sample colour were observed during hydrogen desorption and before the creation of Mg nuclei. DFT calculations showed that the observed variations in the optical properties of samples can be explained by changes in MgH2 electronic structure -the appearance of an H-vacancy band within the MgH2 energy gap.

AB  - Purification and shortening of carbon nanotubes have attracted a great deal of attention to increase the biocompatibility and performance of the material in several applications. Steam treatment has been employed to afford both purification and shortening of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Steam removes the amorphous carbon and the graphitic particles that sheath catalytic nanoparticles, facilitating their removal by a subsequent acidic wash. The amount of metal impurities can be reduced in this manner below 0.01 wt.%. The length distribution of MWCNTs after different steam treatment times (from 1 h to 15 h) was assessed by box plot analysis of the electron microscopy data. Samples with a median length of 0.57 mu m have been prepared with the reported methodology while preserving the integrity of the tubular wall structure. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
