The superconductor YBa2Cu3O7 compound was synthesized by the sol-gel technique. The pattern of X-ray diffraction showed that the ceramic oxide crystallized in an orthorhombic structure. The structure analysis was performed by allowing Rietveld refinement obtain network parameters, the atomic positions, occupancy of atomic sites, identify dollies and spurious secondary compound and the percentage content of the latter

Y Ba2Cu3O7 epitaxial superconducting film is consequence of an optimum epitaxial growth process of superconducting grains. Also, the substrate's epitaxy has a direct repercussion on the lm microstructure and its physical properties. Conventional characterization techniques such as: scanning electronic microscopy, and x ray difrraction, allowed us to obtain a quick assessment of epitaxy quality through of texture quantification of the film. We present the results of texture quantification in Y Ba2Cu3O7 superconducting films.

Condensation of hydrogen atoms into solid-state (metallic) under high pressure (500 GPa) was one key experimental fact in this millennium. Triggering a race to explore the conditions necessary to produce a metallic state in metal-hydride compounds under high-pressures by using a diamond anvil cell, although some laboratories did not only obtain others compounds in metallic-state, they also achieved the superconducting state. In October 2020, carbon, sulfur and hydrogen compound became room-temperature superconductor (287,7 K) under pressure close to 267 GPa, sparking again the interest in superconducting materials, and coming back one more time the dream of the technological applications of room-temperature superconductors without cooling liquid.

Nowadays the growth of technological materials in the form of thin lms, layers, or coatings, still remains like one of the topics of greatest vitality, in both the scientic and technological environment. These technological materials already are in various applications of the dierent products that we use on our daily basis. However, how technology on coatings can help the country's productive sector?. We briey describe this hidden potential of coatings through this communication to help close the gap between the knowledge production in the academy and the work tools that the Peruvian industry sector needs to improve the quality of its nal products.

In copper oxide superconductor materials the internal charge transference between the superconducting planes of CuO2 and the charge reservoir blocks, it is a key factor that controls the superconducting critical temperature. The superconducting planes of CuO2 are not planes in a strict sense, the position of the Cu(2) atom and the O(2) and O(3) oxygen atoms are not lying in a same plane, the change of its positions are closely related to atomic replacements in the superconducting planes of CuO2 or in the charge reservoir blocks. Therefore, we correlates the substitutions effects in the canonical unit cell of YBa2Cu3O7 with regard to length and angle bond variation of copper and oxygen atoms with the superconducting critical temperature obtained by Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction patterns in polycrystalline powder samples, such as: SmBa2Cu3O7, [Y0,90,Pr0,10]Ba2Cu3O7, [Ca,La]Ba2Cu...

En el presente trabajo estudiamos la textura de capas superconductoras de YBa2Cu3O7-da través de la difracción de rayos-X. Las capas fueron crecidas sobre el sustrato monocristalino SrTiO3 (100) mediante la deposición de solución química. Posteriormente se sometió la muestra a tratamientos térmicos en una atmósfera oxidante. Una caracterización mediante difracción de rayos-X revela la presencia de reflexiones (00l) para la fase de YBa2Cu3O7-d con una fracción de granos superconductores orientados eje-c del 70%. Mediciones de la Rocking Curves permiten observar 3 regiones texturizadas fuera del plano del sustrato, con valores de FWHM 0.35°; 0.83° y 1.0°.

Bare maghemite nanoparticles (Nps), binary, and ternary magnetic nanocomposites made with titanium dioxide (TiO2) and graphene oxide (GO) were synthesized by a facile and cheap coprecipitation chemical route, and used as magnetic nanoadsorbents to remove arsenite (As(III)) and arsenate (As(V)) from water. The structural, morphological, magnetic and surface properties were analyzed by XRD, TEM microscopy, FTIR and Raman vibrational spectroscopy, Mössbauer technique and N2 adsorption-desorption measurements. It was found that materials were composed of maghemite nanoparticles with crystallites diameters varying from 9 to 13 nm for bare Nps, binary and ternary nanocomposites, with these nanocomposites having a high percentage of maghemite phase (80%). The presence of TiO2 and GO in the binary and ternary materials was also confirmed. All the samples were found to show magnetic properties a...

El propósito de este artículo es presentar una actualiza-ción consensuada de múltiples autores latinoamericanossobre la prevalencia, fisiopatología, diagnóstico y trata-miento del síndrome del intestino irritable (SII) en adul-tos. Si bien el SII es un cuadro de alta prevalencia en todoel mundo y se han publicado estudios de diversas regio-nes1, en este artículo se hará hincapié en aspectos quepueden caracterizar la presentación de la enfermedad enla población de pacientes adultos latinoamericanos.El método utilizado ha sido el siguiente: los autores sereunieron de mayo a noviembre de 2003, se asignaron lostemas y hubo discusión hasta llegar a un consenso entrelos autores.Los conceptos que se presentan se basan en evidencias,ya sea de la bibliografía mundial más reciente como delas publicaciones latinoamericanas indexadas pertinentes.
