Receptor Models are tools widely adopted in source apportionment studies. We describe here an experiment in which we integrated two different approaches, i.e. Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) and Chemical Mass Balance (CMB) to apportion a set of PM10 (i.e. Particulate Matter with aerodynamic diameter lower than 10 μm) concentration values....

Thermo-optical analysis is widely adopted for the quantitative determination of total, TC, organic, OC and elemental, EC, Carbon in aerosol samples collected on quartz fibre filters. Nevertheless, the methodology presents several issues in particular about the artefacts related to the formation of pyrolytic carbon. It is usually neglected the...

Here we report on the development of an unconventional approach for the physical synthesis of laterally ordered self-organized arrays of metallic nanowires supported on nanostructured dielectric templates. The method, based on a combination of nanoscale patterning of the glass substrate by ion beam sputtering with shadow deposition of the metal...
