Density values in the range 3.0 3.7 g/cm3 were obtained for most of the samples prepared with deposition rates between 0.5 and 1.1 μm/h, although higher density values were obtained for higher Ti deposition rates, with maximum of approximately 4.7 g/cm3 for the case of samples with low Si content.
To the resulting T2-distributions, it was possible to assign three log-Gaussians for all the samples (see example in Figure 6b), except for the case of samples treated with NaOH 3% and NaOH 4%, for which we assigned only two log-Gaussians.
For example, in the case of sample b and sample e, the intensity ratio [I 002)/I(101)] increases, its values larger than 1 being correlated with a high degree of orientation on the c-axis of the ZnO crystallites.
KPFM maps transformations were estimated also for height of 40 nm (Additional file 1: Figure S1) as well as for the cases of sample and tip grounded (see Additional file 1: Figure S2).
Spectra were only characterized by peaks corresponding to sulfate minerals, such as gypsum (414 cm−1, 493 cm−1008008 cm−1 and 1135 cm−1) and to SiO2 (463 cm−1) in the case of samples used for silicification41 (Fig. 3b and c).
For the case of small sample size, the Bayesian approach shows slight superiority in the estimation of the treatment effect compared to the frequentist counterpart.
An example of deconvolution of one such broad peak is shown in Figure 4 for the case of the sample hydrogenated at a rate of 0.4 ml/min and annealed for 4 h.
Gaussian deconvolution of a broad IR peak between approximately 835 and 1,000 cm−1 for the case of the sample hydrogenated at a rate of 0.4 ml/min (H content = 10.8 at.%) and annealed for 4 h.
The simulation results for the case of balanced sample sizes are comparable to the data presented in table 3, table 4 and table 5. To summarize the results of the simulation study, the estimator DS performs well in most simulation trials in case of J ≥ 0.6.
For the case of mortar samples incorporating GGBFS, the L mortar sample exhibited the greatest drying shrinkage strain among the investigated mortar mixes.
