The latter samples were stratified into biomass, standing dead mass and litter for net above ground primary production (NAPP) assessment.
An artificial matrix was constructed to plot a calibration curve and quantify the results of the latter samples.
In the latter samples, only a partial passivation of both type of defects, whose nature is discussed, has been achieved.
However, the latter samples were diverse, belonging to three different subgroups (16SrII-A, II-C, and II-D).
X-ray diffraction data demonstrated that the former samples were amorphous, while the latter samples formed silicon nitride (Si3N4) crystals.
However, contrary to the latter samples the presence of niobium does not increase the stability of the modifier (oxidized MPTMS).
TPR results showed that lattice oxygen in the former samples could be reduced at temperatures lower than those in the latter samples.
Under the experimental conditions selected, the latter samples are shown to be homogeneous in composition, irrespective of the monomer feed composition.
However, a clear correlation between density and hardness is established by comparison with results for bulk MgB2 produced by resistive sintering, which confirms that a classical sintering process has been induced in the latter samples.
The latter samples exhibit a significantly reduced photocurrent response at short wavelengths and an essentially higher concentration of ionised donors as compared with the films obtained by the pulsed discharge method.
The differences reflect bias in the latter samples.
