In this paper the spectrum of optical normal transmission not polarized of TlGaSe2 is measured as a function of pressure up to 27.6 GPa at room temperature. Our results show that in the range of the visible exist the contributions of two direct gaps of energy, which present a linear dependence with the pressure. The weak transition <img border=0 src="../../../../../img/revistas/rmf/v56n3/a6s1.jpg">assigned to the fundamental gap of energy, decreases up to 1.5 GPa with a linear coefficien of -5.31 × l0-2 eVGPa-¹ and the transition <img border=0 src="../../../../../img/revistas/rmf/v56n3/a6s2.jpg">shows a coefficien of -9.95 × 10-² eVGPa-¹ up to 5.3 GPa (limit of pressure in the visible spectrum). The results in the infrared do not show the presence of the transition E A allowing to see only the behavior of the second transition rightly up to the pressure of metallization 24.6 GPa. In the range of pressure studied from 0.0 to 27.6 GPa, the transition E B shows a not linear behavior with the pressure of quadratic coefficien 1.83 × l0-3 eVGPa-2.

En el presente estudio hemos medido el espectro de transmisión óptica normal no polarizado en el compuesto semiconductor laminar TlGaSe2, hasta la presión de 27.6 GPa. Nuestros resultados muestran que en el rango del visible existe la contribución de dos brechas de energía directas, que presentan una dependencia lineal con la presión. La transición débil <img border=0 src="../../../../../img/revistas/rmf/v56n3/a6s1.jpg">, asignada a la brecha fundamental de energía, decrece hasta los 0.9 GPa con un coeficient lineal de -5.31 × l0-² eVGPa-¹ y la transición <img border=0 src="../../../../../img/revistas/rmf/v56n3/a6s2.jpg">muestra un coeficient de -9.95 × 10-² eVGPa-¹ hasta 5.3 GPa (límite de presión en el espectro visible). Los resultados en el infrarrojo no muestran la presencia de la transición E A, dejando ver solamente el comportamiento de la segunda transición justo hasta la presión de metalización 24.6 GPa. En el rango de presión estudiado de 0.0 a 27.6 GPa, la transición E B muestra un comportamiento no lineal con la presión de coeficient cuadrático 1.83 × l0-3 eVGPa-2.

Em ensaio conduzido em vasos, a céu aberto, estudou-se a reação de Annona squamosa em relação a três nematóides fitoparasitos. As plantas foram inoculadas com 10.000 exemplares de Radopholus similis, Rotylenchulus reniformis ou Meloidogyne exigua por recipiente. Avaliaram-se, após três meses da inoculação, a altura das plantas, o peso fresco do sistema radicular e o número de nematóides nas raízes e no solo. O estudo revelou que a Annona squamosa comportou-se como resistente a Rotylenchulus reniformis e a Meloidogyne exigua, e intolerante a Radopholus similis.

The host reaction of custard apple (Annona squamosa) to three species of nematodes was studied. The plants were inoculated with 10,000 specimens per plant of Radopholus similis, Rotylenchulus reniformis or Meloidogyne exigua. Nematode population and plant growth parameters were evaluated three months later. The results showed that custard apple was resistent to Rotylenchulus reniformis and Meloidogyne exigua but intolerant to Radopholus similis.
