ResumenSe fabricaron películas delgadas nanoestructuradas de dióxido de Titanio (TiO2) a partir del método de deposición en baño químico (CBD por sus siglas en inglés) variando en un amplio rango los parámetros de síntesis: tiempo de depósito, temperatura y pH de la solución. A partir del estudio de las propiedades estructurales se estableció la existencia de las fases Rutilo y Brookita en el material, siendo ésta última favorecida por la presencia del Hidróxido de Amonio (NH4OH) como reactivo en la solución. Usando medidas de microscopía electrónica de barrido (SEM por sus siglas en inglés) se pudo evidenciar la dependencia del método con la formación de nanoestructuras tipo nanoflores o nanorrodillos. Por medio de espectroscopía UV-Vis-NIR (transmitancia y reflectancia) se obtuvo la brecha energética de las muestras y se evidenció una alta absorción en la región del ultravioleta del espectro de radiación.

From the study of the structural properties, the existence of the Rutile and Brookite phases was established in the material, the latter being favored due to the presence of Ammonium Hydroxide (NH4OH) as a reactive in the solution. Using scanning electron microscopy measurements (SEM) the dependence of the method with the formation of nanoflowers or nanorod-like structures was corroborated. Through UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy (transmitance and reflectance), the energy gap of the samples was obtained and evidence of high absorption in the UV region of the radiation spectra was found.
ResumenEn este trabajo se presenta el proceso de construcción e implementación usando una cavidad de cuerpo negro y un termómetro de contacto como patrones de medida. Como parte de la implementación y evaluación de la reproducibilidad del método de medición se diseñó un experimento basado en 54 mediciones independientes llevadas a cabo por tres operarios diferentes a tres temperaturas (35 • C, 37 • C y 40 • C), con 6 réplicas por cada nivel. El análisis estadístico de las medias reveló una fuerte dependencia de la corrección en función de la temperatura, mientras que entre operarios no se evidenció una diferencia significativa, lo cual permitió concluir que el método implementado es reproducible. La incertidumbre de medición del sistema de medición fue de ± 0,14 • C,éste valor puede ser disminuido empleando un termómetro de referencia de mejor incertidumbre de medición. Andrés J.

Main text This report presents the results of a comparison in the context of an international collaboration that gives confidence in the relative humidity measurements carried out by several Latin-American institutes within the Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) of the International Committee on Weights and Measures (CIPM). This interlaboratory comparison of humidity standards, the first one in Latin-America and one of the few of this type in the world, was organized in two rounds and carried out by the following National Metrology Institutes: INMETRO (Brazil), IBMETRO (Bolivia), INEN (Ecuador), INM (Colombia), CENAMEP AIP (Panama), ENAER (Chile), INTI (Argentina), LATU (Uruguay) and INTN (Paraguay). The interlaboratory comparison was performed in the scope of relative humidity in the range from 30 %rh to 90 %rh at temperatures of 20 °C and 40 °C. In this comparison, INMETRO was the reference laboratory, and acted as coordinator together with IBMETRO. Two thermohygrometers with capacitive humidity sensors were used as transfer standards, which were calibrated three times by the reference laboratory during the course of the interlaboratory comparison. A technical protocol prepared by INMETRO and IBMETRO circulated among the participants for comments. To sum up, the participants used their own calibration procedures for calibrating the transfer standards together with some instructions given in the technical protocol. Besides, the participants had to submit with the measurement results the respective uncertainties estimated according to their internal procedures and the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM). The performance of each participating laboratory was evaluated by comparing its measurements results with those of the reference laboratory by means of the normalized error, according to ISO/IEC 17043:2010, and by the degree of equivalence.

The final report has been peer-reviewed and approved for publication by the CCT, according to the provisions of the CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement (CIPM MRA).
