In this paper, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is used to study the thermal properties of methyl silsesquioxane (MSQ), an important low-dielectric-constant organic spin-on glass for semiconductor device fabrication. The compositional and structural changes of MSQ with temperature are investigated in de…

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements have been made of amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-C:H) films grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with negative self-bias voltages ${V}_{b}$ in the approximate range 10--540 V. For ${V}_{b}<100\mathrm{V},$ as the film changes from polymerlike…

Through hardening bearing steels with low alloy content are sometimes surface hardened by induction hardening to implement compressive residual stresses into the surface. This method is not regularly applied for steels with high alloy content especially not for applications in the aerospace and space industry. Here ca…

An analytical method for the determination of uranium enrichment in uranium oxide without using any calibration standards is described. Very good agreement between the measured and certified values was obtained in the analysis of a Standard Reference Material. Precise energies and emission probabilities were derived f…

A seminal model describing the kinetics of growth of thin oxide films on metal crystals was proposed by Cabrera and Mott (CM). The model is based on the assumption that the growth is limited by the field-facilitated activated jumps of metal ions located in steps on the metal–oxide interface. We generalize the CM model…

A Ce‐TZP/platelike La(Co(Fe 0.9 Al 0.1 ) 11 )O 19 composite was synthesized in situ while sintering from a mixture of Ce‐TZP, La(Fe 0.9 Al 0.1 )O 3 , Fe 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 , and CoO powders. Platelike La(Co(Fe 0.9 Al 0.1 ) 11 )O 19 crystals were grown in a dense Ce‐TZP matrix after sintering at temperatures of 1200°–135…

Dipping and photo-induced liquid crystal (LC) alignments were demonstrated using new silanes as surface coupling agents. In the dipping method, both homogeneous and homeotropic alignments can be achieved depending on the alkyl chain length of the silane employed. The 110°C post curing temperature makes the dipping met…

A mechanism of room-temperature irradiation-induced strengthening of alkali-halide crystals (AHCs) is suggested. It is shown that the deformation-stimulated luminescence is a result of the destruction of hole color centers, which strengthen AHCs, by dislocations.

We have investigated the phenomenon of field-induced smectic layer instability, as monitored by synchrotron x-ray scattering. This instability means that, upon application of time-asymmetric electric fields to chiral smectics, the layer direction seems to "rotate" locally around an axis given by the direction of the a…
