The etching characteristics of CVD (chemical vapour deposition) diamond films processed with an ECR (electron cyclotron resonance) oxygen plasma are investigated. The etching rate increases linearly with increasing microwave power in the range from 100 to 300 W. For any value of microwave power, the etching rate first…

In this work, we have studied bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) thin films on Si(100) and SiO2/Si(100) substrates grown by Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) technique. The morphology of the surface was controlled by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Reflection and transmission experiments in the mid-infrared (MIR) spectral range were perf…

A constitutive law to model the strain-rate-dependent compression behavior of concrete is proposed. It is derived from a mechanical model, where inertia effects influence damage formation. To verify this model an experimental method based on the split Hopkinson bar (SHB) technique is described, one that considers the…

The electrochemical behavior of a soluble polyimide (Tani-polyimide) derived from an aniline trimer was investigated. Similar to processes observed in polyaniline, two typical redox processes involving protonation and ion insertion were observed. Due to the presence of an isolated, short quinonediimine or N,N′-dipheny…

Abstract The thermal behavior of blends of nylon 6,6, with an amorphous polyamide, Trogamid‐T, and a semicrystalline polyamide, nylon 6,12, was studied. The blends were prepared both by solution blending and by melt blending, using a Maxwell extruder and a twin screw extruder. The concentration of the blends ranged fr…

A new structure is proposed to improve the external quantum efficiency of porous silicon (PS) light emitting diodes (LED). It is based on a heterojunction between n-type doped silicon and PS. The heterojunction is formed due to the doping selectivity of the etching process used to form PS. The improvement of the propo…

An ab initio linear augmented-plane-wave (LAPW) calculation of the zone-center phonon frequencies of SnO has been performed. ${E}_{g}$ symmetry has been ascribed to the mode observed at $113 {\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ in Raman measurements, discarding a previous ${B}_{1g}$ assignment. The other phonon modes meas…
