Abstract Nitrogen-doped indium tin oxide (ITO) has been applied in the thin-film strain gauges (TFSGs) due to their high stability, excellent piezoresistivity and antioxidation at elevated temperatures. However, the mechanism on the sensing and stability of the nitrogen-doped ITO TFSGs at high temperatures was not comprehensively clarified. In this work, various ITO TFSGs were fabricated by RF magnetron sputtering with different nitrogen partial pressures (NPPs) of 5%~40%. The elemental composition and band structures of the ITO TFSGs were examined by the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. Results show that the Fermi energy level shifts closer to the valence band maximum energy (Ev) gradually with the growth of NPPs, causing a reduction in the number of electrons ionized to the conduction band. The smallest content change rates of nitrogen (3.8%) and oxygen (1.6%) after subjecting to the thermal strain test were observed in the 20%N2 ITO TFSG. In consequence, the 20%N2 ITO TFSG exhibits the lowest resistance drift rate (DR) at high temperatures due to its stable elemental composition. Moreover, we found that the band structures and elemental composition of the ITO TFSGs are the main factors affecting their piezoresistive response at different temperatures. The band structures play a major role in the gauge factors (GFs) of the ITO TFSGs at room temperature and 600 ℃. The element variation takes responsibility for the different GFs of the ITO TFSGs at 800℃, 900℃ and 1000℃. In addition, the piezoresistive stability is also dependent on the elemental composition affected by the dynamic equilibrium between the diffusion amount of oxygen and the escape number of the nitrogen in the ITO thin films at high temperatures.

Seismic Frequencies

Forced-oscillation stress-strain laboratory measurements are increasingly employed to obtain elastic and viscoelastic properties of rocks at seismic frequencies. Yet these measurements are time-consuming and expensive, due in part to the use of metal or semiconductor strain gauges, which need to be glued to the sample. Such gauges are fragile, have relatively low sensitivity, and measure very local strain only so the measurements can be affected by a slight misalignment of the system assembly and local heterogeneity of the rock. The emergence of fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology provides an alternative means of measuring strain. Strain measurements with DAS involve winding an optical fiber around the sample multiple times and connecting it to a DAS recording unit. Pilot experiments performed using this setup on a range of rocks and materials show good agreement with strain gauge measurements. Advantages of DAS over strain gauges include much higher strain sensitivity (down to 10−11) and signal-to-noise ratio (and hence, shorter time required for measurements), larger dynamic range, ability to measure average (rather than local) strain in the sample, and robustness at elevated temperatures. Although the pilot experiments demonstrate the potential of DAS for rock physics measurements, further research and improvement of the proposed methodology are required to obtain independent estimates of Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio and to port the system into a pressure vessel to obtain rock properties under in-situ conditions.

Rare Earth Fluorides

There has been considerable interest over the past several years in materials capable of converting infrared radiation to visible light by means of sequential excitation in two or more steps. Several rare-earth trifluorides (LaF3, YF3, GdF3, and LuF3) containing a small amount of other trivalent rare-earth ions (Yb3+ and Er3+, or Ho3+, or Tm3+) have been found to exhibit such phenomenon. The methods of preparation of these rare-earth fluorides in the crystalline solid form generally involve a co-precipitation process and a subsequent solid state reaction at elevated temperatures. This investigation was undertaken to examine the morphological features of both the precipitated and the thermally treated fluoride powders by both transmission and scanning electron microscopy.Rare-earth oxides of stoichiometric composition were dissolved in nitric acid and the mixed rare-earth fluoride was then coprecipitated out as fine granules by the addition of excess hydrofluoric acid. The precipitated rare-earth fluorides were washed with water, separated from the aqueous solution, and oven-dried.

Growth Of Voids

Some information on the size and density of voids that develop in several high purity metals and alloys during irradiation with neutrons at elevated temperatures has been reported as a function of irradiation parameters. An area of particular interest is the nucleation and early growth stage of voids. It is the purpose of this paper to describe the microstructure in high purity nickel after irradiation to a very low but constant neutron exposure at three different temperatures.Annealed specimens of 99-997% pure nickel in the form of foils 75μ thick were irradiated in a capsule to a total fluence of 2.2 × 1019 n/cm2 (E > 1.0 MeV). The capsule consisted of three temperature zones maintained by heaters and monitored by thermocouples at 350, 400, and 450°C, respectively. The temperature was automatically dropped to 60°C while the reactor was down.

Face Centered

Recent studies have shown the presence of voids in several face-centered cubic metals after neutron irradiation at elevated temperatures. These voids were found when the irradiation temperature was above 0.3 Tm where Tm is the absolute melting point, and were ascribed to the agglomeration of lattice vacancies resulting from fast neutron generated displacement cascades. The present paper reports the existence of similar voids in the body-centered cubic metals tungsten and molybdenum.

The present paper describes research on the mechanical properties and related dislocation structure of CdTe, a II-VI semiconductor compound with a wide range of uses in electrical and optical devices. At room temperature CdTe exhibits little plasticity and at the same time relatively low strength and hardness. The mechanical behavior of CdTe was examined at elevated temperatures with the goal of understanding plastic flow in this material and eventually improving the room temperature properties. Several samples of single crystal CdTe of identical size and crystallographic orientation were deformed in compression at 300°C to various levels of total strain. A resolved shear stress vs. compressive glide strain curve (Figure la) was derived from the results of the tests and the knowledge of the sample orientation.

Periodic Layer

Random copolyesters composed of wholly aromatic monomers such as p-oxybenzoate (B) and 2,6-oxynaphthoate (N) are known to exhibit liquid crystalline characteristics at elevated temperatures and over a broad composition range. Previous studies employing techniques such as X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) have conclusively proven that these thermotropic copolymers can possess a significant crystalline fraction, depending on molecular characteristics and processing history, despite the fact that the copolymer chains possess random intramolecular sequencing. Consequently, the nature of the crystalline structure that develops when these materials are processed in their mesophases and subsequently annealed has recently received considerable attention. A model that has been consistent with all experimental observations involves the Non-Periodic Layer (NPL) crystallite, which occurs when identical monomer sequences enter into register between adjacent chains. The objective of this work is to employ electron microscopy to identify and characterize these crystallites.

Shear Transformation

The rare earth/transition element intermetallics R2T17 are essentially topologically close packed phases for which layer structure models have already been presented. Many of these compounds are known to undergo allotropic transformation of the type at elevated temperatures. It is not unexpected that shear transformation mechanisms are involved in view of the layering character of the structures. The transformations are evidently quite sluggish, illustrated in furnace cooled Dy2Co17 by the fact that only rarely has the low temperature rhombohedral form been seen. The more usual structures observed so far in furnace cooled alloys include 4H and 6H in Dy2Co17 (Figs. 1 and 2) . In any event it is quite clear that the general microstructure is very complicated as a consequence of the allotropy, illustrated in Fig. 3. Numerous planar defects in the layer plane orientation are evident as are non-layer plane defects inherited from a high temperature structure.
