ABSTRACTRaman scattering results on porous silicon, and silicon and gallium arsenide nanocrystals show that almost all vibrational modes become Raman active and remarkably soft in these nanocrystal systems. The experimental results further demonstrate that the carrier-induced strain effects play an important role on the optical properties of such nanocrystal systems.

ABSTRACTWe have used electron microscopy to examine the microstructure of porous silicon films over a wide range of doping levels, and photoluminescence spectroscopy to study their optical properties. We discuss the impact of our experimental results on models from the literature which were proposed to explain visible luminescence from porous silicon.

ABSTRACTThe characterization of porous silicon layers by optical reflectance spectroscopy in the infrared, visible and UV is presented. A fit of simulated to measured spectra is used to interprete the experimental results. We stress that the microgeometry of the porous system determines the optical properties to a large extent and must be taken into account in a correct way in order to achieve reliable results.

Highly transparent indium-free multilayers of TiO2/Cu/TiO2 were obtained by means of annealing. The effects of Cu thickness and annealing temperature on the electrical and optical properties were investigated. The critical thickness of Cu mid-layer with optimal electrical and optical properties was 10 nm, with the figure of merit reaching as high as 5 × 10−3 Ω−1. Partial crystallization of the TiO2 layer enhanced the electrical and optical properties upon annealing. Electrothermal experiments showed that temperatures of more than 100 °C can be reached at a heating rate of 2 °C/s without any damage to the multilayers. The experimental results indicate that reliable transparent TiO2/Cu/TiO2 multilayers can be used for electrothermal application.

The fitness-for-service code requires the characterization of non-aligned multiple flaws for the flaw evaluation, which is performed using a flaw proximity rule. Worldwide almost all codes provide own proximity rule, often with unclear technical bases of the application of proximity rule to ductile fracture. To clarify the appropriate proximity rule for non-aligned multiple flaws in fully plastic fracture, fracture tests on flat plate specimen with non-aligned multiple through wall flaws were conducted at ambient temperature. The emphasis of this study was put on the flaw alignment rule, which determines whether non-aligned flaws are treated as independent or aligned onto the same plane for the purpose of flaw evaluations. The effects of the flaw separation and flaw size on the maximum load were investigated. The experimental results were compared with the estimations of the collapse load using the alignment rules in the ASME Section XI, BS7910 and API 579-1 codes. A new estimation procedure specific to the fully plastic fracture was proposed and compared with the comparison with the experimental results.
