ABSTRACTThe formation and thermal stability of Ni- and Ni(Pt) silicide on narrow polycrystalline Si (poly-Si) lines have been investigated using the non-destructive micro-Raman technique. The presence of Ni or Ni(Pt)Si on poly-Si lines with linewidths ranging from 0.5 gtm to 0.25 μm has been monitored by a distinct Raman peak at around 215 cm−1. Ni(Pt)Si was clearly identified to be present up to a RTA temperature of 900°C on narrow poly-Si lines as compared to pure NiSi which was found only up to 750°C. Raman scattering from the 100×100 μm2 poly-Si pads showed the formation of NiSi2 at 750°C for pure Ni-salicidation and 900°C for Ni(Pt)-salicidation respectively. The difference in the stability of NiSi on the poly-Si pads and lines is discussed in terms of agglomeration, inversion and/or nucleation of NiSi2that could be due to difference in nucleation sites and/or stress. In addition, a correlation between the line sheet resistance and the presence of Ni silicide was found using micro-Raman mapping along single poly-Si lines.

Some functional luminol derivatives with aromatic substituted groups have been designed and synthesized from the reaction of the corresponding aromatic acyl chloride precursors with luminol. It has been found that depending on the size of aromatic groups, the formed luminol derivatives showed different properties, indicating distinct regulation of molecular skeletons. UV and IR data confirmed commonly the formation of imide group as well as aromatic segment in molecular structures. Thermal analysis showed that the thermal stability of luminol derivatives with p-phthaloyl segment was the highest in those derivatives. The difference of thermal stability is mainly attributed to the formation of imide group and aromatic substituent groups in molecular structure. The present results have demonstrated that the special properties of luminol derivatives can be turned by modifying molecular structures of objective compounds with proper substituted groups, which show potential application in functional material field and ECL sensor.

Functional luminol derivative with cholesteryl substituted group has been designed and synthesized from the reaction of the corresponding precursor cholesteryl chloroformate with luminol. It has been found that depending on cholesteryl substituted group, the formed luminol derivative showed different properties, indicating distinct regulation of molecular skeleton. UV and IR data confirmed commonly the formation of imide group as well as cholesteryl segment in molecular structure. Thermal analysis showed that the thermal stability of luminol derivative with cholesteryl segment was different from luminol. The difference of thermal stability is mainly attributed to the formation of imide group and cholesteryl substituent group in molecular structure. The present results have demonstrated that the special properties of luminol derivative can be turned by modifying molecular structure of objective compound with proper substituted groups, which show potential application in functional material fields such as liquid crystal and ECL sensor.

Abstract. Polyaniline (PANI) and p-phenylenediamine (p-PDA)-aniline copolymer were prepared via a same microemulsion method. The structures of the PANI and p-PDA-aniline copolymer were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis(TGA). The results revealed the difference of synthesis and characterization between PANI and p-PDA-aniline copolymer. It was shown that structure of the copolymer is almost similar to that of PANI, but the p-PDA-aniline copolymer has a better crystallization than PANI, and the thermal stability of the copolymer is higher than that of pure PANI.

Some functional Schiff base derivatives with azobenzene substituted groups have been designed and synthesized from the reaction of aminoazobenzene with different aromatic aldehydes. It has been found that depending on the size of aromatic groups, the formed Schiff base derivatives showed different properties, indicating distinct regulation of molecular skeletons. UV and IR data confirmed commonly the formation of Schiff base as well as aromatic segment in molecular structures. Thermal analysis showed that the thermal stability of Schiff base molecules with naphthalene segment increased slightly in comparison with other derivatives. The difference of thermal stability is mainly attributed to the formation of Schiff base group and aromatic substituent groups in molecular structure. The present results have demonstrated that the special properties of Schiff base derivatives can be turned by modifying molecular structures of objective compounds with proper substituted groups, which show potential application in functional material field.

We investigated the effect of SiOcap layer on the thermal stability of nickel and nickel-cobalt silicide by measuring its sheet resistance. The stability of nickel silicide was deteriorated as a function of annealing temperature, while that of nickel-cobalt silicide was not. In case of both silicides, the SiOcap layer improved the stability. Tensile stress from the difference of thermal expansion coefficients between SiO2 and nickel silicide may suppress the agglomeration of nickel silicide.

ABSTRACTThe beneficial effects of the support constraint on the improved thermal stability of supported titania membranes were studied by following the anatase to rutile phase transformation in supported and unsupported titania membranes. This was studied using Raman spectroscopy and XRD. Supported membranes showed a higher transformation temperature, about 150°C higher, (slower rate of transformation) compared to the unsupported ones. Unsupported membranes showed a slight thickness dependence on the phase transformation temperature, but less significant compared to the difference in phase transformation behaviour between supported and unsupported membranes of similar thicknesses.

Intrinsic thermal stability denotes a situation where a superconductor can carry the operating current without resistance at all times after the occurrence of a localized release of thermal energy. This novel stability criterion is different from the cryogenic stability criteria for magnets and has particular relevance to thin-film superconductors. Crystals of ceramic high-temperature superconductors are likely to exhibit anisotropic thermal conductivity. The resultant anisotropy of highly oriented films of superconductors greatly influences their thermal stability. This work presents an analysis for the maximum operating current density that ensures intrinsic stability. The stability criterion depends on the amount of released energy, the Biot number, the aspect ratio, and the ratio of the thermal conductivities in the plane of the film and normal to it.

AbstractThe stability of compressive residual stresses generated by deep rolling plays a decisive role on the fatigue behavior of specimens and components, respectively. In this regard, deep rolling at elevated temperature has proven to be very effective in stabilizing residual stresses when fatigue analysis is conducted at ambient temperature. However, since residual stresses can be affected not only by plastic deformation but also when thermal energy is provided, it is necessary to analyze the influence of temperature and time on the relaxation behavior of residual stresses at elevated temperature. To evaluate the effect of deep rolling at elevated temperatures on stability limits under thermal as well as combined thermo-mechanical loads, the present work introduces and discusses the results of investigations on the thermal stability of residual stresses in differently deep rolled material conditions of the steel SAE 1045.

AbstractSeveral inorganic/organic nanocomposites were prepared via solution-blending of cage-like octahexyl-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (Oh-POSS) with polystyrene (PS) in THF solvent. FTIR and 29Si-NMR were employed to characterize the structures of the nanocomposites. SEM pictures showed that the sample films were smooth and no POSS aggregation was observed when POSS content was lower than 1.0 wt%. TGA and DSC were used to investigate the thermal property. The results showed that the incorporation of nanosized Oh-POSS enhanced the thermal stability of PS with low POSS content. When 1.0 wt% of Oh-POSS was incorporated into PS matrix, the Tg and Td increased by 7.7 °C and 8.2 °C, respectively. However, higher POSS contents (>1.0 wt%) would deteriorate the thermal property of the nanocomposites due to the severe congregation of POSS..
