A non-isothermal physicochemical model for the reactive sputtering process is upgraded. The model is used for the description of hot metal target sputtering. The film synthesis on all surfaces of the vacuum chamber is given in a form of a surface chemical reaction. The target temperature is determined from the results of the discharge spectra measurement in the near-infrared region, and is approximated in the form of a function of the discharge current density. In order to provide a mathematical description of the reaction, the basic postulate of chemical kinetics taking into account the equation for Langmuir isotherm and the Arrhenius equation under nonisothermal conditions was used. The model incorporates thermionic emission and evaporation of the target surface. A system of eight algebraic equations describing the model is solved for titanium target sputtering in a nitrogen environment at a current density of 25-600 A/m². It has been shown that the target heating shifts the critical operating points of a target to the lower nitrogen flow rate region and reduces the width of the hysteresis loop as compared to a cold target. The influence of the target evaporation on the process appears at a current density exceeding 400 A/m².

Results are presented of experiments on ion production from Ta targets using a short pulse (350–600 ps in focus) illumination with focal power densities exceeding 1014 Wcm-2 at the wavelength of an iodine photodissociation laser (1.315 μm) and its harmonics. Strong evidence of the existence of tantalum ions with the charge state +45 near the target surface was obtained by X-ray spectroscopy methods. The particle diagnostics point to the existence of frozen high charge states (<53+) of Ta ions in the far expansion zone at about 2 m from the target. The measured charge state-ion energy distribution indicates the highest energy (>4 MeV) for the highest observed charge states. A tentative theoretical explanation of the observed anomalous charge state freezing phenomenon in the expanding plasma produced by a subnanosecond laser pulse is given.

A current theme in the study of the critical current density behavior of YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) grain boundaries is that their electromagnetic properties are heterogeneous on various length scales ranging from 10s of microns to ˜ 1 Å. Recently, combined electromagnetic and TEM studies on four flux-grown bicrystals have demonstrated a direct correlation between the length scale of the boundaries’ saw-tooth facet configurations and the apparent length scale of the electrical heterogeneity. In that work, enhanced critical current densities are observed at applied fields where the facet period is commensurate with the spacing of the Abrikosov flux vortices which must be pinned if higher critical current density values are recorded. To understand the microstructural origin of the flux pinning, the grain boundary topography and grain boundary dislocation (GBD) network structure of [001] tilt YBCO bicrystals were studied by TEM and HRTEM.

A CoMo2S4/Ni3S2 heterojunction is prepared with an overpotential of only 51 mV to drive a current density of 10 mA cm−2 in 1 M KOH solution and ∼100% of the potential remains in the ∼50 h chronopotentiometric curve at 10 mA cm−2.

Lanthanides (LnIII) are well known for their characteristic emission in the Near-Infrared Region (NIR). However, direct excitation of lanthanides is not feasible as described by Laporte’s parity selection rule. Here,...

AbstractSpectroscopic predictions can be used for the genetic improvement of meat quality traits in cattle. No information is however available on the genetics of meat absorbance spectra. This research investigated the phenotypic variation and the heritability of meat absorbance spectra at individual wavelengths in the ultraviolet–visible and near-infrared region (UV–Vis-NIR) obtained with portable spectrometers. Five spectra per instrument were taken on the ribeye surface of 1185 Piemontese young bulls from 93 farms (13,182 Herd-Book pedigree relatives). Linear animal model analyses of 1481 single-wavelengths from UV–Vis-NIRS and 125 from Micro-NIRS were carried out separately. In the overlapping regions, the proportions of phenotypic variance explained by batch/date of slaughter (14 ± 6% and 17 ± 7%,), rearing farm (6 ± 2% and 5 ± 3%), and the residual variances (72 ± 10% and 72 ± 5%) were similar for the UV–Vis-NIRS and Micro-NIRS, but additive genetics (7 ± 2% and 4 ± 2%) and heritability (8.3 ± 2.3% vs 5.1 ± 0.6%) were greater with the Micro-NIRS. Heritability was much greater for the visible fraction (25.2 ± 11.4%), especially the violet, blue and green colors, than for the NIR fraction (5.0 ± 8.0%). These results allow a better understanding of the possibility of using the absorbance of visible and infrared wavelengths correlated with meat quality traits for the genetic improvement in beef cattle.

AbstractDirect real-time observations of electromigration (EM) in submicron Al interconnects were made using a special sample-stage which allowed TEM observations to be recorded while simultaneously heating and passing current through the sample. The samples consisted of 4000 Å thick Al(0.5wt%Cu) patterned over a TEM-transparent window into five runners in parallel, with linewidths 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, and 1.0 μm. Both passivated and unpassivated samples were examined. A current density of 2 x 106A/cm2 was used with temperatures ranging from 200 - 350°C. The experiments were done using constant voltage testing, and we used a special sample design which dramatically minimized Joule-heating. Our approach has allowed us to directly observe voids form, grow, migrate, pin, fail a runner, and heal, all with respect to the detailed local microstructure of the runners.
