A temperature-modulated pyroelectricity measurement system for a small single crystal is developed and applied to standard sample measurements performed on a thin single crystal of lithium niobate. The modulation measurement is based on the AC technique, in which the temperature of the sample is periodically oscillated, and the synchronized pyroelectric signal is extracted using a lock-in amplifier. Temperature modulation is applied by irradiating periodic light on the sample placed in the heat exchange gas. To apply this technique to the transparent reference sample, a commercially available black resin is coated on the sample’s surface to absorb the light energy and transmits it to the specimen. The experimental results are analyzed using a two-layer heat transfer model to verify the effect of the light-absorbing layer as well as the radiative temperature modulation system.

Abstract In this paper new thermographic techniques with significant improved temperature and/or spatial resolution are presented and compared with existing techniques. In infrared (IR) lock-in thermography heat sources in an electronic device are periodically activated electrically, and the surface is imaged by a free-running IR camera. By computer processing and averaging the images over a certain acquisition time, a surface temperature modulation below 100 µK can be resolved. Moreover, the effective spatial resolution is considerably improved compared to stead-state thermal imaging techniques, since the lateral heat diffusion is suppressed in this a.c. technique. However, a serious limitation is that the spatial resolution is limited to about 5 microns due to the IR wavelength range of 3 -5 µm used by the IR camera. Nevertheless, we demonstrate that lock-in thermography reliably allows the detection of defects in ICs if their power exceeds some 10 µW. The imaging can be performed also through the silicon substrate from the backside of the chip. Also the well-known fluorescent microthermal imaging (FMI) technique can be be used in lock-in mode, leading to a temperature resolution in the mK range, but a spatial resolution below 1 micron.

This paper presents a crossed rib diffuser (CRD) as an effective tool for room acoustic control. We performed an experimental investigation of its effectiveness using a specimen manufactured for this trial. The CRD is constructed by overlapping two one-dimensional (1D) periodic rib diffusers with different specifications so that they are crossed at non-right angles. The CRD achieves a higher scattering coefficient than 1D periodic rib diffusers in a wide band while maintaining the simple and friendly design of 1D periodic rib diffusers applicable to various architectural spaces. Moreover, inserting an absorbing layer between upper and lower ribs of the CRD, (CRD-A) yields a high broadband absorption coefficient. We first evaluated the random-incidence scattering coefficient of CRD using a 1/5 scaled model in comparison with those of 1D periodic diffusers assessed with a numerical method. Then, absorption coefficients for the CRD and the CRD-A were measured using a reverberation room. Subsequently, an experiment on a small meeting room with a 1D periodic rib diffuser, the CRD and the CRD-A was conducted to present performance of the CRD in room acoustic control. Impulse response measurements and evaluations of reverberation parameters (T20 and EDT) and speech clarity (D50) were conducted. Additionally, we present differences in structure of reflected sounds found for the flat wall, the CRD and the CRD-A visually using a four-channel sound field microphone.

With the increasing application of electrofusion (EF) welding in connecting polyethylene (PE) pipes for gas distribution, more effort has been invested to ensure the safety of the pipeline systems. The objective of this paper is to investigate and understand the temperature distribution during EF welding. A one-dimensional transient heat-transfer model was proposed, taking the variation in the rate of power input, the phase transition of PE, and the thermal contact conductance between heating wire and PE into consideration. Then, experiments were designed to verify the power input and the temperature. The measured values of the power input were shown to be in good agreement with the analytical results. Based on ultrasonic test (UT), a new “Eigen-line” method was presented, which overcomes the difficulties found in the thermocouples’ temperature measurements. The results demonstrate good agreements between prediction and experiment. Finally, based on the presented model, a detailed parametric study was carried out to investigate the influences of the variation in the power input, the physical properties of PE, and the thermal contact conductance between heating wire and surrounding PE.

Abstract. We utilize a multiphase model, CON-AIR (Condensed Phase to Air Transfer Model), to show that the photochemistry of nitrate (NO3−) in and on ice and snow surfaces, specifically the quasi-liquid layer (QLL), can account for NOx volume fluxes, concentrations, and [NO]/[NO2] (γ=[NO]/[NO2]) measured just above the Arctic and coastal Antarctic snowpack. Maximum gas phase NOx volume fluxes, concentrations and γ simulated for spring and summer range from 5.0×104 to 6.4×105 molecules cm−3 s−1, 5.7×108 to 4.8×109 molecules cm−3, and ~0.8 to 2.2, respectively, which are comparable to gas phase NOx volume fluxes, concentrations and γ measured in the field. The model incorporates the appropriate actinic solar spectrum, thereby properly weighting the different rates of photolysis of NO3− and NO2−. This is important since the immediate precursor for NO, for example, NO2−, absorbs at wavelengths longer than nitrate itself. Finally, one-dimensional model simulations indicate that both gas phase boundary layer NO and NO2 exhibit a negative concentration gradient as a function of height although [NO]/[NO2] are approximately constant. This gradient is primarily attributed to gas phase reactions of NOx with halogens oxides (i.e. as BrO and IO), HOx, and hydrocarbons, such as CH3O2.

AbstractThe cyano-bridged heteronuclear coordination polymer of zinc(II)/nickel(II) has been prepared by N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-ethylendiamine (hydet-en), alternatively named 2-(2-aminoethylamino)-ethanol and characterised by IR and thermal analysis. In the bimetallic complex, the decomposition of hydet-en ligands is seen to be endothermic whereas that of the cyano ligands is found to be exothermic. The crystal structure of the complex has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of the zinc(II)-nickel(II) complex consists of a one-dimensional polymeric chain –Zn(hydet-en)

ABSTRACTMany-body forces obtained by the Embedded-Atom Method (EAM) [41 are incorporated into the description of low energy collisions and surface ejection processes in molecular dynamics simulations of sputtering from metal targets. Bombardments of small, single crystal Cu targets (400–500 atoms) in three different orientations ({100}, {110}, {111}) by 5 keV Ar+ ions have been simulated. The results are compared to simulations using purely pair-wise additive interactions. Significant differences in the spectra of ejected atoms are found.
