To investigate the temperature dependency of the methane bubble dissolution rate, buoyant single methane bubbles were held stationary in a countercurrent water flow at a pressure of 6.9 MPa and temperatures ranging from 288 K to 303 K. The 1 to 3 mm diameter bubbles were analyzed by observation through the pressure chamber viewport using a bi-telecentric CCD camera. The dissolution rate in artificial seawater was approximately two times smaller than that in pure water. Furthermore, it was observed that the methane bubble dissolution rate increased with temperature, suggesting that bubble dissolution is a thermal activation process (the activation energy is estimated to be 9.0 kJ/mol). The results were different from the expected values calculated using the governing equation for methane dissolution in water. The dissolution modeling of methane bubbles in the mid-to-shallow depth of seawater was revised based on the current results.

A series of accelerated degradation experiments at high temperatures have been performed for Pd-coated V-10 mol% Fe alloy membranes in order to investigate the degradation behavior of hydrogen permeability. The degradation of the membrane becomes severer with increasing testing temperature. The temperature dependence of the 20% degradation rate almost obeys the Arrhenius relationship, suggesting that the degradation phenomenon occurs by a kind of thermal activation process. It is found that the addition of a small amount of W into Pd overlayer improves the durability of the membrane significantly.

AbstractWe report the results of junction capacitance measurements on thin tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) films to deduce their defect densities. We find defect densities in the range 3 - 7 × 1017 cm−3 in the undoped ta-C films, and roughly an order of magnitude larger in the nitrogen doped (n-type) films. In some cases fairly uniform defect profiles were obtained covering a thickness of a couple of hundreds angstroems. We also observed a thermal activation process of carriers from defect states at the ta-C/c-Si interface with an activation energy in the range of 0.4eV to 0.5eV.

ABSTRACTGe surface segregation on Si(100) and Si(111) substrates during silicon molecular beam epitaxy is studied as a function of growth temperature. During growth, the Ge atoms are partly incorporated into the growing layer and the residuals segregate on the grown surface. The incorporation coefficient cannot be expressed in terms of a simple thermal activation process. That is, the Ge segregation phenomena increase to maxima at around 450°C for the Si(100) substrates and at around 650°C for the Si(111) substrates. Segregation decreases above these temperatures. These reverse temperature dependences enable not only good crystallinity of the heteroepitaxial layer, but also abrupt heterointerfaces. The incorporation coefficients for Si(111) are much larger than those for Si(100), which is explained by a model based on surface migration.
