The effect of nitrite ions on the macrocell corrosion behavior of reinforcing steel embedded in cement mortar was investigated by comparing and analyzing the macrocell corrosion current, macrocell polarization ratios, and slopes of anodic and cathodic steels. Based on the experimental results, the relationship between macrocell potential difference and macrocell current density was analyzed, and the mechanism of macrocell corrosion affected by nitrite ions was proposed. The results indicated that nitrite ions had significant impact on the macrocell polarization ratios of cathode and anode. The presence of nitrite could reduce the macrocell current by decreasing the macrocell potential difference and increasing the macrocell polarization resistance of the anode.

The relationship between the depletion of IP3-releasable intracellular Ca2+ stores and the activation of Ca(2+)-selective membrane current was determined during the stimulation of M1 muscarinic receptors in N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells. External Ca2+ is required for refilling Ca2+ stores and the voltage-independent, receptor-regulated Ca2+ current represents a significant Ca2+ source for refilling. The time course of Ca2+ store depletion was measured with fura-2 fluorescence imaging, and it was compared with the time course of Ca2+ current activation measured with nystatin patch voltage clamp. At the time of maximum current density (0.18 + .03 pA/pF; n = 48), the Ca2+ content of the IP3-releasable Ca2+ pool is reduced to 39 + 3% (n = 10) of its resting value. Calcium stores deplete rapidly, reaching a minimum Ca2+ content in 15-30 s. The activation of Ca2+ current is delayed by 10-15 s after the beginning of Ca2+ release and continues to gradually increase for nearly 60 s, long after Ca2+ release has peaked and subsided. The delay in the appearance of the current is consistent with the idea that the production and accumulation of a second messenger is the rate-limiting step in current activation. The time course of Ca2+ store depletion was also measured after adding thapsigargin to block intracellular Ca2+ ATPase. After 15 min in thapsigargin, IP3-releasable Ca2+ stores are depleted by > 90% and the Ca2+ current is maximal (0.19 + 0.05 pA/pF; n = 6). Intracellular loading with the Ca2+ buffer EGTA/AM (10 microM; 30 min) depletes IP3-releasable Ca2+ stores by between 25 and 50%, and it activates a voltage-independent inward current with properties similar to the current activated by agonist or thapsigargin. The current density after EGTA/AM loading (0.61 + 0.32 pA/pF; n = 4) is three times greater than the current density in response to agonist or thapsigargin. This could result from partial removal of Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation.

Iron foil, of thicknesses between 003 and 0.15 mm has been electroformed at a current density of 30 A/dm2 and an electrolyte temperature of 100°C upon cathodes of surface roughness ranging from 0.04 to 4.4 μm Ra. The surface roughnesses of the face of the foil formed adjacent to the cathode, and of that electrode, are similar. The roughness of the reverse anodic face increases with increasing foil thickness, due to the increase in size of the crystal growth sites. The hardness of the cathodic face of the foil is unaffected by either cathode surface roughness or foil thickness. The hardness of the anodic face increases with both increasing cathode surface roughness and decreasing foil thickness, due to corresponding changes in grain size. A slight net decrease in tensile properties with increasing cathode surface roughness is attributed to the greater amount of stress concentration borne by the rougher foils. Young's modulus for the foil is not affected by cathode surface roughness. The electroforming of foil upon a mandrel surface carrying an isolated V-shaped scratch, 0.14 mm deep and 0.28 mm wide, has also been studied by numerical and experimental methods. The cathodic surface of foil is found to adopt the shape of the scratch whilst its upper side becomes level. The effect upon the geometric configuration of the foil depends upon the relationship between current efficiency and current density for the electrolyte, and on the polarisation (overpotential) characteristics at the mandrel surface.

An algorithm is proposed in this paper for calculating the impulse earthing resistances of vertical earthing electrodes. The proposed algorithm employs the average potential method to derive the formula of the low current earthing resistance. Unlike the previous algorithm, the soil ionization effect under high impulse current is taken into account by introducing a nonlinear characteristic to represent the relationship between the electric field and current density in the ionization zone around the earthing electrode. On the basis of the nonlinear characteristic, the effective radius is evaluated for the equivalent earthing electrode. Then, the impulse earthing resistance can be calculated by substituting the effective radius into the formula of the low current earthing resistance. A comparison is also made between calculated and measured results to confirm the validity of the proposed algorithm.

This research is to study the effect of deteriorated level on the ions migration in inhibiting the concrete damaged by ASR using electrochemical technique. Cylindrical concrete specimens made by reactive sandstone with 10 cm diameter and 5 cm height were prepared at the ages of 7, 14, 28, 90, and 180 days curing in a 38°C and 100% R.H. storage environment. The accelerated lithium migration technique (ALMT) was performed using LiOH H2O and Ca(OH)2 as electrolytes for anode and cathode, respectively. 9 A/m2 current density was used to drive lithium ion into and remove sodium ion out of the concrete. The results show that the rates of ions migration increase with increasing the deteriorated level of specimen. Furthermore, a linear relationship exists between the non-steady state migration coefficient of Li+ and the deteriorated level of specimen.

AbstractAccelerated life testing has long been used to measure the electromigration reliability of integrated circuit (IC) metallization systems. In order to establish or verify electromigration design rules for IC products the measured data is extrapolated over a wide range of operating conditions using phenomenological models. These models assume that the components of the diffusional flux, thermal stress and resulting void morphology are independent of test/operating condition. In this paper, electromigration void morphology and failure criteria are studied over a range of stress conditions and microstructures for non-layered AlCu and AlCuSi metallurgies. The failure criteria, defined as the average change in conductor resistance prior to an open circuit condition, was strongly dependent on test current density. Moreover, the nature of the relationship between failure criteria and current density was governed by the linewidth (W) relative to the median grain size (D50). This dependence can be explained qualitatively in terms of the Blech Effect.

AbstractThe structural and luminescence properties of (001) p-type porous silicon samples (p∼0.1-0.2 Ω•cm) fabricated electrochemically under various conditions were investigated using high resolution double and triple axis diffraction and photoluminescence spectroscopy. We show the sensitivity of the structure of the porous silicon to the current density in the range of 10-50 mA/cm2, HF acid concentration in the range of 15% - 30%, and the evolution of the structure with time. We have found a systematic dependence of the amount of strain in the porous silicon layer (PSL) on the current density. The effect of the HF concentration is such that at 25% and 30% HF, PSLs are formed which are crystalline and strained, but at a lower HF concentration (15%), strained layers are not formed. The perpendicular strain in the layer increases linearly with storage time but the in-plane lattice constant of the porous silicon remains matched to the substrate. Further, we utilized x-ray reciprocal space maps to observe that, with storage time, there is an increase in the diffuse scattering from the PSL due to an increase in the range of tilts in the layer. Room temperature photoluminescence emission was observed for all 15% and 25% HF samples, but not for all 30% HF samples. Higher peak luminescence energy was obtained with lower HF concentration. Finally, we note the relationship between the strain in the PSL and the luminescence properties.

The relationship between critical current density (Jc) and pinning energy (Up) in partial melted superconductors was investigated. The partial melted Sm-Ba-Cu-O superconducting bulks were composed of SmBa2Cu3Ox (Sm-123) superconductor and Sm2BaCuOy (Sm-211) insulator. The pinning force and the pinning energy of the superconductor were measured by a system combining an electronic balance and permanent magnet. The pinning energy and the Jc of the samples were influenced by crystalline orientation. The Jc of the samples depends on the pinning energy. However, in the partial melting process, changes in retention temperature altered the Jc values but had little effect on the value of the pinning energy. The results indicated that Jc was influenced by the dispersion of the insulator acting as a pinning center with in the superconducting bulks.
