ABSTRACTAluminum conductor lines were deposited on Si substrates from liquid phase triisobutylaluminum (TIBA) using a scanned argon ion laser. The vertical growth rate of Al lines initially increased, then decreased with increasing dwell time. The maximum vertical growth rate occurred at a particular dwell time depending upon the laser power. Lower vertical growth rates at longer dwell times are propably caused by the depletion of the reactant at the reaction site. A volcano deposit shape was observed, which became more pronounced as dwell time increased. The conductivity of the as-deposited Al lines decreased with increasing dwell time for our experimental conditions. To study the deposition kinetics and calculate the activation energy, the temperature rise on the Si surface was calculated by solving the nonlinear heat equation using finite difference method.

AbstractUni-modal, not bi-modal, of abnormal grain growth has been observed in (111) oriented and nano-twinned Cu films. Because of the highly anisotropic microstructure, our kinetic analysis and calculation showed that it is the mobility which dominates the uni-modal growth, in which the lateral growth rate can be two orders of magnitude higher than the vertical growth rate. As a consequence, the abnormal grain growth has been converted from bi-modal to uni-modal.

Understanding turfgrass physiological responses to deficit irrigation will help explain potential effects of this practice on turf quality and subsequent stresses. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of deficit irrigation growth and physiology of ‘Falcon II’ tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb) and ‘Meyer’ zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud). Turf was subjected to deficit irrigation levels of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% of actual evapotranspiration (ET) from June to Sept. 2001 and 2002 in Manhattan, Kans. In an earlier study, minimum deficit irrigation levels required to maintain acceptable quality (MDIL) were determined. We compared growth and physiological parameters at these MDIL with turf irrigated at 100% ET. Tall fescue had a lower canopy vertical growth rate (30% lower), canopy net photosynthesis (Pn, 14% lower), and whole-plant respiration (Rw, 11% lower) in 1 of 2 years when irrigated at the MDIL compared with 100% ET; tiller number was not reduced at the MDIL. Water use efficiency (μmol CO2 per mmol H2O) in tall fescue increased by 15% at the MDIL relative to turf receiving 100% ET in 1 of 2 years. In zoysiagrass, the MDIL had no effect on any of the growth or physiological parameters measured. Reductions in canopy vertical growth rate at the MDIL in tall fescue during deficit irrigation would likely reduce mowing requirements. Across all deficit irrigation levels, Pn was more sensitive to deficit irrigation in both grasses than was Rw, which could potentially contribute to declines in canopy vertical growth rate, tiller number, and turf quality. Zoysiagrass exhibited higher water use efficiency than tall fescue, particularly at irrigation levels 60% or more ET.

Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) is regarded as an important natural resource almost throughout the world but relatively little is known about the within-tree variability of the anatomical characteristics of its wood. Discs 2 cm thick were cut at 2.25 m intervals, from the ground level to the top from ten black locust trees, 18–37-years-old, from the University Forest of Taxiarchi, Chalkidiki, Greece. The discs were used for the determination of growth rate and cell dimensions (fiber length and vessel member length and diameter) and their withintree variability (radial, oblique, vertical). Growth rate increased within the first 5–9 growth rings from the pith and then gradually decreased. Oblique variation of growth rate did not exhibit any clear tendency but a decrease at the top. In the case of vertical variation, growth rate decreased gradually with the year of cambium formation. Radial variability curves were found to be typical for the dimensions of cells (fibers, vessel members) especially for the fiber length. A rapid increase in cell dimensions was observed in the first 7–11 growth rings, the juvenile zone. Oblique and vertical variation of cell dimensions did not exhibit any clear tendencies.

AbstractSelective area growth (SAG) of a-plane GaN grown on r-plane sapphire with a stripe orientation along <1-100> was investigated. The key technology of facet-control is optimizing the growth temperature and the reactor pressure. Our experiments reveal that the growth temperature determined facet form: in samples grown at 1000 °C, the structure consists of {11-22}and (000-1); with increasing growth temperature to 1050 °C, the area of {11-22} facet gradually decreases, and two new planes, (0001) and {11-20} facets form; eventually, in samples grown at 1000 oC, the {11-22} facet completely disappears, (0001) and {11-20} facet continue to increase to form a rectangle cross-section. The reactor pressure determines the ratio of the lateral growth rate and the vertical growth rate: with reactor pressure decreasing from 500 torr to 100 torr, the rectangle structure gradually decreases the height and increases the width, and the volume nearly keeps constant.

AbstractWe demonstrate a two-step process wherein the lateral epitaxial growth (LEO) of GaN from <1010>-oriented stripes is initiated at a low V/II1 ratio to produce smooth, vertical {1120} sidewalls, and where the V/III ratio is subsequently raised in order to increase the lateral growth rate. We find that the formation of the {1101} facets is inhibited using this two-step process, and that it is possible to maintain the {1120} sidewalls while achieving a large lateral growth rate. The ratio of lateral to vertical growth rate has been increased by up to factor of 2.6 using this approach relative to identical growth conditions without the initiation at low V/III ratio. The effect of lateral growth rate on the structural properties of the stripes is discussed.
