瞬态闭锁试验在0.13 μm大规模集成电路中引起的潜在损伤

瞬态剂量率辐射试验会引起集成电路发生损伤或失效，其原因至少有两种：闭锁大电流引起的电路内部金属互连熔融；累积电离总剂量引起的氧化层电荷造成阈值电压偏移。本文以一种0.13 μm体硅CMOS处理器为对象，研究了瞬态剂量率和稳态电离总剂量辐射效应规律。结果表明：瞬态剂量率闭锁效应对处理器造成了显著的潜在损伤，导致其总剂量失效阈值从1 030 Gy(Si)降低至600 Gy(Si)。研究结论对于大规模集成电路的可靠性评估和指导辐射加固设计有重要参考意义。     

Ta含量对NiCoCrAlY涂层性能的影响

采用真空雾化的方法制备了Ta含量为0、2%及5%的NiCoCrAlYTa合金粉末,利用超音速火焰喷涂制备了三种涂层,研究了Ta对合金粉末微观组织及物相的影响,绘制了1050℃条件下涂层的高温氧化动力学曲线,研究了500h氧化试验后涂层组织和β相的分布,初步探讨了Ta元素对改善涂层抗氧化性能的作用机理。研究结果表明:Ta通过提高MCrAlY体系抗氧化元素的溶质浓度,促进了氧化膜的形成,随着Ta含量的增加,涂层的内氧化程度降低,涂层抗氧化性能提高。但含Ta涂层在长时间氧化条件下会生成CrTaO_4、AlTaO_4等尖晶石类氧化物,且Ta的氧化物PBR值较大,对涂层的抗热震性能不利。

A dinuclear iron complex as a precatalyst for water oxidation under alkaline conditions

Water oxidation is a key reaction for water splitting. The decomposition of Fe-based-molecular structures toward Fe-based oxides is a promising method for oxygen-evolution reaction (OER) through water oxidation. The decomposition of Fe-based-molecular structures method results in a slow decomposition of precatalysts and forms Fe oxide-based catalysts. In this study, the Fe species formed through the decomposition of a dinuclear Fe(III) complex under OER is investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and the electrochemical method. In addition, using Ni(OH)₂, a new approach is reported for detecting trace Fe species on the electrode surface. The resulting Fe oxide-based catalyst shows a catalytic current with an onset of 621 mV overpotential and the Tafel slope of 113.7 mV/decade at pH 11 in a buffer phosphate.

Non-linear dissolution mechanisms of sodium calcium phosphate glasses as a function of pH in various aqueous media

Phosphate glasses for bioresorbable implants display dissolution rates that vary significantly with composition, however currently their mechanisms of dissolution are not well understood. Based on this systematic study we present new insights into these mechanisms. Two-stage dissolution was observed, with time dependence initially parabolic and later linear, and a two-stage model was developed to describe this behaviour. Dissolution was accelerated by lower Ca concentration in the glass, and lower pH in the dissolution medium. A new dissolution mechanism is proposed, involving an initial stage where diffusion-controlled formation of a conversion layer occurs. Once the conversion layer is stabilised, layer dissolution reactions become rate-limiting. Under this mechanism the transition time is sensitive to the nature of the conversion layer and solution conditions. These results reveal the dependence of P₂O₅–CaO–Na₂O glass dissolution on solution pH, and provide new insight into the dissolution mechanisms, particularly regarding the transition between the two dissolution stages.     

Effects of upholstery materials on the burning behavior of real‐scale residential upholstered furniture mock‐ups

Fire spread and growth on real‐scale four cushion mock‐ups of residential upholstered furniture (RUF) were investigated with the goal of identifying whether changes in five classes of materials (barrier, flexible polyurethane foam, polyester fiber wrap, upholstery fabric, and sewing thread), referred to as factors, resulted in statistically significant changes in burning behavior. A fractional factorial experimental design plus practical considerations yielded a test matrix with 20 material combinations. Experiments were repeated a minimum of two times. Measurements included fire spread rates derived from video recordings and heat release rates (HRRs). A total of 13 experimental parameters (3 based on the videos and 10 on the HRR results), referred to as responses, characterized the measurements. Statistical analyses based on Main Effects Plots (main effects) and Block Plots (main effects and factor interactions) were used. The results showed that three of the factors resulted in statistically significant effects on varying numbers of the 13 responses. The Barrier and Fabric factors had the strongest main effects with roughly comparable magnitudes. Foam was statistically significant for fewer of the responses and its overall strength was weaker than for Barrier and Fabric. No statistically significant main effects were identified for Wrap or Thread. Multiple two‐term interactions between factors were identified as being statistically significant. The Barrier*Fabric interaction resulted in the highest number of and strongest statistically significant effects. The existence of two‐term interactions means that it will be necessary to consider their effects in approaches designed to predict the burning behavior of RUF.     

Excision of Oxidatively Generated Guanine Lesions by Competitive DNA Repair Pathways

The base and nucleotide excision repair pathways (BER and NER, respectively) are two major mechanisms that remove DNA lesions formed by the reactions of genotoxic intermediates with cellular DNA. It is generally believed that small non-bulky oxidatively generated DNA base modifications are removed by BER pathways, whereas DNA helix-distorting bulky lesions derived from the attack of chemical carcinogens or UV irradiation are repaired by the NER machinery. However, existing and growing experimental evidence indicates that oxidatively generated DNA lesions can be repaired by competitive BER and NER pathways in human cell extracts and intact human cells. Here, we focus on the interplay and competition of BER and NER pathways in excising oxidatively generated guanine lesions site-specifically positioned in plasmid DNA templates constructed by a gapped-vector technology. These experiments demonstrate a significant enhancement of the NER yields in covalently closed circular DNA plasmids (relative to the same, but linearized form of the same plasmid) harboring certain oxidatively generated guanine lesions. The interplay between the BER and NER pathways that remove oxidatively generated guanine lesions are reviewed and discussed in terms of competitive binding of the BER proteins and the DNA damage-sensing NER factor XPC-RAD23B to these lesions.
