A novel numerical approach to heterojunction bipolar transistors circuit simulation

In this paper we present a novel computational method for calculating the heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) physical characteristics in the time domain. To calculate the HBT high frequency properties, the Gummel-Poon equivalent circuit model is applied to replace the HBT in the circuit and a set of governing ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is formulated. We directly decouple the system ODEs and solve each decoupled ODE with the monotone iterative method in the time domain. This solution methodology proposed here has been applied to semiconductor device simulation by us earlier, and we find this method for the HBT simulation has good accuracy and converges globally. Compared with the HSPICE circuit simulator results, our results present the accuracy, efficiency, and robustness of the method.     

Optical and thermal processes involved in ultrafast laser pulse interaction with a field emitter

In the interaction between ultrafast laser pulses and a field emitter both optical and thermal processes are involved. In this paper, these physical process, and their timescales, are experimentally explored. Simple models are proposed to explain the observed experimental behaviour, and the influence of various parameters are investigated. In the case of optical processes, it is shown that the optical field is greatly enhanced at the tip apex, and that field evaporation could be induced by an optical non-linear effect called optical rectification. In the case of thermal processes, it is shown that the temperature rise because of light absorption can be determined and that the cooling process of the tip surface can be studied by pump probe measurements.     

Origin of rate bistability in Mn–O/Al2O3 catalysts for carbon monoxide oxidation: role of the Jahn–Teller effect

Peculiarities in catalytic activity in carbon monoxide oxidation as well as some structure, electronic and magnetic properties of the three oxide catalysts, Mn³⁺–O/Al₂O₃ (1), Mn³⁺–O–Fe/Al₂O₃ (Mn-substituted spinel, 2) and q/xxlarge947.gif" alt="gamma" align="MIDDLE" BORDER="0">-Fe₂O₃/Al₂O₃ (3), were studied by kinetic measurements and by Mössbauer spectroscopy. The catalysts 1 and 2 showed a kinetic bistability with a sharp transition towards more reactive state at q/xxlarge8764.gif" alt="sim" align="MIDDLE" BORDER="0">200q/xxlarge8201.gif" alt="thinsp" align="MIDDLE" BORDER="0">°C (ignition point). In contrast, for catalyst 3, at 200–250q/xxlarge8201.gif" alt="thinsp" align="MIDDLE" BORDER="0">°C, the behavior of reaction rate against temperature did not display noticeable hysteresis. On cooling the catalysts 1 and 2, extinction was observed at about 170 and 120q/xxlarge8201.gif" alt="thinsp" align="MIDDLE" BORDER="0">°C, respectively, i.e., at 30–80q/xxlarge8201.gif" alt="thinsp" align="MIDDLE" BORDER="0">°C lower than the corresponding ignition points. Proximity of activation energy for the high and low activity (q/xxlarge8764.gif" alt="sim" align="MIDDLE" BORDER="0">15–19 kJ/mol) for both Mn-containing catalysts suggests an increase in the number of active sites at high temperature with no changes in the reaction mechanism. The considerable difference between Mn-containing catalysts 1, 2 and Fe-containing catalyst 3 may be caused by Jahn–Teller (JT) type distortions of the oxygen polyhedron around Mn³⁺. A significant spontaneous axial bond stretching within the local polyhedron seems to diminish Mn–O binding energy, facilitate the participation of surface oxygen species, O_S, in the oxidation of CO by a redox mechanism and promote oxygen vacancies at the surface that would cause considerable effect on the activity. An increase in the width of the counterclockwise hysteresis loop for the catalyst 2 compared to the catalyst 1 indicates that clusters of mixed spinel provide more active sites and more labile O_S species than clusters of the binary Mn oxide.     

Differential and scanning-mode external PIXE for the analysis of the painting “Ritratto Trivulzio” by Antonello da Messina

Extensive PIXE investigations have been performed at the LABEC accelerator laboratory in Florence on the painting “Ritratto Trivulzio” by Antonello da Messina, one of the great Italian masters of XV Century and a pioneer in modern oil painting.It is well known that a complete and unambiguous characterisation of materials in paintings is often difficult, owing to their complex structure. For the “Ritratto Trivulzio”, the combination of advanced variants of PIXE, such as differential and scanning-mode analysis, provided a relevant contribution to the characterisation of paint layers, in terms of composition and structure, in a totally non-invasive and non-destructive way.Single-spot mode PIXE with external proton beams of about half millimetre diameter was first used for a general characterisation of different areas of the painting. Differential PIXE performed in many spots led to reconstruct the sequence of paints employed by the artist and to estimate in some cases the local paint layer thickness.A second run carried out with the external scanning microbeam facility, using a 3 MeV proton beam of about 80 μm size, was then crucial to clarify some issues raised by the first analysis. In particular, elemental maps from selected areas helped to understand the way some colour shades had been obtained on the red mantle of the portrayed gentleman, using different pigments irregularly distributed on the surface.

Determination of the long-term intergranular corrosion rate of stainless steel in concentrated nitric acid

Stainless steels with low carbon content and free from any precipitation undergo intergranular attack in hot nitric acid. The corrosion rate measured by weight loss requires prolonged immersion testing to reach the apparent steady state corrosion, which coincides with the onset of grain dropping. A more appropriate method for predicting the long-term penetration rate is described in this study. A close observation and a statistical analysis of the attack grooves were firstly undertaken using immersion testing. The major findings are an outstanding morphology of the grooves with flat planes and preserved angle even after the onset of grain dropping, as well as a constant rate of the penetration into the surface. The formation of the grooves could then be represented by a geometrical model put forward by Beaunier and co-workers. Consequently, the method proposed for predicting the penetration rate consists in measuring the depth and the angle of the grooves obtained in short time immersion testing. Multiplying the penetration rate calculated from the previous data by the ratio between the penetration depth and the length of the grain boundary path does give an accurate long-term penetration rate. The method has been shown to apply successfully to AISI 304L stainless steel in several nitric solutions.     

Impact and energy deposition of slow, highly charged ions on a solid surface

A plasma region in nanometer scale may be created by a highly charged ion impact on solid surface. The charge imbalance leads to enormous electric fields and may further induce Coulomb explosion due to electrostatic repulsion in the region. Thus, the highly charged ion is thus expected to be a powerful tool to induce surface modification in the nanometer scale. The Coulomb explosion model is applied in order to interpret the interaction mechanism and to understand the impact and energy deposition of highly charged ions on a solid surface, and to obtain the energy deposited by the ion. The energy deposition ratio is dependent on the material and charge. A high temperature and high pressure environment will be formed by the deposited energy, causing the atoms to swell up and a hillock nano-defect to be formed on surface. The height of hillock is estimated from the Coulomb explosion.
