Nucleation of branches in elastomeric polypropylene

The formation of a crosshatched morphology during crystallization of an isotactic polypropylene with low crystallinity is studied in detail. Here, a lamella seems to grow through another nearly perpendicular lamella that was crystallized before. The crystallization was observed with in situ scanning force microscopy with a temporal resolution of 3 min per image. After crystallization the volume structure was imaged by nanotomography. A detailed scheme for the nucleation of branches is proposed.     

Inverted Solution Processable OLEDs Using a Metal Oxide as an Electron Injection Contact.

A new type of bottom‐emission electroluminescent device is described in which a metal oxide is used as the electron‐injecting contact. The preparation of such a device is simple. It consists of the deposition of a thin layer of a metal oxide on top of an indium tin oxide covered glass substrate, followed by the solution processing of the light‐emitting layer and subsequently the deposition of a high‐workfunction (air‐stable) metal anode. This architecture allows for a low‐cost electroluminescent device because no rigorous encapsulation is required. Electroluminescence with a high brightness reaching 5700 cd m^–2 is observed at voltages as low as 8 V, demonstrating the potential of this new approach to organic light‐emitting diode (OLED) devices. Unfortunately the device efficiency is rather low because of the high current density flowing through the device. We show that the device only operates after the insertion of an additional hole‐injection layer in between the light‐emitting polymer (LEP) and the metal anode. A simple model that explains the experimental results and provides avenues for further optimization of these devices is described. It is based on the idea that the barrier for electron injection is lowered by the formation of a space–charge field over the metal‐oxide–LEP interface due to the build up of holes in the LEP layer close to this interface.     

Sintering studies of nano-crystalline zinc oxide

Sintering and grain growth of nano-crystalline undoped ZnO has been studied in detail over a wide range of temperature and holding time. Below 800 °C, sintering of over 70% theoretical density is not observed, irrespective of particle size. At 900 °C for 6 h, the nano-crystalline sample sinters to 99% of theoretical density whereas the density for as received sample is 93% of theoretical density. However, at 1300 °C or higher, the densification is found to be much faster and after a few hours becomes independent of holding time. Grain growth studies reveal a similar feature of attaining saturation over holding time. The average saturated grain size is found to be ∼1.5 and ∼2.2 μm at 800 and 900 °C, respectively, while at 1300 °C or higher, it is in between 12 and 13 μm.     

Growth of β-FeSi2 layers deposited from a molten salt

β-FeSi₂ layers have been successfully grown using a molten salt method for the first time. It was found that single phase and homogeneous β-FeSi₂ layers with a columnar domain structure can be grown on FeSi substrates. The layer thickness was demonstrated to be controllable by the growth temperature and time, and was diffusion controlled. It was shown that the layers were void- and crack-free compared to similar layers grown on Fe substrates: this difference is explained in terms of Fe diffusion. This vacuum-free simple growth technique is useful for the fabrication of large area semiconductor devices at low cost.

电子束、离子束与蓝宝石相互作用的研究

研究了电子束、离子束作用于Al2O3表面时成分的变化，表明无论电子束或离子束都能使Al2O3发生分解，产生导电的元素Al。实验在PHI610·SAM上进行，电子束轰击下（3keV，O．5μA，入射角60°）10s就有元素Al分解出来，2min以后就达到饱和，分解析出量随时间成a（1－e－bt）的关系。离子束轰击下同样发生元素Al的分解，但当Ei＞3keV时，由于剥离速率加大，溅射5min时表面Al峰反而比1min时要弱。这时表面Al含量处于分解析出与溅射剥离的动态平衡中。实验还发现了Al2O3的解析与表面成分有关（如碳的含量）。最后讨论电子束与离子束的解析机理。

The effect of particle distribution on damage formation in particulate reinforced metal matrix composites deformed in compression

Image analysis results are reported on the generation of damage in particulate reinforced metal matrix composites during compressive deformation. The technique allows the automated collection of data on the incidence of particle fracture and void formation in the matrix as a function of important microstructural parameters such as local particle volume fraction and particle size. There is a strong relationship between damage and the local volume fraction of the reinforcement proving that damage formation is accentuated in regions of particle clustering. With the SiC reinforced materials examined, there was observed to be a change in dominance of damage mechanism from particle fracture at low local volume fractions to void formation in the matrix within strongly clustered regions. The results are compared with finite element (FE) modelling of the compressive deformation of clustered particles using a simple cluster of equi-spaced particles. The FE results suggest that plastic flow is generally inhibited in clustered regions. In certain highly clustered configurations shielding is such that flow does not occur in the heart of the cluster even at high levels of average plastic strain. The modelling suggests that the change in dominance of damage mechanism is related to the dramatic increase in tensile hydrostatic stresses in the matrix with higher levels of particle clustering.
