Structure-property relationships in novel poly(imide-amide)-poly(ethylene glycol) hybrid networks

Broadband dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS), thermally stimulated depolarisation currents (TSDC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and to a lesser extent water uptake measurements, were employed to investigate molecular mobility, morphology and crystallization/melting events of PEG in poly(imide-amide)-polyethylene glycol hybrid networks (PIA-PEG) with short (M_n=1000 g/mol) and long (M_n=3400 g/mol) PEG crosslinks. The results obtained suggest long range connectivity of the PEG component in the hybrids with short PEG crosslinks at PEG content higher than 40 wt% and in these with long PEG crosslinks at PEG content higher than 20 wt%. Crystallization of the PEG component is observed by DSC in the hybrids with the longer crosslinks at sufficiently high content of PEG, only. The glass transition temperature, T_g, of PEG component in the hybrids with the shorter PEG crosslinks is shifted to higher temperatures compared to that of the hybrids with longer PEG crosslinks, while suppression of the glass transition of the PEG component is observed in the hybrids with the shorter PEG crosslinks at PEG content lower than 40 wt%. The results are discussed in terms of constraints to segmental motion of the PEG crosslinks, imposed by fixed PEG chain ends on the rigid PI chains.     

Proton irradiation damage mechanism of the InAlAs／InGaAs／InAlAs quantum well

InP-based high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) have shown a great potential for national defense and satellite radar in space radiation environment applications. This paper studies the proton radiation damage mechanism of its critical structure InAlAs／InGaAs／InAlAs quantum well. The proton projection range and vacancy defect information are obtained at different incident proton energies of 50keV, 75keV and 200keV by SRIM software. With the increase of proton energy, the proton injection depth is increasing and eventually protons pass through the material layers. Besides, the proton radiation induced vacancy defects numbers around hetero-junction increase first and decrease subsequently, and As vacancies are the main proton radiation induced defects. In addition, non-ionizing energy loss (NIEL) of In_0.52Al_0.48As and In_0.53Ga_0.47As material is computed under different incident proton energies by the analytical model. The change trend of NIEL is identical to the induced vacancy numbers, namely, NIEL first increases and then decreases as the incident proton energy increases. Finally the degrading effect of the radiation-induced As defect is detected in the two-dimensional electron gas in the quantum well, which confirms that the major proton radiation damage mechanism of the quantum well is the induced vacancy defects by NIEL.

Exploring Particle Density Effects on Partial Mobility of Steelhead Spawning Gravels

Yellowbank Creek is a small stream in coastal central California being assessed for salmonid habitat limiting factors and restoration potential. Yellowbank flows through low‐density marine mudstone bedrock, which is the gravel source for the stream. To assess the potential effects of the low‐density substrate on spawning gravels, a tracer stone study comparing the incipient motion of low‐density mudstone particles and typical density granitic particles was used to populate a logistic regression particle entrainment model. A model comparison approach was used to test the strength of the model. Results demonstrate partial mobility of both mudstone and granitic particles under boundary shear conditions ranging from 6.9 to 42.2 N m^‐2. The modelling results quantify the strong negative correlation between particle entrainment and particle density. Mudstone gravel was three times more likely to be entrained than granitic gravel, within the context of the experimental conditions. The effect of density difference on partial mobility was greater in smaller grain size fractions. This work has implications for salmonid spawning success in atypical geologic settings and may assist in prioritization of restoration efforts. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Thin‐film transistor mobility limits considerations

The mobility limiting scattering mechanisms for amorphous semiconductors and polar polycrystalline semiconductors are studied in the context of developing new high‐performance thin‐film transistor (TFT) channel layer materials for large‐area electronics. A physics‐based model for carrier transport in an amorphous semiconductor is developed to estimate the mobility limits of amorphous semiconductor TFTs. The model involves band tail state trapping of a diffusive mobility. Simulation reveals a strong dependence on the band tail density of states. This consideration makes it difficult to realize a high‐performance p‐type oxide TFT. A polar crystalline semiconductor may offer a higher mobility but is fundamentally limited by polar optical phonon scattering. Any crystalline TFT channel layer for practical large‐area applications will not be a single crystal but polycrystalline, and therefore, grain size and grain boundary‐dependent scattering will further degrade the transport properties.

Geomorphic comparison of two Atlantic coastal rivers: Toward an understanding of physical controls on Atlantic salmon habitat

River channel substrate size and mobility are important to Atlantic salmon spawning and rearing success. We compare morphology and bed sediment between two North American Atlantic coastal streams (Narraguagus River, Maine, USA and Jacquet River, New Brunswick, Canada). The watersheds have similar drainage areas and mean annual precipitation, but differing relief structure, channel longitudinal profiles and numbers of returning salmon. The lower‐relief Narraguagus River is segmented into steeper (gradient >0.002) and flatter reaches (gradient <0.0005). Flat reaches, including mainstem lakes, act as sediment sinks, preventing the continuity of downstream sediment transport. Based on field measurements, the Narraguagus River has a larger high‐flow width to depth ratio than the Jacquet River, but this difference is principally the result of outliers from low‐gradient channel reaches. Measurements of substrate grain size reveal finer river‐bed sediments on the Narraguagus River, however, Shields parameter calculations indicate that bed sediment should be mobile during high flows in both streams. We use the Shields equation to predict grain size based on channel slope, width and drainage area measured from digital elevation models (DEM) and aerial photographs. Predictions of median grain size agree with field measurements within a factor of 2 for 62–70% of the survey stations. We suggest ways that model misfits may provide opportunities to prioritize reach‐based restoration efforts. Based on expected grain size, we estimate 62% spawning and 68% rearing habitat along the length of the Narraguagus River, and 28 and 95% respectively on the Jacquet. Overall, glacial history and relief structure appear to be the first‐order controls on substrate grain size and habitat quality in these two rivers. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
