Thermal stability of interfaces between metals and InP-based materials

The thermal stability of interfaces between metals (Ni, Pt, Ti, Mo) and III-V compound semiconductors has been investigated by the application of Rutherford backscattering spectrometry. Metal diffusion and interfacial lattice disorder of the semiconductors were analyzed for various metal/semiconductor samples annealed at temperatures up to 500°C. The interfaces of Ni/GaAs and Ti/GaAs were found to be more stable than those of Ni/In-based semiconductors and Ti/ In-based semiconductors, respectively. Faster diffusion of Pt atoms was ob-served in In-and As-containing materials than in P-containing materials. Mo/ semiconductor interfaces were the most stable.     

Ion implantation doping of OMCVD grown GaN

Doping by ion implantation using Si, O, Mg, and Ca has been studied in single crystal semi-insulating and n-type GaN grown on a-sapphire substrates. The n-and p-type dopants used in this study are Si and O; Mg and Ca, respectively. Room temperature activation of Si and O donors has been achieved after 1150°C annealing for 120 s. The activation of Mg and Ca acceptors is too low to measure at both room temperature and 300°C. Using higher doses to achieve a measurable p-type conduction increases the amount of damage created by the implantation. Rutherford back scattering measurements on this material indicate that the damage is still present even after the maximum possible heat treatment. Secondary ion mass spectrometry measurements have indicated a redistribution in the measured profiles of Mg due to annealing.     

FAST MEASUREMENT OF ASH CONTENT IN COAL WASHING PLANT

The coal filter cake is a product of fine coal after floatation which has an ash content of 7-13%, water content of 30±2%, and a particle size of less than 1 mm. The ash content was measured by the intensity of the single backscattered gamma-ray, and its accuracy is mainly dependent on the energy of the gamma-ray. The 238Pu low energy photon source is selected in this work. The energy of its gamma-ray is 15 keV, which can result not only in the best sensitivity, but also in the lowest contribution to the environment radiation. The root mean square deviation of the ash measurement is±0.33% (±1σ).

The influence of an intermediate MoO3 layer on the solid state reaction of cobalt oxide withγ-Al2O3

In view of the importance for Co_xO_y,-MoO₃/-Al₂O₃ hydrodesulphurization (HDS) catalysts, the reactivity of cobalt oxide layers towards cobalt aluminate formation was investigated on both MoO₃-covered and bare -Al₂O₃ substrates. Co₃O₄/MoO₃/-Al₂O₃ and Co₃O₄/-Al₂O₃ systems were prepared by vapour-deposition of MoO₃ (12 × 10¹⁵ Mo atoms/cm²) and Co (400 × 10¹⁵ Co atoms/cm²) layers onto a -Al₂O₃ substrate, followed by oxidation of the Co layer to Co₃O₄. After annealing at 800°C for 40 h, the interfacial reaction to cobalt aluminate was assessed using Rutherford backscattering spectrometry. The presence of molybdenum oxide appeared to enhance cobalt aluminate formation. The Mo atoms, which spread out over the entire cobalt-containing layer, presumably caused a high defect density, which explains the observed higher reaction rate. The amount of MoO₃ was much too low to stabilize all cobalt atoms by cobalt molybdate formation.

Influences of temperature and Sn-addition on microstructural evolution of Ag during FSW

ABSTRACT

The microstructural evolutions of pure Ag and Ag-0.75 wt-%Sn during rapid cooling friction stir welding (FSW) were examined. At the lower welding temperature of FSW conditions, the annealing twinning was highly suppressed and the microstructural evolution was dominated by the discontinuous dynamic recrystallisation (DDRX) via the high angle boundary (HAB) bulging. The fully recrystallised microstructure was remarkably finer than that formed through the frequent annealing twinning at the higher welding temperature. Moreover, the Sn-addition caused the HAB bulging due to the inhibition of dynamic recovery and decreased mobility of grain boundaries. With decreasing the ratio of the peak temperature to the recrystallisation temperature, the dominant grain refinement mechanism is implied to change from the annealing twinning to the DDRX.     

The effect of steam treatment on MeO/Al2O3 model catalysts (Me = Ni,Co, Cu,Fe)

To study the influence of steam on the solid state reaction between MeO (Me = Ni, Co, Cu or Fe) and Al₂O3, MeO/-Al₂O₃ and MeO/-Al₂O₃ model catalysts were kept in either N₂/20% O₂ or N₂/O₂/30% H₂O at 500–1000°C. The samples were subsequently analyzed with RBS and FTIR. Surprisingly, nickel, cobalt and copper volatilized when MeO/-Al₂O₃ or MeAl₂U₄/-Al₂O₃ samples were annealed in the presence of 0.3 atm steam at 1000°C. Especially copper was found to volatilize very rapidly in the presence of steam, even at a temperature as low as 800°C. FTIR spectra of steam-treated NiO/-Al₂O₃ samples showed the incorporation of hydroxyl groups in the nickel oxide layer. This observation and an excellent agreement with thermochemical calculations support our conclusion that the volatile species are metal hydroxides. The solid state reaction of MeO with-Al₂O₃ was found to proceed at a much higher rate in the presence of 0.3 atm steam at 500–800°C, presumably as a result of an enhanced surface mobility of Me and Al ions along the grain boundaries and the surfaces of the internal pores of the-Al₂O₃ support, when steam is present.
