Smooth Morphology (smooth + morphology)
Selected AbstractsDeposition of crystalline copper films from tetranuclear copper (II) complexes without application of reducing atmosphereAPPLIED ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 10 2010Muhammad Shahid Abstract Crystalline copper films were deposited by aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) in the absence of hydrogen from two newly synthesized complexes [Cu(deae)(TFA)]4·1.25THF (1) and [Cu4(OAc)6(bdmap)2(H2O)2]·4H2O (2) [deae = N, N -diethylaminoethanolate, TFA = trifloroacetate, OAc = acetate and bdmap = 1,3-bis(dimethylamino)-2-propanolato]. These precursors were prepared in high yield using mixed ligands and crystallized in tetragonal and triclinic crystal systems with space groups 141/a and P , 1. Complexes 1 and 2 thermally decomposed at 290 and 250 °C, respectively, to yield copper films which were characterized by SEM/EDX for their morphology and composition and PXRD for their crystallinity and phase. These films have smooth morphologies with particle sizes within the range of 0.3,0.6 µm and may find applications in fabrication of ultralarge-scale integrated circuits.

[source] Structures and properties of ternary blends of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate)/bisphenol-A polycarbonate/(E/nBA/GMA)JOURNAL OF APPLIED POLYMER SCIENCE, Issue 1 2008Yong Peng Abstract Recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate)/bisphenol-A polycarbonate/PTW (ethylene, butylacrylate (BA), and glycidylmethacrylate (E/nBA/GMA) terpolymer) were blended in different sequence through low temperature solid state extrusion (LTSSE) was studied. R-PET/PC blends were toughened by PTW, resulting in the improvement of impact strengths. In tensile test, the (PC/PTW)/r-PET blends made by mixing r-PET with the preblend of PC/PTW had noticeable strengthening effect on its tensile properties, which was not impaired by the rubber content due to its strain-hardening occurred following its necking at the constant load. Morphological study by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was in conformity with the mechanical result. For the (PC/PTW)/r-PET blends, the PC particles were well embedded in the PET matrix and the smooth morphology exhibited. The DSC thermographs for heating and cooling run indicated that the crystallinity of PET rich phase was affected by different blending sequence. In the FTIR test, the different absorption intensity of PC aromatic carbonate carbonyl band was clearly illustrated. The results indicated different blending sequence led to different blending effect. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008 [source] Ionized gas in E/S0 galaxies with dust lanesMONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY, Issue 4 2010Ido Finkelman ABSTRACT We report the results of multicolour observations of 30 E/S0 galaxies with dust lanes. For each galaxy we obtained broad-band images and narrow-band images using interference filters isolating the H,+[N ii] emission lines to derive the amount and morphology of dust and ionized gas. To improve the wavelength coverage we retrieved data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and Two Micron All Sky Survey and combined these with our data. Ionized gas is detected in 25 galaxies and shows in most cases a smooth morphology, although knots and filamentary structure are also observed in some objects. The extended gas distribution closely follows the dust structure, with a clear correlation between the mass of both components. An extinction law by the extragalactic dust in the dark lanes is derived and is used to estimate the dust content of the galaxies. The derived extinction law is used to correct the measured colours for intrinsic dust extinction and the data are fitted with a stellar population synthesis model. We find that the H, emission and colours of most objects are consistent with the presence of an ,old' stellar population (,10 Gyr) and a small fraction of a ,young' population (, 10,100 Myr). To check this we closely examine NGC 5363, for which archival Spitzer/Infrared Array Camera and Galaxy Evolution Explorer data are available, as a representative dust-lane E/S0 galaxy of the sample. [source] Formation of ohmic contacts to ultra-thin channel AlN/GaN HEMTsPHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI (C) - CURRENT TOPICS IN SOLID STATE PHYSICS, Issue 6 2008Tom Zimmermann Abstract AlN/GaN-based high electron mobility transistors with ultra-thin AlN barriers of 2.3 - 5 nm are attractive candidates for very high speed applications owing to the aggressive scalability such structures afford. We report the first study on formation of ohmic contacts to these high quality ultra-thin channel heterostructures (ns > 1x1013 cm,2 and , > 900 cm2/Vs) with systematically varying barrier thicknesses. While the conventional ohmic contacts to AlGaN/GaN structures generally require high temperature annealing, these ohmic contacts were found to behave ohmic or near ohmic as-deposited. Annealing (400-860 0C) improves the contact resistance to a range of 0.8 - 2 ohm-mm but the annealing conditions strongly depend on the AlN thickness as well as the heterostructure quality (,). All alloyed contacts show smooth morphology, making them suitable for e-beam lithographically defined gate patterning. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The electrodeposition, heat treatment, structure, surface morphology and corrosion resistance in w=0.03 NaCl solution, of Ni,W alloys were studied by means of DSC, XRD, SEM and electrochemical techniques. The results showed that the obtained Ni,W alloy electrodeposit with W weight content (ww=0.471) was presented in more typical nanocrystalline. After heat treatment at 400 C for 1 h, the phase structure of the deposits was not obviously changed whereas the agglomerate for the reunion of tiny grains on deposit surface caused the granule in a more smooth morphology, the microhardness was slightly increased and the corrosion resistance was enhanced.
