Similarities And Differences

AbstractHigh energy ion mixing occurs when an ion beam of a few hundred keV bombards an interface under the surface. Low energy ion mixing arises when an ion beam of a few keV bombards an interface near the surface during, for example, sputter depth profiling and low energy ion assisted deposition. At low temperatures, the rate of both high and low energy ion mixing can be influenced by thermodynamic parameters, such as the heat of mixing and the cohesive energy of solids. These effects are demonstrated by ion mixing experiments using metallic bilayers consisting of high atomic number elements. A model of diffusion in thermal spikes is used to explain this similarity. Low energy ion mixing can also be strongly affected by surface diffusion and the morphological stability of thin films. These effects are illustrated using results obtained from sputter depth profiling of Ag/Ni bilayers at elevated temperatures. High energy ion mixing at low temperatures can be influenced by the anisotropic momentum distribution in a collision cascade as seen from a set of marker experiments to determine the dominant moving species in high energy ion mixing. These similarities and differences between high and low energy ion mixing illustrate the diversity of ion-solid interactions.

AbstractThe optical degradation of polysilane copolymer has been studied in spin cast thin films and solutions using light source of 325 nm wavelength. The room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of these films show a sharp emission at 368 nm when excited with a source of 325 nm. However, the PL intensity deteriorates with time upon light exposure. Further the causes of this degradation have been examined by characterizing the material for its transmission behaviour and changes occurring in molecular weight as analysed by GPC data.

AbstractSuperconductivity is among the most fascinating and well-studied quantum states of matter. Despite over 100 years of research, a detailed understanding of how features of the normal-state electronic structure determine superconducting properties has remained elusive. For instance, the ability to deterministically enhance the superconducting transition temperature by design, rather than by serendipity, has been a long sought-after goal in condensed matter physics and materials science, but achieving this objective may require new tools, techniques and approaches. Here, we report the transmutation of a normal metal into a superconductor through the application of epitaxial strain. We demonstrate that synthesizing RuO2 thin films on (110)-oriented TiO2 substrates enhances the density of states near the Fermi level, which stabilizes superconductivity under strain, and suggests that a promising strategy to create new transition-metal superconductors is to apply judiciously chosen anisotropic strains that redistribute carriers within the low-energy manifold of d orbitals.

As an extension of work on pendent phenylethynyl-containing imide oligomers, three new diamines containing pendent phenylethynyl groups were prepared and characterized. These diamines were used to prepare pendent and pendent and terminal phenylethynyl imide oligomers via the amide acid route in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone at a calculated number average molecular weight of 5000 g mol−1. The pendent phenylethynyl groups were randomly distributed along the oligomer backbone and provided a means of controlling the distance between reactive sites. The imide oligomers were characterized and thermally cured, and the cured polymers evaluated as thin films and compared with materials of similar composition prepared from 3,5-diamino-4′-phenylethynylbenzophenone. This work was performed as part of a continuing research effort to develop structural resins for potential aeronautical applications.

Lamellar Morphology

ABSTRACTRow-nucleated structures in PPTA and PBZT thin films are compared and their dependence upon quench rate and molecular weight illustrated. It is proposed that the lamellar appearance of the morphology is due to a coherent periodic twisting of fibrillar ribbons. The role of crystallosolvate phases is discussed.
