Variation in animal coloration is often viewed as the result of chemically distinct pigments conferring different hues. The role of molecular environment on hue tends to be overlooked as analyses are mostly performed on free pigments extracted from the integument. Here we analysed psittacofulvin pigments within parrot feathers to explore whether the in situ organization of pigments may have an effect on hue. Resonance Raman spectra from a red region of a yellow-naped amazon Amazona auropalliata tail feather show frequency dispersion, a phenomenon that is related to the presence of a range of molecular conformations (and multiple chromophores) in the pigment, whereas spectra from a yellow region on the same feather do not show the same evidence for multiple chromophores. Our findings are consistent with non-isomeric psittacofulvin pigments behaving as a single chromophore in yellow feather barbs, which implies that psittacofulvins are dispersed into a structurally disordered mixture in yellow feathers compared with red feathers. Frequency dispersion in red barbs may instead indicate that pigments are structurally organized through molecule–molecule interactions. Major differences in the hues of parrot feathers are thus associated with differences in the organization of pigments within feathers.

AbstractEpitaxial (100) iridium films have been grown on (100) SrTiO3 (STO) substrates by electron beam evaporation. The epitaxial relationship between the iridium film and STO substrate was determined to be Ir(001)[100]//STO(001)[100]. A systematic study of the role of STO substrate surface preparation, Ir thickness, and substrate temperature on Ir film crystallinity and morpholo- gy has been performed. The best Ir films typically have small Ir(200) XRD linewidths < 0.3 °, surface roughness of 0.2 nm, and low ion channeling yields, χmin≤ 4%, when deposited at 800 °C. Films generally become smoother with better crystallinity when the film thickness approaches 300 nm. A growth mode with initial island formation and subsequent layer-by-layer appears to take place at higher substrate temperatures, whereas at lower temperatures the film grows in a 3D mode.

AbstractFrom the early work on high dose oxygen implantation for buried SiO2 formation, it is apparent that the temperature of the Si substrate during the implant has a strong influence on the quality of both the SiO2 layer and the overlying Si. This, in turn, can be related to the damage from the oxygen implant. For substrate temperatures < ∼ 300°C, amorphous Si is created during the implant and leads to the formation of twins or polycrystalline Si during the subsequent high temperature (>1300°C) anneal. At higher substrate temperatures (<∼400°C), dynamic annealing eliminates the amorphous Si, but the implanted oxygen appears to segregate during the implant leading to oxygen-rich amorphous regions imbedded in regions of crystalline material. As the amorphous regions start to coalesce and form SiO2 during the high temperature anneal, they trap crystalline Si which cannot escape by diffusion. This process can be circumvented by using a randomizing Si implant to change the damage structure from the oxygen implant before annealing. We have seen these effects clearly in sub-stoichiometric implants, and believe they are also operative during stoichiometric implants.

We present the results of our study about the deposition rate of focused electron beam induced processing (FEBIP) as a function of the substrate temperature with the substrate being an electron-transparent amorphous carbon membrane. When W(CO)6 is used as a precursor it is observed that the growth rate is lower at higher substrate temperatures. From Arrhenius plots we calculated the activation energy for desorption, E des, of W(CO)6. We found an average value for E des of 20.3 kJ or 0.21 eV, which is 2.5–3.0 times lower than literature values. This difference between estimates for E des from FEBIP experiments compared to literature values is consistent with earlier findings by other authors. The discrepancy is attributed to electron-stimulated desorption, which is known to occur during electron irradiation. The data suggest that, of the W(CO)6 molecules that are affected by the electron irradiation, the majority desorbs from the surface rather than dissociates to contribute to the deposit. It is important to take this into account during FEBIP experiments, for instance when determining fundamental process parameters such as the activation energy for desorption.

ABSTRACTA new deposition technique for PbTiO3 films utilizing chemical beams of metalorganic sources in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber is demonstrated. Ozone is introduced to provide a source of active oxygen. The role of active oxygen in controlling the surface chemical reactions is discussed. Fine grained, single phase PbTiO3 films have been deposited on MgO (100) and SiO2/Si substrates at substrate temperatures as low as 350°C. Films were characterized by XRD, SEM, and TEM. The results suggest that the chemical beam deposition technique provides another method for the fabrication and integration of ferroelectric thin films with silicon (or GaAs) devices.
