ABSTRACTThe temperature dependent competition between solid phase epitaxy and random crystallization in ion-implanted (As+, B+, F+, and BF2+) silicon films is investigated. Measurements of time-resolved reflectivity during cw laser heating show that in the As+, F+, and BF2+-implanted layers (conc 4×1020cm-3) epitaxial growth is disrupted at temperatures 1000°C. This effect is not observed in intrinsic films or in the B+-implanted layers. Correlation with results of microstructural analyses and computer simulation of the reflectivity experiment indicates that disruption of epitaxy is caused by enhancement of the random crystallization rate by arsenic and fluorine. Kinetics parameters for the enhanced crystallization process are determined; results are interpreted in terms of impurity-catalyzed nucleation during the random crystallization process.

Solubility of carbamazepine co-crystal produced from cooling co-crystallization process with succinic acid as a co-crystal former is investigated in this study. Two techniques were used to determine the solubility of the co-crystal which are gravimetry and HPLC. The solubility experiments in ethanol solvent systems were conducted at 6 different temperatures (25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 °C) while for succinic acid ethanolic solution system were conducted at 5 different concentration ratios. Both of the systems are equilibrated for 72 hours. Result from the experiments has shown that the solubility of co-crystal is temperature dependent. As the temperature increases, the solubility of co-crystal also increases; this agrees with the Second Law of Thermodynamic which states that heat facilitates the dissolution process by providing more energy to the system.

Systematic investigations of the crystallization kinetics of two representative compounds of p-phenylbenzylidene-p´ -alkylanilines are performed, using differential scanning calorimetry, to study the influence of the kinetophase (occurs prior to the crystal phase) on the nucleation process. The dimensionality of the crystal growth and the related crystallization process are discussed in terms of the Avrami parameters n and b. The trend in the magnitude of the Avrami exponent n supports the occurrence of temperature-dependent transformations in the orthorhombic molecular array.

Abstract High intensity focused ultrasound has considerable potential for the noninvasive treatment of localised disease. A detailed understanding of the kinetics of tissue coagulation is required to optimise ultrasonic parameters. In this presentation a theoretical model was used to examine the effects of temperature dependent ultrasonic attenuation and absorption on the transient tissue temperature distributions and lesion dimensions. A finite difference algorithm was used to solve numerically the nonlinear form of the bioheat transfer equation in cylindrical coordinates. The lesion dimensions were calculated based on the time-temperature distributions in tissue by using a thermal dose threshold to define the lesion boundaries. The results were compared to published experimental data in which the the location of maximal energy deposition during short duration high intensity focused ultrasound irradiation of in vitro tissue was examined. It was found that the theoretical model did not predict the size and shape of the experimental lesions. To correctly predict lesion size and shape much higher values of attenuation and absorption were required than can be accounted for by thermal coagulation of the tissue alone. The values used suggest that for intensities greater than 3030 W/cm2 the effective local attenuation/absorption in the focal region increased by a factor of 10–20. It is finally shown that temperature dependent tissue changes should be incorporated in thermal models to avoid underestimation of the induced temperature distributions during high intensity focused ultrasound therapy.

An amorphous-to-fine-grain-polycrystalline phase transformation has been observed during annealing of Sn-implanted Si when the peak Sn concentration exceeds about 2 at.%. At lower Sn concentrations, epitaxial growth is retarded in (100) Si but proceeds to completion with a large fraction of Sn residing on substitutional lattice sites. As the Sn concentration is increased, epitaxy is pre-empted by the sudden transformation of the near-surface Sn-doped region into polycrystalline Si. The time required to initiate the transformation is temperature dependent and is characterized by an activation energy of ∼1.7 eV. Rapid redistribution of Sn has been observed to accompany the transformation. Our observations are shown to be consistent with a melt-mediated crystallization process which is rate limited by Sn diffusion and precipitation in amorphous Si.

Previously, all stereological estimation of particle number and sizes were based on models and notoriously gave biased results, were very inefficient to use and difficult to justify. For all references to old methods and a direct comparison with unbiased methods see recent reviews.The publication in 1984 of the DISECTOR, the first unbiased stereological probe for sampling and counting 3—D objects irrespective of their size and shape, signalled the new era in stereology — and give rise to a number of remarkably simple and efficient techniques based on its distinct property: It is the only known way to obtain an unbiased sample of 3-D objects (cells, organelles, etc). The principle is simple: within a 2-D unbiased frame count or sample only cells which are not hit by a parallel plane at a known, small distance h.The area of the frame and h must be known, which might sometimes in itself be a problem, albeit usually a small one. A more severe problem may arise because these constants are known at the scale of the fixed, embedded and sectioned tissue which is often shrunken considerably.

(111) oriented thin monocrystalline Ni films have been prepared by vacuum evaporation and examined by transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction. In high vacuum, at room temperature, a layer of NaCl was first evaporated onto a freshly air-cleaved muscovite substrate clamped to a copper block with attached heater and thermocouple. Then, at various substrate temperatures, with other parameters held within a narrow range, Ni was evaporated from a tungsten filament. It had been shown previously that similar procedures would yield monocrystalline films of CU, Ag, and Au.For the films examined with respect to temperature dependent effects, typical deposition parameters were: Ni film thickness, 500-800 A; Ni deposition rate, 10 A/sec.; residual pressure, 10-6 torr; NaCl film thickness, 250 A; and NaCl deposition rate, 10 A/sec. Some additional evaporations involved higher deposition rates and lower film thicknesses.Monocrystalline films were obtained with substrate temperatures above 500° C. Below 450° C, the films were polycrystalline with a strong (111) preferred orientation.
