Solid state materials in the form of thin films have found increasing structural and electronic applications. Among the multitude of thin film deposition techniques, the radio frequency induced plasma sputtering has gained considerable utilization in recent years through advances in equipment design and process improvement, as well as the discovery of the versatility of the process to control film properties. In our laboratory we have used the scanning electron microscope extensively in the direct and indirect characterization of sputtered films for correlation with their physical and electrical properties.Scanning electron microscopy is a powerful tool for the examination of surfaces of solids and for the failure analysis of structural components and microelectronic devices.

Zinc Oxide Films

Optical quality zinc oxide films have been characterized using reflection electron diffraction (RED), replication electron microscopy (REM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Significant microstructural differences were observed between rf sputtered films and planar magnetron rf sputtered films. Piezoelectric materials have been attractive for applications to integrated optics since they provide an active medium for signal processing. Among the desirable physical characteristics of sputtered ZnO films used for this and related applications are a highly preferred crystallographic texture and relatively smooth surfaces. It has been found that these characteristics are very sensitive to the type and condition of the substrate and to the several sputtering parameters: target, rf power, gas composition and substrate temperature.

It has been suggested that heparin caused potentiation of aggregation induced by ADP or epinephrine. The exact mechanism of heparin-induced platelet activation, however, remained unknown. In this paper, we have investigated the role of anti-thrombin III ( AT ) in heparin-induced platelet activation using purified AT and AT depleted plasma. When ADP or epinephrine was added to citrated PRP one minute after addition of heparin ( 1 u/ml, porcine intestinal mucosal heparin, Sigma Co. USA ), marked enhancement of platelet aggregation was observed, compared with the degree of aggregation in the absence of heparin. However, in platelet suspensions prepared in modified Tyrode’s solution, heparin exhibited no potentiating effect on platelet aggregation induced by epinephrine or ADP. Potentiation of epinephrine- or ADP-induced platelet aggregation by heparin was demonstrated when purified AT was added to platelet suspensions at a concentration of 20 μg/ml. AT depleted plasma, which was prepared by immunosorption using matrix-bound antibodies to AT, retained no AT, while determination of α1-antitrypsinα2- macroglobulin and fibrinogen in AT depleted plasma produced values which corresponded to those of the original plasma when dilution factor was taken into account. The activities of coagulation factors were also comparable to those of the original plasma. Heparin exhibited potentiating effect on ADP- or epinephrine-induced aggregation of platelets in original plasma, but no effect in AT depleted plasma. When purified AT was added back to AT depleted plasma at a concentration of 20 μg/ml, potentiation of platelet aggregation by heparin was clearly demonstrated.Our results suggest that effect of heparin on platelet aggregation is also mediated by anti-thrombin III.

Sodium ion complex formation has been investigated potentiometrically in four homologous bis(crown) series I-IV differing by the nature of substituent placed at the linking trimethylene chain (X = OH, OCH3, OCH2C6H5 and H respectively). A marked enhancement of the complex stability has been observed in the bis(crown) series I and attributed to participation of the lateral hydroxyl group in the sandwich complex formation. Evidence in support of the sandwich structure has been provided (i) by analysis of the potentiometric data indicating a 1:1 complex stoichiometry and (ii) by a comparison of the complex stability data from the bis(crown) series I with the corresponding values from related monocyclic ligand series V, VI and VII revealing a pronounced cooperation of both macrorings in the sodium ion-bis(crown) I complex formation.
