AbstractWe present structure and equation of state (EOS) measurements of biaxially orientated polyethylene terephthalate (PET, $$({\hbox {C}}_{10} {\hbox {H}}_8 {\hbox {O}}_4)_n$$ ( C 10 H 8 O 4 ) n , also called mylar) shock-compressed to ($$155 \pm 20$$ 155 ± 20 ) GPa and ($$6000 \pm 1000$$ 6000 ± 1000 ) K using in situ X-ray diffraction, Doppler velocimetry, and optical pyrometry. Comparing to density functional theory molecular dynamics (DFT-MD) simulations, we find a highly correlated liquid at conditions differing from predictions by some equations of state tables, which underlines the influence of complex chemical interactions in this regime. EOS calculations from ab initio DFT-MD simulations and shock Hugoniot measurements of density, pressure and temperature confirm the discrepancy to these tables and present an experimentally benchmarked correction to the description of PET as an exemplary material to represent the mixture of light elements at planetary interior conditions.

AbstractNanoporosity in silicon leads to completely new functionalities of this mainstream semiconductor. A difficult to assess mechanics has however significantly limited its application in fields ranging from nanofluidics and biosensorics to drug delivery, energy storage and photonics. Here, we present a study on laser-excited elastic guided waves detected contactless and non-destructively in dry and liquid-infused single-crystalline porous silicon. These experiments reveal that the self-organised formation of 100 billions of parallel nanopores per square centimetre cross section results in a nearly isotropic elasticity perpendicular to the pore axes and an 80% effective stiffness reduction, altogether leading to significant deviations from the cubic anisotropy observed in bulk silicon. Our thorough assessment of the wafer-scale mechanics of nanoporous silicon provides the base for predictive applications in robust on-chip devices and evidences that recent breakthroughs in laser ultrasonics open up entirely new frontiers for in-situ, non-destructive mechanical characterisation of dry and liquid-functionalised porous materials.

Polymer materials have widespread applications in various situations for structural materials by themselves as well as by combining with other materials such as carbon fiber. Some of them are also candidates for energetic materials in space applications.[1] Due to their general use, shock response of them has attracted attention for many researchers.[2-4] One of the striking characteristics of the dynamic response of them is that stress and/or particle velocity profile has a relaxation structure of s range.[5, 6]

AbstractFormation of highly activated, ultra-shallow and abrupt profiles is a key requirement for the next generations of CMOS devices, particularly for source-drain extensions. For p-type dopant implants (boron), a promising method of increasing junction abruptness is to use Ge preamorphizing implants prior to ultra-low energy B implantation and solid-phase epitaxy regrowth to re-crystallize the amorphous Si. However, for future technology nodes, new issues arise when bulk silicon is supplanted by silicon-on-insulator (SOI). Previous results have shown that the buried Si/SiO2 interface can improve dopant activation, but the effect depends on the detailed preamorphization conditions and further optimization is required. In this paper a range of B doses and Ge energies have been chosen in order to situate the end-of-range (EOR) defect band at various distances from the back interface of the active silicon film (the interface with the buried oxide), in order to explore and optimize further the effect of the interface on dopant behavior. Electrical and structural properties were measured by Hall Effect and SIMS techniques. The results show that the boron deactivates less in SOI material than in bulk silicon, and crucially, that the effect increases as the distance from the EOR defect band to the back interface is decreased. For the closest distances, an increase in junction steepness is also observed, even though the B is located close to the top surface, and thus far from the back interface. The position of the EOR defect band shows the strongest influence for lower B doses.
