ABSTRACTThis paper proposes the novel processing technique on the formation of InSb thin film which may not be influenced by the vapor pressure difference between In and Sb. Three layers which are composed of In with 1000 A of thickness, Sb with 5000 A and In with 4000 A are deposited sequentially at room temperature. During post heat treatment of these layers, InSb compound phase begins to form and the outer In layer suppresses the reevaporation of more volatile material, Sb. Since multiple single layers are sequentially evaporated, the problem of the severe vapor pressure difference betweentwoevaporating materialsmaynotcontributetothestoichiometriccomposition which may be the most critical parameter to determine the quality of films. The characterization of a fabricated InSb thin film by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope shows that the proposed multilayer method may be a powerful technique to form a high quality InSb compound thin film.

To overcome the two-phase flow instability of traditional boiling heat dissipation technologies, a porous wick was used for liquid-vapor isolation, achieving efficient and stable boiling heat dissipation. A pump-assisted capillary phase-change loop with methanol as the working medium was established to study the effect of liquid-vapor pressure difference and heating power on its start-up and steady-state characteristics. The results indicated that the evaporator undergoes four heat transfer modes, including flooded, partially flooded, thin-film evaporation, and overheating. The thin-film evaporation mode was the most efficient with the shortest start-up period. In addition, heat transfer modes were determined by the liquid-vapor pressure difference and power. The heat transfer coefficient significantly improved and the thermal resistance was reduced by increasing liquid-vapor pressure as long as it did not exceed 8 kPa. However, when the liquid-vapor pressure exceeded 8 kPa, its influence on the heat transfer coefficient weakened. In addition, a two-dimensional heat transfer mode distribution diagram concerning both liquid-vapor pressure difference and power was drawn after a large number of experiments. During an engineering application, the liquid-vapor pressure difference can be controlled to maintain efficient thin-film evaporation in order to achieve the optimum heat dissipation effect.

However, when the liquid-vapor pressure difference exceeded 8kPa, its influence on the heat transfer coefficient weakened. In addition, a two-dimensional heat transfer mode distribution diagram considering both liquid-vapor pressure difference and power was drawn through a great number of experiments. During engineering application, the liquid-vapor pressure difference can be controlled to maintain efficient thin film evaporation in order to achieve the optimum heat dissipation effect.

In this study, thin films of CaBi4Ti4O15with preferential crystal orientation were prepared by the chemical solution deposition (CSD) technique on a SiO2/Si substrate. The films consisted of a crystalline phase of bismuth-layer-structured dielectric. The as-deposited CaBi4Ti4O15thin films were crystallized in a conventional furnace annealing (RTA) under the temperature of 700 to 800°C for 1min. Structural and morphological characterization of the CBT thin films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The impedance analyzer HP4294A and HP4156C semiconductor parameters analyzer were used to measurement capacitance voltage (C-V) characteristics and leakage current density of electric field (J-E) characteristics by metal-ferroelectric-insulator- semiconductor (MFIS) structure. By the experimental result the CBT thin film in electrical field 20V, annealing temperature in 750°C the CBT thin film leaks the electric current is 1.88x10-7A/cm2and the memory window is 1.2V. In addition, we found the strongest (119) peak of as-deposited thin films as the annealed temperature of 750°C

The porous-media-based electrospray thruster is a cutting-edge micropropulsion technology that can revolutionize the capabilities of microsatellites. This paper reports the design, fabrication, and characterization of a novel porous-media borosilicate glass electrospray thruster. The porous glass used here is integrally formed by the phase separation method, which make it display outstanding pore uniformity and processability. The picosecond ultraviolet laser processing technique is applied to machine 361 emitters out of glass. Performance characteristic experiments are conducted with the thruster passively fed with ionic EMI-BF4 liquid. The results reveal that the per-emitter can emit up to 200.46 nA of ion current at 2 kV. The novel porous glass and the corresponding machine method present an opportunity to attain more-controllable emitter shapes, which has a positive impact on thruster lifetime and performance improvement.

AbstractIn this paper a novel processing technique has been used to produce a range of low overpotential nickel based electrocatalytic coatings for use in the Chlor-alkali industry. These coatings include pure nickel as well as Raney nickel alloys, with particular focus upon the beneficial effects of molybdenum additions to Raney nickel.Structural characterisation of all coatings has been carried out using X-ray diffraction for quantitative phase identification, backed up by optical and electron microscopy for analysis of phase distribution. Measurement of the coatings' electrochemical properties has been performed in fully functioning micro-pilot scale electrolysis cells.

The novel Y2O3 nanoflowers were synthesized through a facile hydrothermal method without using any catalyst or template. The phase composition and the microstructure of as-prepared products were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) as well as Fourier transform infrared spectrum. The formation mechanism for the Y2O3 flowers has been proposed.

The proligand para-benzenediseleninic acid, (HO2SeC6H4SeO2H) (Figure), is the seleno analog to the commonly used MOF spacer proligand, terephthalic acid. Novel coordination polymers based on this proligand, and Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) or Zn(II) metal centers containing auxiliary water molecules, [M(O2SeC6H4SeO2)2(H2O)n], were synthesized. Depending on the reaction conditions, different pure or mixed phases can be produced. Crystal to crystal transformations of the novel coordination polymers were studied with powder X ray diffraction, infrared spectral analysis and thermal gravimetric analysis. These coordination polymers can be dehydrated with subsequent formation of new anhydrous coordination polymer phases. Some of these phases can be rehydrated to lead back to the crystalline starting materials or to new crystalline hydrated phases. We are working on the complete structural characterization of the phases.
