ABSTRACTOxygen 0+ ions have been implanted into Si both at room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature in order to determine the effect of implantation temperature on SiO2 formation. Samples were analysed by RBS with 1.5 MeV He+ ions. The implants of 0+ in Si were done at 150 keV with current densities of ≤10 μA/cm2. For doses of more than 1.5×1018 0+/cm2, in-situ RBS experiments positively indicate a 2:1 oxygen silicon ratio. Increased 0+ doses (for both room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature) cause the Si02 layers to spread uniformly and symmetrically toward both the surface and the interior. From these results, it is apparent that excess oxygen diffuses toward Si/Si02 interfaces in our experimental situation even at liquid nitrogen temperature.

The present work investigates the effect of rolling temperature on the mechanical properties and microstructural evolution of an Al-Mg-Si alloy with 3wt% TiB2 in-situ composite that was fabricated by stir casting route. The composite was rolled to a true strain of ≈0.7 at three different temperatures viz; room temperature (RT), liquid propanol (LP) and liquid nitrogen (LN) temperatures. Tensile tests revealed that the samples rolled at liquid nitrogen temperature exhibited improved properties compared to the samples rolled at other two temperatures. A tensile strength and ductility of 291 MPa and 8% respectively were exhibited by the liquid nitrogen rolled sample. The strength is observed to be ≈12% higher and ductility is ≈60% more when compared to the room temperature rolled sample. X ray diffraction peaks indicated that rolled samples exhibited considerable increase in peak broadening compared to the unrolled one, which is attributed to the increase of the lattice strain due to distortion and the decrease in grain size of the material. The enhanced mechanical properties of the liquid nitrogen rolled samples were attributed to the combined effect of grain refinement and accumulation of higher dislocation density.

AbstractIon implantation damage and annealing results are presented for a number of crystalline oxides. In A12 O3, the amorphous phase produced by ion bombardment of the pure material first crystallizes in the (crystalline) γ phase. This is followed by the transformation of γ-Al2 O3 to α-A12O3 at a well defined interface. The activation energy for the growth of α alumina from γ is 3.6 eV/atom. In CaTiO3, the implantation-induced amorphous phase transforms to the crystalline phase by solid-phase epitaxy (SPE). ZnO is observed to remain crystalline even after high implantation doses at liquid nitrogen temperatures. The near surface of KTaO3 is transformed to a polycrystalline state after implantation at room temperature or liquid nitrogen temperature.

The influences of low temperature on the interlaminar properties for PBO fiber/epoxy composites have been studied at liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K) in terms of three point bending test. Results showed that the interlaminar shear strength at 77 K were significantly higher than those at room temperature (RT). For the analysis of the test results, the tensile behaviors of epoxy resin at both room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature were investigated. The interface between fiber and matrix was observed using SEM images.

ABSTRACTWe have carried out a study to understand the mechanisms involved in the formation of buried SIO2 by high dose implantation of oxygen into Si targets. Oxygen ions were implanted at 150 keV with doses up to 2.5 X 1018 ions/cm2 and a current density of less than 10 μA/cm2 into Si 〈100〉 at room and liquid nitrogen temperatures. In-situ Rutherford backscattering (RBS) analysis clearly indicates the formation of uniform buried SIO2 for both room and liquid nitrogen temperatures for doses above 1.5 X 1018/cm2.Oxygen ions were implanted at room temperature into crystalline quartz to doses of about 1018 ions cm2 at 150 keV, with a current density of 〈10〉10 μA/cm2. The RBS spectra of the oxygen implanted quartz cannot be distinguished from those of unimplanted ones. Furthermore, Si ions were implanted into crystalline quartz at 80 keV and dose of 1 X 1017 Si/cm2, and a current aensity of about 1 μA/cm2. However, no signal from Si in excess of the SiO2 ratio could be observed. Our results obtained by RBS show that implantation of either Si+ or O into SiO2 under conditions stated above does not create a layer whose Si:O ratio differs measurably from that of SiO2.

Since discovery of the Y-Ba-Cu oxide compound showing superconductivity above liquid nitrogen temperature, intensive study has been under way to clarify nature of the high Tc oxides[l-4]. Much efforts were also made in the field of superconductor applications. A number of studies have been carried out by a powder metallurgical process of Y-Ba-Cu oxide compound wires, although, obtained critical current densities were still low at liquid nitrogen temperature[5–6]. Other techniques for wire fabrication is also being attempted[7–9]. In this study, Y-Ba-Cu oxide superconducting composite tapes were prepared by a diffusion process, which is one of the promising methods to obtain a high critical current density.

The electrical characteristics of insulating materials play a key role on the working performance and operation reliability of power equipment. With the rapid development of superconducting technology in recent years,the working temperature of high temperature superconducting power equipment can be controlled around the liquid nitrogen temperature. Due to its excellent dielectric performance and mechanical properties, polyimide have been widely used in power equipment at room temperature. However, polyimide, as a kind of cryogenic insulating materials, is rarely reported at present. Therefore, the study of the insulating characteristics of polyimide at the cryogenic temperatures is of great significance. The DC breakdown property and flashover performance of polyimide are tested around room temperature (300K) and liquid nitrogen temperature (78K). The results show that temperature has some effects on the DC breakdown property and flashover performance of polyimide.

In order to provide adequate cryogenic cooling of both existing and next-generation crystal monochromators, a new approach to produce an optimum thermal interface between the first crystal and its copper heat exchanger is proposed. This will ensure that the increased heat load deposited by higher X-ray powers can be properly dissipated. Utilizing a cylindrical silicon crystal, a tubular copper heat exchanger and by exploiting the differing thermal and mechanical properties of the two, a very good thermal interface was achieved at liquid-nitrogen temperatures. The surface flatness of the diffracting plane at one end of the cylindrical crystal was measured at room temperature while unconstrained. The crystal was then placed into the copper heat exchanger, a slide fit at room temperature, and then cooled to liquid-nitrogen temperature. At −200°C the slide fit became an interference fit. This room-temperature `loose' fit was modelled using finite-element analysis to obtain the desired fit at cryogenic temperatures by prescribing the fit at room temperature. Under these conditions, the diffraction surface was measured for distortion due to thermal and mechanical clamping forces. The total deformation was measured to be 30 nm, an order of magnitude improvement over deformation caused by cooling alone with the original side-clamped design this concept method is set to replace. This new methodology also has the advantage that it is repeatable and does not require macro-scale tools to acquire a nanometre-accuracy mounting.

AbstractRoom temperature current-voltage (I-V) characteristics were studied across the thickness of the Ge nanocrystalline films, prepared by the cluster beam evaporation technique. The films thus prepared are deposited either at room temperature (Ge-RT) or at liquid nitrogen temperature (Ge-LNT). Ge-LNT nanofilm is subjected to oxidation while Ge-RT did not get oxidized. Steps were observed in the I-V characteristics of the thin Ge- LNT samples suggesting the Coulomb Blockade effect.

ABSTRACTIon damage build up has been measured by ion channeling in good quality epitaxial GaN films on sapphire. GaN is found to be remarkably resistant to ion damage, with extremely efficient dynamic defect annihilation occurring at liquid nitrogen temperature during ion implantation. When disorder does accumulate at doses around 1016cm−2 of 90 keV Si ions, the surface appears to be a strong sink for damage build up and possibly the nucleation of amorphous layers. Once ion disorder has been produced in GaN, it is extremely difficult to remove by annealing. GaN exhibits disordering and annealing behaviour which is somewhat similar to that in high Al-content AlGaAs.

Films of chemically disordered fcc Ni3Al were synthesized by the vacuum evaporation of Ni3Al onto room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature substrates. X-ray diffractometry and transmission electron microscopy showed the material to be single phase with an average grain size of about 4 nm. The formation of the equilibrium L12 ordered phase occurred simultaneously with grain growth at temperatures above 350°C. Differential scanning calorimetry provided ordering enthalpies of 7 kJ/mole and 9 kJ/mole for material evaporated onto room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature substrates, respectively.
