ABSTRACTLow temperature (600–800&C) thermal treatment subsequent to high temperature short time anneal of As implanted Si has resulted in significant clustering of As atoms in Si. Si wafers implanted with As at a variety of doses and energies were subjected to single and multiple thermal anneals using incoherent tungsten radiation. Sheet resistance (R▩ ), and Rutherford backscattering (RBS) and channeling measurements were carried out on the wafers. The metastable behavior observed in the activation of As was attributed to electrical deactivation of As atoms caused by clustering. From the temperature dependence of the rate of increase in R▩ we extracted a value of 1.1 eV for the activation energy of electronic deactivation of As atoms in agreement with the value obtained earlier for the activation of As clustering. We also report, for the first time, observation of a structure in the Si RBS spectrum which represents a defective layer in Si caused by the clustering As atoms.

Holder pasteurization (HoP; 62.5 °C, 30 min) is commonly used to ensure the microbiological safety of donor human milk (DHM) but diminishes its nutritional properties. A high-temperature short-time (HTST) system was designed as an alternative for human milk banks. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of this HTST system on different nutrients and the bile salt stimulated lipase (BSSL) activity of DHM. DHM was processed in the HTST system and by standard HoP. Macronutrients were measured with a mid-infrared analyzer. Lactose, glucose, myo-inositol, vitamins and lipids were assayed using chromatographic techniques. BSSL activity was determined using a kit. The duration of HTST treatment had a greater influence on the nutrient composition of DHM than did the tested temperature. The lactose concentration and the percentage of phospholipids and PUFAs were higher in HTST-treated than in raw DHM, while the fat concentration and the percentage of monoacylglycerides and SFAs were lower. Other nutrients did not change after HTST processing. The retained BSSL activity was higher after short HTST treatment than that following HoP. Overall, HTST treatment resulted in better preservation of the nutritional quality of DHM than HoP because relevant thermosensitive components (phospholipids, PUFAs, and BSSL) were less affected.

Mathematical models describing the thermal inactivation of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (TP) and Listeria innocua in milk during high-temperature short-time (HTST) pasteurization were validated with data from TP, L. innocua, and L. monocytogenes trials in guar gum–milk. Holding tube times were determined for turbulent flow using water, and for laminar flow using a guar gum (0.27% wt/wt)–sucrose (5.3% wt/wt)–water mixture. Inactivation of TP and L. innocua was lower in a solution of guar gum (0.25% wt/wt) in whole milk than was predicted by models derived from studies with whole milk alone. Use of laminar flow timings improved model fit but did not completely account for the observed protective effect. L. monocytogenes survival was close to that predicted by the L. innocua model, although some protection was afforded this pathogen under laminar flow. Considerable intertrial variability was noted for L. monocytogenes. Risk analysis simulations using @RISK, a Lotus 1-2–3W add-in, were used to account for intertrial variability. Simulated log10 %reductions consistently underpredicted experimental L. monocytogenes survival (fail-safe), thus the L. innocua model derived in milk is suitable for estimating L. monocytogenes survival in viscous products. Increased thermal tolerance during laminar flow may be attributed to the protective effect of stabilizer.

Abstract High-temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments up to T = 2710 °C have been performed on ZrSiO4 and ZrO2 powders, using the container-less levitation technique. A two-dimensional imaging plate (IP) detector was used for short-time observation. The diffraction data in a wide area was projected in one dimension. The unit cell parameters, thermal expansions, and c/a ratios for ZrSiO4 (space group I41/amd and Z = 4), tetragonal ZrO2 (space group P42/nmc and Z = 2) and cubic ZrO2 (space group  F m 3   ‾ m $Fm3‾{}m$ and Z = 4) were measured to understand the high-temperature behaviors. The transition temperature between tetragonal and cubic ZrO2 was specified to be between 2430 and 2540 °C. The pre-transitional behavior was observed around 2200 °C. As no clear change in unit cell volume is evident, the phase boundary between the tetragonal and the cubic phase has been shown to be a positive slope. The ZrO2 and ZrO2–SiO2 phase diagrams are proposed based on the chemical composition and the crystal structure.
