AbstractThe use of nanoparticle precursors for electronic materials including sulfides, selenides, oxides and the elements has potentially wide ranging implications for improving device properties and substantially reducing the deposition costs. To realize this goal the complex interfacial chemistry of these small particles must be controlled. In this paper we present a number of cases demonstrating the complexity of this chemistry. These include CuInSe2 where the kinetics of phase formation dominate the sintering process; CdTe where sintering proceeds with and without the sintering enhancement of CdCl2, but produces materials different electronically than bulk materials; and the use of compound and elemental nanoparticles ( Ag, Al, Hg-Cu-Te and Sb-Te) for contacts to elemental and compound semiconductors (Si and CdTe).

Small particles exhibit chemical and physical behaviors substantially different from bulk materials. This is due to the fact that boundary conditions can induce specific constraints on the observed properties. As an example, energy loss experiments carried out in an analytical electron microscope, constitute a powerful technique to investigate the excitation of collective surface modes (plasmons), which are modified in a limited size medium. In this work a STEM VG HB501 has been used to study the low energy loss spectrum (1-40 eV) of silicon spherical particles [1], and the spatial localization of the different modes has been analyzed through digitally acquired energy filtered images. This material and its oxides have been extensively studied and are very well characterized, because of their applications in microelectronics. These particles are thus ideal objects to test the validity of theories developed up to now.Typical EELS spectra in the low loss region are shown in fig. 2 and energy filtered images for the main spectral features in fig. 3.

A well-controlled route towards biocompatible agglomerated Au-NPs is reported, which span the range from small particles with high diffusion coefficients to larger particles with lower diffusion coefficients. Difference in uptake kinetics of single NPs and agglomerates can be explained by particokinetics, without the need to consider size-mediated cellular uptake mechanisms.

In this research, titanium carbide-nickel (TiC-Ni) composites, with tungsten carbide addition, were fabricated by using a powder metallurgy technique. The TiC-Ni mixtures containing between 0-15 wt. % tungsten carbide (WC), were compacted and then sintered at 1300°C and 1400°C, respectively. The phase formation and microstructure of the WC-added TiC-Ni composites have been investigated by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy techniques. Mechanical properties of these composites were assessed by an indentation technique. The X-ray diffraction patterns showed no evidence of tungsten rich phases in the sintered WC-added cermets. This indicates that during the sintering process, tungsten carbide particles were dissolved in metallic binder phase (Ni phase) via dissolution/re-precipitation process during liquid phase sintering. The liquid phase formed during sintering process could improve sinterability of TiC-based cermets i.e., it could lower sintering temperatures. The TiC-Ni composites typically exhibited a core-rim structure. The cores consisted of undissolved TiC particles enveloped by rims of (Ti, W)C solid solution phase. Hardness of TiC-Ni composites increased with WC content. Sintering temperature also had a slight effect on hardness values.

From the viewpoint of the size dependence of the melting point of small particles, the microstructure of nanophase particles is investigated with EXAFS. Two EXAFS spectrum from BiCu and BiTe nanophase particles indicated the specific line shape due to the disorder of atomic structure of the particles, which was not found for corresponding bulk materials. This fact means that a nanophase particle has not only soft surface due to size effect but also a liquid-like inner structure caused by a thermal fluctuation.

AbstractThe kinetics of γ'-phase formation in a Ni-base superalloy were studied. The data (pairs of cps and 2θ) were processed by the deconvolution program (Wiedemann, Unnam and Clark, 1987), which was rewritten in FORTRAN and installed on an IBM/VM and a VAX/VMS host computer. Optimal program parameters were found. Pure nickel was used as a standard. The only evidence obtained from the raw data is that the early stage of the aging process is accompanied by broadening. Deconvolution resolved the peaks into three kinds of diffraction lines: Ni(γ), precipitate (γ'), and undefined lines which have been interpreted as satellites. The results show that our X-ray diffraction lines are composed of the main diffraction lines of nickel-base A1 type alloy and additive satellites. In an advanced stage of aging the satellites assume the typical diffraction pattern of γ' phase.
