Thermoregulatory Behaviour

Mobile intertidal gastropods can employ behavioural thermoregulation to mitigate thermal stress, which may include retreating under boulders when emersed. However, little is known about how gastropod occupancy of under-boulder habitats is associated with any variations in substrate temperature that exist under boulders. Thermal imagery was used to measure the temperature of boulder lower surfaces and investigate how three snail species were associated at low tide with the maximum and average temperatures underneath grey siltstone and quartzite. Lower boulder surfaces had heterogeneous temperatures, with grey siltstone having temperature gradients and quartzite temperature showing mosaics. Temperature differences between the hottest and coolest gradient or mosaic locations were >5 °C; thus there was a range of temperatures that snails could interact with. All three snail species occupied cooler parts of temperature mosaics or gradients, avoiding the hottest areas. Stronger associations were detected on the hotter grey siltstone and for the more-thermally sensitive Nerita atramentosa and Diloma concameratum. Even though snails were associated with cooler areas, some individuals were still exposed to extreme substratum heat (>50 °C). These results suggest that gastropod thermoregulatory behaviour is far more complex than simply retreating underneath boulders at low tide, as there is also a range of under-boulder temperatures that they interact with. Untangling interactions between intertidal gastropods and heterogenous substrate temperatures is important given rocky seashores already represent a thermally-variable and potentially-stressful habitat, which may be exacerbated further given predictions of warming temperatures associated with climate change.

The temperature distribution on interior hole surfaces of drawing dies in HFCVD reaction was analyzed by combining the FEM simulation and related measurements. The analysis showed a parabolic tendency of elevating substrate temperatures and a moderating tendency of corresponding temperature gradients while enlarging hot-filament radius. The optimization of the hot-filament radius for a sized drawing die to achieve a comfortable substrate temperature distribution for depositing superior diamond films was conducted and safely supported by related experiments. SEM was used to observe the morphology of diamond films. The simulation is of practical significance for improving the deposition of diamond films in HFCVD reaction.

The bismuthates (for example, Ba1-xKxBiO3) represent a class of high transition temperature superconductors. The lack of anisotropy and the long coherence length of the bismuthates makes them technologically interesting for superconductor device applications. To obtain (100) oriented Ba1-xKxBiO3 films on (100) oriented MgO, a two-stage deposition process is utilized. In the first stage the films are nucleated at higher substrate temperatures, without the potassium. This process appears to facilitate the formation of the perovskite (100) orientation on (100) MgO. This nucleation layer is typically between 10 and 50 nm thick. In the second stage, the substrate temperature is reduced and the Ba1-xKxBiO3 is grown. Continued growth of (100) oriented material is possible at the lower substrate temperature.

Amorphous carbon films have been deposited on silicon 〈111〉 and quartz substrates by pulsed ruby laser vaporization from pyrolytic graphite. Depositions have been carried out at different substrate temperatures, and the properties of the deposited carbon films have been studied using IR and UV–VIS transmission, ellipsometry, and laser-Raman spectroscopies. Chemical and electrical resistivity measurements have also been performed. It is shown that the film properties depend critically on the substrate temperature and that at the substrate temperature of 50 °C films with substantial proportion of sp3 hybridized orbitals are obtained.

AbstractMolecular dynamics computer simulations are used to study the effect of substrate temperature on the microstructure of deposited amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a:CH) films. A transition from dense diamond-like films to porous graphite-like films is observed between substrate temperatures of 400K and 600K for a deposition energy of 20 eV. The dense a:CH film grown at 300K and 20 eV has a hardness (˜50 GPa) about half that of a pure carbon (a:C) film grown under the same conditions.

Al films were prepared by DC magnetron sputter deposition at different substrate temperatures. The sheet resistance of the films was measured by four point probe sheet resistance meter, and the film thickness, which was obtained by surface profiling system. The surface and cross-section morphology of the films was observed by AFM and FESEM. As a result, the resistivity of the films decreases obviously as the substrate temperature increases gradually. The higher substrate temperature is, the rougher the films surface is and the larger the grain size is.

ABSTRACTCobalt hydroxide thin films with a thickness of 100 nm were deposited onto glass, Si and indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass substrates by reactively sputtering a Co target in H2O gas. The substrate temperature was varied from -20 to +200°C. The EC performance of the films was investigated in 0.1 M KOH aqueous solution. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy of the samples indicated that Co3O4 films were formed at substrate temperatures above 100°C, and amorphous CoOOH films were deposited in the range from 10 to -20°C. A large change in transmittance of approximately 26% and high EC coloration efficiency of 47 cm2/C were obtained at a wavelength of 600 nm for the CoOOH thin film deposited at -20°C. The good EC performance of the CoOOH films is attributed to the low film density and amorphous structure.

AbstractThe structural, electrical, and optical properties of thin graphite-like films produced by magnetron- assisted sputtering onto crystalline silicon and quartz at substrate temperatures in the range from 320 to 620°C are studied. From analysis of the Raman spectra, it is established that, as the substrate temperature is elevated, the crystallite size increases and the concentration of structural defects and the content of amorphous carbon in the phase composition of the films decrease. It is found that, as the substrate temperature is elevated, the maximum of the absorption intensity in the ultraviolet spectral region of the optical absorption spectra shifts to longer wavelengths and the absorption intensity in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions increases. As the deposition temperature is elevated, the conductivity of the films increases from 0.2 Ω^–1 cm^–1 at 320°C to 30 Ω^–1 cm^–1 at 620°C.

In this study, the anti-impact performance of the TiN coatings prepared under various substrate temperatures (35, 200, 400, and 600 °C) were evaluated using a cyclic impact tester under 104 cycles. Moreover, the microstructure and anti-impact performance-related mechanical properties (adhesion strength and nano-hardness) were investigated to reveal the underlying mechanism of how the substrate temperature affects the anti-impact performance of the coatings. The results showed that the substrate temperature has a great influence on the internal stress, nano-hardness, and adhesion strength as well as the anti-impact performance of TiN coatings, and the coatings prepared under 400 °C exhibit the best impact resistance. The small internal stress, strong adhesion strength as well as high hardness and H3/E2 value for the 400 °C prepared coatings are the main contributes.

Resistance Value

CdTe thin films with different substrate temperatures have been deposited by thermal evaporation method on glass substrate in vacuum chamber having low pressure about 3.0x10-5 mbar. According to XRD analysis, CdTe thin films are polycrystalline belonging to cubic structure with preferential orientation of (111) plane. The strongest peak intensity of XRD is observed in the film prepared with substrate temperature of 150°C. Band gap and band tail values of the as-deposited films were evaluated from the optical transmission spectra. The lowest dark sheet resistance value was obtained from the film prepared with substrate temperature of 150°C as well. Regarding to our experimental results, it may be indicated that the 150°C substrate temperature is the most suitable condition in preparing CdTe thin films for solar cell applications.
