Towards the Physical Reliability of 3D-Integrated Systems: Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopic (BDS) Studies of Material Evolution and Reliability in Integrated Systems

September 30, 2022
Author(s)
Papa Amoah, Joseph J. Kopanski, Yaw S. Obeng, Christopher Sunday, Chukwudi Okoro, Lin You, Dmirty Veksler
In this paper, we present an overview of our current research focus in developing non-destructive metrology for monitoring reliability issues in 3D-integrated electronic systems. We introduce a suite of non-destructive metrologies that can serve as early

High-Throughput Nanopore Fabrication and Classification Using Xe-Ion Irradiation and Automated Pore-Edge Analysis

September 26, 2022

Eric Rus, Eduardo De Lima Correa, Evan Groopman, Todd Williamson, Hussein Hijazi, Leila Kasaei, Leonard Feldman, Cindi L. Dennis, Thomas P. Moffat
Pt1-xNix (x = 0.25 to 0.92) thin films were examined for possible application as temperature sensing magnetic reporters. The alloys were prepared by charge-limited potentiostatic electrodeposition from aqueous chloride-based solutions in the presence and

Certification of Standard Reference Material(R) 915c Calcium Carbonate

September 20, 2022
Author(s)
Thomas W. Vetter, Jason Waters, Adam L. Pintar
Standard Reference Material (SRM) 915c Calcium Carbonate is certified as a chemical substance of known purity. It is intended for use in the calibration and standardization of procedures for calcium (Ca) determinations employed in clinical analysis and for

Mass Spectral Library Methods for Analysis of Site-Specific N-Glycosylation: Application to Human Milk Proteins

September 16, 2022

Concepcion Remoroza, Meghan Burke Harris, Xiaoyu (Sara) Yang, Sergey Sheetlin, Yuri Mirokhin, Sanford Markey, Dmitrii V. Tchekhovskoi, Stephen E. Stein
We present a mass-spectral library-based method for analyzing site-specific N-linked protein glycosylation. Its operation and utility are illustrated by applying it to both newly measured and available proteomics data of human milk glycoproteins. It

Effect of network connectivity on behavior of synthetic Broborg Hillfort glasses

Jose Marcial, Maria Cicconi, Carolyn Pearce, Jaroslav Klouzek, James Neeway, Richard Pokorny, Miroslava Vernerova, John McCloy, Emily Nienhuis, Rolf Sjoblom, Jamie Weaver, Russell Hand, Pavel Hrma, Albert Kruger
There is wide industrial interest in developing robust models of long-term (>100years) glass durability. Archeological glass analogs, glasses of similar composition, and alteration conditions to those being tested for durability can be used to evaluate and

ALD deposited amorphous alumina coatings can slow glass alteration

Miriam Hiebert, Jamie Weaver, Thomas Lam, Nicole Little, Ethan Hyde, Edward Vicenzi, Ray A. Phaneuf
Atomic layer deposited (ALD) amorphous aluminum oxide and titanium oxide coatings have been investigated for use in reducing the rate of silicate glass alteration. Mass spectrometric analysis of leachate from elevated temperature aqueous immersion

Connecting entropy scaling and density scaling

August 17, 2022
Author(s)
Ian Bell, Robin Fingerhut, Jadran Vrabec, Lorenzo Costigliola
It is shown that the residual entropy (entropy minus that of the ideal gas at the same temperature and density) is mostly synonymous with the independent variable of density scaling, identifying a direct link between these two approaches. The residual

Relative effects of polymer composition and sample preparation on glass dynamics

August 17, 2022
Author(s)
Christopher Soles, Amanda L. Forster, Katherine Evans, Madhusudan (Madhu) Tyagi, Robert M. Elder, Timothy Sirk, Joseph Dennis, Kanae Ito, Osama Yamamuro, Hiroshi Akiba
Modern design of common adhesives, composites and polymeric parts makes use of polymer glasses that are stiff enough to maintain their shape under a high stress while still maintaining a ductile behavior after the yield point. Typically, material

Effect of Tribologically-Induced Changes in Surface Termination of Silicon-Containing Diamond-Like Carbon Coatings on the Resistance to Biomolecule Adsorption

August 1, 2022

Cherno Jaye, Daniel A. Fischer, Zixuan Li, Jennings Z. Ye, Jieming Yan, Nicolas Molina, Hsu-Ming Lien, Robert Chrostowksi, Jianliang Lin, Mangolini Mangolini
Silicon-containing diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a class of thin-film materials with excellent mechanical properties, high thermal stability, and good tribological performance over a wide range of environmental conditions. While non-alloyed/non-doped DLCs

Levels and profiles of perfluorinated alkyl acids in liver tissues of birds with different habitat types and trophic levels from an urbanized coastal region of South Korea

Sang Hee Hong, Jessica L. Reiner, Mi Jang, Stacy Schuur, Gi Myung Han, John Kucklick, Won Joon Shim
Contamination status and characteristics of perfluorinated alkyl acids (PFAAs) including perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFCAs) and perfluorinated sulfonic acids (PFSAs) was examined using liver tissue of birds - blacktailed gulls (Larus crassirostris)

Thermal Conductivity of Binary Mixtures of 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane(R-134a), 2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene (R-1234yf), and trans-1,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene (R-1234ze(E)) Refrigerants

Tian Xie, Alexandria Brady, Cecilia Velarde, David Vaccarello, Nicholas Callahan, John Marino, Sara Orski
Bottom-up proteomic experiments often require selective conjugation or labeling of the N- and/or C-termini of peptides either through bottom up approaches or selective post-cleavage functionalization of specific residues after proteolytic digestion . For
