The Effect of Interfacial Roughness on the Thin Film Morphology and Charge Transport of High-Performance Polythiophenes

March 11, 2008
Author(s)
Y S. Jung, Regis J. Kline, Daniel A. Fischer, Eric K. Lin, Martin Heeney, Iain McCulloch, Dean DeLongchamp
We control and vary the roughness of a dielectric upon which a high-performance polymer semiconductor, poly(2,5-bis(3-alkylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene) (pBTTT) is cast, to determine the effects of roughness on thin-film microstructure and the

Friction Measurements of Ultra-Thin Carbon Overcoats in Air

April 1, 2002

P M. McGuiggan, C S. Bhatia, D Bogy, W Fong, Stephen M. Hsu
The friction force as a function of humidity was measured between 5 nm thick carbon films coated onto mica surfaces. The friction was found to be proportional to the area of contact. The shear stress at 0%, 33%, and 100% humidity was measured to be 25 +6

Design of Nanoporous Ultra Low-Dielectric Constant Organosilicates by Self-Assembly

April 1, 2001
Author(s)
S Y. Yang, T L. Dull, J Sun, Albert F. Yee, P Mirau, C S. Pai, O Nalamasu, E Reichmanis, Eric K. Lin, V. J. Lee, D Gidley, W E. Frieze
Here we report a new class of materials that can reach ultra low- dielectric constants while maintaining good mechanical properties. In this approach, amphiphilic triblock copolymers, poly(ethylene oxide-b-propylene oxide-b-ethylene oxide) (PEO-b-PPO-b-PEO

Elemental and Molecular Imaging of Human Hair Using Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry

April 1, 1999
Author(s)
John G. Gillen, S V. Roberson, C M. Ng, M Stranick
Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is used to image the spatial distribution of elemental and molecular species on the surface and in cross-sections of doped human hair using a magnetic sector SIMS instrument operated as an ion microprobe. Analysis of

Flow of microemulsions through microscopic pores

November 15, 1992
Author(s)
Dean C. Ripple, Robert F. Berg
The flow of the microemulsion dioctylsulfosuccinate (AOT)/decane/water through 0.1 and 1.0 um diameter pores was studied for water droplet volume fractions ranging from 0 to 0.5. The viscosity of these microemulsions, as measured in a capillary viscometer

Updated NIST Photomask Linewidth Standard

May 1, 2003
Author(s)
J Pedulla, James E. Potzick, Michael T. Stocker
NIST is preparing to issue the next generation in its line of binary photomask linewidth standards. Called SRM 2059, it was developed for calibrating microscopes used to measure linewidths on photomasks, and consists of antireflecting chrome line and space

Insights on grain refinement of Al-Mn-Fe-Si alloy via in situ reaction during laser direct energy deposition

February 2, 2025
Author(s)
Qingyu Pan, Fan Zhang, Deepak Vikraman Pillai, Zilong Zhang, Yufeng Zheng, Lang Yuan, Monica Kapoor, John Carsley, Xiaoyuan Lou
In the present work, we studied the grain refinement by adding in situ reactants, pure titanium (Ti) or a combination of Ti and boron (B), and investigated the governing mechanism in Al-Mn-Fe-Si 3104 alloy made by laser direct energy deposition (DED)

Optical Characterization of Parasitic Motion in a Long-Stroke Shaker

December 2, 2024
Author(s)
Jared Strait, Richard A. Allen
We present an optical scheme to simultaneously characterize the cross-axis and rotational parasitic motions of a long-stroke shaker. By leveraging the geometric properties of a corner cube retroreflector mounted on the shaker load table, we independently
