The optical properties of particulate emitted from fires burning two distinct polydimethylsiloxane fluids (D4 and M2 or MM, where D=(CH3)2SiO and M=(CH3)3SiO2) were obtained using a transmission cell-reciprocal nephelometer in conjunction with gravimetric

Coherent Raman and Infrared Studies of Sulfur Trioxide

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
E T. Chrysostom, N Vulpanovici, Tony Masiello, J Barber, J W. Niblez, A Weber, A G. Maki, Thomas A. Blake
High resolution (0.001 cm -1) coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) was used to observe the Q-branch structure of the IR-inactive Ņ 1 symmetric stretching mode of 32S 160 3 and its various 18O isotopomers. The Ņ 1 spectrum of 32S 160 3 reveals two

Confinement Effects on the Spatial Extent of the Reaction Front in Ultrathin Chemically Amplified Photoresists

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
D L. Goldfarb, M Angelopoulos, Eric K. Lin, Ronald L. Jones, Christopher Soles, Joseph~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined Lenhart, Wen-Li Wu
Sub-100 nm lithography poses strict requirements on photoresist material properties and processing conditions to achieve necessary critical dimension (CD) control of patterned structures. As resist thickness and feature linewidth decrease, fundamental

Contact Tube Temperature During GMAW

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
G Adam, Thomas A. Siewert, Timothy P. Quinn, D P. Vigliotti
The rate of heating and the maximum temperature reached by the contact tube during gas metal arc welding (GMAW) is quantified. We studied the effect of changes in the contact-tube-to-work distance (CTWD), voltage, welding wire feed speed, gas flow rate

Convalent Cationization Method for the Analysis of Polyethylene by Mass Spectrometry

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
Barry J. Bauer, William E. Wallace, B M. Fanconi, Kathleen M. Flynn
Polyethylene and other polyolefins have not been amenable to mass spectrometric characterization of molecular mass distribution due to the ineffectiveness of conventional methods of cationization. The lack of polar groups, unsaturation, and aromaticity

Critical Dimension Metrology and the Scanning Electron Microscope

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
Michael T. Postek, Andras Vladar
Metrology is a principal enabler for the development and manufacture of current and future generations of semiconductor devices. With the potential of 130-nm, and 100-nm, and even smaller linewidths and high-aspect-ratio structures, the scanning electron

Crystal Chemistry and Phase Equilibria of Selected SrO- R 2 O 3 -CuO x and Related Systems, R=Lanthanides and Yttrium

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
Winnie K. Wong-Ng, Qingzhen Huang, Igor Levin, James A. Kaduk, J Dillingham, T J. Haugan, J Suh, Lawrence P. Cook
This paper investigates and reviews the trend of phase formation and crystal chemistry of selected series of compounds in SrO- R 2O 3-CuO x and related systems. Including in this discussion are (Ba,Sr) 2RCu 3O 6+x, where M = selected representative and

Crystal Structures of Calcium Orthophosphates

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
M Mathew, Shozo Takagi
Calcium phosphates comprise the largest group of biominerals in vertebrate animals. They also have many uses in industry, medicine and everyday life. Orthophosphates are salts of the tribasic phosphoric acid which include H 2PO 4-, HPO 4 2- and PO 4 3-

Crystallographic Texture in Ceramics and Metals

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
Mark D. Vaudin
Preferred crystallographic orientation, or texture, occurs almost universally, both in natural and man-made systems. Many components and devices in electronic and magnetic systems are fabricated from materials that have crystallographic texture. The

Dispersion and Nucleating Effects of Clay Fillers in Nanocomposite Polymer Films

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
V Ferreiro, G Schmidt, Charles C. Han, Alamgir Karim
Nanocomposite polymeric materials offer unique properties such as mechanical, electrical, thermal, etc. Such property enhancements are induced not only by the physical presence of the filler but also by the interaction of the polymer with the filler and

Estimating the RMS of a Wavefront and Its Uncertainty

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
Angela Davies, M. Levenson
The root mean square (RMS) of the surface departure or wavefront deformation is a common value to extract from an optical test. The RMS may be a tolerance an optical fabricatior is trying to meet or it may be a parameter used by an optical designer to
