Grain Boundary Crack Growth in Interconnects With an Electric Current

June 1, 1999
Author(s)
C Y. Liu, S K. Lee, Tze J. Chuang
Failure of thin-film interconnects poses a great concern in semiconductor devices. Due to the high electric current density in interconnects, electromigration-induced atomic flux is recognized as an important failure mechanisms. For wide polycrystalline

Bond Lengths in Strained Semiconductor Alloys

May 1, 1999
Author(s)
Joseph C. Woicik
The bond lengths in a series of strained, buried Ga1-xInxAs thin-alloy films grown coherently on GaAs(001) and InP(001) substrates have been determined by high-resolution extended x-ray absorption fine-structure and diffraction anomalous fine-structure

Tensile Creep and Rupture of Silicon Nitride

May 1, 1999
Author(s)
Ralph Krause, William E. Luecke, J French, B Hockey, Sheldon M. Wiederhorn
We have characterized the tensile creep, rupture lifetime, and cavitation behavior of a commercial, gas-pressure-sintered silicon nitride in the temperature range 1150 to 1400 C and stress range 70 to 400 MPa. Individual creep curves generally show primary

The Local Structure of Ferroelectric Pb 1-x Ge x Te

May 1, 1999
Author(s)
Bruce D. Ravel, Eric J. Cockayne, K M. Rabe
The narrow band-gap semiconductor Pb_{1-x}Ge_xTe has a low-temperature ferroelectric rhombohedral phase whose average structure is a distorted rock salt structure. We have measured the Extended X-ray-Absorption Fine-Structure spectra of Pb_{1-x}Ge_xTe with

Generation of Different UHMWPE Particle Shape by Wear Through Surface Texturing

April 1, 1999
Author(s)
H. W. Fang, M C. Shen, U Cho, John A. Tesk, A Christou, Stephen M. Hsu
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) wear particles in replaced joints have been linked to biochemical reactions that eventually lead to loosening of prosthesis. Several studies have shown that UHMWPE produces a wide range of particle sizes

Local Environments of Three Forms of Ba 2 Ycu 3 O 6+x

March 12, 1999
Author(s)
Winnie K. Wong-Ng, M Melamud, Lawrence H. Bennett
The Wigner-Seitz local atomic cell construction procedure, provides a topological means for comparing series of related structures in terms of the number and type of nearest neighbors. We used this construction to further our understanding of the chemical

Microstructural Changes in YSZ Deposits During Annealing

March 1, 1999
Author(s)
Andrew J. Allen, J Ilavsky, Gabrielle G. Long, Jay S. Wallace, C C. Berndt, H Herman
Various methods have been applied to the microstructural characterization of thermally-sprayed depostis. However, coexisting anisotropic distributions of intra-splat cracks and interlamellar pores, and the broad size range of rounded globular pores, have

VAMAS Technical Working Area #3

March 1, 1999
Author(s)
George D. Quinn, E F. Begley
Technical Working Area #3, Ceramics of the Versailles Advanced Materials and Standards (VAMAS) project has conducted 12 projects and 12,000 experiments over 12 years. This website explains TWA3, and lists the key accomplishments and publications from the

Barium Hollandite-Type Compounds Ba x Fe 2x Ti 8-2x O 16 with x= 1.143 and 1.333

February 23, 1999
Author(s)
J. M. Loezos, Terrell A. Vanderah, A R. Drews
Experimental X-ray powder diffraction patterns and refined unit cell parameters for two barium hollandite-type compounds. Ba xFe 2xTi 8-2xO 16, with x = 1.143 and 1.333, are reported here. Compared to the tetragonal parent structure, both compounds exhibit

The Use of Cyclic Phosphazene Additives to Enhance the Performance of the Head/Disk Interface

January 29, 1999
Author(s)
H J. Kang, Q Zhao, F E. Talke, D J. Perettie, B M. DeKoven, T A. Morgan, Daniel A. Fischer, Stephen M. Hsu, C S. Bhatia
Phase separation of phosphazene additives in perfluoropolyalkylether (PFPAE) lubricants is investigated as a function of additive concentration and lubricant layer thickness. The tribological behavior of various phosphazene additive/lubricant mixtures is

Ceramics 1998 Programs and Accomplishments

January 1, 1999
Author(s)
Stephen W. Freiman
The mission of the Ceramics Division can be stated as follows:Work with industry, standards bodies, academia, and other government agencies in providing the leadership for the Nation's measurements and standards infrastructure for ceramic materials.The

Characterization of Ternary Compounds in the BaO:Fe 2 O 3 :TiO 2 System: Ba 6 Fe 45 Ti 17 O 106 and BaFe 11 Ti 3 O 23

January 1, 1999
Author(s)
Terrell A. Vanderah, Winnie K. Wong-Ng, B H. Toby, V. M. Browning, Robert D. Shull, Richard G. Geyer, Robert S. Roth
Single crystals of Ba 6Fe 45Ti 17O 106 and BaFe 11Ti 3O 23 were obtained as major and minor co-products, respectively, by slow-cooling an off-stoichiometric BaO:Fe 2O 3:TiO 2 melt. The former compound exhibits variable stoichiometry Ba 6Fe 48-xTi 14+xO 106
