Effects of fiber gripping methods on the single fiber tensile test: I. Non parametric statistical analysis

February 15, 2013
Author(s)
Jae Hyun Kim, Nathanael A. Heckert, Stefan D. Leigh, Haruki Kobayashi, Walter G. McDonough, Kirk D. Rice, Gale A. Holmes
Single fiber tensile tests using two different gripping methods were carried out on various fiber lengths. One method (the glue-tab grip) consists of mounting a fiber onto a rigid tab as specified in ASTM C1557-03 using an adhesive, while the other (the

Salt-Specific Effects in Aqueous Dispersions of Carbon Nanotubes

Jeffrey A. Fagan, Carlos A. Silvera Batista, Alberto Striolo, Naga Rajesh Tummala, Manaswee Suttipong
Tremendous progress has been made to stabilize carbon nanotube dispersions using surfactants, although many questions await answer to design surfactant formulations that selectively stabilize nanotubes mono-dispersed in diameter and chirality. Stimulated

Spontaneous wrinkling in azlactone-based functional polymer thin films in 2d and 3d geometries for guided nanopatterning

Muruganathan Ramanathan, Bradley S. Lokitz, Jamie M. Messman, Christopher Stafford, S. M. Kilbey
We report a simple, one step process for developing wrinkling patterns in azlactone-based polymer thin films and brushes in 2D and 3D surfaces. The polymer used in this work wrinkles spontaneously upon deposition and solidification on a substrate without

Effects of dual antibacterial agents MDPB and nano-silver in primer on microcosm biofilm, cytotoxicity and dentin bond properties

February 1, 2013

Ke Zhang, Lei Cheng, Satoshi Imazato, Joseph M. Antonucci, Nancy Lin, Sheng Lin-Gibson, Yuxing Bai, Hockin H. Xu
Objectives: Secondary caries at restoration margins is the main reason for restoration failure. Antibacterial bonding agents are promising to inhibit biofilm acids at the tooth-restoration interfaces. The objective of this study was to investigate the

Frequency Dependent Charge Pumping -- A Defect Depth Profiling Tool?

Jason T. Ryan, Richard G. Southwick, Jason P. Campbell, Kin P. Cheung, John S. Suehle
We investigate the validity of using frequency-dependent charge pumping (FD-CP) to determine bulk defect depth distributions. Using simple physical arguments we conclude that: (1) the effective tunneling length to a bulk defect can be very different than

SERIES RESISTANCE: A MONITOR FOR HOT CARRIER STRESS

January 31, 2013
Author(s)
Jason P. Campbell, Serghei Drozdov, Kin P. Cheung, Richard G. Southwick, Jason T. Ryan, John S. Suehle, Anthony Oates
In this work, we examine a series resistance extraction technique which yields accurate values from single nano-scale devices. The series resistance values, derived from this extraction technique, are shown to be sensitive to hot carrier degradation and

Band Offset Determination of Atomic-Layer-Deposited Al2O3 and HfO2 on InP by Internal Photoemission and Spectroscopic Ellipsometry

January 9, 2013
Author(s)
Kun Xu, Oleg A. Kirillov, David J. Gundlach, Nhan V. Nguyen, Pei D. Ye, Min Xu, Lin Dong, Hong Sio
Band offsets at the interfaces of n- and p-type InP ((100) and (111)A) and atomic-layer-deposited (ALD) Al2O3 were measured with internal photoemission and spectroscopic ellipsometry. Similarly, the band offsets at the interface of semi-insulating InP (100
