Surface Energy Anisotropy of SrTiO 3 at 1400 C in Air

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
T Sano, D M. Saylor, G S. Rohrer
Geometric and crystallographic measurements of grain boundary thermal grooves and surface faceting behavior as a function of orientation have been used to determine the surface energy anisotropy of SrTiO 3 at 1400 C in air. Under these conditions, thermal

Surface Morphology Dependent Magnetic Thin Film Growth: Fe on GaN(0001)

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
P Ryan, R A. Rosenberg, D J. Keavney, J W. Freeland, Joseph Woicik
Iron deposition on ordered and disordered GaN (0001) surfaces result in dramatically different magnetic over-layer characteristics. On the ordered surface, nitrogen rapidly desorbs upon Fe deposition and a magnetically disordered film is produced

Synchrotron Based Surface Science to Probe Polymeric Interfacial Regions

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Joseph~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined Lenhart, Daniel A. Fischer
Synchrotron based X-ray absorption spectroscopy was utilized to probe the chemistry and structure of polymers in interfacial regions, including the interfacial regions, including the interfacial composition of filled epoxy composites, and the surface

Tailoring the High-K Gate Dielectric/Sillicon Interface for CMOS Applications

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Y S. Lin, R Puthenkovilakam, J P. Chang, C P. Bouldin, Igor Levin, Nhan Van Nguyen, Y Sun, P Pianetta, T Conard, W Vandervorst, V Venturo, S Selbrede
The interfacial properties, thermal stabilities, and the electrical characteristics of ZrO 2/ Si and ZrO 2/SiO 2/Si were investigated and the interfacial layer of as-deposited ZrO 2 on silicon is likely to be ZrSi xO y. The ZrO 2/ZrSi xO y/Si is

The Crystal Chemistry of L-Ta 2 O 5 and Related Structures

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
I E. Grey, W G. Mumme, Robert S. Roth
Single crystals of a new form of L-Ta2O5 with a 19 x b superstructure have been synthesised by flux growth. The phase has C-centred monoclinic symmetry with a = 6.199(1) , b = 69.55(1) (= 19 x 3.66 ), c = 3.880 (1) . The structure was refined in space

The Nanostructure Problem

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Simon J. Billinge, Igor Levin
The powerful methods we have for solving the atomic structure of bulk crystals fail for nanostructured materials and there are currently no broadly applicable, quantitative and robust methods to replace them. The solution of this nanostructure problem is

Theory of Strain Percolation in Metals

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
R Thomson, Lyle E. Levine
We demonstrate that a deforming metal is a self organizing critical system, and that the stress-strain law can be expressed as an integration of certain derivatives of internal variables along the critical line of the system.
