Residual stress/strain analysis in thin films by X-ray diffraction

Residual stresses are found in the majority of multilayer thin film structures used in modem technology. The measurement and modeling of such stress fields and the elucidation of their effects on structural reliability and device operation have been a “growth area” in the literature, with contributions from authors in various scientific and engineering disciplines.

In this article the measurement of the residual stresses in thin film structures with X-ray diffraction techniques is reviewed and the interpretation of such data and their relationship to mechanical reliability concerns are discussed.     

Bounded projections and duality on spaces of holomorphic functions in the unit ball ofℂ n

In this paper three Banach spacesA ₀(),A andA ¹() of functions holomorphic in the unit ballB of ⁿ are defined. We exhibit bounded projections fromC ₀(B) ontoA ₀(), fromL ¹(B) ontoA ¹(), and fromL(B) ontoA(). Using these projections, we show thatA ₀()* A ¹() andA ¹()* A().Supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

The effects of media properties on the horseradish peroxidase-catalyzed fluorogenic reaction

The effects of media properties including buffers, acidity, solvents and surfactant on horseradish peroxidase-catalyzed fluorogenic reaction were investigated. The results showed that the so-called non-fluorescent hydrogen donors were in fact fluorescent. There existed an acid—base equilibrium in the fluorescent dimer product. For p -hydroxyphenylpropionic acid, a pK_a value of 8.0 for the product was obtained from its titration curve. The product fluorescence increased with higher pH, however, a longer time was needed to reach the reaction equilibrium due to the pH mismatch problem. Cationic micelles cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride could reduce the pH mismatch and offered a way to further increase the determination sensitivity. Finally, a micelle-enhanced flow-injection analysis of horseradish peroxidase is suggested.
