Evaluation of Thermal Degradation Induced Material Damage Using Nonlinear Lamb Waves

We report on the evaluation of thermal degradation damage in metal material using the nonlinear effect of Lamb wave propagation. A mountain-shape＇＇ change in the second harmonic of Lamb wave propagation versus the level of thermal degradation in the specimens is observed. It is attributed to the precipitations in the early stage and the microvoids after long-term service in terms of metallographic studies. The results show that the nonlinear Lamb wave is very sensitive to the microstructure evolution and is a good potential for quantitative evaluation of the thermal damaged materials.     

Characteristics of Sn-Doped Ge2Sb2Te5 Films Used for Phase-Change Memory

Sn-doped Ge2Sb2Te5 thin films deposited on Si（100）/SiO2 substrates by rf magnetron sputtering are investigated by a differential scanning calorimeter, x-ray diffraction and sheet resistance measurement. The crystallization temperatures of the 3.58 at.%, 6.92 at.% and 10.04 at.% Sn-doped Ge2Sb2Te5 thin films have decreases of 5.3, 6.1 and 0.9℃, respectively, which is beneficial to reduce the switching current for the amorphous-to-crystalline phase transition. Due to Sn-doping, the sheet resistance of crystalline Ge2Sb2Te5 thin films increases about 2-10 times, which may be useful to reduce the switching current for the amorphous-to-crystalline phase change. In addition, an obvious decreasing dispersibility for the sheet resistance of Sn-doped Ge2Sb2Te5 thin films in the crystalline state has been observed, which can play an important role in minimizing resistance difference for the phase-change memory cell element arrays.

光纤模式混合器在差分吸收光谱系统中的应用研究

差分吸收光谱技术(DOAS)已经发展为监测对流层痕量气体的重要技术，一般采用光电倍增管(PMT)作为探测器.由于光电二极管阵列(PDA)在多道探测及像元灵敏性方面的优势，采用PDA代替扫描探测装置将能改善系统剩余噪声，提高系统性能.但实际应用中由于使用收发一体Cassegrain望远镜造成灯谱与大气谱结构不统一，在消除PDA像元间差异的过程中给系统带来误差，从而导致剩余噪声的标准偏差达到1.4×10^-3.根据光纤扰模原理在系统中加入自制光纤模式混合器很好的解决了上述难题，在实际应用中起到良好的作用，系统剩余噪声的标准偏差为3.4×10^-4. 关键词： 差分吸收光谱 扰模 模式混合器 剩余噪声     

A Simple Model for Measuring Refractive Index of a Liquid Based upon Fresnel Equations

Due to many experimental data required and a lot of calculations involved, it is very complex and cumbersome to model prism-based liquid-refractive-index-measuring methods. We develop a new method of mathematical modelling for measuring refractive index of a liquid based upon the Fresnel formula and prism internal reflection at an incident angle less than the critical angle. With this method, only two different concentrations measurements for a kind of solution can lead to the determination of computational model. Measurements are performed to examine the validity of the theoretical model. Experimental results indicate the feasibility of the theoretical model with an error of 1%. The method is also capable of measuring even smaller changes in the optical refractive index of the material on a metal surface by the surface plasma resonance sensing techniques.     

Development of the Technique for Fabricating Submicron Moire Gratings on Metal Materials Using Focused Ion Beam Milling

A focused gallium ion （Ga＋） beam is used to fabricate micro/submicron spacing gratings on the surface of porous NiTi shape memory alloy （SMA ）. The crossing type of gratings with double-frequency （25001/mm and 50001/mm） using the focused ion beam （FIB） milling are successfully produced in a combination mode or superposition mode. Based on the double-frequency gratings, high-quality scanning electron microscopy （SEM） Moird patterns are obtained to study the micro-scale deformation of porous NiTi SMA. The grating fabrication technique is discussed in detail. The experimental results verify the feasibility of fabricating high frequency grating on metal surface using FIB milling.
