Behavior and process of background signal formation of hydrogen,carbon, nitrogen,and oxygen in silicon wafers during depth profiling using dual-beam TOF-SIMS

The behavior and mechanism of background signals during depth profiling of atmospheric elements using dual-beam time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) have been experimentally investigated for silicon wafers. The background signals of atmospheric elements were found to be inversely proportional to the sputtering rate. Most of the background signals are largely attributable to the accumulation of components through adsorption and ion bombardment in the pre-equilibrium state. On the other hand, the contribution of real-time adsorption during the instant after the last sputtering in the equilibrium state is negligible under the present experimental conditions. H₂O is dominant in the background formation process of hydrogen and oxygen, which is supported by the higher adsorption coefficients. The background levels of carbon and nitrogen are lower than those of hydrogen and oxygen. Furthermore, the background signal of carbon with respect to the sputtering rate shows a different trend than the other elements. This could be attributed to accumulation in the pre-equilibrium state. These results indicate that the background levels can be lowered close to those of dynamic-SIMS by using an extremely high sputtering rate in dual-beam TOF-SIMS.     

皮肤组织容积脉搏波400~1000 nm光谱特性仿真研究

根据皮肤组织解剖结构特性建立了六层层状模型,并给出了皮肤组织各层的特性参数;考虑了氧合血红蛋白和还原血红蛋白的吸收特性,依据皮肤组织各层的水、血、脂肪、血氧饱和度含量以及血管大小给出了皮肤组织各层的光谱吸收系数;对不同波长散射系数做了适当简化,给出了皮肤组织各层的光谱散射系数。利用蒙特卡罗方法仿真血管组织在收缩与舒张两种状态下, 400~1 000 nm波长光在皮肤组织多层模型中的传输过程,并通过统计大量光子的分布特性,获得了皮肤组织光谱反射系数,并利用模拟所得的两种状态下的反射系数计算得到了光谱容积脉搏波幅度。仿真结果表明,当入射光强一定时,绿光的容积脉搏波幅度优于红光和蓝光。通过计算不同波长光沿皮肤组织深度方向光能流率衰减为1/e时对应的皮肤组织深度,获得了皮肤组织光谱穿透深度。结果显示,血管舒张状态下蓝光和绿光的穿透深度较小,蓝光大部分只能达到表皮层,绿光能到达微循环层,红光可直达真皮层。考虑到光在皮肤组织中传播包含了一个从收缩到舒张的动态过程,基于此,根据穿透深度定义了脉搏波信号产生深度,利用血管舒张与收缩两种不同状态下的穿透深度计算得到了光谱产生深度。结果表明,不同波长光产生深度大于其穿透深度,蓝光产生深度较浅,且其受到的血液吸收调制较小,因而其获得的脉搏信号易受噪声干扰;红光的容积脉搏波产生深度较大,但是相比于绿光其受血液吸收调制较小,且绿光产生深度足够达到真皮血管层,因而红光容积脉搏波的幅度小于绿光。上述仿真结果明确了皮肤组织部分光谱特性,为皮肤组织多光谱容积脉搏波的精确获取及其他相关研究提供了一定的理论基础。

Study of water uptake in poly(ether ether ketone) irradiated by MeV O+ and Au+ ions

Poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) was irradiated with 4?MeV O⁺ and 5 and 10?MeV Au⁺ ions to the fluences from 10¹² to 10^14?cm^?2 and then treated in 5 M/l water solution of LiCl for one month at room temperature. After drying and removal of LiCl surface contamination, the depth distribution of LiCl embeded in PEEK was measured by the neutron depth profilig method (NDP) sensitive to ⁶Li isotope. Embeded LiCl is believed to map distribution of water diffusing into PEEK interior. The results show that the PEEK irradiated to the fluences above 1.10¹³cm^?2 is prone to water penetration to the depths of few microns. On the pristine PEEK and that irradiated to lower ion fluences only a surface Li contamination is observed.

FT-IR surface analysis of poly [(4-hydroxybenzoic)-ran-(2-hydroxy-6-naphthoic acid)] fiber – A short review

Instrumental techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) constitute well-studied methodologies for polymer characterization, including polymeric fibers. However, a relatively short number of scientific publications involve the characterization of commercial Poly [(4-hydroxybenzoic)-ran-(2-hydroxy-6-naphthoic acid)] (Vectran™) fiber and its surface species. The majority of the published infrared studies uses the medium infrared region (MIR) associated to the Attenuated total reflection (ATR) method. In this scenario, this short review addresses the characteristics of Vectran™ fiber, sample depth data of each FT-IR spectrum mode, reflection and photo-acoustic spectroscopy (PAS), including near infrared (NIR) analysis. This paper addresses also researches on the characterization of Vectran™ by several FT-IR analysis conditions aiming to contribute to future studies. This brief review deals with methodologies developed in the last decade and published by several scientific research groups, emphasizing studies conducted in the last five years. A critical assessment and trends are also included.

Activation-induced layered structure in NiCoAl by atomic modulation for energy storage application

The surface activation of alloys favors their electrochemical interactions, ion diffusivity, and the rapid kinetics of ions and electrons, leading to the formation of self-supported layered double hydroxides (LDHs) in them. However, the formation of LDHs at different depths in the alloy upon activation, their electronic/atomic structures, and their electrochemical charge storage mechanism, have not been thoroughly explored. Herein, Ni ion-substituted CoAl alloys are prepared by arc melting and activated by KOH electrolyte, which is responsible for the modulation of the atomic configuration as confirmed by XRD. Raman depth mapping demonstrates how the LDHs vary with depth upon activation and that the octahedral and tetrahedral symmetry sites of CoO and Co₃O₄ are responsible for the formation of the layered structures of CoOOH and Co(OH)₂, respectively. The activated Ni₁₀Co₈₅Al₅ has a superior volumetric capacitance of 4.15 F/cm³ at 0.5 mA/g, which is 38.6 times that of an unactivated one, and excellent cyclic stability up to 5000 cycles, and a voltage of 0.54 V generated from a fabricated supercapacitor cell. X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) analysis indicates greater charge transfer by Co than by Ni and the modulation of the local atomic structures facilitates electrochemical charge storage in Ni₁₀Co₈₅Al₅. This work presents an easy route for the development of advanced LDHs, and the mechanism of electrochemical charge storage in them.
