Photothermal determination of vertical crack lengths in silicon nitride

In this paper we describe the use of thermal microscopes in measuring the lengths of vertical cracks in silicon nitride. Results of theoretical calculations for temperature profiles in samples near the end of the cracks are demonstrated. These calculations showed that the effect of the crack decreases to a non-measurable level at distances of about 10 m from the end of the crack. Experimental measurements showed that thermally obtained crack lengths were at least 34% longer than those that were optically measured. The obtained crack length was independent of the heat modulation frequency used.     

Bloch-Messiah theorem at finite temperature

The Bloch-Messiah theorem is extended to the thermal Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (THFB) theory by making use of the thermo field dynamics. This enables us to define the correct order parameter describing the superconducting phase at finite temperature, and demonstrates consistency of the THFB formalism.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. H.J.

Ab initio studies of the protonation of CO,N2 and NO+: Calculation of the minimum energy reaction paths

Ab initio molecular orbital calculations employing a 4-31G basis set have been used to study the minimum energy paths for the formation of HCO⁺, COH⁺, and HCOH²⁺ from CO by protonation. The protonation of N₂ to give NNH⁺ and HNNH²⁺ and of NO⁺ to form HNO²⁺ and NOH²⁺ have also been investigated. All species formed have linear equilibrium geometries and the minimum energy path for approach of the proton is along the line-of-centers of the heavy atoms. Energy barriers to the formation of the various species are given, where appropriate, and changes in geometry, ordering of molecular orbitals and orbital occupancy are discussed.     

Relation between Hall-magnetohydrodynamics and the kinetic Alfvén wave

Effects of a finite ion temperature on the Hall magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), which breaks down for a finite ion temperature, are clarified in terms of a rigorous three-field kinetic dispersion relation. The MHD mode equation becomes anisotropic with respect to the ion pressure because of the double adiabaticity in ion dynamics.     

A first experimental approach to the 15O + α elastic scattering

The ¹⁵O(α,α)¹⁵O elastic scattering is investigated using a ¹⁵O radioactive beam and a He gas cell limited by Mylar windows. The width of a ¹⁹Ne state at an excitation energy of 5.35MeV is measured as Γ_α = 3.2±1.6keV, in agreement with charge symmetry estimate.     

Determination of the Gamow–Teller strength function for the neutron-deficient isotopes In

The Gamow–Teller β decays of the neutron-deficient indium isotopes ^104–107In have been investigated by using total absorption γ-ray spectrometry on mass-separated sources. The experimental Gamow–Teller strength, deduced as a function of the excitation energy in the daughter nuclei ^104–107Cd, is compared to shell-model predictions.     

The effects of hydrogen plasma pretreatment on the formation of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes

The effects of H₂ plasma pretreatment on the growth of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by varying the flow rate of the precursor gas mixture during microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) have been investigated in this study. Gas mixture of H₂ and CH₄ with a ratio of 9:1 was used as the precursor for synthesizing CNTs on Ni-coated TiN/Si(1 0 0) substrates. The structure and composition of Ni catalyst nanoparticles were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM). Results indicated that, by manipulating the morphology and density of the Ni catalyst nanoparticles via changing the flow rate of the precursor gas mixture, the vertically aligned CNTs could be effectively controlled. The Raman results also indicated that the intensity ratio of the G and D bands (I_D/I_G) is decreased with increasing gas flow rate. TEM results suggest H₂ plasma pretreatment can effectively reduce the amorphous carbon and carbonaceous particles and, thus, is playing a crucial role in modifying the obtained CNTs structures.     

$${f(\mathcal R)}$$ quantum cosmology

We have quantized a flat cosmological model in the context of the metric models, using the causal Bohmian quantum theory. The equations are solved and then we have obtained how the quantum corrections influence the classical equations.
