Electroless gold deposition on silicon(100) wafer based on a seed layer of silver

This article describes a method of electroless gold deposition on a Si(100) wafer having a silver surface as seed layer. The seed layer was firstly deposited onto the surface of an etched wafer in an acidic solution of 0.005 mol/L AgNO₃+0.06 mol/LHF. The electroless gold deposition is performed by immersing the Ag-activated wafer in an electroless bath with a composition of 1.27×10^-3 mol/L[AuCl₄]^-+2.00×10^-2 mol/LNaH₂PO₂+8.32×10^-2 mol/L NH₂CH₂CH₂NH₂ (pH = 9.0–9.5). The bath temperature is 50–70 °C. The morphology of the seed layer and the gold film were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).PACS 82.45.Mp; 81.15.Pq; 81.10.Dn

TiN/Al2O3纳米多层膜的共格外延生长及超硬效应

采用多靶磁控溅射法制备了一系列具有不同Al2O3调制层厚度的TiN/Al2O3纳米多层膜.利用X射线能量色散谱、X射线衍射、扫描电子显微镜、高分辨透射电子显微镜和微力学探针表征了多层膜的成分、微结构和力学性能.研究结果表明,在TiN/Al2O3纳米多层膜中,单层膜时以非晶态存在的Al2O3层在厚度小于1.5 nm时因TiN晶体层的模板效应而晶化,并与TiN层形成共格外延生长,相应地,多层膜产生硬度明显升高的超硬效应,最高硬度可达37.9 GPa.进一步增加多层膜中Al2O3调制层的层厚度,Al2O3层逐渐形成非晶结构并破坏了多层膜的共格外延生长,使得多层膜的硬度逐步降低.     

An improved partial SPIHT with classified weighted rate-distortion optimization for interferential multispectral image compression

Based on the property analysis of interferential multispectral images, a novel compression algorithm of partial set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) with classified weighted rate-distortion optimization is presented.After wavelet decomposition, partial SPIHT is applied to each zero tree independently by adaptively selecting one of three coding modes according to the probability of the significant coefficients in each bitplane.Meanwhile the interferential multispectral image is partitioned into two kinds of regions in terms of luminous intensity, and the rate-distortion slopes of zero trees are then lifted with classified weights according to their distortion contribution to the constructed spectrum.Finally a global ratedistortion optimization truncation is performed.Compared with the conventional methods, the proposed algorithm not only improves the performance in spatial domain but also reduces the distortion in spectral domain.     

Application of nanodiamonds in human body fluid analysis by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry

In this paper, nanodiamonds have been successfully used in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometric analysis of human serum and urine. As a practical tool and platform, it can be widely used in the field of humoral proteomics, and it plays a very promising role in clinical diagnosis, including identification of novel disease-associated biomarkers.     

The growth temperatures dependence of optical and electrical properties of InN films

InN films grown on sapphire at different substrate temperatures from 550°C to 700°C by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition were investigated. The low-temperature GaN nucleation layer with high-temperature annealing (1100°C) was used as a buffer for main InN layer growth. X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering measurements reveal that the quality of InN films can be improved by increasing the growth temperature to 600°C. Further high substrate temperatures may promote the thermal decomposition of InN films and result in poor crystallinity and surface morphology. The photoluminescence and Hall measurements were employed to characterize the optical and electrical properties of InN films, which also indicates strong growth temperature dependence. The InN films grown at temperature of 600°C show not only a high mobility with low carrier concentration, but also a strong infrared emission band located around 0.7 eV. For a 600 nm thick InN film grown at 600°C, the Hall mobility achieves up to 938 cm²/Vs with electron concentration of 3.9 × 10¹⁸ cm⁻³.

Magnetic characterization of dual phase FeZrB soft magnetic alloy

The magnetic properties and the annealing process of Fe₇₈Zr₇B₁₅ amorphous ribbons are investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The fully amorphous structure of the as-quenched ribbons is confirmed by the XRD pattern. The Curie temperature and the saturation magnetization M_s of the ribbons are 305 °C and 124.3 emu/g, respectively. Annealing at 550 °C can result in an increase in M_s with annealing time due to the increasing crystallized volume fraction of α-Fe phase. The optimized annealing process is established at 550 °C for 20-30 min with maximum M_s of 146.6 emu/g. The morphology of the ribbons annealed at 550 °C is observed by scanning electron microscopy, showing that nanocrystalline α-Fe grains are dispersed in an amorphous matrix.     

Composition, microstructure, and properties of CrNx films deposited using medium frequency magnetron sputtering

CrN_x films were deposited on stainless steel and Si (1 1 1) substrates via medium frequency magnetron sputtering in a N₂ + Ar mixed atmosphere. The influence of N₂ content on the deposition rate, composition, microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties of the as-deposited films was investigated by means of the X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), nanoindentation and tribometer testing. It was found that the N atomic concentration increased and the phase transformed from a mixture of Cr₂N + Cr(N) to single-phase Cr₂N, and then Cr₂N + CrN to pure CrN phase with the increase of N₂ content. The Cr 2p_3/2 and N 1s of XPS spectra also confirmed the evolution of phase. Accordingly, all films exhibited a typical columnar structure which lies in the zone T of Thornton Model. The mixed Cr₂N and Cr(N) phases showed low hardness and high friction coefficient. Cr₂N possessed higher hardness than CrN while CrN exhibited lower friction coefficient.     

Melting properties of two-dimensional multi-species colloidal systems in a parabolic trap

The angular and radial melting properties of two-dimensional classical systems consisting of different types of particles confined in a parabolic trap are studied through modified Monte Carlo simulations. A universal behavior of the angular melting process is found, which occurs in multiple steps due to shell depended melting temperatures. The melting sequence of the different shells is determined by two major factors: (1) the confinement strength which each shell is subjected to, and (2) the specific structure of each shell. Further, a continuous radial disordering of the particle types forming a single circular shell is found and analyzed. This phenomenon has never been observed before in two-dimensional mono-dispersive systems. This continuous radial disordering results from the high energy barrier between different particle types in multi-species systems.
