Experimental investigation of discharge characteristics in enhanced glow discharge plasma immersion ion implantation

In enhanced glow discharge plasma immersion ion implantation (EGD-PIII) that involves a small pointed anode and large area tabular cathode, the high negative substrate bias not only acts as the plasma producer but also supplies the implantation voltage. Consequently, an electric field is created to focus the electrons and the electron focusing field in turn enhances the glow discharge process. In this work, the discharge characteristics of EGD-PIII are investigated experimentally. The discharge initiation and extinction characteristics during pulsed biasing are discussed. The duration of the post pulse-off plasma is explained from the viewpoint of particle motion and experimentally verified by employing an auxiliary disk. Our experiments show that a dual-pulse method may be utilized to determine the remnant plasma.     

Entropy of the Binomial Field Interacting with the Two Entangled Atoms

In this paper, we investigate entropy properties of the single-mode binomial field interacting with the two entangled two-level atoms. It is found that the different initial conditions lead to the different evolutions of entropy of the binomial field.

Determination of Fatty Acid Methyl Esters in Biodiesel Produced from Yellow Horn Oil by LC

A simple and accurate HPLC method with refractive index detection was developed to determine the main fatty acid methyl esters in biodiesel produced from yellow horn oil. Methyl linoleate, methyl linolenate, methyl arachidate, methyl stearate, methyl palmitate and methyl oleate were separated on a HIQ SIL C18W column using methanol as mobile phase. The method has good repeatability and precision, the intraday and interday RSD for both retention time and peak area was less than 3.2%. The LOD (S/N = 3) and LOQ (S/N = 9) were less than 0.004 and 0.015 mg mL⁻¹, respectively.     

High-frequency performance of metamorphic InP/In0.53Ga0.47As/InP DHBT in common base configuration on GaAs substrates

In this work, we report the detailed high-frequency noise and power characterization of metamorphic InP double heterojunction bipolar transistors in common base configuration. The noise and power performances were investigated for 5×10 μm² device. A minimum noise figure of 2.3 dB with an associated gain of 14.5 dB at 2 GHz, and a maximum output power of 13.0 dBm with a power added efficiency of 47.8% at 2.4 GHz were obtained.     

Conjugated polymers containing electron‐transporting,hole‐transporting,and light‐emitting units in the polymer main chain

Conjugated polymers containing electron‐transporting, hole‐transporting, and blue light‐emitting units were synthesized by Suzuki polycondensation. These copolymers exhibited excellent thermal and optical stability. Optical investigation indicated that the incorporation of the spirobifluorene units in the polymer main chain could markedly increase the effective conjugation length of polymers. Electrochemical studies showed that the incorporation of spirobifluorene unit could raise the electrochemical stability and improve the electron‐ and hole‐injecting abilities. The electroluminescent results also showed that the introducing of spirobifluorene units could significantly improve the device performance. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Branched polymer via free radical polymerization of chain transfer monomer: A theoretical and experimental investigation

A simple mathematic model for the free radical polymerization of chain transfer monomers containing both polymerizable vinyl groups and telogen groups was proposed. The molecular architecture of the obtained polymer can be prognosticated according to the developed model, which was validated experimentally by homopolymerization of 4‐vinyl benzyl thiol (VBT) and its copolymerization with styrene. The chain transfer constant (C_T) of telogen group in a chain transfer monomer is considered to play an important role to determine the architecture of obtained polymer according to the proposed model, either in homopolymerization or copolymerization. A highly branched polymer will be formed when the C_T value is around unity, while a linear polymer with a certain extent of side chains will be obtained when the C_T value is much bigger or smaller than unity. The C_T of VBT was determined to be around 15 by using the developed model and ¹H NMR monitored experiments. The obtained poly(VBT) and its copolymers were substantiated to be mainly consisted of linear main chain with side branching chains, which is in agreement with the anticipation from the developed model. The glass transition temperature, number average molecular weight, and its distribution of those obtained polymer were primarily investigated. This model is hopefully to be used as a strategy to select appropriate chain transfer monomers for preparing hyperbranched polymers. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
