TERAHERTZ QUALITY CONTROL OF POLYMERIC PRODUCTS

We report on experiments that evaluate the potential of terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy (TDS) for quality control of polymeric compounds. We investigate specimens out of a polyethylene compound with silver-coated titanium dioxide nanospheres and a glass-fiber reinforced epoxy composite. We further examine an industrial polymer product produced by injection molding. Our data demonstrates that THz imaging is a powerful tool for contactless quality control in the polymer industry.     

Three-dimensional trajectory study of the I + HI → IH + I, H + I2 reactions

The quasiclassical trajectory calculation of the I + HI collision is performed in order to study the exchange and endothermic reaction channels. The rate constant of the exchange reaction I′ + HI → HI′ + I is found to be equal to 7.7 × 10¹¹ cm³/mol s at room temperature of 300 K. The study of the endothermic reaction I + HI → H + I₂ shows that it takes place only in configurations with large bend angles. Due to the non-collinear character of this reaction its threshold (2 eV) exceeds significantly the threshold of the minimal energy (collinear) reaction path (1.55 eV).     

Volume of Domains in Symmetric Spaces

The authors derive a formula for the volume of a compact domain in a symmetric space from normal sections through a special submanifold in the symmetric space.This formula generalizes the volume of classical domains as tubes or domains given as motions along the submanifold.Finally,some stereological considerations regarding this formula are provided.     

Effects of Post-Thermal Treatment on Quality of SiC Grown by PVT Method

We report the effects of post-thermal treatment on the quality of 2-inch 6H-SiC wafer cut from a crystal boule grown by physical vapour transportation method. The full widths at half maximum of x-ray diffraction rocking curves measured on sites across the 2-inch wafer become narrower, indicating the quality improvement after a three-step post-thermal treatment. It is found that the most common defects such as micropipes and inclusions can be significantly reduced after the treatment. Our results show that the post-thermal treatment is an effective route to improve the quality of SiC single crystals.     

Analysis of the characteristics of a two-fiber sensor for monitorship of a turbid medium

Summary Certain characteristics of a two-fiber sensor device, of the type proposed by Papaet al. for sea water turbidity monitorship, are examined. The extension of medium from which most of the received backscattered power originates is investigated, together with possible effects of multiple scattering on the received power. Laboratory measurements testing the results of the analysis are reported.

Modulation Frequency Multiplexed Tunable Diode Laser Spectroscopy System for Simultaneous CO, CO2 Measurements

A modulation frequency multiplexed dual diode-laser system is developed for simultaneous detection of the two most common fire gas products CO and CO2. Simultaneous detection is achieved by modulating each laser at different frequencies, demodulating the signal by a pair of lock-in amplifiers for each gas. Laser beams are combined and detected by one detector after passing through an identical optical path. The experimental results show little performance degradation associated with modulation frequency multiplexing, and no cross-talk between the two multiplexed detection channels is measured.

As the ITER first wall Be/CuCrZr hot isostatic pressing (HIP) bonding intermediate transition layer, Ti/Cu layer can form a multi-layer intermediate metal phase, and defects such as cracks occur between the Ti/Cu metal phases. CuCrZr was used instead of Be, and a number of CuCrZr/Ti/Cu/CuCrZr joints were fabricated by the same HIP process as Be/CuCrZr to analyze the Ti/Cu joints. The effects of stress relief annealing on joint strength and defect distribution of the joints unannealed, annealed at 400°C and 500°C respectively were studied. The results show that three layers of Ti/Cu diffusion layers are formed on both sides of the intermediate titanium layer, namely Cu₄Ti, CuTi and CuTi₂. The thickness of Cu₄Ti on the pure copper side is thicker than that on the CuCrZr side, so that the crack is almost entirely distributed at the junction of Cu₄Ti and CuTi on the pure copper side where brittle fracture is easy to occur in the tensile samples. As the annealing temperature increases, the generation and propagation of cracks decreases.
