Transmission and small angle scattering of 15 MeV electrons in silicon single crystals

Abstract

A novel technique for the study of structural damage incurred by single crystal silicon targets during ion implantation is described. The method is based upon copper-decoration of the vacancy rich damaged region, followed by radiochemical measurement of the resulting copper distribution. Utilizing neutron activation, sharply peaked radiocopper profiles are obtained, which are believed to represent the depth distributions of large, relatively immobile defects such as vacancy clusters, voids, or crystalline faults. A more efficient decoration of isolated vacancy-type defects is realized when Wu is employed as a radioisotopic tracer in the decoration step, however, the rapid diffusivity of these smaller species leads to less sharply defined radiocopper profiles. Both the neutron activation and radiotracer modifications of the technique yield damage profiles which are significantly shallower than the corresponding implanted impurity profiles.     

Reflection of keV heavy-ion beams from solid targets. Dependence on energy and angle of incidence

Recent experimental and theoretical studies of the reflection of keV heavy-ion beams have been extended to higher energies and to non-perpendicular incidence. The reflection coefficient for Na⁺ and K⁺ ions backscattered from polycrystalline gold and silver targets has been obtained for perpendicular incidence at energies of 100–500 keV. The dependence on angle of incidence has been investigated at 30 keV for the same combinations of targets and projectiles. Effects of electronic stopping have been included in the theoretical calculations. Good agreement between the experimental results and the theoretical calculations is found.     

TSC defect level in silicon produced by irradiation with muons of GeV-energy

Deep level transient spectroscopy has been used to observe the reduced concentrations of vacancy-related defects in γ-irradiated n-type Si containing hydrogen atoms. Data are presented on the efficiency and depth of this damage reduction as a function of the duration and temperature of the exposure to the plasma used to introduce the atomic hydrogen. A 3-hour exposure in an H plasma at 300°C prior to irradiation reduced the concentrations of the O-V, V-V and P-V centres by half or more to a depth of ～20 μm, compared to the control samples.

Humidity sensing properties of Cu2O-PEPC nanocomposite films

In this study, the blend of copper oxide nanopowder (Cu2O), 3 wt.% and poly-N-epoxypropylcarbazole (PEPC), 2 wt.% in benzol were drop-casted on glass substrates with pre-deposited surface-type silver electrodes for the fabrication of Cu2O-PEPC nanocomposite thin films. The thicknesses of the Cu2O-PEPC films were in the range of 10-13 μm. The effect of humidity on the electrical properties of the nanocomposite films was investigated by measurement of the capacitance and dissipation of the samples at two different frequencies of the applied voltage: 120 Hz and 1 kHz. The AC resistance of the samples was determined from values of dissipation. The DC resistance was measured directly. The effect of ageing on the humidity sensing properties of the nanocomposite was observed. After the ageing it was observed that at 120 Hz and 1 kHz, under humidity of up to 86% RH , the capacitance of the cell increased by 85 and 8 times and resistance decreased by 345 and 157 times, accordingly, with respect to 30% RH conditions. It was found that with increase of the frequency, the capacitance and resistance of the samples decreased. It is assumed that the humidity response of the cell is associated with diffusion of water vapors and doping of the semiconductor nanocomposite by water molecules.     

Multiple Keys for a Single Lock: The Unusual Structural Plasticity of the Nucleotidyltransferase (4′)/Kanamycin Complex

The most common mode of bacterial resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics is the enzyme‐catalysed chemical modification of the drug. Over the last two decades, significant efforts in medicinal chemistry have been focused on the design of non‐ inactivable antibiotics. Unfortunately, this strategy has met with limited success on account of the remarkably wide substrate specificity of aminoglycoside‐modifying enzymes. To understand the mechanisms behind substrate promiscuity, we have performed a comprehensive experimental and theoretical analysis of the molecular‐recognition processes that lead to antibiotic inactivation by Staphylococcus aureus nucleotidyltransferase 4′(ANT(4′)), a clinically relevant protein. According to our results, the ability of this enzyme to inactivate structurally diverse polycationic molecules relies on three specific features of the catalytic region. First, the dominant role of electrostatics in aminoglycoside recognition, in combination with the significant extension of the enzyme anionic regions, confers to the protein/antibiotic complex a highly dynamic character. The motion deduced for the bound antibiotic seem to be essential for the enzyme action and probably provide a mechanism to explore alternative drug inactivation modes. Second, the nucleotide recognition is exclusively mediated by the inorganic fragment. In fact, even inorganic triphosphate can be employed as a substrate. Third, ANT(4′) seems to be equipped with a duplicated basic catalyst that is able to promote drug inactivation through different reactive geometries. This particular combination of features explains the enzyme versatility and renders the design of non‐inactivable derivatives a challenging task.
