CADEM: calculate X-ray diffraction of epitaxial multilayers

2017

This article presents a powerful yet simple program, based on the general one-dimensional kinematic X-ray diffraction (XRD) theory, which calculates the XRD patterns of tailor-made multilayers and thus enables quantitative comparison of measured and calculated XRD data. As the multilayers are constructed layer by layer, the final material stack can be entirely arbitrary.

Heterovalent ion replacement in bi7Ti4NbO21: Some new compounds and phase transitions

1996

Abstract Simultaneous heterovalent substitutions at two cationic sites of the bismuth mixed-layered compound Bi7Ti4NbO21 have been made. Two new compounds: Bi2Pb⅓Ti(4/3)Mo⅓O7 and Bi(4/3)PbTiMo⅔O7, were obtained and identified by X-ray diffraction analysis. A model of possible mixed layer structure is discussed. Ferroelectric phase transitions at 510°C and 550°C have been studied by dielectric measurements.

Optimization of impurity profile for p-n junction in heterostructures

2005

We analyze the dopant diffusion in p-n-junction in heterostructure, by solving the diffusion equation with space-varying diffusion coefficient. For a step-wise spatial distribution we find the optimum annealing time to decrease the p-n-junction thickness and to increase the homogeneity of impurity concentration in p or n regions.

On the scavenging of SO2 by large and small rain drops: V. A wind tunnel and theoretical study of the desorption of SO2 from water drops containing S…

1993

An experimental and theoretical study has been carried out to investigate the rate of desorption of SO2 from water drops falling at terminal velocity in air. The experiments were carried out in the Mainz vertical wind tunnel in which water drops of various sizes containing S(IV) in various concentrations were freely suspended in the vertical airstream of the tunnel. The results of these experiments were compared with the predictions of three theoretical models, and with the experiments of Walceket al. This comparison shows that the predictions of the diffusion model of Kronig and Brink in the formulation given by Walcek and Pruppacher agree well with the experimental results for all relevan…

On the moving loads problem in discontinuous homogeneous beams and layered beams with interlayer slip

This manuscript contains the main part of my research performed in this last triennium at the Department of Civil, Environmental, Aerospace and Materials Engineering, University of Palermo, and at the Department of Basic Sciences in Engineering Sciences (Unit of Applied Mechanics), University of Innsbruck, Austria. The research adheres to a common procedure of solving a scientistic problem. That is, introduction to the problem, selection of the mathematical and physical tools to model the problem, proposed solution, and numerical validation. The thesis proposes a novel modal superposition approach to the moving loads problem on discontinuous homogeneous beam and layered beam with interlayer…

Preliminary results on the electrostatic double-layer force between two surfaces with high surface potentials

1998

Abstract The aim of this study is to measure interaction forces between surfaces with high electric potentials in aqueous electrolyte solutions. Therefore the force between a gold sample and a gold sphere attached to the end of an atomic force microscope cantilever was measured. Gold sample and sphere were electrically connected and served as the working electrode. A potential was applied via a platinized platinum electrode. Experimental results are compared to forces approximated with the Poisson-Boltzmann theory.

The nanoscale structure of the Pt-water double layer under bias revealed

2019

The nanoscopic mass and charge distribution within the double layer at electrified interfaces plays a key role in electrochemical phenomena of huge technological relevance for energy production and conversion. However, in spite of its importance, the nanoscopic structure of the double layer and its response to an applied potential is still almost entirely unknown, even for Pt-water, the most fundamental electrochemical interface. Using a general ab initio methodology which advances previous models towards a dynamic and more realistic description of an electrode/electrolyte interface, we simulate for the first time the nanoscopic structure of the Pt-water double layer and its response to an …

Non-Monotonic Concentration Dependence of the Electro-Phoretic Mobility of Charged Spheres in Realistic Salt Free Suspensions

2020

Using super-heterodyne Doppler velocimetry with multiple scattering correction, we extend the opti-cally accessible range of concentrations in experiments on colloidal electro-kinetics. We here meas-ured the electro-phoretic mobility and the DC conductivity of aqueous charged sphere suspensions covering about three orders of magnitude in particle concentrations and transmissions as low as 40%. The extended concentration range for the first time allows the demonstration of a non-monotonic con-centration dependence of the mobility for a single particle species. Our observations reconcile previ-ous experimental observations made on other species over restricted concentration ranges. We com-par…
