Couches minces d'oxynitrure de titane : la réactivité comme moyen original de caractérisation physico - chimique
2002
Titanium oxinitride thin films, TiNxOy, were elaborated on Si(100) by the MOCVD (Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition) method, using titanium isopropoxide Ti(OCH(CH3)2)4 and ammonia NH3 as precursors. By varying the growth temperature, it is possible to modify the N/O ratio and change the conductivity of the films.The target of this work was to determine the composition and the structure of these TiNxOy thin films in order to understand the electrical properties. However, this study was difficult because classical characterization techniques (SEM, XRD, Raman, XPS...) were unable to describe the whole TiNxOy system. Indeed, only a structure which is isomorphic to TiN (NaCl structure) was …
Returns To Education During And After The Economic Crisis: Evidence From Latvia 2006–2012
2017
We employ EU-SILC micro data for Latvia to study how returns to education changed during the economic crisis of 2008–2009 and afterwards. We found that returns to education increased significantly during the crisis and decreased slightly during the subsequent economic recovery. The counter-cyclical effect was evident in nearly all population groups. After the crisis, education became more associated than before with a longer working week and a higher employment probability. Furthermore, we show that returns to education in Latvia are generally higher in the capital city and its suburbs than outside the capital city region, as well as for citizens of Latvia than for resident non-citizens and…
