Photoluminescence (PL) spectra, intensities, and image brightness of 0.1–6.0 at% Cr-doped ruby were investigated across temperatures ranging from 24° to 600 °C. PL emissions at λ = 670, 694, 707, and 715 nm were observed in rubies doped with 0.1–1.0 at% Cr. In rubies with higher doping levels of 1.5–6.0 at% Cr, an additional PL emission at λ = 770 nm was detected. PL intensities at λ = 694, 707, 715, and 770 nm decreased with increasing temperatures from 24° to 600 °C, while the PL intensity at λ = 670 nm showed a similar temperature-dependent decrease. The variation in PL image brightness with temperature, particularly the increase observed from 24° to 200 °C, is predominantly influenced by the PL intensity variations at λ = 670 nm. Decay curves and fluorescence lifetimes of PL from ruby with various Cr concentrations were also evaluated at temperatures RT-200 °C.

Understanding the single event effects (SEE) sensitivity of microelectronic devices and circuits is essential for long-term mission success in ionizing radiation environments. SEEs occur when a single ionizing particle strikes a device with enough energy to cause anomalous malfunction or even a catastrophic failure event. It is conventionally viewed as an electrical phenomenon, whereas this study investigates the possible role of multi-physics. Specifically, we show that localized mechanical stress in electronic devices significantly impacts the degree of SEE sensitivity. We present a technique that indirectly maps both electrical and mechanical field localization to spatially map SEE sensitivity without any need for radiation test sources. It is demonstrated on the operational amplifier LM124 under both pristine and stressed conditions. To validate our hypothesis, our experimental results are compared with those obtained from the well-established pulsed laser SEE technique. Excellent agreement between these results supports our hypothesis that SEE susceptibility may have fundamental roots in both electrical and mechanical fields. Therefore, the ability to map the localizations in these fields may indirectly map the SEE sensitivity of large area electronics, which is very expensive in time and resources.
了解微电子器件和电路的单次事件效应（SEE）灵敏度对于在电离辐射环境中长期成功执行任务至关重要。当单个电离粒子以足够的能量撞击设备，导致异常故障甚至灾难性故障事件时，就会发生 SEE。传统观点认为这是一种电学现象，而本研究则探讨了多物理场的可能作用。具体来说，我们表明电子设备中的局部机械应力会显著影响 SEE 敏感度。我们提出了一种间接映射电场和机械场定位的技术，以空间映射 SEE 灵敏度，而无需辐射测试源。我们在运算放大器 LM124 上演示了该技术在原始和受压条件下的应用。为了验证我们的假设，我们将实验结果与从成熟的脉冲激光 SEE 技术中获得的结果进行了比较。这些结果之间的极佳一致性支持了我们的假设，即 SEE 易感性可能从根本上源于电场和机械场。因此，绘制这些场的定位图的能力可以间接绘制大面积电子设备的 SEE 敏感度图，而这在时间和资源上都是非常昂贵的。

Novel composite (MC/TiO2) films consisting of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) and organic polymer methylcellulose (MC), were synthesized for applied in photocatalysis and industrial sectors. The preparation of the nanocomposites MC/TiO2 films were verified successfully by EDX technique, which demonstrated the uniform distribution of TiO2 in the MC. Moreover, in frequency of 20 Hz to 5.5 MHz, the dielectric properties of MC as a function of TiO2 concentration were determined. The conductivity improved from 5.8 × 10−8 S.cm−1 for MC to 3.8 × 10−6 S.cm−1 for the composite MC/TiO2, and the dielectric constant ε′ has risen from 87 for MC to 179 for the composite MC/TiO2. In addition, the energy density increases from 3.86 × 10−4 J m−3 for MC to 7.94 × 10−4 J m−3 for MC/TiO2, and the relaxation time τr dropped from 11.5 × 10−5 sec to 2.58 × 10−5. In summary, the data investigated that the dielectric characteristics of MC/TiO2 were modified for usage in different applications as wastewater treatment and energy storage devices.

This work aims to analyze the structural properties of lithium and potassium tetra borate glasses that have undergone modification with tellurium oxide and Cu2+ ions with the chemical composition xK2B4O7-(80-x) Li2B4O7−19TeO2−1CuO [KLTC] (with x = 50, 60, 70 & 80 mole%). The analysis is performed by using different spectroscopic methods. The absence of sharp Braggs peaks in the X-ray diffraction spectra confirmed the amorphous nature of the processed glasses. The optical parameter values were obtained from Tauc and Urbach plots. The band gap values decreased in proportion with the content of K2B4O7 in KLTC. On these samples EPR studies were put on in order to determine the ligand field surrounded by the Cu2+ ions. The spin-Hamiltonian parameters suggest that the Cu2+ ions are located in tetragonally stretched octahedral locations. The existence of metal cations along with the characteristics borate as well as tellurite structural units were confirmed by the peaks observed in the Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectra. Among the prepared KLTC glass samples, KLTC-80 is found to be the best sample in the field of fiber optics communication.

We investigateed the effect of AgNPs@AuNPs/GO on the rheological and filtration properties of sodium-bentonite water based drilling muds (Na-bentonite WBDM) and compared the possible effects of graphene, graphene oxide (GO), and graphene oxide functionalized with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs/GO) on Na-bentonite WBDM. Graphene, AuNPs, AgNPs, GO, AuNPs/GO, and AgNPs@AuNPs/GO were initially synthesized, and subsequently subjected to scanning electron microscopy, tranmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, reflection absoprtion infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterization. At a rate of 0.0005% to 0.01% (w/v), synthesized and described nanoparticles were added to Na-bentonite WBDM. Rheological and filtration loss analyses of the nanomaterial-containing Na-bentonite WBDM were then performed following American Petroleum Institute Standards. According to the study’s findings, adding graphene and AgNPs/GO to drilling mud at varying rates did not have any influence on PV values when compared to spud mud; however, adding GO and AgNPs@AuNPs/GO had a positive effect of 67% and 33%.

Zinc antimony oxide (ZnSb2O4) thin films were prepared by inexpensive nebulizer spray pyrolysis. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the ZnSb2O4 thin films have a tetragonal structure. The analysis of structural indices indicate that the grain size of the ZnSb2O4 films was enhanced by expanding the thickness of the ZnSb2O4 layers, and the dislocation density was decreased. Further, the optical reflectance, R, and transmittance, T, of the ZnSb2O4 sheets, were used to investigate the optical characteristics of these layers. The optical investigations of the ZnSb2O4 films refer to an improvement in the refractive index values, Urbach energy, and absorption coefficient by boosting the thickness. Moreover, the energy gap analysis of these films shows that their energy gap decreased from 3.75 to 3.47 eV as the thickness increased. The investigation of optoelectrical characteristics involves improving the optical conductivity, electrical conductivity, optical carrier concentration, and optical mobility of the ZnSb2O4 films by growing the thickness. The nonlinear optical indices of the ZnSb2O4 layers were deduced, and it was noted that the boost in the nonlinear optical indices of these films occurred by raising the thickness. Furthermore, the ZnSb2O4 films displayed n-type semiconducting properties by the hot probe equipment.

We have developed a method that uses a half-cycle Hf precursor adsorption to subtly dope GeO2 IL of the Hf-based gate stack through in situ plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition. This technique can effectively reduce GeO vaporization and improve the thermal stability of the GeO2 layer. Our results indicated that the accumulation capacitance (Cacc) undergoing higher temperatures showed no noticeable increase in the capacitance-voltage (CV) curves once Hf was delicately introduced into the GeO2 layer. According to the Ge 3d spectra of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, we found that the IL had a signal from extra Hf-O bonds; thus, we conclude GeO evaporation can be suppressed substantially by Hf incorporation. As a result, adding metal into GeOx IL to form HfGeOx achieved a remarkably low leakage current of 9 × 10−5 A cm−2 and the lowest interface trap density (Dit) of approximately 2 × 1011 eV−1 cm−2 at 500 °C of PMA. In addition, applying this gate stack structure to device fabrication significantly reduced the leakage current of the off-state and improved the effective peak hole mobility.
我们开发了一种方法，利用半周期 Hf 前驱体吸附，通过原位等离子体增强原子层沉积，对基于 Hf 的栅极堆栈的 GeO2 IL 进行微量掺杂。这种技术能有效减少 GeO 的气化，提高 GeO2 层的热稳定性。我们的研究结果表明，将 Hf 微妙地引入 GeO2 层后，在较高温度下的累积电容（Cacc）在电容-电压（CV）曲线上没有明显的增加。根据 X 射线光电子能谱的 Ge 3d 光谱，我们发现 IL 有来自额外 Hf-O 键的信号；因此，我们得出结论：加入 Hf 可以大大抑制 GeO 蒸发。因此，在 GeOx IL 中加入金属形成 HfGeOx 后，在 500 °C 的 PMA 温度下，漏电流明显降低到 9 × 10-5 A cm-2，界面阱密度 (Dit) 最低，约为 2 × 1011 eV-1 cm-2。此外，在器件制造过程中应用这种栅极堆栈结构还能显著降低关态漏电流，提高有效峰值空穴迁移率。

Single-crystal sapphire is known to be among the hardest insulators. Its mechanical properties and chemical inertness make it a challenging material to polish for the atomic-level surface smoothness required for its applications.

众所周知，单晶蓝宝石是最坚硬的绝缘体之一。其机械特性和化学惰性使其成为一种难以抛光的材料，难以达到其应用所需的原子级表面光滑度。使用金刚石磨料进行机械抛光的去除率很高，但会产生无法接受的抛光沟痕。另一方面，化学机械抛光可获得原子级的光滑度，但过程缓慢。因此，工业界将这两种方法结合起来使用。在这项工作中，我们尝试使用原子力显微镜、X 射线衍射和横截面透射电子显微镜，对金刚石研磨机械抛光和胶体二氧化硅化学机械抛光引起的 C 平面和 A 平面蓝宝石的开槽和次表面损伤进行表征。亮点 蓝宝石（α-Al2O3）两种取向/平面的化学机械抛光/平面化。表征抛光引起的沟纹--测量沟纹深度。生长外延层、显示器、可穿戴电子设备的窗口等。使用 TEM、XRD 和 AFM 对蓝宝石表面进行表征 - 结果量化。利用 X 射线摇摆曲线确定晶体表面质量。

Mn-doped Zn3P2-diluted magnetic semiconducting nanoparticles (Zn0.98Mn0.02P2, Zn0.96Mn0.04P2, Zn0.94Mn0.06P2, and Zn0.92Mn0.08P2) were synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction followed by a subsequent vacuum annealing process. The formation of a tetragonal structure of pure and Mn-doped Zn3P2 was confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies, with no evidence of any further phases. Lattice parameters dicrease from a = b = 8.133 Å, c = 11.459 Å to a = b = 8.041 Å, c = 11.410 Å with increasing dopant concentration. Scanning electron microscpy analysis indicated that all samples that underwent doping exhibited agglomeration in the scanned range of 500 nm. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis confirmed the presence of Zn, P, and Mn in the samples, and all of the synthesized samples achieved a nearly atomic ratio. In the diffused reflectance spectra, the optical band gap increases from 1.398 to 1.418 eV with increasing dopant concentration. PL has provided evidence indicating that the emission intensity of all doped samples remains constant with increasing dopant content from x = 0.02 to 0.08, with different excitation wavelengths (215 and 290 nm). Vibrating sample magnetometer tests confirmed the presence of ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature, and a positive correlation between saturation magnetization and Mn content, with the magnetic moment increasing from 0.0640 to 0.1181 emu g−1 with an increase in dopant content.

Over the past few decades, Polyvinyl-alcohol (PVOH)/cornstarch (CS)-based composite thin films have garnered significant interest due to their enhanced properties. Synthesis of such films relies heavily on depolymerization reactions within the solution of the PVOH/CS blends. Understanding how depolymerization affects the crystal structure and properties of these films is crucial for further improvement. This study aims to evaluate the depolymerization effects of crosslinked PVOH incorporated with CS as filler materials (with an 80:20 mass ratio) using ultrasonication at various time intervals while maintaining a constant frequency of 25 KHz. The prepared solution is then cast into thin films using blade coating. Comparative analyses were then conducted between samples subjected to ultrasonication (treated) and without ultrasonication (untreated) to assess their properties based on structural physical, mechanical, optical, and aspects of biodegradability . The investigation revealed significant changes in crystal structure and lattice strains following ultrasonication of the PVOH/CS solution when compared to untreated PVOH/CS samples. Importantly, longer ultrasonication times correlated with increased tensile strength. Additionally, the treated samples led to improvements in thin film transparency and a notable decrease in absorbance. These changes were attributed to the mechanical depolymerization induced by ultrasonication, aligning the thin films with the necessary properties for food packaging applications.
