Abstract Copper (Cu) wire has been extensively used in the semiconductors industry to replace gold because of its cost-effectiveness and high performance. However, it a massive challenge oxidation rate, hardness, susceptibility corrosion which is time-sensitive under environmental conditions. One attractive factors investigate electrolytes assembly process copper wire. these electrolyte chemica...

Reaction of equimolar quantities of MX (M = Au, Cu, X = Cl; M = Ag, X = OTf) and GaCl(3) in CH(2)Cl(2) with P(4) leads to phosphorus ligating a cationic coinage metal centre. For Cu and Ag, ion-contacted coordination polymers are formed; for Au, an ion-separated complex is observed that features the [Au(η(2)-P(4))(2)](+) cation, which is the first homoleptic Au-P(4) complex to be characterised ...

objective(s): binary hybrids of chitosan-zeolite have many interesting applications in separation and bacteriostatic activity. materials and methods: template free zsm-5 zeolite was synthesized by hydrothermal method, physical hydrogels of nano chitosan in the colloidal domain were obtained in the absence of toxic organic solvent and then nano chitosan/zsm-5 hybrid composites with nano chitosan...

Homo-metallic metal alkynyl complexes exhibit interesting catenane structures, but their hetero-metallic catenane counterparts are under-developed. In this work, we report rare examples of bimetallic Au–Cu (DtbpC^C ligand; Dtbp 1⁄4 3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl), Au–Ag (BuC^C ligand), and Au–Cu, Au–Ag (C6FluoC^C ligand; C6-Fluo 1⁄4 9,9-dihexyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl) complexes as well as a trimetallic Au–Ag...

in this study, 27 achaemenid coins, 62 parthian coins, 66 sassanid coins, have been analyzed. the achaemenid coins as well as 20 parthian coins belong to the national museum of iran and the other 42 parthian coins are kept in tamashagah-e pool museum. sasanid coins belong to private collectors. using pixe analysis, the element concentrations of the coins were measured. by using statistical anal...

We use first-principles methods to investigate the adsorption of Cu, Pb, Ag, and Mg onto a H-terminated Si surface. We show that Cu and Pb can adsorb strongly while Ag and Mg are fairly inert. In addition, adsorption states of two types are seen to exist for Pb. We also study the clustering energetics of Cu and Pb on the surface and find that while Cu clusters eagerly, Pb may prefer to form onl...

Herein we report the fabrication of g-C3N4 nanofilms and their application as a solid fluorescence sensor. The as-prepared films are capable of convenient, sensitive, selective, rapid and recyclable sensing of Cu(2+) and Ag(+) in water and serum, indicating the sensor's potential application in disease diagnosis. Attractively, our sensor is able to differentiate Cu(2+) and Ag(+) by making use o...

Interfacial reactions and shear properties of the In-48Sn (in wt.%) ball grid array (BGA) solder joints after bonding were investigated with four different surface finishes of the substrate over an underlying Cu pad: electroplated Ni/Au (hereafter E-NG), electroless Ni/immersion Au (hereafter ENIG), immersion Ag (hereafter I-Ag) and organic solderability preservative (hereafter OSP). During bon...

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is ideally suited for probing and mapping surface species and incipient phases on fuel cell electrodes because of its high sensitivity and surface-selectivity, potentially offering insights into the mechanisms of chemical and energy transformation processes. In particular, bimetal nanostructures of coinage metals (Au, Ag, and Cu) have attracted much atte...

The equilibrium dihedral angles at the solid–solid–vapor tri-junctions of two-phase Cu–Ag alloy nanoparticles 40– 100 nm in diameter were measured as a function of phase fraction using transmission electron microscopy. The {111} solid–solid interface was cusp-oriented while the surface orientations of the Cu-rich and Ag-rich phases at the trijunction were mostly free to vary. The dihedral angle...
