In this study, we investigated the improvement in the light output power of indium gallium nitride (InGaN)-based ultraviolet (UV), blue, and green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) by fabricating shallow periodic hole patterns (PHPs) on the LED surface through laser interference lithography and inductively coupled plasma etching. Noticeably, different enhancements were observed in the light output p...

Expressions are given for the maximum and minimum values of Poisson’s ratio ν for materials with cubic symmetry. Values less than −1 occur if and only if the maximum shear modulus is associated with the cube axis and is at least 25 times the value of the minimum shear modulus. Large values of |ν| occur in directions at which the Young’s modulus is approximately equal to one half of its 111 valu...

Treatment of indium trichloride with three equivalents of the cyclopentadienyliron carbonyl anions, [Fe(C O )2(?7-C5H4R)] (R = H, Me) affords the tri-iron indium com plexes [In{Fe(C O )2(//-C5H 4R )},] (R = H. Me) as dark red crystalline materials. Both compounds were characterized by spectroscopic and analytical methods. Infrared spectroscopy indicates that both com plexes are undissociated in...

Atomic-layer-deposition (ALD) of In2O3 nano-films has been investigated using cyclopentadienyl indium (InCp) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as precursors. The In2O3 films can be deposited preferentially at relatively low temperatures of 160-200 °C, exhibiting a stable growth rate of 1.4-1.5 Å/cycle. The surface roughness of the deposited film increases gradually with deposition temperature, which...

The oxidation of anionand cation-rich indium phosphide ~001! has been investigated by exposure to unexcited molecular oxygen. Indium phosphide oxidation is an activated process and strongly structure sensitive. The In-rich d(234) surface reacts with oxygen at 300 K and above. Core level x-ray photoemission spectra have revealed that the O2 dissociatively chemisorbs onto the d(234), inserting in...

ABSTRACT Thioether-functionalised indium aminoalcoholates have been used as single-source precursors in aerosol-assisted CVD processes. The obtained In2O3-x S x oxysulphide deposits show either a single indium sulphide phase for deposits with high sulphide content [>75% (S/(S + O)) for the t-butyl derivatives] or pronounced phase separation in indium oxide and indium sulphide for lower sulphide...

This study aimed to compare the caspofungin immunomodulating activities against Candida albicans on polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) from renal transplant recipients (RTRs) and healthy subjects (HSs). RTR PMNs showed a significantly reduced fungicidal activity compared with that of HS PMNs. Addition of caspofungin to RTR PMNs significantly potentiated the yeast intracellular killing rate, achievi...

This study characterized the plasmonic scattering effects of indium nanoparticles (In NPs) on the front surface and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on the rear surface of a thin silicon solar cell according to external quantum efficiency (EQE) and photovoltaic current-voltage. The EQE response indicates that, at wavelengths of 300 to 800 nm, the ratio of the number of photo-carriers collected to ...

The tunable physical and electronic structure of III-V semiconductor alloys renders them uniquely useful for a variety of applications, including biological imaging, transistors, and solar energy conversion. However, their fabrication typically requires complex gas phase instrumentation or growth from high-temperature melts, which consequently limits their prospects for widespread implementatio...
