The growth rate and uniformity of Carbon Nano Tubes (CNTs) based on Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) technique is investigated by using a numerical model. In this reactor, inlet gas mixture, including xylene as carbon source and mixture of argon and hydrogen as  carrier gas enters into a horizontal CVD reactor at atmospheric pressure. Based on the gas phase and surface reactions, released carbon...

background and objectives: beta-thalassemia continues to be a cause of significant burden to the society particularly in the poorer developing countries. although sophisticated methods of screening have become available, a hunt for a cheap, rapid, objective screening method still remains elusive. thus, the objectives are to study the validity of naked-eye-single-tube-osmotic-fragility-test (nes...

Deuterium annealing has been widely demonstrated to be an effective way to improve the hot-carrier reliability of MOS devices. In this paper, we present a thorough study of the effect of deuterium pressure on the characteristics and hot-carrier reliability of MOS devices. N-channel submicron MOS transistors were annealed in deuterium with various pressures, temperatures and annealing times. It ...

The dark conductivity, photoconductivity, and diffusion length have been determined in a comprehensive study on microcrystalline silicon samples, prepared under different deposition conditions: variation of substrate temperature, pressure, power, and silane to hydrogen ratio. The results show that the dark and majority carrier properties are correlated, which can be attributed to a Fermi-level ...

In this chapter we discuss the latest developments in the field of high-pressure freezing (HPF). The Leica HPF machine EM HPM100 is discussed in detail due to significant changes compared to its predecessor model. Its centerpiece is a multipart polymer cartridge which holds the specimen carrier sandwich and guides it automatically through the freezing process until immersed in liquid nitrogen. ...

The effect of pressure on acceptor levels and hole scattering mechanisms in p-GaSe is investigated through Hall effect and resistivity measurements under quasi-hydrostatic conditions up to 4 GPa. The pressure dependence of the hole concentration is interpreted through a carrier statistics equation with a single (nitrogen) or double (tin) acceptor whose ionization energies decrease under pressur...

We report strong localization of two-dimensional electron gas in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 epitaxial thin-film heterostructures grown on (LaAlO3)0.3-(Sr2AlTaO3)0.7 substrates by using pulsed laser deposition with in situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction. Using longitudinal and transverse magnetotransport measurements, we have determined that disorder at the interface influences the conduction be...

Small polaron carrier density in epitaxial, doped CeO(2) thin films under low oxygen partial pressure was determined from electrochemically-measured capacitance after accounting for interfacial effects and shown to agree well with bulk values.

Much of microbial life on Earth grows and reproduces under the elevated hydrostatic pressure conditions that exist in deep-ocean and deep-subsurface environments. In this study adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) experiments were conducted to investigate the possible modification of the piezosensitive Escherichia coli for improved growth at high pressure. After approximately 500 generations of ...
