This paper studied the manufacturing process of Piezoelectric-on-Silicon (POS) substrate which integrates 128° Y – X Lithium niobate thin film and silicon wafer using Smart-Cut technology. The blistering exfoliation processes He as-implanted LN crystal under different annealing temperatures are observed by in-situ method. Unlike conventional polishing process, stripping mechanism is changed con...

background: lithium has been the treatment of choice for bipolar disorder (bd) for many years. although erectile dysfunction is a known adverse effect of this drug, the mechanism of action by which lithium affects erectile function is still unknown. objective: the aim was to investigate the possible involvement of nitric oxide (no) in modulatory effect of lithium on penile erection (pe). we fur...

Lithium metal is the ultimate anode choice for high energy density rechargeable lithium batteries. However, it suffers from inferior electrochemical performance and safety issues due to its high reactivity and the growth of lithium dendrites. It has long been desired to develop a materials coating on Li metal, which is pinhole-free, mechanically robust without fracture during Li metal depositio...

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of bonding brackets to ceramic restorations. Sixty feldspathic and 60 lithium disilicate ceramic specimens were randomly divided into six groups. Shear bond strength (SBS) and bond failure types were examined with six surface-conditioning methods: silane application to glazed surface, air particle abrasion (APA) with 25- and 50-microm alu...

introduction: lithium salts are known as effective psychotropic medicine for treatment bipolar disorder and may be used to treat alcoholism, schizoaffective disorders, and cluster headaches. the antioxidant activity and immunomodulatory effects of prospective lithium compounds have been investigated in this work. materials and methods: the antioxidant properties were studied by the voltammetry ...

Lithium wall conditioning in TFTR, CDX-U, T-11M, TJ-II and NSTX is found to yield enhanced plasma performance manifest, in part, through improved deuterium particle control. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) experiments examine the affect of D irradiation on lithiated graphite and show that the surface chemistry of lithiated graphite after D ion bombardment (500 eV/amu) is fundamentally di...

the effects of chronic administration of lithium, on acute toxicity of carbamazepine (cbz) in mate albino mice was studied and the ld50 values were determined from dose-probit curves. the results showed that in lithium pretreated animals (animals consumed drinking water contraining 600 mg/l lithium carbonate for 10 days) the ld50 value (the doese corresponding to probit 5) of cbz decreased sign...

Using first-principles density functional theory calculations, we investigate adsorption properties and the diffusion mechanism of a Li atom on hydrogenated single-layer α- and β-silicene on a Ag(111) surface. It is found that a Li atom binds strongly on the surfaces of both α- and β-silicene, and it forms an ionic bond through the transfer of charge from the adsorbed atom to the surface. The b...
