The fatigue fracture surfaces were observed using a scanning laser microscope system. Based on the digital data thus obtained, an imaginary fracture surface was reconstructed in a three-dimensional (3D) space using a personal computer. Fractal analysis proposed by Mandelbrot was applied to such 3D surfaces and a hyperbola model was accepted to represent the Richardson effect. Because of the Richardson effect thus analyzed, fractal features were distinguished in the fracture surface irregularity. Results demonstrated that the geometrical irregularity of the surface was well evaluated by combining the fractal dimension and additional indices termed as \"indices of fracture surface nature\", and that the fractal dimension and the additional indices were associated with the stress intensity factor range of AK.","PeriodicalId":16679,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optoelectronics and Advanced Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2013-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1299/KIKAIA.66.2183","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66360893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this work is to investigate the structural changes that appear in the 3B 2 O3·As 2 O 3 glass matrix with the addition and increasing of silver ions content. Boroxol rings, pyro-, ortho-, di-, tri-, tetraand penta-borate groups and structural units characteristic to As 2 O 3 were found in the structure of the studied glasses. At small silver oxide content the predominant structural units are those in which boron is three-fold coordinated. For higher silver oxide concentrations (x ≥ 5 mol%) the number of four-fold coordinated boron units is increasing. The changes in the A r = A 4 /A 3 (A 4 and A 3 reflect the relative amount of tetrahedral (BO 4 and B∅ - 4 ) and triangular (BO 3 and BO 2 O - ) borate species) ratio also shows the fact that silver oxide influence the boron coordination number. The Raman analysis leads to similar conclusions as FT- IR measurements.","PeriodicalId":16679,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optoelectronics and Advanced Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2010-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1142/S0217984910022172","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63863841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new approach is demonstrated to improve the crystalline quality of a 100 nm-thick AIN film by the use of a 5 nm-thick low temperature AIN nucleation layer. Compared to a conventional AIN layer directly grown on SiC substrate at high temperature, the surface morphology of two-step AIN film is remarkably improved along with a decreasing of defect density, leading to the improvement of crystalline quality for the subsequently grown GaN layer.

CuS thin film has been grown with using Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) method.

The characteristic parameters such as barrier height, ideality factor and series resistance of Cu/CuS/p-Si/Al structure have been calculated from the forward bias I-V and reverse bias C -2 -V characteristics. The ideality factor and barrier height have been obtained as n=1.63 and Φ b =0.69 eV by applying a thermo-ionic emission theory. At high current densities in the forward direction, the series resistance effect has been observed. The values of R s obtained from dV/d(InI) - / and H(I) - / plots are near to each others (R s =340.33 □ and R s =346.24 □, respectively). In the same way, the barrier height calculated from C -2 -V characteristics have been varied from 0.523 to 0.601 eV. Furthermore, the density distribution of interface states of the multilayer device has been obtained from the semi-log forward bias I-V characteristics. It has been seen that the N ss has almost an exponential rise with bias voltage from top of the valance band toward to mid gap.","PeriodicalId":16679,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optoelectronics and Advanced Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70790866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The processing method is suitable for the simultaneous preparation of films of different relative content of Co in the MgO insulating matrix. Morphologic, structural and magnetic behaviors were analyzed in as prepared and annealed samples. The influence of the Co content on the magnetic properties of the prepared films was analyzed, in correlation with tunneling magneto-resistance effects. The tunneling magneto-resistance effect is maximal for certain Co content. This behavior was interpreted by the contrary effects of decreasing the average size of the magnetic grains, and hence the average inter-grains distance at higher Co relative content, and the enhanced magnetic disorder in very fine grains dispersed in the insulating matrix. This mechanism was suggested by the comportment of as prepared and thermally annealed samples.","PeriodicalId":16679,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optoelectronics and Advanced Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2008-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1088/1742-6596/100/8/082026","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60590465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
