Here the deposition of hard DLC layers on soft polymers is tested. The common industrial polymers polyethylene (PE) and polyoxymethylene (POM) serve as model substrates in the present work. In order to examine the effect of the carbonaceous layers on PE and POM thin diamond-like carbon films were realized via PECVD. The topography of the different coatings was detected by AFM and SEM uncovering the different influence of the substrate material, e. g. interlayer formation for PE. The composition of the surface structures were analyzed in more detail by NEXAFS, showing the hybridization of carbon atoms in chemical different surroundings from the pure polymer to the carbon coating. The comparison of carbon coated PE- and POM-composites enables valuable insights into the interaction between soft substrates and hard coatings. For the chosen settings in PECVD, POM showed incomplete coating, while on PE a very stable and robust composite has formed.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FischerRohrbeckWehneretal., author = {Fischer, Christian B. and Rohrbeck, Magdalena and Wehner, Stefan and Richter, Matthias and St{\"a}dter, Matthias and Schmeißer, Dieter}, title = {Interlayer formation of Diamond-Like Carbon Coatings on Polyethylene Plastic Material}, series = {Verhandlungen der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft}, booktitle = {Verhandlungen der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft}, publisher = {Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft}, address = {Bad Honnef}, abstract = {The coating of materials with diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a very common way to further improve and modify surface specific properties. Although DLC is frequently used as a protective coating on several substrates, the chemical and physical properties throughout the coating process on plastics are yet sparsely investigated. Different layer thicknesses of two types of protective coatings one sp3-enriched (robust, r-type) and one with more sp2-centers (flexible, f-type) have been realized on polyethylene by PECVD. Microscopic analysis showed diverse surface topographies for the two DLC-types. NEXAFS spectroscopy revealed significant details of carbon centers in chemically different neighborhood displaying a characteristic fingerprint behavior. The appropriate explanation for the current carbon deposition process is obviously the formation of an interlayer between these unequal materials.

In this systematic scoping review we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the available international literature on the mediating and moderating influence of the family on health inequalities in children and adolescents in Europe and North America. Methods This review follows the PRISMA guidelines for scoping reviews. After defining the research question a search strategy was developed in cooperation with a scientific librarian and the study protocol was registered. A search of three databases (Pubmed, Scopus, PsycINFO) was conducted to identify relevant literature in English or German published between the year 2000 and 2019. A qualitative data charting process was used to extract the relevant data. Results In total 11.838 records were identified through the multi database search (Pubmed n = 6370, PsycINFO n = 3505, Scopus n = 1963). After elimination of duplicates and records from excluded countries, 8862 abstracts were screened by two researchers independently. Different cluster of evidence of family influences on health inequalities were identified: Parental behaviors and children's obesity, parents' smoking and drinking habits and adolescents' risk behaviors, parenting style and children's common mental disorders, parental resources and children's quality of life. Conclusions There are different aspects of family's contextual and compositional characteristics on health inequalities identifiable in the international literature. These characteristics might be new targets for family-focused health promotion strategies. Key messages: -A systematic scoping review found different family aspects that influence health inequalities in children and adolescents. - The identified family traits are promising targets for family-focused health promotion strategies to reduce health inequalities.}, language = {en} } @misc{MeyerBorislavovEckertetal., author = {Meyer, Werner and Borislavov, Borislav and Eckert, Friedrich and Richter, Christian and R{\"o}mer, Ronald and Beim Graben, Peter and Huber, Markus and Wolff, Matthias}, title = {Formalisierung und Implementierung einer adaptiven kognitiven Architektur unter Verwendung von Strukturdiagrammen}, series = {Elektronische Sprachsignalverarbeitung 2021 : Tagungsband der 32.

The device is called graphene-base heterojunction transistor (GBHT). The base-voltage controls the current of the device flowing from the emitter via graphene to the collector. The transit time for electrons passing by the ultrathin graphene layer is extremely short which makes the device very promising for high frequency RF-electronics. The output current of the device is saturated and clearly modulated by the base voltage. Further, the silicon collector of the GBHT is replaced by germanium to improve the device performance. This enabled the collector current to be increased by almost three orders of magnitude. Also, the common-emitter current gain (Ic/Ib) increased from 10-3 to approximately 0.3 for the newly designed device. However, the ON-OFF ratio of the improved germanium based GBHT has so far been rather low.

Second, we aimed to summarise the evidence on potential effects of contextual and compositional characteristics of specific institutional contexts entered during STWT on health and health behaviours. Design Scoping review. Study selection Relevant literature was systematically searched following the methodological framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley. Ovid MEDLINE and Web of Science, and websites of the International Labour Organization and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health were searched, using a predetermined search strategy. Articles in English or German published between 1 January 2000 and 3 February 2020 were considered. Data extraction To collect the main information from the selected studies, a data extraction spreadsheet was created. Data were summarised and grouped into five health outcomes and five institutional contexts (school, vocational training, university, work, unemployment). Results A total of 678 articles were screened for inclusion. To be able to draw a picture of the development of various health outcomes over time, we focused on longitudinal studies. Forty-six prospective studies mapping health-related outcomes during STWT were identified. Higher family socioeconomic position (SEP) was associated with higher levels of health behaviour and lower levels of health-damaging behaviour, but there was also some evidence pointing in the opposite direction. Disadvantaged family SEP negatively impacted on mental health and predicted an adverse weight development. There was limited evidence for the outcomes physical/somatic symptoms and self-rated health. Meso-level characteristics of the institutional contexts identified were not systematically assessed, only individual-level factors resulting from an exposure to these contexts, rendering an analysis of effects of contextual and compositional characteristics on health and health behaviours impossible. Conclusions This scoping review demonstrated a wide range of health inequalities during STWT for various health outcomes. However, knowledge on the role of the core institutional contexts regarding the development of health inequalities is limited.}, language = {en} } @misc{StrobelAlvaradoChavarinRichteretal., author = {Strobel, Carsten and Alvarado Chavarin, Carlos and Richter, Karola and Knaut, Martin and Reif, Johanna and Völkel, Sandra and Jahn, Andreas and Albert, Matthias and Wenger, Christian and Kirchner, Robert and Bartha, Johann Wolfgang and Mikolajick, Thomas}, title = {Novel Graphene Adjustable-Barrier Transistor with Ultra-High Current Gain}, series = {ACS Applied Materials \& Interfaces}, volume = {14}, journal = {ACS Applied Materials \& Interfaces}, number = {34}, issn = {1944-8244}, doi = {10.1021/acsami.2c10634}, pages = {39249 -- 39254}, abstract = {A graphene-based three terminal barristor device was proposed to overcome the low on/off ratios and insufficient current saturation of conventional graphene field effect transistors. In this study, we fabricated and analyzed a novel graphene-based transistor, which resembles the structure of the barristor but uses a different operating condition. This new device, termed graphene adjustable-barriers transistor (GABT), utilizes a semiconductor-based gate rather than a metal-insulator gate structure to modulate the device currents. The key feature of the device is the two graphene-semiconductor Schottky barriers with different heights that are controlled simultaneously by the gate voltage. Due to the asymmetry of the barriers, the drain current exceeds the gate current by several orders of magnitude. Thus, the GABT can be considered an amplifier with an alterable current gain. In this work, a silicon-graphene-germanium GABT with an ultra-high current gain (ID/IG up to 8 × 106) was fabricated, and the device functionality was demonstrated. Additionally, a capacitance model is applied to predict the theoretical device performance resulting in an on-off ratio above 106, a swing of 87 mV/dec, and a drivecurrent of about 1 × 106 A/cm2.}, language = {en} }
