In this study, thickness related changes of the optical properties of doped tin oxide were studied. Two different sets of samples were prepared. The first set was doped with iron or nickel on silicon substrate with thicknesses of 29–56 nm, the second was iron doped on gold/glass substrate with 1.6–6.3 nm. The optical constants were determined by using spectral ellipsometry (SE) followed by modelling of the dielectric function with an oscillator model using Gaussian peaks. The analysis of the optical constants shows a dependence of the refraction and the absorption on the thickness of the doped tin oxide coating. In addition to the tin oxide absorption in the UV, one additional absorption peak was found in the near-IR/red which is related to plasmonic effects due to the doping. This peak shifts from the near-IR to the red part of the visible spectrum and becomes stronger by reducing the thickness, probably due to the formation of metal nanoparticles in this layer. These results were found for two different sets of samples by using the same optical model. Afterwards the second sample set was tested in the Surface Plasmon Resonance Enhanced Ellipsometric (SPREE) gas measurement with CO gas. It was found that the thickness has significant influence on the sensitivity and thus the adsorption of the CO gas. By increasing the thickness from 1.6 nm to 5.1 nm, the sensing ability is enhanced due to a higher coverage of the surface with the over coating. This is explained by the high affinity of CO molecules to the incorporated Fe-nanoparticles in the tin oxide coating. By increasing the thickness further to 6.3 nm, the sensing ability drops because the layer disturbs the SPR sensing effect too much.
Coatings deposited by magnetron co-sputtering from a single RF magnetron with a ceramic SnO2 target with iron inset in argon plasma were studied. The mass spectra of the process identified Sn+ and SnO+ species as the dominant species sputtered from the target, but no SnO2+ species were detected. The dominant positive ions in argon plasma are Ar+ species. The only detected negative ions were O-. Sputtered neutral tin related species were not detected. Iron related species were also not detected because their concentration is below the detection limit.
The concentration of iron dopant in the tin oxide coatings was controlled by the RF bias applied on the substrate holder while the discharge pressure also has some influence. The iron concentration was in the range from 0.9 at.% up to 19 at.% increasing with the substrate bias while the sheet resistivity decreases. The stoichiometry ratio of O/(Sn + Fe) in the coatings increased from 1.7 up to 2 in dependence on the substrate bias from floating bias (- 5 V) up to - 120 V of RF self-bias, respectively. The tin in the coatings was mainly bonded in Sn4 + state and iron was mainly in Fe2 + state when other tin bonding states were detected only in a small amounts. Iron bonding states in contrary to elemental compositions of the coatings were not influenced by the RF bias applied on the substrate.
The coatings showed high transparency in the visible spectral range. However, an increased metallic behavior could be detected by using a higher RF bias for the deposition. The X-ray diffraction patterns and electron microscopy pictures made on the coatings confirmed the presence of an amorphous phase.
Im ersten Teil dieses Beitrags [1] sind die Grundlagen der Passivität
und der Depassivierung sowie des Korrosionsfortschritts von Stahl in
Beton eingehend dargestellt worden.
Die entstehenden Korrosionsprodukte werden zunächst vom Porengefüge des Betons aufgenommen, ohne dass es zu äußerlich sichtbaren Veränderungen an der Betonoberfläche kommt. Infolge der sich einstellenden Sättigung des Porenraumes mit Korrosionsprodukten und des daraus resultierenden Spannungsaufbaus im Beton können Folgeschäden, wie Risse und Abplatzungen am Bauwerk entstehen, die notwendige Sanierungsmaßnahmen bedingen.
The paper presents the damage model of German Research Unit 537 which was used as a working hypothesis for the development of a user-friendly design model. Excerpts from the laboratory experiments and numerical calculations processed in project A of the research unit are presented here. The excerpts include the quantification of self-corrosion, geometrical effects in the macrocell corrosion, development of corroding steel surface and pit depth as well as the quantification of the resistivity of the concrete and the corrosion of steel in cracked concrete.
Today, quantitative data play a pivotal role in the understanding of biological processes. This is particularly true for the proteome: protein quantification always follows protein identification. To obtain useful and reliable quantitative data, rather sophisticated strategies using electrospray and MALDI mass spectrometry have been developed, which allow relative and sometimes even absolute quantification. All of those strategies have merits and limitations. In order to overcome some of these limits, methods based on the reliable and sensitive detection and quantification of heavy metals present in proteins using inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-MS have been reported. With specific labels carrying heavy metals, the applicability of ICP-MS has been extended to almost every protein. One of such covalently bound metal tags, allowing the quantification of low abundant proteins, uses 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane N,N',N'',N''-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) chelate complexes carrying lanthanides as the metal core. In this review the scope and limitations of peptide and protein quantification will be addressed. The metal tags do not only provide low detection limits, but also due to the large number of different lanthanides and lanthanide isotopes, multiplexing capabilities and previously unknown accuracy based on inherently possible isotope dilution methods came into reach. The developed workflows, including electrophoretic and chromatographic separation and preconcentration techniques, will be addressed to allow a comparison with already established procedures.
Components in the Aerospace, Power and Automotive engineering sectors are frequently subjected to cyclic stresses induced by thermal fluctuations and mechanical loads. For the design of such components, reliable material property data are required which need to be acquired using well accepted and reproducible test procedures for thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) loading. There is limited availability of proven TMF data indicating there is need for further research and testing. The TMF behaviour of materials is often desired to be simulated in models which describe the cyclic stress-strain behaviour, the fatigue life and the cyclic crack growth behaviour. There is a continuous need for the development and amendment of such models. Models can be validated by using materials in industrial applications which are subjected to TMF loading.
The 3rd Workshop on Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue was held on 27–29 April 2016 at BAM, Berlin, Germany. The workshop was attended by 90 attendees coming from 17 countries in the world. 38 presentations including five poster presentations were held.
The following topics were covered by the workshop:
– TMF of materials coated with Thermal Barrier Coatings.
– Thermal Gradient Mechanical Fatigue.
– TMF crack growth.
– TMF + High Cycle Fatigue.
– TMF Modelling and Lifetime Prediction.
– TMF Properties of steels, cast iron, Al-, Mg- and Ni-alloys
– Advanced TMF Testing Techniques.
– Industrial Applications.
A panel discussion was held regarding the present state of TMF testing standards (ISO and ASTM) and their potential for improvement. The discussion and contributions were summarized and forwarded to the standard committees. The 3rd TMF-Workshop ensured the continuation of international exchange of knowledge providing a forum to present and discuss all recent developments in the field of thermo-mechanical fatigue.
The current special issue publishes eleven selected papers of the 3rd TMF-Workshop 2016. The papers were peer reviewed by a number of experts in the Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue sector. I hope you will enjoy reading papers of this special issue.
The authors describe and interpret curvature-related changes to the ellipsometric readout. As model system for a concave curvature, a set of three spherical microscopic indents in silicon (100) of different sizes was prepared by instrumented indentation testing using a spherical indenter. For reference, these samples were characterized by AFM to reveal the topography of each structure. The concavelike indents were analyzed by Mueller-Matrix imaging ellipsometry to extract lateral intensity images of 12 elements of the Mueller-Matrix. As a result of the detailed analysis of the image elements m22, m23, and m14, it was possible to correlate intensity changes and symmetry properties to depolarization and cross polarization induced by the edge threshold and the curved surface of the indent.
Public, hidden, and forensic features either encoded or directly legible are used for authentication. Fabry-Perot layer stacks as information carriers in combination with imaging ellipsometry as optical read-out system provide all-in-one anti-counterfeiting capability that may establish the new security level 'encoded forensic'. Different layer designs are described with regard to all three security levels: public features (e.g. color and tilt effect) perceptible by the human eye, hidden features (e.g. spectroscopic response in the UV or IR), and forensic features (ellipsometric quantities Ψ and Δ as a function of wavelength λ and angle of incidence AOI). Physically uncloneable functions (PUF) could be realized as a result of a multi-material and a multi-parameter deposition approach as well as by means of specific design features of the Fabry-Perot layer stack. Hence, they are not subject to any reverse engineering strategies. Examples of stratified, micro-structured, and laser-modified Fabry-Perot layer systems are considered that may be used at all perception levels (e.g. human eye, bar code reader, and imaging ellipsometry) for authentication against product counterfeiting and related areas. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zur Authentifizierung werden offene, versteckte und forensische Merkmale entweder codiert oder direkt auslesbar verwendet. Mit Fabry-Perot Schichtsystemen als Informationsträger in Kombination mit der abbildenden Ellipsometrie als optischem Auslesesystem steht ein 'all-in-one' Fälschungsschutz-System zur Verfügung, das ein neues Sicherheitsniveau 'kodiert-forensisch' darstellt. Es werden unterschiedliche Schichtdesigns beschrieben, mit denen alle drei Sicherheitsniveaus realisiert werden können: offene Merkmale (z.B. Farbe und Kippeffekt), die mit dem menschlichen Auge wahrnehmbar sind, versteckte Merkmale (z.B. die spektrale Antwort im Sichtbaren oder im IR) sowie forensische Merkmale (ellipsometrische Größen Ψ und Δ als Funktion der Wellenlänge λ und des Einfallswinkels AOI).
Physikalisch nicht klonbare Funktionen (PUF) können im Ergebnis einer Multi-Material- und Multi-Parameter Beschichtungsstrategie sowie durch spezifische Design-Merkmale des Fabry-Perot Schichtsystems realisiert werden. Folglich sind solche Schichtsysteme dem 'reverse engineering' nicht zugänglich. Es werden Beispiele für lateral ausgedehnte, mikrostrukturierte und Laser modifizierte Schichtsysteme auf verschiedenen Ausleseniveaus (menschliches Auge, Barcode-Lesegerät, abbildendes Ellipsometer) vorgestellt, die zur Authentifizierung von Produkten und verwandte Gebiete geeignet sind.
The irradiation of ~0.9-µm-thick hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) layers deposited on silicon substrates with single femtosecond (fs) laser pulses (35 fs pulse duration, 790 nm centre wavelength) in air is studied experimentally. Irradiation spots have been generated with different peak fluences and subsequently investigated by optical topometry, micro Raman spectroscopy and microscale mechanical indentation in order to evaluate their microscopic, topographical, structural and mechanical properties (e.g. elastic modulus). By this multi-method approach, a clear separation of different effects (delamination and graphitisation) becomes possible. The joint application of mechanical and spectroscopic techniques provides unique insights into the effects of the fs-laser radiation on the carbon layer.
Flexible electrochromic devices (ECDs) based on Fe(II)-metallo-supramolecular polyelectrolytes (Fe-MEPE) and vanadium oxide are studied in operando by means of x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy. The ECDs are blue-purple in the colored state at 0.0 V and become light yellow when a voltage of 1.6 V is applied. The XAFS studies at the K-edge of Fe(II) reveals that the absorption edge is shifted toward higher energies by 1.8 eV in the transparent state. Comparison of two different ECDs and different charge cycles demonstrates the reversibility and repeatability of the process. We attribute the shift to a charge transfer and a change of oxidation state of the ions from Fe2+ to Fe3+. The transition is not accompanied by a noticeable structural change of the octahedral coordination geometry as confirmed by analysis of the extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) data.
