Abstract:

New experimental results concerning basic electronic properties of fine grained metallic films call for theoretical models differing from standard theories: 1) The d.c. conductivity depends on the number of electrons crossing the grain boundary potentials along their background scattering length. An intrinsic scattering length for the whole polycrystal cannot be defined. 2) The Hall coefficient depends on the grain size. Below a “cut-off grain size”, electrons with p-symmetry are virtually confined within the grains. Consequently a virtual free electron value is observed. 3) The work function

Abstract:

It is the presence of local variations in atomic and electronic structure that often gives rise to intriguing properties of materials. Control of material properties then rests on detection of the local variations in the materials, determination of the origin of those variations and then understanding how such variations can be controlled to achieve a desired functionality. Recent examples using STEM with an atomic sized probe (∼2.2 Å) include studies of the bonding at grain boundaries in nickel rich Ni3Al doped with boron. EELS measurements revealed changes in the d-hole density-of-states tha

Abstract:

This study examines the effect of transverse thickness on the in-plane thermal conductivity of single crystal, defect-free, thin metallic films. The imposed temperature gradient is along the film and the transport of thermal energy is predominantly due to free electron motion. The small size necessitates an evaluation of the Boltzmann equation of electron transport along with appropriate electron scattering boundary conditions. Simple expressions for the reduction of conductivity due to increased dominance of boundary scattering are presented and the results are compared with other simplified

Abstract:

The electron reflection probability r at symmetric twin boundaries Σ3, Σ5, Σ9, and Σ11 is predicted from first principles for the eight most conductive face-centered cubic (fcc) metals. r increases with decreasing interplanar distance of atomic planes parallel to the boundary. This provides the basis for an extrapolation scheme to estimate the reflection probability rr at random grain boundaries, which is relatively small, rr = 0.28–0.39, for Cu, Ag, and Au due to their nearly spherical Fermi surfaces, but approximately two times higher for Al, Ca, Ni, Rh, and Ir with a predicted rr = 0.61–0.7

Abstract Nanometals, i.e., metals structured at the nanoscale, have gained increasing attention due to their excellent electronic applications. In the context of improving the electrical properties of nanometals, this study investigates the effect of phonon scattering, surface boundaries and grain boundaries on the electrical properties of magnesium (Mg) and palladium (Pd). An approximate equation is derived from the solution of the Boltzmann electron distribution equation by the Fuchs-Sondheimer and Mayadas-Shatzkes models, which takes into account the resistivity of the metal, as well as the

Abstract:

When both SnO2 film and a-Si film with infinite square resistance are deposited on an ITO film, the square resistance of the ITO film notably decreases. This phenomenon is more remarkable, when an ITO film has large square resistance. We believe that the films are composed of spaced crystalline grains. The film resistance is due to crystal boundary scattering carriers. Smaller crystalline grain and greater distance to the crystal boundary lead to fiercer scattering. The crystalline grains of the SnO2 film and a-Si film short-circuit the spaced ITO grains to form bridges so interface electrons

Abstract:

Picosecond and sub-picosecond lasers have become important tools in the fabrication and study of microstructures. When the laser pulse duration becomes comparable with or less than the characteristic time of energy exchange among microscopic energy carriers, the excited carriers are no longer in thermal equilibrium with the other carriers, creating a nonequilibrium heating situation. The presence of interfaces in metals provides additional scattering processes for electrons, which in turn affects the nonequilibrium heating process.

Abstract:

Atomic scale effects at grain boundaries are known to play a dominant role in controlling the bulk properties of many materials. However, a detailed understanding of this role is complicated by the tendency for boundaries to behave in a “non-ideal” manner, i.e. the boundary plane can change on the scale of a few nanometers, altering the number of vacancies and impurities and the presence of second phases. The crucial first step to engineering boundary properties is therefore the ability to observe these changes experimentally with both atomic resolution and sensitivity. Such a capability is pr

The role of these trap states has been analyzed in terms of the grain boundary carrier trapping model. The vacuum-annealed films are free of chemisorbed oxygen, and the conduction in these films is controlled by scattering due to ionized impurities and grain boundary barriers.

Two AlN ceramics with 3wt% and 5wt% Y2O3 intended for thermal conductivity study were sintered at 1800 °C for 4h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicates that GBP could either be YAG or YAP (YAlO3) phase, while the selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) in TEM identifies it as YAP instead of YAG. The electron back-scattering diffraction (EBSD) in SEM further confirms the general presence o

Abstract:

This study evaluated the microstructure and mechanical properties enhancement of cross roll rolled Ni-10Cr alloy, comparing with conventional rolled material. Cold rolling was carried out to 90% thickness reduction and subsequently annealed at 700 °C for 30 min to obtain the fully recrystallized microstructure. For annealed materials after rolling, to investigate the grain boundary characteristic distributions, electron back-scattering diffraction technique was introduced. Application of cross roll rolling on Ni-10Cr alloy contributed to the notable grain refinement, consequently, average grai

Abstract:

As the integrated circuits is scaled few problems appear at the lowest levels of interconnects — high resistance of copper lines and copper electromigration. High resistance is connected with the increasing contribution of the electron surface scattering and grain boundary scattering. Moreover, copper lines require barrier layers decreasing the cross-section of the copper part of the line. Also the resistance of copper to electromigration is insufficient for the technology node below 5nm. Therefore, it is necessary to look for alternative materials to replace copper, which will provide high re

Annealing and Al gettering were performed on upgraded metallurgical grade multicrystalline silicon (UMG multi-Si) wafers with a purity of 99.999%. The dislocation and grain boundaries of samples were characterized by optical microscopy and electron back scattering diffraction (EBSD), respectively. The minority carrier lifetime and resistivity of the Si wafers were measured using microwave photoconductance decay and four-point probe techniques, respectively. The results show that the number of dislocations in Si wafers reduced obviously after annealing and Al gettering for 2 hours at 600～1100°C

Abstract:

The knowledge of the structure/property relationship in polycrystalline materials is the basis for successful application of Grain Boundary Engineering. We demonstrate this relationship in the reverse way: from the selective corrosion attack observed in unique sample – loops from excavated necklace dated to the 10th century and manufactured from a Ag–1%Cu alloy – we can deduce the method of manufacturing the objects. Individual grain boundaries in this object were identified by electron back-scattering diffraction. Crystallographic maps of the grain boundaries are confronted with the level of

Abstract The crystallographic and electrical properties of tin monosulfide (SnS) epitaxial thin films grown by RF magnetron sputtering and sulfurization were investigated. The SnS(040)-oriented films were grown on a MgO(100) substrate. Two types of four-fold rotational symmetrical in-plane orientations, offset by 45° from each other, were observed using X-ray diffraction. The rotational symmetry was also observed using cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. The electrical properties of the SnS films were controlled by varying the sulfurization temperature, and the carrier transport

Abstract:

The temperature-dependent resistivity measurements of our Ag – Ni – Si silicide films with 51–343 nm thicknesses are studied as a function of temperature and film thickness over the temperature range of 100–900 K. The most striking behavior is that the variation of the resistivity of the Ag – Ni – Si silicide films with temperature exhibits an unusual temperature-dependent behavior with respect to those of the transition and untransition metals. Our measurements show that the total resistivity of the Ag – Ni – Si silicide films increases linearly with temperature up to a Tm temperature at whic

Abstract:

The low-pressure synthesis of rather pure nanocrystalline diamond films from fullerene precursors suggests that for a small enough grain size the diamond structure may be energetically preferred over graphite. Because of the small grain size of typically about 15 nm in these films, a significant fraction of the carbon atoms is situated in the grain boundaries (GBs). The surprisingly high wear resistance of these films even after the substrate is removed and their high corrosion resistance suggest that the grains are strongly bonded. Grain-boundary carbon is also believed to be responsible for

After usual characterization of these materials, a systematic study of the electrical resistivity both as a function of temperature (80–300 K) and magnetic field up to 7 Tesla was undertaken mainly to understand the conduction mechanism. On analyzing the experimental results, it has been concluded that the metallic (ferromagnetic) part of the resistivity (ρ) (below TP) fits with the equation ρ(T)

Abstract:

Interest in semiconductor grain boundaries relates to the development of polycrystalline materials for photovoltaics and integrated-circuit interconnects. Although these structures are responsible for deleterious electrical effects, there are few experimental techniques available to study them at the required atomic scale. Therefore models of the physical processes occurring at grain boundaries have necessarily taken a macroscopic approach. Fortunately recent developments have resulted in tools that provide unprecedented glimpses into these interfaces and that will allow us to address anew the

Abstract:

The charge carrier behavior and dielectric properties of BaF2:Tb3+ nanocrystals have been studied by alternating current (AC) impedance spectroscopy. The electron and ion coexist in the transport process. The F− ion’s contribution to the total conduction increases with the doping concentration up to 4% and then decreases. Tb doping leads to the increase of defect quantities and a variation of charge carrier transport paths, which causes the increase of the ion diffusion coefficient and the decreases of bulk and grain boundary resistance. When the Tb-doped concentration is higher than 4%, the e

Dependence of the potential barrier between grain boundaries on the carrier concentration has been factored in.
