    Notes: Spectroscopic ellipsometry is applied to determine the oxidation resistance of TiN and CrN coatings. This technique proves to provide accurate measurements of the oxide layer thickness in a convenient, fast, and nondestructive manner. The magnetron-sputtered thin films were heated in air in the temperature range between 673 and 925 K. The verification with scanning electron microscopy and x-ray reflectometry shows an excellent agreement between these complementary techniques. The rate constant k of the oxidation is directly related to the film morphology in TiN thin films. While understoichiometric films with a dense fine-grained structure exhibit a moderate k of 4 nm2/s at 773 K, overstoichiometric films with a pronounced columnar structure oxidized over seven times faster. The nonstoichiometry in TiNy and CrNy leads to a reduced activation energy for oxidation compared to stoichiometric compounds. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract: We investigate monolayers of 2-alcohols (2-C9 to 2-C16) obtained by placing a drop of pure alcohol at the water surface. These alcohols are chiral molecules and we study the racemic mixtures. By ellipsometry and surface tension measurements we are able to characterize the 2D crystallization-melting transition with temperature. We find a first order transition. Using X-ray under grazing incidence we show that the racemic mixture crystallizes at 2D on a hexagonal cell. We find a parity effect on the lateral pressure at the transition and on the stability of the Bragg peak. We compare all results with those observed for 1-alcohols.
