    Notes: A novel machine has been developed to measure transport coefficients in the temperature range of 50–350 K of thin films deposited on electrically insulating substrates. The measured coefficients—resistivity, Hall, Seebeck, and Nernst—are applied to solutions of the Boltzmann transport equation to give information about the film's density-of-states effective mass, the Fermi energy level, and an energy-dependent scattering parameter. The machine is designed to eliminate or compensate for simultaneously occurring transport phenomena that would interfere with the desired measured quantity, while allowing for all four coefficients to be measured on the same sample. An average density-of-states effective mass value of 0.29±0.04me was measured on the transparent conductive oxide, cadmium stannate (CTO), over a carrier concentration range of 2–7×1020 cm−3. This effective mass value matched previous results obtained by optical and thermoelectric modeling. The measured scattering parameter indicates that neutral impurities or a mixture of scattering mechanisms may inhibit the transport of carriers in CTO. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: [Auszug] Jupiter's aurora is the most powerful in the Solar System. It is powered largely by energy extracted from planetary rotation, although there seems also to be a contribution from the solar wind. This contrasts with Earth's aurora, which is generated through the interaction of the solar wind with ...

    Notes: In a modern plasma etching device, the plasma sheath potential is usually superposed by an externally driven oscillating voltage to enhance and control the bombarding ion energy. A collisionless particle simulation is used to study the variation of average kinetic energy 〈K〉(νrf) of bombarding ions as a function of a wide range of sheath oscillation frequency νrf (0.1νpi≤νrf≤10νpi, where νpi is the ion plasma frequency). It is found that a resonance phenomenon between the ion transit motion and the sheath oscillation can yield a strongly peaked enhancement of 〈K〉(νrf) near νrf(similar, equals)0.5νpi. Ion species with different mass show the peaks at different νrf. The relative importance of different ion molecules in an ion-enhanced etching process will be sensitive to νrf. This phenomenon may allow a reduction of the undesirable capacitive coupling by optimizing νrf to yield an enhanced 〈K〉 of desired ion species at low applied voltages. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Electronic structure calculations predict Ag3AuTe2 to be a small-band-gap semiconductor. Polycrystalline samples of the pure and doped materials have been synthesized, and the physical properties are reported. Thermoelectric power measurements indicate that pure Ag3AuTe2 is a p-type material with a very large room-temperature Seebeck coefficient of 530 μV/K. The thermal conductivity is very low, and at room temperature, is lower than that of the best thermoelectrics. The transport properties were found to be very sensitive to chemical doping and nonstoichiometry. Although samples made with excess Ag resulted in improved thermoelectric performance at higher temperatures (〉500 K), the large resistivity of these materials makes them noncompetitive with state-of-the-art thermoelectrics. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The thermoelectric properties of the pure and doped half-Heusler compounds FeVSb and FeNbSb are reported. The electrical resistivities are between 0.2 and 20 mΩ cm at room temperature. Thermoelectric power measurements indicate that FeVSb is an n-type material with moderate Seebeck coefficients near −70 μV/K at 300 K. The thermal conductivity at room temperature is large, approximately 0.1 W/cm K, and increases with decreasing temperature. Chemical substitutions, which have a dramatic effect on the transport properties, were performed in an effort to enhance the thermoelectric performance. Band-structure calculations are presented for the pure materials. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Polycrystalline thin films of Zn2SnO4 were deposited by rf magnetron sputtering onto glass substrates. Films were characterized by θ–2θ x-ray diffraction and by 119Sn conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy. The films were randomly oriented in a cubic spinel structure. Comparison of x-ray diffraction peak intensities with structure-factor-calculated peak intensities confirmed that the films were in an inverse spinel configuration. Mössbauer studies detected two distinct Sn4+ octahedral sites. These distinct sites may be induced by distortions in the lattice associated with equally distinct Zn2+ octahedral sites. A model is suggested to explain that the relatively low electron mobility of Zn2SnO4 may be associated with disorder on the cation octahedral sites. This may disrupt transport between edge-sharing d10s0 electronically configured cations. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation direct write was investigated by ultrahigh speed optical microscopy. A composite barium–zirconium titanate/α-terpineol layer was irradiated by 355 nm laser pulses with a 150 ns pulse width, and it was observed that material removal does not begin until after the end of the pulse (t〉200 ns) and continues for 1 μs after the irradiation. The desorption plume consists of micron-size particles moving with a velocity of ∼0.2 km/s. The slow response is attributed to the combination of particle absorbers and highly viscous fluid. The ability to form continuous, pinhole-free coatings is due to slow coalescence of the particles. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A fourteen-fold anisotropy in the spin transport efficiency parallel and perpendicular to the charge transport is observed in a vertically biased (Ga, Mn)As-based spin-polarized light emitting diode. The spin polarization is determined by measuring the polarization of electroluminescence from an (In, Ga)As quantum well placed a distance d (20–420 nm) below the p-type ferromagnetic (Ga, Mn)As contact. In addition, a monotonic increase (from 0.5% to 7%) in the polarization is measured as d decreases for collection parallel to the growth direction, while the in-plane polarization from the perpendicular direction (∼0.5%) remains unchanged. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: When a turbulent flow of a carrier gas is passed over a liquid anaesthetic agent contained in a vaporiser of Goldman design, evaporation from the cooled surface leads rapidly to a succession of fluid instabilities which set in at characteristic critical conditions. An initially quiescent boundary layer at the surface is sequentially replaced by a thin layer of toroidal (Bénard–Marangoni) convection cells which are driven by surface tension gradients. These are then augmented by Rayleigh–Bénard convection driven by gravity, the whole process terminating in intermittent columnar plunging of cold fluid from a chaotic surface layer of pulsating thickness to the base of the liquid pool. Residual striations from these plunging columns persist throughout the bulk of the liquid so long as evaporation continues. The ultimate state is then one in which turbulence occurs throughout both liquid and vapour phases. In this paper, a semiquantitative analysis of the system dynamics is given with supportive experimental evidence where possible.
