Structure Study Of Al+Al2o3 Composite By Atomic Force Microscopy, D. S. Koleukh, A. S. Kaygorodov, S. V. Zayats, S. N. Paranin

Eurasian Journal of Physics and Functional Materials

The structure of a metal matrix composite based on aluminum containing 6, 17 and 24 wt % Al2 O3 was studied by atomic force microscopy. The composite was prepared by the method of magneticpulse compaction from aluminum nanopowder obtained by the electric wire explosion method. The samples compacted at 400 ◦ C have more clearly expressed grain boundaries than those obtained at room temperature. The structure of a composite subjected to dynamic plastic deformation is studied.


Some Radiation Effects In Ii-Vi Quantum Dots, M. B. Sharibaev, Q. A. Ismailov Dec 2018

Some Radiation Effects In Ii-Vi Quantum Dots, M. B. Sharibaev, Q. A. Ismailov

Eurasian Journal of Physics and Functional Materials

The effect of electron irradiation (E=0.6-1.8 MeV) on the optical characteristics (photoluminescence, PL) of CdTe/ZnTe structures with quantum dots, QDs, was investigated in the temperature range from 4.2 to 250 K. The data on the influence of irradiation on the temperature dependence of PL intensity, energy position and PL line width, W, from QDs were obtained. The narrowing of PL band and the blue shift of the QD peak position are explained by quenching of the low energy component connected with larger QDs. A slight decrease in PL intensity for both QDs and the buffer ZnTe layer as well as …

Eurasian Journal of Physics and Functional Materials

The paper considers the influence of a transition amorphous layer at the interface between the higher manganese silicide (HMS) Mn 4 Si 7 and silicon doped with manganese (Si ) on the photoelectric properties of heterostructures. The role of the initial structural defects in the near-surface layers of the single-crystal silicon on the penetration of manganese atoms into Si upon doping from the gas phase is shown.It has been established that at high temperatures (T>1050 ◦ C) Mn atoms deposited on the silicon surface group together (due to surface diffusion), forming droplets of liquid manganese, which dissolve the near-surface …


Combining Atomic Force Microscopy And Shear-Force Acoustic Near-Field Microscopy To Characterize Confined Mesoscopic Fluids, Monte Allen Kozell, Theodore Brockman, Andres H. La Rosa Dec 2018

Combining Atomic Force Microscopy And Shear-Force Acoustic Near-Field Microscopy To Characterize Confined Mesoscopic Fluids, Monte Allen Kozell, Theodore Brockman, Andres H. La Rosa

Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations

An atomic force microscopy (AFM) cantilever is integrated into to a quartz tuning fork (QTF) to probe the viscoelastic properties of mesoscopic fluid layers confined between two solid surfaces under shear. Two procedures to fabricate the AFM/QTF probe are described herein. In the first, a nano-manipulator is used to transport a commercially available afm cantilever from its chip holder to the edge of a QTF tine. In the second, an afm cantilever is fabricated at the edge of the QTF tine itself. In both cases we exploit the capabilities of a dual-beam system (focused ion beam/scanning electron microscope), equipped with …


Investigation Of The Acoustic Response Of A Confined Mesoscopic Water Film Utilizing A Combined Atomic Force Microscope And Shear Force Microscope Technique, Monte Allen Kozell Jul 2018

Investigation Of The Acoustic Response Of A Confined Mesoscopic Water Film Utilizing A Combined Atomic Force Microscope And Shear Force Microscope Technique, Monte Allen Kozell

Dissertations and Theses

An atomic force microscopy beam-like cantilever is combined with an electrical tuning fork to form a shear force probe that is capable of generating an acoustic response from the mesoscopic water layer under ambient conditions while simultaneously monitoring force applied in the normal direction and the electrical response of the tuning fork shear force probe. Two shear force probes were designed and fabricated. A gallium ion beam was used to deposit carbon as a probe material. The carbon probe material was characterized using energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy. The probes were experimentally validated by demonstrating the …

A Micro-cantilever (MC) and a probe are two main components of the atomic force microscope (AFM). The dimensions of these components are in micro scales while their oscillation amplitude is on a nanometer scale. The present study intended to not only increase the accuracy of the simulation with regard to geometric discontinuities based on the Timoshenko Beam Model using the modified couple stress (MCS) theory but also increase the accuracy of the prediction of a system behavior by considering the effect hysteresis effect into the system vibration equations based on Bouc-Wen Model. Due to the lack of the experimental results …


Effects Of Edge Inclination Angles On Whispering-Gallery Modes In Printable Wedge Microdisk Lasers, Cong Chen, Lei Wan, Hengky Chandrahalim Jan 2018

Effects Of Edge Inclination Angles On Whispering-Gallery Modes In Printable Wedge Microdisk Lasers, Cong Chen, Lei Wan, Hengky Chandrahalim

Faculty Publications

The ink-jet technique was developed to print the wedge polymer microdisk lasers. The characterization of these lasers was implemented using a free-space optics measurement setup. It was found that disks of larger edge inclination angles have a larger free spectral range (FSR) and a lower resonance wavelength difference between the fundamental transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) whispering-gallery modes (WGMs). This behavior was also confirmed with simulations based on the modified Oxborrow’s model with perfectly matched layers (PMLs), which was adopted to accurately calculate the eigenfrequencies, electric field distributions, and quality parameters of modes in the axisymmetric microdisk resonators. …


Size Investigation Of Silicon Nanoclusters Deposited On Hopg Using Noncontact Atomic Force Microscopy, Mümi̇n Mehmet Koç Jan 2018

Size Investigation Of Silicon Nanoclusters Deposited On Hopg Using Noncontact Atomic Force Microscopy, Mümi̇n Mehmet Koç

Turkish Journal of Physics

The sizes of silicon nanoparticles produced using two different novel methods are investigated in this report. The method of production used to generate silicon oxide nanoparticles was achieved via gas aggregation codeposition with water on a cold target, and also via a liquid jet method. The nanoparticles were drop-cast on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) substrate and assessed using ultrahigh vacuum atomic force microscopy (AFM). Noncontact constant force mode was used in the AFM investigations. The silicon nanoparticles produced using the gas aggregation and water codeposition method were found to be smaller than 2 nm. A degree of deviation …
