Reduction of the boron cross-contamination for plasma deposition of p–i–n devices in a single-chamber large area radio-frequency reactor

Christoph Hollenstein, Arvind Shah, Alan Howling, Cédric Bucher, Juliette Ballutaud, Stefano Benagli

In this article, a new treatment to reduce boron contamination of the interface between the p- and i- layer is presented. An ammonia flush, performed at 10 Pa for 1 min, after deposition of the p-layer considerably reduces the boron contamination at the p- ...

Effect of hydrogen on the fracture toughness of the titanium alloys Ti6Al4V and Ti5Al2.5Sn before and after neutron irradiation

Titanium alloys are considered as potential candidate structural materials for the first wall, the blanket and the magnetic coil structures of fusion reactors. Titanium alloys are interesting materials because of their high specific strength and low elasti ...

Performance enhancement by unsteady-state reactor operation: Theoretical analysis for two-sites kinetic model

Albert Renken, Lioubov Kiwi

Theor. anal. of the reactor performance under unsteady-state conditions was carried out. The reactions are described by two kinetic models, which involve the participation in catalytic reaction of two types of active sites. The kinetic model I assumes the ...

The self-hosting structure of beta-Ta

Gervais Chapuis, Alla Arakcheeva

Using electrodeposition from a bath of molten fluorides, single crystals of tetragonal beta-tantalum have been obtained for the first time at normal pressure. The unit-cell parameters are a = 10.211 (3), c = 5.3064 (10) Angstrom, space group P (4) over bar ...

Verification of the membrane reactor concept for the methanol synthesis

Rudolf Paul Wilhelm Jozef Struis

The experimentally observed rise in the single pass methanol production with CO2 and H-2 (T = 200 degreesC, P = 4.3 bar) by in situ product removal over a perm-selective Nafion (R) membrane is verified by model simulations. For this purpose, software was d ...

Hydrogen production by catalytic cracking of methane over nickel gauze under periodic reactor operation

Albert Renken, Lioubov Kiwi

The catalytic cracking of methane over nickel gauze is proposed as an attractive alternative for the prodn. of CO-free hydrogen. The catalyst deactivates due to intensive coke deposition. Therefore, the reactor was operated periodically with the reaction f ...

Enhanced retention of cesium in yttria stabilised zirconia by co-implantation of iodine

Manuel Alexandre Pouchon

The retention behaviour of fission products in the material is therefore of special importance. 1 MeV iodine and cesium ions were implanted into yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and their depth profile was measured by Rutherford Backscattering after subseq ...
