This project aims to prove of the feasibility of Silicon Fusion Bonding for fabrication of micro- capillaries for gas cooling down. An optimal recipe for Silicon Fusion Bonding is developed, consisting of four steps: RCA cleaning, surface activation with O ...
Monolayer doping (MLD) of silicon substrates at the nanoscale is a powerful method to provide controlled doses of dopants and defect-free materials. However, this approach requires the deposition of a thick SiO2 cap layer to limit dopant evaporation during ...
Using different homogenization treatments, different initial microchemistry conditions in terms of solid solution levels of Mn, and number densities and sizes of constituents and dispersoids were achieved in an Al-Mn-Fe-Si model alloy. For each homogenized ...
The aim of the work is to study interface formation between Al2O3 particles and Al(Ca) matrix in dependence of Ca content. Aluminium matrix composites (AMC) subjected to investigation were prepared by gas pressure assisted infiltration of alumina beds with ...
A tin dioxide (SnO2) sensor was fabricated by inkjet printing onto polyimide foil. Gold electrodes and heater were printed on each side of the substrate. A SnO2 based ink was developed by sol-gel method and jetted onto the electrodes. A final annealing at ...
We investigated a suspended bilayer graphene where the bottom/top layer is doped by boron/nitrogen substitutional atoms. By using density functional theory calculations, we found that at high dopant concentration (one B-N pair every 32 C atoms), the electr ...
Elongated coarse P{011}-oriented grains are frequently observed after annealing of cold-rolled Al–Mn alloys with a highly supersaturated solid solution level. In this study, important factors affecting the strength of the P-texture component after ann ...
Motivated by an increased focus on recycling of aluminium alloys, for which elements like Mn, Fe and Si tend to increase, a comprehensive investigation of the softening behavior during annealing after cold rolling of Al-Mn-Fe-Si alloys has been carried out ...
A change in strain path may have a significant effect on the mechanical response of metals. In order to understand or even predict the macroscopic behaviour under such conditions a detailed knowledge on the microstructural evolution is crucial. Yet relativ ...
The softening behaviour during non-isothermal annealing of a cold-rolled Al–Mn–Fe–Si model alloy was studied as a function of the state of microchemistry, in terms of the solute level of Mn, size and spatial distribution of the Mn-bearing dispersoids, as w ...
