Quantitative AES, XPS and RBS determination of intergranular bismuth coverage in copper bicrystals at 500°C

Vincent Laporte

We report on a comparative measurement of intergranular bismuth coverage on a copper substrate using Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS). Bicrystalline copper samples we ...

Green oxidation catalysts: computational design of high-efficiency models of galactose oxidase

Leonardo Guidoni

Ab initio calcns. were used for the rational design of efficient alc. oxidn. catalysts that mimic the enzyme galactose oxidase. Different ligand substitutions were explored based on natural (copper, depicted) and alternative (rhodium) metal redox centers. ...

Reliable laser micro-spot welding of copper

René Salathé, Thomas Sidler, Simone Amorosi

Nd:YAG laser welding of high reflectivity metals is difficult because of the highly non-linear light-material interaction yielding a narrow process window and poor reliability. However, achieving high reliability is mandatory for applying this technique in ...

Trifluoromethyl-substituted pyridines through displacement of iodine by in situ generated (trifluoromethyl)copper

Fabrice Cottet

A literature method reported for the prepn. of trifluoromethyl substituted benzenes from iodobenzene and congeners was successfully extended to the pyridine series. 2-Iodopyridines can be converted into 2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridines almost quant. by displac ...

Selective low-pressure chemical vapor deposition of copper and platinum

Hubert van den Bergh

The low-pressure chem. vapor deposition of copper and platinum was studied on SiO2 substrates which had been locally prenucleated with ultrathin metal layers of Pt, Cu, Pd, Au, and W. These layers were between 0.1 and 30 .ANG. thick and were produced by va ...
