Integrated Magnetic-free Nitride Optical Isolator

Tobias Kippenberg, Rui Ning Wang, Anat Siddharth, Junqiu Liu, Jijun He

We demonstrated an integrated magnetic-free optical isolator for Si3N4 photonics using AlN piezoelectric actuators via spatio-temporal modulation. By entering into the strong mode coupling regime, maximum of 9dB isolation and

Structural and microstructural studies on SiC-SiO2 ceramic composites

Ho-Yun Lee

In this study, SiC ceramic substrates were prepared with 99.5% silicon carbide powders which were came from waste silicon mud during the manufacturing process of solar cells. It is found that a SiO2 layer with 50 nm in thickness is present on the SiC surfa ...

Strength and fracture of silicon second-phase particles in aluminium casting alloys

Martin Guillermo Mueller

The mechanical behaviour of metallic materials that have a microstructure composed of a brittle phase embedded in a ductile matrix is dictated by a complex interplay of factors such as local phase properties, cohesive properties, geometrical characteristic ...

Rational Catalyst Design for Selective Hydrogenations : Nitroarenes and Alkynes as Case Studies

Daniel André Samuel Lamey

Catalyst design for selective hydrogenations is of major importance for the manufacturing of fine chemicals. Catalytic procedure which uses scarce and expensive noble metals is very challenging in terms of exclusive attack of a single functionality or subs ...

High Temperature Behavior of Nano-Structured Ceramic Composites Studied by Mechanical Spectroscopy

Mehdi Mazaheri

Silicon nitride based ceramics (SiAlONs); tetragonal polycrystalline zirconia (3Y‐TZP); alumina and their composites reinforced with different amount of multi‐ walled carbon‐nanotubes (CNTs) have been processed by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). High tempera ...

Interface Investigations on Titanium Nitride Bilayer Systems

Dominik Anwar Jaeger

Nanocomposite coatings composed of two phases with atomically sharp phase boundaries, show interesting mechanical properties. These properties are often originating from their high interface to volume ratio. Composites of nanocrystalline titanium nitride ( ...

Studying the Formation of Ni3C from CO and Metallic Ni at T=265 degrees C in Situ Using Ni K-Edge X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy

Christian Ludwig, Rudolf Paul Wilhelm Jozef Struis, Alexander Wokaun

Metallic Ni nanopowder (Ni-0) was monitored during 23 h of carburization (2CO + 3Ni(0) - Ni3C + CO2, T = 265 degrees C) using Ni K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction analysis made afterward at room temperature revealed 28 +/- 3% Ni3C amo ...

Fabrication and functionalization of nanochannels by electron-beam-induced silicon oxide deposition

Jürgen Brugger, Horst Vogel, Christian Santschi, Christophe Danelon

We report on the fabrication and electrical characterization of functionalized solid-state nanopores in low stress silicon nitride membranes. First, a pore of approximately 50 nm diameter was drilled using a focused ion beam technique, followed by the loca ...
