Thickness measurement of thin films by x-ray absorption
(IEEE, 1991-01)An x-ray diffraction method for determining thicknesses of thin films grown on single-crystal substrates is presented. The equations, based on the kinematical theory of x-ray diffraction and the mosaic crystal model, were ... -
Analysis of the strain profile in thin Au/Ni multilayers by x-ray diffraction
(IEEE, 1992-04-01)The strain relaxation in Au/Ni multilayers was analyzed in detail using a dynamical theory of x-ray diffraction. The depth profile of strain in the modulation direction was determined by an iterative fitting of the calculated ... -
Determination of thickness of multiple layer thin films by an x-ray-diffraction technique
(IEEE, 1994-10-01)An x-ray-diffraction method for determining the thickness of multiple layer thin films grown on a single-crystal substrate is presented. The equations, based on the kinematical theory of x-ray diffraction and the mosaic ... -
X-ray double crystal characterization of single crystal epitaxial aluminum nitride thin films on sapphire, silicon carbide and silicon substrates
(IEEE, 1995-06-01)A detailed double crystal x-ray diffractometry study of epitaxial AlN thin films grown on sapphire, silicon and silicon carbide substrates was carried out to compare the structure, residual stress and defect concentration ... -
Biothermal modeling of post-cryoplasty atherosclerosis in restenotic patients
(Springer, 2007-03)Atherosclerosis is a leading cause of heart diseases and mortality around the world. Recently, cryoplasty has emerged as a potential alternative method to treat arterial atherosclerosis. Finite element heat transfer and ... -
A ferrofluid guided system for the rapid separation of the non-magnetic particles in a microfluidic device
(American Scientific Publishers, 2010-10)A microfluidic device was fabricated via UV lithography technique to separate non-magnetic fluoresbrite carboxy microspheres (approximately 4.5 microm) in the pH 7 ferrofluids made of magnetite nanoparticles (approximately ... -
Effect of thermoplastic toughening agent on glass transition temperature and cure kinetics of an epoxy prepreg
(Springer, 2011)The isothermal time–temperature-transformation (TTT) cure diagram is developed in this article to investigate the effect of thermoplastic toughening agent on glass transition temperature (T g) and cure kinetics of an epoxy ... -
Study of superhydrophobic electrospun nanocomposite fibers for energy systems
(American Chemical Society, 2011-01-18)Polystyrene (PS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) fibers incorporated into TiO(2) nanoparticles and graphene nanoflakes were fabricated by an electrospinning technique, and then the surface morphology and superhydrophobicity ... -
Semi-globally exponential tracking observer/controller for robots with joint hysteresis and without velocity measurement
(Springer, 2011-04)In this work, we consider a multiple degree of freedom robotic plant with joint hysteresis and without velocity measurement. We show, by construction, how a semi-globally exponential hysteresis observer/controller that ... -
Use of a head component tester to evaluate the injury potential of an aircraft head-up display
(Taylor & Francis, 2011-08)Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 25, 25.785 requires that seats and adjacent parts of the airplane be designed so that occupants will not suffer serious injury during an emergency landing as a result of ... -
Evaluation of the kinematics and injury potential to different sizes of pedestrians impacted by a utility vehicle with a frontal guard
(Taylor & Francis, 2011-10-19)A review of accident data reveals that in most pedestrian accidents, the head and lower extremity injuries are the predominant areas of injury to the pedestrian. The vehicle front geometry profile and stiffness, as well ... -
