Webber heading the func- tional ceramics department. Together with two research fellows from his DFG funded Emmy- Noether-Group he started his research activities in the field of ferroelectric ceramics. After transfer of unique experimental facilities from TU Darmstadt to FAU Erlangen his experimental equipment is ready for work. In the glass department (Prof. Dominique de Ligny) research centers on a better understanding of light interaction with glass as well as response to external stress. Laser glass interaction is ex- plored for new functionalization of glass by surface texturing. The disordered structure of glass imposes the development of specific instrumentation as vibrational spectroscopy. A new setup coupling Raman and Brillouin spectroscopy as well as a calorimeter allows new and unique pro- spective ways. In the biomaterials department (Prof. Stephan E. Wolf), the DFG funded Emmy-Noether- Research Group on biomimetic materials started the research activities after completing the refur- nishment of the laboratories. Work is focused on identifying the process-structure-property rela- tionships in biominerals and subsequent in vitro mimesis by biomimetic crystallization at ambient conditions. Initial results were published in Nature Communications (see publications). Work of the research group on cellular ceramics (Dr. Tobias Fey) is centered on microstruc- ture characterisation applying X-ray microtomography and testing of the mechanical and thermal properties of cellular ceramics. Massive strain amplification lattice structures were investigated by experimental and theoretical approaches.

  • Topological Phases, Boson Mode, Immiscibility Window and Structural
    Topological Phases, Boson mode, Immiscibility window and Structural Groupings in Ba-Borate and Ba-Borosilicate glasses A dissertation submitted to Division of Research and Advanced Studies University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) In the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computing Systems Of the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences October 2015 by Chad Holbrook M.S., University of Cincinnati, 2007 B.S., Northern Kentucky University, 2003 Committee Chair: Punit Boolchand, Ph.D. i Abstract In a dry ambient,(BaO)x(B2O3)100-x (a pseudo-binary glass system) were synthesized over a wide composition range, 0 mol% < x < 40 mol% , by utilizing induction melting precursors. These high quality glasses were comprehensively examined in Modulated DSC, Raman Scattering, Infrared reflectance experiments. Raman Scattering experiments and the analysis of the symmetric stretch of intra-ring Boron-Oxygen (BO) bonds (A1’) of characteristic “mixed-rings”, permits the identification of Medium Range Structure (MRS) which form in the titled glasses. These modes consist of a triad of modes (705 cm-1, 740 cm-1 and 770 cm-1), and their scattering strengths display a positive correlation to the nucleation of characteristic structural groupings (SGs); analogous to structural groupings found in the corresponding crystalline phases of Barium-Tetraborate (x = 20 mol%), and Barium-Diborate (x = 33 mol%). Identification of the SG’s permit an understanding of the extended range structure apparent in these modified borate glasses. Furthermore, a microscopic understanding of the Immiscibility range in the titled glasses in the 0 mol% < x < 15 mol% range, can be traced to the deficiency of Barium that prohibits nucleation of the Barium-Tetraborate species.

From flood plain of Lhasa He, and from flood plain of much larger Yarlung Zangbo to the south (see figs. 2, 3, 13), large dust storms and sand storms originate today and are common in capitol city of Lhasa.

If the photon energy of the femtosecond pulses lies below the material bandgap, nonlinear absorption rather than linear absorption becomes the dominant mechanism of energy transfer to the material.

Ge2Sb2Te5 is reversible-phase-change mate- rial (amorphous to crystalline and vice versa) that is used for optical data storage and phase-change random-access memory and has recently been explored for use as a reversible near-infrared (NIR) win- dow [Singh et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 111, 261102 (2017)]. For a reversible NIR window, large transmission contrast between two phases and low phase-transition temperature are required to reduce the power con- ( ) = sumption. In the present work, phase transition in thermally deposited Ge2Sb2Te5 100−xAgx (x 0, 1, 3, 5, and 10) thin films is achieved by vacuum thermal annealing. Transmission sharply decreases with phase transition in the NIR region.

  • Phase-Change Properties of Gesbte Thin Films Deposited by Plasma
    Song et al. Nanoscale Research Letters (2015) 10:89 DOI 10.1186/s11671-015-0815-5 NANO EXPRESS Open Access Phase-change properties of GeSbTe thin films deposited by plasma-enchanced atomic layer depositon Sannian Song1*, Dongning Yao1, Zhitang Song1, Lina Gao2, Zhonghua Zhang1,LeLi1, Lanlan Shen1, Liangcai Wu1, Bo Liu1, Yan Cheng1 and Songlin Feng1 Abstract Phase-change access memory (PCM) appears to be the strongest candidate for next-generation high-density nonvolatile memory. The fabrication of ultrahigh-density PCM depends heavily on the thin-film growth technique for the phase-changing chalcogenide material. In this study, Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) and GeSb8Te thin films were deposited by plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (ALD) method using Ge [(CH3)2 N]4,Sb[(CH3)2 N]3,Te (C4H9)2 as precursors and plasma-activated H2 gas as reducing agent of the metallorganic precursors. Compared with GST-based device, GeSb8Te-based device exhibits a faster switching speed and reduced reset voltage, which is attributed to the growth-dominated crystallization mechanism of the Sb-rich GeSb8Te films. These results show that ALD is an attractive method for preparation of phase-change materials.

  • Development, Characterization and Dissolution Behavior of Calcium
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Development, characterization and dissolution behavior of calcium- aluminoborate glass wasteforms to Received: 11 October 2017 Accepted: 12 March 2018 immobilize rare-earth oxides Published: xx xx xxxx Miae Kim1,2, Claire L. Corkhill2, Neil C. Hyatt2 & Jong Heo1 Calcium-aluminoborate (CAB) glasses were developed to sequester new waste compositions made of several rare-earth oxides generated from the pyrochemical reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. Several important wasteform properties such as waste loading, processability and chemical durability were evaluated. The maximum waste loading of the CAB compositions was determined to be ~56.8 wt%. Viscosity and the electrical conductivity of the CAB melt at 1300 °C were 7.817 Pa·s and 0.4603 S/cm, respectively, which satisfes the conditions for commercial cold-crucible induction melting (CCIM) process. Addition of rare-earth oxides to CAB glasses resulted in dramatic decreases in the elemental releases of B and Ca in aqueous dissolution experiments. Normalized elemental releases from product consistency standard chemical durability test were <3.62·10−5 g·m−2 for Nd, 0.009 g·m−2 for Al, 0.067 g·m−2 for B and 0.073 g·m−2 for Ca (at 90, after 7 days, for SA/V = 2000m−1); all meet European and US regulation limits. After 20 d of dissolution, a hydrated alteration layer of ~ 200-nm-thick, Ca- depleted and Nd-rich, was formed at the surface of CAB glasses with 20 mol% Nd2O3 whereas boehmite [AlO(OH)] secondary crystalline phases were formed in pure CAB glass that contained no Nd2O3.
