  • Thermal Shock
    TEACHER INSTRUCTIONS Thermal Shock Objective: To illustrate thermal expansion and thermal shock. Background Information: In physics, thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to increase in volume or pressure when heated. For liquids and solids, the amount of expansion will normally vary depending on the material’s coefficient of thermal expansion. When materials contract, tensile forces are created. When things expand, compressive forces are created. Thermal shock is the name given to cracking as a result of rapid temperature change. From the laboratory standpoint, there are three main types of glass used today: borosilicate, quartz, and soda lime or flint glass. Borosilicate glass is made to withstand thermal shock better than most other glass through a combination of reduced expansion coefficient and greater strength, though fused quartz outperforms it in both respects. Some glass-ceramic materials include a controlled proportion of material with a negative expansion coefficient, so that the overall coefficient can be reduced to almost exactly zero over a reasonably wide range of temperatures. Improving the shock resistance of glass and ceramics can be achieved by improving the strength of the materials or by reducing its tendency to uneven expansion. One example of success in this area is Pyrex, the brand name that is well known to most consumers as cookware, but which is also used to manufacture laboratory glassware. Pyrex traditionally is made with a borosilicate glass with the addition of boron, which prevents shock by reducing the tendency of glass to expand. Demo description: Three different types of glass rods will be heated so that students can observe the amount of thermal shock that occurs.

  • Ultradeep Fused Silica Glass Etching with an HF- Resistant Photosensitive Resist for Optical Imaging Applications
    Ultradeep fused silica glass etching with an HF- resistant photosensitive resist for optical imaging applications John M Nagarah and Daniel A Wagenaar Broad Fellows Program and Division of Biology California Institute of Technology 1200 E. California Blvd. MC 216-76 Pasadena, CA 91125 [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Microfluidic and optical sensing platforms are commonly fabricated in glass and fused silica (quartz) because of their optical transparency and chemical inertness. Hydrofluoric acid (HF) solutions are the etching media of choice for deep etching into silicon dioxide substrates, but processing schemes become complicated and expensive for etching times greater than 1 hour due to the aggressiveness of HF migration through most masking materials. We present here etching into fused silica more than 600 μm deep while keeping the substrate free of pits and maintaining a polished etched surface suitable for biological imaging. We utilize an HF-resistant photosensitive resist (HFPR) which is not attacked in 49% HF solution. Etching characteristics are compared for substrates masked with the HFPR alone and the HFPR patterned on top of Cr/Au and polysilicon masks. We used this etching process to fabricate suspended fused silica membranes, 8–16 μm thick, and show that imaging through the membranes does not negatively affect image quality of fluorescence microscopy of biological tissue. Finally, we realize small through-pore arrays in the suspended membranes. Such devices will have applications in planar electrophysiology platforms, especially where optical imaging is required. 1. Introduction Glass and fused silica are appealing materials for constructing microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), lab-on-a-chip, and microfluidic platforms due to their chemical inertness, biocompatibility, optical transparency, mechanical rigidity, high melting point, electrical insulation, gas impermeability, and ability to bond to silicon, glass, and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) [1-3].

  • Investigation of Light Output Uniformity and Performance Using a UV
    Investigation of light output uniformity and performance using a UV transmitting glass optic to improve cure quality Brian Jasenak, Rachel Willsey, Adam Willsey, James Forish Kopp Glass 2108 Palmer Street Pittsburgh, PA 15218 ABSTRACT Ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV LED) adoption is accelerating; they are being used in new applications such as UV curing, germicidal irradiation, nondestructive testing, and forensic analysis. In many of these applications, it is critically important to produce a uniform light distribution and consistent surface irradiance. Flat panes of fused quartz, silica, or glass are commonly used to cover and protect multi-UV LED arrays. However, they don’t offer the advantages of an optical lens design. An investigation was conducted to determine the effect of a secondary glass optic on the uniformity of the light distribution and irradiance. Glass optics capable of transmitting UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C wavelengths can improve light distribution and intensity. In this study, a UV transmitting glass formulation and secondary linear optic were designed and manufactured to demonstrate their effects on achievable irradiance intensity and uniformity. Prismatic patterning on the light source surface of the lens was used to minimize reflection losses on the incident surface of the glass. Fresnel optics were molded into the opposite side of the UV transmitting glass to control the refraction of the light and to gain the desired light intensity distribution from two multi-UV LED arrays. A 20% increase in relative irradiance was observed while maintaining the same coverage area. This work discusses the optical design and the resulting benefits of controlled light output on UV LED systems, which include reduced driving current, decreased thermal deterioration, improved energy efficiency, and longer LED lifetime.

  • VSMOW Triple Point of Water Cells: Borosilicate Versus Fused-Quartz
    VSMOW Triple Point of Water Cells: Borosilicate versus Fused- Quartz M. Zhao1,3 and G. F. Strouse 2 1 Fluke Corporation, Hart Scientific Division, American Fork, Utah 84003, U.S.A. 2 National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899, U.S.A. 3 To whom correspondence should be addressed. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT To investigate an ideal container material for the triple point of water (TPW) cell, and reduce the influence to the triple-point temperature due to the deviation of the isotopic composition of the water, we developed and tested both borosilicate and fused-quartz glass shelled TPW cells with isotopic composition substantially matching that of Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water (VSMOW). Through a specially designed manufacturing system, the isotopic composition, δD and δ18O, of the water in the TPW cell could be controlled within ±10‰ (per mil) and ±1.5‰ respectively, resulting in control of the isotopic temperature correction to better than ±8 µK. Through an ampoule attached to the cell, the isotopic composition of the water in the cell could be analyzed individually. After manufacture, the initial triple-point temperature of the two types of cell were measured and compared to assess the quality of the cells and manufacturing process. Cells fabricated with the new system agree to within 50 µK. Two innovatively-designed borosilicate and fused-quartz TPW cells were made, each with six attached ampoules. We removed one ampoule every six months to track any changes in purity of the water over time. KEY WORDS: isotopic composition; ITS-90, TPW cell; Vienna standard mean ocean water; VSMOW; water impurities; water triple point.

Optical Properties ... Semiconductor Grade Fused Quartz Tubing In the semiconductor industry a combination of extreme purity and excellent high temperature properties make fused quartz tubing an ideal furnace chamber for processing silicon wafers. The material can tolerate the wide temperature gradients and high heat rates of the process. And its purity creates the low contamination environment required for achieving high wafer yields. The advent of eight inch wafers combined with today's smaller chip sizes has increased chip production by a factor of four compared to technology in place just a few years ago. These developments have impacted heavily on quartz produced, requiring both large diameter tubing and significantly higher levels of purity. GE Quartz. has responded on both counts. Quartz tubing is available in a full range of sizes, including diameters of 400mm and larger. Diameter and wall thickness dimensions are tightly controlled. Special heavy wall thicknesses are available on request. By finding new and better sources of raw material, expanding and modernizing our production facilities, and upgrading our quality control functions, GE has reduced contaminants levels in its fused quartz tubing to less than 25 ppm, with alkali levels below 1 ppm. Grade 214LD This is the large diameter grade of industry standard 214 quartz tubing. For all but the highly specialized operations, this low cost tubing offers the levels of purity, sag resistance, furnace life and other properties that diffusion and CVD processes require.

  • Observing Photons in Space
    —1— Observing photons in space For the truth of the conclusions of physical science, observation is the supreme court of appeals Sir Arthur Eddington Martin C.E. HuberI, Anuschka PauluhnI and J. Gethyn TimothyII Abstract This first chapter of the book ‘Observing Photons in Space’ serves to illustrate the rewards of observing photons in space, to state our aims, and to introduce the structure and the conventions used. The title of the book reflects the history of space astronomy: it started at the high-energy end of the electromagnetic spectrum, where the photon aspect of the radiation dominates. Nevertheless, both the wave and the photon aspects of this radiation will be considered extensively. In this first chapter we describe the arduous efforts that were needed before observations from pointed, stable platforms, lifted by rocket above the Earth’s atmosphere, became the matter of course they seem to be today. This exemplifies the direct link between technical effort — including proper design, construction, testing and calibration — and some of the early fundamental insights gained from space observations. We further report in some detail the pioneering work of the early space astronomers, who started with the study of γ- and X-rays as well as ultraviolet photons. We also show how efforts to observe from space platforms in the visible, infrared, sub-millimetre and microwave domains developed and led to today’s emphasis on observations at long wavelengths. The aims of this book This book conveys methods and techniques for observing photons1 in space. ‘Observing’ photons implies not only detecting them, but also determining their direction at arrival, their energy, their rate of arrival, and their polarisation.
