Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology a-Vacuum Surfaces and Films
Chromium nitride (CrN) films were deposited on Si wafers by arc ion plating (AIP) at various negative bias voltages and several groups of N-2/Ar gas flux ratios and chamber gas pressures. The authors systematically investigated the influence of negative bias voltage on the synthesis, composition, microstructure, and properties of the AIP CrN films. In this part (Part I), the investigations were mainly focused on the macroparticle distributions and film-growth characteristics. The results showed that macroparticle densities on the film surfaces decreased greatly by applying negative bias voltage, which can be affected by partial pressure of N-2 and Ar gases. From the statistical analysis of the experimental results, they proposed a new hybrid mechanism of ion bombardment and electrical repulsion. Also, the growth of the AIP CrN films was greatly altered by applying negative bias voltage. By increasing the bias voltage, the film surfaces became much smoother and the films evolved from apparent columnar microstructures to an equiaxed microstructure. The impinging high-energy Cr ions accelerated by negative bias voltages were deemed the inherent reason for the evolution of growth characteristics. (c) 2008 American Vacuum Society.

Cyclic deformation behavior of Cu-30% Zn single crystals oriented for single slip was studied at constant plastic shear strain amplitudes (gamma(pl)) in the range of 3.8 x 10(-5)-6.4 x 10(-3) in order to understand systematically the fundamental fatigue behavior of low stacking fault energy materials. Results indicate that the cyclic hardening behavior strongly depends on the strain amplitude applied. For low strain amplitudes (gamma(pl) <3 x 10(-4)), cyclic saturation occurred after an initial cyclic hardening stage, but for high strain amplitudes (gamma(pl) greater than or equal to 6.0 x 10(-4)) saturation could not be reached until fatigue failure. The initial cyclic hardening rate (theta(0.2)) was found to decrease with increase in the applied strain amplitude. Slip bands were found to behave very similarly to Luders band appearance at the beginning as well as in the middle stage of cyclic deformation. Particularly, the similarity of the cyclic hardening behavior at low and high strain amplitudes to the work hardening response in stages I and II of tensile deformation of the same alloy has been pointed out. Cyclic stress was further decomposed into two terms, the effective stress and the internal stress, and both were found to increase continuously with cyclic deformation. It has been demonstrated that the activities of secondary slips played an important role in the continuous cyclic hardening at high gamma(pl). A comparison of the present result with previous relevant work on both wavy and planar slip materials has been attempted. The transition of wavy slip mode to planar slip mode of Cu-Al and Cu-Zn alloys has been discussed in terms of the electron-atom ratio and the critical Value of the ratio for such a transition is found to be 1.18-1.19 for both alloys.

Electrochemical capacitors (ECs) store energy in eletric double-layers formed along the interface of electrode material and electrolyte, this produces an extremely large capacitance compared with the traditional capacitors. The fundamental principles of electrochemical capacitors are briefly introduced, and the key materials used like electrode materials, electrolytes, separator and current collector materials are summarized. Electrochemical capacitors with pseudocapacitance, such as metal oxides, polymers and hybrid capacitors, are also discussed. The characteristics, possible application fields, the development state, the future R&D prospects for electrochemical capacitors are highlighted.

Within the framework of the linear spin wave approximation, the quantum fluctuations of spins at zero temperature in four-sublattice ferrimagnetic systems are studied by employing retard Green's functions. The effects of exchange constants on the quantum fluctuations of spins are discussed for three different spin-configurations. The magnetic properties of these spin configurations are related to their magnetically structural symmetry. When the parameters of the exchange couplings are adjusted, the crossover of the spin configurations results in the strong quantum fluctuations, owing to the behaviors of the non-three-dimensional magnetically system. When two of the four exchange-constants in the present four-sublattice bulk systems are set to be zero, the system behaves as a non-three-dimensionally magnetic system, although the structure of the system is still three-dimensional. All the exchange couplings involve in the quantum competition of the systems, but the effects of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic exchange couplings are different evidently. The antiferromagnetic exchange couplings play an important role in a balance of the quantum competition.
