We studied the effect of annealing on the luminescence of Coumarin 106 (C106) in poly (vinyl alcohol) films (PVA films). The samples and reference polymer films were treated at temperatures between 100 °C and 150 °C (212 F and 302 F) for various times. After cooling and smoothing, the samples and references were measured at room temperature. We obs...

ZnS films were deposited on Si and quartz substrates via pulsed laser deposition, and the structure, morphology and photoelectric characteristics of as-deposited and annealed ZnS films were compared. X-ray diffractometer results show that ZnS films are polycrystalline, and the intensity of peak at 28.4° on Si is larger, with a narrower FWHM. atomic...

Combinatorial optimization problems can be solved by heuristic algorithms such as simulated annealing (SA) which aims to find the optimal solution within a large search space through thermal fluctuations. This algorithm generates new solutions through Markov-chain Monte Carlo techniques which can result in severe limitations, such as slow convergen...

Ion implantation controls the diffusion of the dopants inside the n-Fz Si bulk of the p+n Si microstrip detector. In order to understand about the diffusion mechanism of BF2 + molecules/dopants into the n-Fz Si bulk of Double Sided Silicon Strip Detector (back side) for the R3B Silicon Tracker, it is essential to know the precise information about ...

Quantum annealing (QA) is a continuous-time heuristic quantum algorithm for solving or approximately solving classical optimization problems. The algorithm uses a schedule to interpolate between a driver Hamiltonian with an easy-to-prepare ground state and a problem Hamiltonian whose ground state encodes solutions to an optimization problem. The st...

Probing the formation of sol-gel mesoporous films and characterizing them under environmental/in-operando conditions represents an important challenge to optimize their performances. Obtaining a complete picture of the system usually requires a combination of multiple techniques. In this work, we introduce in situ infrared (IR) ellipsometry equippe...

The current investigation explores the effect of cryogenic treatment on the microstructural and corrosion behavior of CrMoV low-alloy steels. The casted samples in the required dimensions were treated by annealing followed by deep cryogenic treatment (DCT). Initially, the microstructural modification brought by combined treatments was studied using...

In this work, the effect of annealing on the physical properties of Co-doped ZnO thin films has been explored. The Co doping level was fixed at 10 weight (wt) % and deposition has been performed using spray pyrolysis techniques. The deposited film was annealed at temperatures of 400, 450, and 500 °C under an air stream of 5 L min−1. The effect of a...

AZO(ZnO/Al2O3) conductive films were deposited in the microchannel of microchannel plate (MCP) by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The prepared films were characterized, including analysis of the thickness and composition uniformity of AZO films. The MCP bulk resistance was also measured, and the effect of annealing treatment on bulk resistance was i...

Nano-tendril bundles (NTBs) are nanostructures formed on the surface of tungsten under helium plasma irradiation with impurities. Upon annealing, NTBs of different sizes exhibit distinct morphological changes. This study aims to elucidate the underlying reasons for the different morphological changes observed in NTBs through the analysis of their t...
