In the Upper Cretaceous-Danian North Sea chalk, silica composed of nano-size quartz spheres is dispersed in the chalk matrix, and quartz is present in bands and nodules of flint. In the present investigation of the North Sea Danian chalk the nano-quartz in the chalk matrix is compared with the silica in the flint. Samples of chalk and flint layers ...
CdSe epilayers were grown on GaAs(0 0 1) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) in a wide range of VI/II beam-equivalent-pressure (BEP) ratio from 1.1 to 8.5. X-ray diffraction (XRD) theta-2 theta scan reveals all the CdSe samples possess cubic zinc blende structure with (0 0 1) orientation. The film grown at a low VI/II ratio of 1.1 has rough ...
CdSe thin films have been grown on GaAs (0 0 1) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The effects of substrate temperature and annealing treatment on the structural properties of CdSe layers were investigated. The growth rate slightly decreases due to the accelerated desorption of Cd from CdSe surface with an increase in the temperature. The ...
A series of transition films from amorphous to microcrystalline silicon was successfully prepared by very high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(VHF-PECVD).Effects of gas pressure on the microstructure, photoelectric and transport properties of the films were investigated.The results indicate that increase of gas pressure improve ...
We report the latest results of the3C-SiC layer growth on Si(100) substrates by employing a novel home-made horizontal hot wall low pressure chemical vapour deposition(HWLPCVD) system with a rotating susceptor that was designed to support up to three50 mm-diameter wafers.3C-SiC film properties of the intra-wafer and the wafer-to-wafer, including cr...
In order to investigate the role of clay minerals in organic matter preservation, the fixation of pure organic compounds on two synthetic low- and high-charge saponites was investigated in laboratory experiments simulating marine water conditions. The clays were exposed to four carboxylic acids: pentadecanoic, docosanoic, 5β-cholanic acid and ursol...
n-ZnO/p-GaN heterojunction light-emitting diodes with and without a sandwiched AlN layer were fabricated. The electroluminescence (EL) spectrum acquired from the n-ZnO/p-GaN displays broad emission at 650 nm originating from ZnO and weak emission at 440 nm from GaN, whereas the n-ZnO/AlN/p-GaN exhibits strong violet emission at 405 nm from ZnO with...
