Zinc oxide(ZnO) films were prepared by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis on indium (In) films deposited by evaporation and subsequently submitted to rapid thermal annealing (RTA). The RTA was processed in air or a vacuum ambient. The crystallographic properties and surface morphologies of the films were characterized before and after the RTA by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM), respectively. The resistivity variation of the films with RTA temperature and time was measured by the 4-point probe method. Auger electron spectroscopy(AES) was carried out to figure out the distribution of indium atoms in the ZnO films. The resistivity of the ZnO on In(ZnO/In) films decreased to 2${\times}$10$\^$-3/ $\Omega$cm by diffusion of the In. The In diffusion into the ZnO films roughened the surface of the ZnO films. The results of depth profile by AES showed a hump of In atoms around ZnO/In interface after the RTA at 800$^{\circ}C$, which disappeared by the RTA at 1000$^{\circ}C$. The effects of temperature, time and ambient during the RTA on the structural and electrical properties of the ZnO/In films were discussed.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) films deposited on indium (In) films were post-annealed in a rapid thermal anealing (RTA) system. The ZnO/In films were RTA-treated in air or a vacuum ambient.

The resistivity variation of the films with RTA temperature and time was measured by the 4-point probe method.

Ba$_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$ (YBCO) thin films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition using differently prepared targets: One was a conventionally solid-state sintered (SSS) target and the other was a modified melt-textured grown (MTC) target. Compared with SSS targets, MTG targets showed a well-connected microstructure consisting of much larger grains and the surface was Bess roughened with the cumulative laser incidence. YBCO films deposited from MTC targets showed a denser and smoother surface of the basal film than the case of SSS targets. The investigations of ${\alpha}$-axis outgrowths in the films indicated that the deposition using MTG targets would result in a more homogeneous and stable film growth as compared to the SSS targets. Also, TEM analysis revealed that the film deposited from MTG targets had a less granular microstructure that would reduce weak-link effects in the film.

Micro/nano adhesion and friction properties of mixed self-assembled monolayer (SAM) with different chain length for MEMS application were experimentally studied. Many kinds of SAM having different spacer chains(C6, C10 and C18) and their mixtures (1:1) were deposited onto Si-wafer, where the deposited SAM resulted in the hydrophobic nature. The adhesion and friction properties between tip and SAM surfaces under nano scale applied load were measured using an atomic force microscope (AFM) and under micro scale applied load were measured using ball-on-flat type micro-tribotester. Surface roughness and water contact angles were measured with SPM (scanning probe microscope) and contact anglemeter. Results showed that water contact angles of mixed SAMs were similar to those of pure SAMs. The morphology of coating surface was roughened as mixing of SAM. Nano adhesion and nano friction decreased as increasing of the spacer chain length and mixing of SAM. Micro friction was decreased as increasing of the spacer chain length, but micro friction of mixed SAM showed the value between pure SAMs. Nano adhesion and friction mechanism of mixed SAM was proposed in a view of stiffness of spacer chain modified chemically and topographically.

This work reports the phase-change behavior and thermal stability of doped GeSbTe/GeSbTe bilayers. We prepared the bilayers using RF sputtering, and annealed them at annealing temperature ranging from $100^{\circ}C$ to $400^{\circ}C$. The sheet resistance of the bilayer decreased and saturated with increasing annealing temperature, and the saturated value was close to that of pure GeSbTe film. The surface of the bilayer roughened at $400^{\circ}C$, which corresponds to the surface roughening of doped GeSbTe film. Mixed phases of face-centered cubic and hexagonal close-packed crystalline structures were identified in the bilayers annealed at elevated temperature. These results indicate that the phase-change behavior of the bilayer depends on the concurrent phase-transitions of the two GeSbTe-based films. The dopants in the doped GeSbTe film were diffused out at annealing temperatures of $300^{\circ}C$ or higher, which implies that the thermal stability of the bilayer should be considered for its application in phase-change electronic devices.

The objectives of this paper are to study the heat transfer characteristics on enhanced surfaces, to develop experimental correlations of friction factor and Nusselt number, and to provide a guideline for optimum operation conditions at low temperature boiling for practical refrigeration applications. The working fluid (water, EG $30\%$) flows inside the enhanced tube and R134a boils on the outer surface. Two different types of Turbo-B tubes (Tube I and Tube II) are tested in the present study. The results show that Tube I gives a higher heat transfer coefficient with higher friction factor than Tube II. The present study provided experimental correlations for friction factor and heat transfer coefficient with error bands of ${\pm}5\%\;and\;{\pm}\;15\%$, respectively.

Interfacial shear stresses have been determined for countercurrent stratified flow of air and water in a nearly-horizontal rectangular channel, based upon measurements of pressure drop, gas velocity profiles and mean film thickness. A dimensionless correlation for the interfacial friction factor has been developed as a function of the gas and liquid Reynolds numbers. Equivalent surface roughnesses for the interfacial friction factor have been calculated using the Nikuradse correlation and have been compared with the intensity of the wave height fluctuation on the interface. The results show that the interfacial shear stress is mainly affected by turbulent mixing near the interface due to the wave motion rather than by the roughened surface.

We investigated how the surface roughness of electrode affects the charge injection at the pentacene/Au interface. After depositing Au film on the Si substrate by sputtering, we annealed the sample to control the Au surface roughness. Pentacene and Au top electrode were subsequently deposited to complete the sample. The nucleation density of pentacene was slightly higher on the rougher Au electrode, but surface morphologies of thick pentacene films were similar on both the as-prepared and the roughened Au electrodes. The current-voltage curves obtained from the Au/pentacene/Au structure measured as a function of temperature indicated that the interface barrier was higher for the rougher Au bottom-electrode. We propose that the higher barrier was caused by the lower work function of rougher electrode surface and the higher trap density at the interface.

Recent experimental data shows that the noticeable feature of irregular roughened spots on the fuel surface occurs during the combustion test with PMMA/GOX in the hybrid rocket motor. The generation of these unexpected patterns is likely to be resulted from the disturbed boundary layer due caused by wall blowing which is intented to simulate the process of fuel vaporization. LES technique was implemented to investigate both the flow characteristics near fuel surface and the subsequent evolution of turbulence modified by the wall blowing. Simple channel geometry instead of circular grain configuration was used for the investigation without chemical reactions in order to allow for a focused examination on the near-wall behavior at the Reynolds number of 22,500. It was shown that the wall blowing pushed turbulent structures upwards making them tilted and this skewed displacement, in effect, left the foot prints of the structures on the surface. This change of kinematics may explain the formation of irregular isolated spots on the fuel surface observed in the experiment.

Statement of problem. Reducing treatment time in implant dentistry is a matter of main concern. There are so many factors affecting the success rate of immediate or early loaded implant for the initial bone response. The especially microscopic properties of implant surfaces playa major role in the osseous healing of dental implant. Purpose. The aims of this study were to perform a histologic and histomorphometric comparison of the healing characteristics anodically roughened surface, HA coated surface and RBM surface implant, and to compare of ISQ values measured by $Osstell^{TM}$ for resonance frequency analysis in dogs mandible during 2 weeks. Material and method. Bone blocks from 2 dogs were caught after covered healing for 0 day(2 h); Group I, 1 week; Group II and 2 weeks; Group III. One longitudinal section was obtained for each implant and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Histomorphometric analysis was done with Kappa Imagebase system to calculate bone-to-implant contact and bone volumes inside the threads. ISQ values were measured in every time of surgery schedule. Conclusion. The experiment revealed that: 1. The percentages of bone-to-implant contact on the fixture in each group were not significantly different(P > 0.05). 2. The percentages of bone area inside the threads on the fixture in each group were not significantly different(P > 0.05). 3. The ISQ level showed clinical stability of each fixture during 2 weeks(all ISQ level ${\geq}71$ ).
