InSb thin films with a thickness of approximately 300 nm were prepared using single- and double-source vacuum evaporation methods and their structures and properties were investigated in terms of a heat treatment procedure. The double-source InSb films, prepared by the alternate stacking of In and Sb, were polycrystalline in structure and included small amounts of unreacted In and Sb phases. After annealing at elevated temperatures below the melting point of InSb (525$^{\circ}C$), the films changed into the InSb phase and were found to contain small amounts of unreacted In. The formation capability of the InSb compound was slightly lower for multilayer films than for single-layer films. The electrical and galvanomagnetic properties were found to be strongly related to the microstructures of the films. The maximum value of the Hall mobility and the magnetoresistance were determined to be $4.3{\times}10^3cm^2$/Vs and 70%, respectively, for the single-layer films, while these values for the alternately stacked films were respectively $2.9{\times}10^3cm^2$/Vs and 29% for the $[Sb(2.5)/In(2.5)]_{60}$ films, and $3.1{\times}10^3cm^2$/Vs and 10% for the $[Sb(150)/In(150)]_1$ films.

The crystal structure of Ba46-X, Ba46Al92Si100O384 [a= 25.297(1) Å], has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques in the cubic space group Fd&bar{3}at 21(1) ℃. The crystal was prepared by ion exchange in flowing stream of 0.05 M Ba(OH)2 aqueous solution for 5 days. The crystal was then dehydrated at 380 ℃ and 2 × 10-6 Torr for 2 days. The structure was refined to the final error indices R1= 0.051 and Rw= 0.054 with 369 reflections for which I > 3σ(I). In this structure, all Ba2+ ions are located at the three different crystallographic sites: fourteen Ba2+ ions are located at site Ⅰ, the centers of the double six rings, two Ba2+ ions lie at site Ⅰ', in the sodalite cavity opposite double six rings(D6R's) and another thirty Ba2+ ions are located at site Ⅱ in the supercage. Two Ba2+ ions are recessed ca. 0.27 Å into the sodalite cavity from their three O(3) oxygen plane and thirty Ba2+ ions are recessed ca. 1.11 Å into the supercage from their three O(2) oxygen planes, respectively (Ba(1)-O(3) = 2.76(1) Å, O(3)-Ba(1)-O(3) = 180(0)°, Ba(2)-O(3) = 2.45(1) Å, O(3)-Ba(2)-O(3) = 108(1)°, Ba(3)-O(2)=2.65(1) Å, and O(2)-Ba(3)-O(2)=103.9(4)°).

As the use of virtual simulation expands, digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs), which mimic conventional simulation films, play an increasingly important role as reference images in the verification of treatment fields. The purpose of our study is to develop an algorithm for computation of digitally reconstructed radiographs based on Monte Carlo simulation that take into account almost all possible physical processes by which photons interact with matter. The Monte Carlo simulation based DRRs have the following features. 1) Account has been taken of almost all possible physical processes of interaction of photons with matter, including a detector (film) response. In principle, this is equivalent to X-ray radiography. 2) Arbitrary photon energies (from diagnostic to therapeutic) can be used to produce DRRs. One can even use electrons as the source. 3) It is easy to produce a double exposure, which mimics the double exposure portal image and may have superior visual appeal for treatment field verification, with weighting within the treatment field.

The quaternary Ti-Al-V-N films have been grown on glass substrates by reactive dc and rf magnetron sputter deposition from a Ti-6Al-4V target in mixed Ar-$N_2$ discharges. The Ti-Al-V-N films were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction(XRD), electron probe microanalysis(EPMA) and scratch tester. Both XRD and EPMA results indicated that the Ti-Al-V-N films were of single B1 NaCl phase having columnar structure with the (111) preferred orientation. Scratch tester results showed that the adhesion strength of Ti-Al-V-N films which treated with substrate heating and vacuum annealing was superior to that of as-deposited film. The good adhesion strength was also achieved in the double-layer structure of Ti-Al-V-N/Ti-Al-V/Glass.

Context: Patients diagnosed with a cancer have a life time risk of developing another de novo malignancy depending on various inherited, environmental and iatrogenic risk factors. Of late the detection of new primary has increased mainly due to refinement in both diagnostic and treatment modalities. Cancer victims are surviving longer and thus are more likely to develop a new metachronous malignancy. Aims: To report our observed trend of increase in prevalence of both synchronous and metachronous second malignant neoplasms among cancer victims and to review the relevant literature. Settings and Design: A hospital based retrospective collection of prospective data of patients diagnosed with second denovo malignancy. Materials and Method: The study was conducted over a 5 year period from July 2008 to June 2012. All patients diagnosed with a histologically proven second malignancy as per Warren Gate's criteria were included. Various details regarding sex, age at presentation, synchronous or metachronous, treatment and outcome were recorded. Conclusions: The occurrence of multiple primary malignancies is not rare. Awareness of the possibility alerts the clinician in evaluation of patients with a known malignancy presenting with unusual sites of metastasis. Individualizing the treatment according to the stages of the primaries will result in durable cancer control particularly in synchronous double malignancy.

Two novel copper(II) complexes, [Cu(dmamhp)$(H_2O)_2(SO_4)]_n$ (1) and [Cu(dmamhp)$(NO_3)_2(H_2O)]{\cdot}H_2O$ (2) [dmamhp = 2-dimethylaminomethyl-3-hydroxypyridine] have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 1 displays a double one-dimensional chains structure, in which each chain is constituted with the distorted octahedral copper(II) complex bridged through bidentate sulfate ligands resulting in a coordination polymer. The bifurcated hydrogen bonds and $\pi-\pi$ interactions play important roles in the formation of the double chains structure. On the other hand, compound 2 adopts a distorted square pyramidal geometry around copper(II) ion and exists as a discrete monomer. There are intermolecular bifurcated hydrogen bonds and $\pi-\pi$ stacking interactions between the monomeric units. The magnetic properties revealed that the paramagnetic behaviors are dominantly manifested and there are no intermolecular magnetic interactions in both compound 1 and 2.

Microstructural dependence of magnetic property of RF/DC sputtered $Co_{69.0}Ni_{18.5}Cr_{12.5}/Cr$ double layer thin film was studied. Grain size was found to be decreased with substrate temperature in the range of $100-200^{\circ}C$ and Cr underlayer thickness(from $500\;{\AA}-2000\;{\AA}$). The peaks (200) and (1120) of X-ray diffraction patterns were evidently grown with the substrate temperature for the Cr underlayer and magnetic layer, respectively. The CoNiCr magnetic layer was found to be well epitaxialy grown on Cr underlayer, and subsequently the coercivity was enhanced.

A new approach of using double buffer layers of AlN and GaN for growth of GaN films on Si has been undertaken via molecular beam epitaxy using ammonia. The first buffers layer of AlN was grown using $N_2$plasma and the second of GaN was grown using ammonia. The surface roughness of the grown films was investigated by atomic force microscope and was compared with the normally grown films on sapphire. Double crystal x-ray rocking curve and low temperature photoluminescence techniques were employed for structural and optical properties examination. Donor bound exciton peak at 3.481 eV with full width half maximum of 41 meV was observed at 13K.

The effect of Ar/N₂ two-step plasma treatment on the quantitative interfacial adhesion energy of low temperature Cu-Cu bonding interface were systematically investigated. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis showed that Ar/N₂ 2-step plasma treatment has less copper oxide due to the formation of an effective Cu4N passivation layer. Quantitative measurements of interfacial adhesion energy of Cu-Cu bonding interface with Ar/N₂ 2-step plasma treatment were performed using a double cantilever beam (DCB) and 4-point bending (4-PB) test, where the measured values were 1.63±0.24 J/m² and 2.33±0.67 J/m², respectively. This can be explained by the increased interfacial adhesion energy according phase angle due to the effect of the higher interface roughness of 4-PB test than that of DCB test.

Diffuse radio relics are often detected in merging galaxy clusters and are emitted by synchrotron process. Radio relics are believed to trace the shock waves in the intracluster medium induced by ram pressure during a major cluster merger. Radio halos and relics are found in approximately 50 galaxy clusters to date that are all in a state of merging. The rarest of these galaxy clusters contain pairs of relics of similar brightness as well as a radio halo. The massive galaxy cluster PLCKG287.0+32.9 belongs to this rare population and is the second most significant detection from the Planck SZ All-sky Survey. Perhaps even more intriguing is that the radio relics are observed at vastly different distances from the X-ray peak requiring a complex merging scenario. In this study, we use weak-lensing to peer deeper into the merging scenario by reconstructing the dark matter distribution. We relate the mass distribution to the radio, X-ray, and optical emissions to provide constraints for future simulations of the merger. Fitting an NFW profile to the tangential shear we infer the mass of the cluster and discuss its implications for the merging scenario.
