EPMA Measurements of Diffusion Profiles at the Submicrometre Scale

Specific Effects and Deconvolution in Submicrometre EPMA: Application to Binary Diffusion

Electron probe (X-ray) microanalysis (EPMA) is nowadays a classical and well-established method for qualitative and (semi)quantitative evaluation of the elemental composition of the (near)surface of a sample on the micrometre scale. This technique can be used to determine concentration profiles due to (inter)diffusion in materials at submicrometre resolution if physical and geometrical effects ...

construction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers

the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...

application of brand personality scale in automobile industry: the study of samand’s brand personality dimensions

این تحقیق شخصیت برند سمند را در ایران با استفاده از مدل پنج بعدی آکر (1997) بعنوان یک چهارچوب بطور توصیفی سنجیده است. بنابر این چهارچوب که دراصل در 42 جزء (42 ویزگی شخصیتی) ودر پنج بعد شخصیتی طراحی شده بود ودر کشورها وصنایع مختلف آزموده شده بود, پرسنامه به زبان فارسی ترجمه شده و با استفاده از روشهای ترجمه معکوس و مصاحبه عمیق با 12 متخصص ایرانی به 38 جزء کاهش یافت. و نظرسنجی ای در پنج نمایندگی ا...

LOW-ENERGY-ION ENHANCED DIFFUSION AT THE SURFACE OF METALS

Radiation enhanced diffusion at the surface of metals has been observed and studied for low-energy nitrogen ions at the surface of copper. The displacement of the target atoms during irradiation creates vacancies and other defects near the surface, thus enhancing the diffusion of implanted materials toward the surface and also into the solid. The mechanism has been studied here by a specia...
