Effect of cylindrical geometry on the wet thermal oxidation of AlAs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have investigated the wet thermal oxidation of AlAs in cylindrical geometry, a typical configuration for vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers. Through both experiment and theoretical calculations, we demonstrate a significantly different time dependence for circular mesas from what has been reported in the literature both in studies of stripes and in a study of circular mesas. We attribute this different time dependence to the effect of geometry on the oxidation. © 1998 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-8979~98!06824-8#

Thermal Oxidation Times Effect on Structural and Morphological Properties of Molybdenum Oxide Thin Films Grown on Quartz Substrates
Molybdenum oxide (α-MoO)thin films were prepared on quartz and silicon substrates by thermal oxidation of Mo thin films deposited using DC magnetron sputtering method. The influence of thermal oxidation times ranging from 60-240 min on the structural and morphological properties of the preparedfilms was investigated using X-ray diffraction, Atomic force microscopy and Fourier transform infrared...
متن کاملReforming Integrated with Oxidation in Micro-Heat Exchanger Reactor with Circular Micro-Channels
Steam reforming integrated with oxidation of methanol was considered with numerical simulation. The parallel micro-channels with circular cross sections were used. Because when the catalytic deposited inside the rectangular micro-channels, it fills up the edges. Hence, the approximation of a cylindrical channel is appropriate. Effect of this changing in cross section was considered and results ...

متن کاملInvestigating the Effect of Joint Geometry of the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding Process on the Residual Stress and Distortion using the Finite Element Method
Although a few models have been proposed for 3D simulation of different welding processes, 2D models are still more effective in design goals, thus more popular due to the short-time analysis. In this research, replacing "time" by the "third dimension of place", the gas tungsten arc welding process was simulated by the finite element method in two dimensions and in a short time with acceptable ...
