The thermomechanical behavior of multilayer structures is a subject of perennial interest. Stoney’s formula has long been one of the most important tools for understanding thermomechanical stress for single-layered structures like spin-coated polyimides or deposited metal thin film on substrates. In today’s microelectronics, however, as multilayer substrates have become widely available, the ‘‘...

The NO chemisorption dynamics on ordered multilayer iron phthalocyanine (FePc) and quasiamorphous multilayer tetra-t-butyl FePc (ttbu-FePc) films on a Au(111) substrate was investigated using the King and Wells reflection technique. The NO zero coverage or initial sticking probabilities (S(0)) were measured as a function of sample temperature (T(s)) and beam energy (E(i)). The experimental resu...

Data mining is the upcoming research area to solve various problems and classification is one of main problem in the field of data mining. In this paper, we use two classification algorithms J48 (which is java implementation of C4. 5 algorithm) and multilayer perceptron alias MLP (which is a modification of the standard linear perceptron) of the Weka interface. It can be used for testing severa...

The dorsal surfaces of the hindwings of the dragonfly Rhyothemis resplendens (Odonata: Libellulidae) reflect a deep blue from the multilayer structure in its wing membrane. The layers within this structure are not flat, but distinctly 'wrinkled', with a thickness of several hundred nanometres and interwrinkle crest distances of 5 µm and greater. A comparison between the backscattered light from...

ZrN/Si3N4 multilayer coating that alternates with either nanocrystalline ZrN or amorphous Si3N4 interlayers was fabricated by reactively magnetron sputtering in an Ar-N2 mixture atmosphere. The thicknesses of the nanocrystalline ZrN and the amorphous Si3N4 interlayers are ~12.5 and 2.5 nm, respectively. The ZrN/Si3N4 coating exhibits a promoted hardness of 28.6 ± 1.2 GPa when compared to the bi...

Processes of e-beam and holographic recording of surface relief structures using Ge5As37S58-Se multilayer nanostructures as registering media were studied in this paper. Optical properties of Ge5As37S58, Se layers, and Ge5As37S58-Se multilayer nanostructures were investigated. Spectral dependencies of refractive index were analyzed within the frames of single oscillator model. Values of optical...

This paper proposes an accurate illumination model for rendering objects coated with multilayer films. Optical phenomenaof multilayer films are caused by reflection, refraction, interference, and absorption of light inside each layer of multiple films, and these physical phenomena are complicatedly related with each other. The proposed method calculates composite reflectance and transmittance o...

An in situ optical technique to visualize surface distortions of the first monochromator crystal under synchrotron beam heat loading has been developed and applied to measure surface profiles of multilayer optics under white wiggler beam at the CHESS A2 beamline. Two identical multilayer structures deposited on Si and SiC substrates have been tested. Comparison of the reconstructed 3D heatbump ...

The formation of polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMSs)-based layer-by-layer multilayer ultrathin films on charged surfaces prepared from water and phosphate buffer solutions has been investigated. The multilayer films prepared under these conditions showed different surface roughness. Nanoscale islands and network structures were observed homogeneously on the multilayer film prepared from pure water so...
