Evaporation of a liquid into a vacuum occupying a half space is investigated on the basis ofthe BGK equation for a three-dimensional gas linearized about a drifting Maxwellian distribu-tion. The theory of singular integral equations is used and numerical results are given. ZusammenfassungDie Verdampfung einer Fliissigkeit im Vakuum, die den Halbraum fiillt, wird untersuchtmi...

We present evidence for 130 nm thick pentacene films ordered in the orthorhombic phase obtained by iodine diffusion into the film deposited by classical thermal evaporation. After desorption of iodine by vacuum annealing the crystallographic properties of the investigated pentacene films resemble those of very thin thermal evaporated films that exhibit an orthorhombic phase with high electrical...

Bose-Einstein condensation has been achieved in a magnetic surface microtrap with 4 x 10(5) (87)Rb atoms. The strongly anisotropic trapping potential is generated by a microstructure which consists of microfabricated linear copper conductor of widths ranging from 3 to 30 microm. After loading a high number of atoms from a pulsed thermal source directly into a magneto-optical trap the magnetical...

The petroleum ether (60-80o), chloroform methanol extracts of leaves and root bark of ficus glomerata (Moraceae) were prepared by successive solvent extraction followed by vacuum evaporation and the marc left after successive solvent extraction was extracts with boiling water to get aqueous extracts, all the extracts were subjected to qualitative chemical tests to find out phytoconstituents pre...

The light emission spectra of individual Au nanoparticles induced by a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) have been investigated. Two-dimensional ensembles of tunnel-coupled Au particles were prepared by thermal evaporation onto a native oxide silicon wafer in ultrahigh vacuum (10 – 9 mbar). Our STM measurements show a single peak at photon energy 1.6 eV in the tunneling mode and two peaks at ...

Two-dimensional neutronics analysis has been performed for the EVOLVE (EVaporation Of Lithium and Vapor Extraction) FW/blanket concept. The concept utilizes a refractory alloy (W-5Re) structure. The overall tritium breeding ratio is 1.37 at a lithium enrichment of 40% Li. The amount of nuclear heat deposited in the different regions was determined. About 76% of the total thermal energy is carri...

Amorphous Se40-xTe60Snx glassy alloys have been synthesized by thermal evaporation technique under high vacuum conditions (~ 10 -5 torr). The optical spectra of amorphous Se40-xTe60Snx (x = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8) thin films have been measured by a double beam UV-VIS-NIR computer controlled spectrophotometer over the range of 200-3000 nm. Swanepole technique has been used to calculate the optical consta...

Cu-Mo and Cu-Ti contact structures were fabricated on multi-crystalline silicon substrates to provide a low resistance ohmic contact. Deposition steps are done in an excellent vacuum chamber by means of electron beam evaporation and samples are then annealed for the realization of an efficient alloy layer. The effects of process parameters such as film thickness, annealing duration and temp...

Silicon thin layers are deposited on glass substrates with the thickness of 103 nm, 147 nm and 197 nm. The layers are produced with electron gun evaporation method under ultra-high vacuum condition. The optical Reectance and the Transmittance of produced layers were measured by using spectrophotometer. The optical functions such as, real and imaginary part of refractive index, real and imaginar...

Thin films of binary Bi 0 -TeO and Bi 0 -V 0 systems were prepared by the thermal co-evaporation technique in a vacuum at room temperature. The optical absorption edge of these systems are studied in the wavelength of 200-800 nm using a PERKIN-ELMER uv/Vis spectrophotometer. It is found that the value of n=3/2 in the Davis-Mott equation is best fitted for the fundamental absorption edge f...
