Infrared detector has a wide range of applications. To fabricate an IR detector with good sensitivity, an efficient IR absorber is needed. In this paper, we theoretically and experimentally investigated the absorption characteristics of Ti, multi-layer structured Ti-SiO2 and TiNx-SiNx nano films. The multi-layer structured TiNx-SiNx films with different nitrogen contents and Ti nano films with ...

A high flux thin-film nanocomposite membrane epoxy/ zeolite NaA nanocomposite films prepared by using ultrasonic mixing and spin coating. The synthesized nanocomposites film was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal gravity analysis (TGA), and FTIR spectroscopy. Water softener and water flux characteristics of the epoxy/ zeolite NaA nanocomposite ...

Resistive random access memory (RRAM) characteristics using a new Cr/GdOx/TiN structure with different device sizes ranging from 0.4 × 0.4 to 8 × 8 μm(2) have been reported in this study. Polycrystalline GdOx film with a thickness of 17 nm and a small via-hole size of 0.4 μm are observed by a transmission electron microscope (TEM) image. All elements and GdOx film are confirmed by energy disper...

In this paper, film thickness and pressure distribution of EHL in line contacts for four kinds of greases and one type of oil are calculated under a series of rolling velocities by wing an inverse solution method. The Herschel-Bulkley model is wed for the rheological characteristics of the grease. Based on the theoretical analysis and numerical calculation, the following influences on film thic...

A thin film process using ECR-ion beam sputtering with ultra pure (99.999999%) copper target was investigated for improving transportation properties in the film. The electric resistivity of the thin film was 40% lower than that of using a commercial-grade purity target. And the optical qualities evaluated by the transmission and reflection spectrum measurements were also indicate slower relaxa...

PURPOSE To determine whether intolerance to contact lens wear is attributable to clinical or protein characteristics of the tear film. METHODS Thirty-eight subjects participated; 20 were successful contact lens wearers and 18 had discontinued contact lens wear because of discomfort. Baseline tear film (no lens wear) was analyzed with a range of clinical measurements and protein analyses (lact...

Anxiety is feeling of danger in a person who is threatening with something. Nowadays, anxiety is increased in different populations and, thus it is became an important problem in many countries. Melissa officinalis (Melissa) and Valeriana officinalis (Valerian) are two medicinal plants. These two plants are traditionally used as sedative herbal drugs and new studies on their pharmacological act...

Background: Edible film is a food packaging that can be eaten directly and have protection function of outside contamination. The purpose of this research is to know how about the effect of using a glycerol plasticizer to film whey-konjac edible films that enriched with clove essential oil. Methods: A completely randomized design was used by different clove essential oil including P10, 0% clov...

The Japanese art films of the mid-1960s, also known as the so-called Japanese New Wave, are often praised by film scholars, but its formal elements and common characteristics are not often discussed. Thus, through the use of directors representative of the period, such as Hani Susumu, Matsumoto Toshio, Oshima Nagisa, and Teshigahara Hiroshi, this talk analyzes the features of outstanding exampl...
