Abstract: In this paper, a comparative study of different high-k dielectric materials based on tunneling current density has been deployed. The various types of high-k dielectric materials such as aluminium oxide, hafnium oxide, silicon nitride are compared using Schrödinger equation. The analytical model of tunneling current density has been computed using WKB approximation method. The simulat...

Addition of carboxylic acid dianions appears to be a potential alternative to the use of aluminium enolates for nucleophilic ring opening of epoxides. These conditions require the use of a sub-stoichiometric amount of amine (10% mol) for dianion generation and the previous activation of the epoxide with LiCl. Yields are good, with high regioselectivity, but the use of styrene oxide led, unexpec...

The properties produced by integral coloured anodic oxide films and sulphuric acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid and different anodizing aluminium alloys -Si, Mg, Fe, Cuare studied. A two stage anodizing procedure was employed. The influence of alloy and solution composition, temperature, concentration, voltage, ampere, time from optimization simplex and anodizing conditions are considered. An oxid...

Nearly all metals, with the exception of gold and platinum, will corrode in an oxidising environment forming compounds such as oxides, hydroxides and sulphides. The degradation of metals by corrosion is a universal reaction, caused by the simple fact that the oxide of a metal has a much lower energy than the metal itself. Hence there is a strong driving force for the oxidation of metals. For ex...

Aluminium is used extensively in the transportation, architecture, electronic and packaging industries. Aluminium presents particular characteristics such as low density, high ductility and a highly protective natural oxide film. However, formability, corrosion resistance, weldability, adhesion and surface aspect depend on the chemistry and microstructure of the metal surface. Properties of par...

Machining operations of cast parts usually generate considerable amounts of waste in the form of chips (usually 3–5% of the casting weight). Traditionally, swarf is sold to scrapers and remelters, but this option is quite expensive because the selling price is roughly 30% of the acquisition price of the commercial 2nd melt raw material. For most aluminium foundries that incorporate machining op...
