A comparison was made of Al₂O₃ films deposited on Si via prompt inorganic condensation (PIC)
and atomic layer deposition (ALD). Current–voltage measurements as a function of annealing
temperature indicate that the solution-processed PIC films, annealed at 500°C, exhibit lower
leakage and roughly equivalent breakdown strength in comparison to ALD films....
Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) aerogels are coated with thin conformal layers of Al₂O₃ using
atomic layer deposition to form hybrid organic/inorganic nanocomposites. Electron probe
microanalysis and scanning electron microscopy analysis indicated the Al₂O₃ penetrated more
than 1500 μm into the aerogel for extended precursor pulse and exposure/purge times. The
measured profile...
Models of magnetic and gravity anomalies along two E-W transects offshore central Oregon, one of which is coincident with a detailed velocity model, provide quantitative limits on the structure of the subducting oceanic crust and the crystalline backstop. The models indicate that the backstop-forming western edge of the Siletz terrane,...
The design of a projectile delivery system often plays a critical role in the durability and breakage patterns associated with spent projectile points. This paper presents the results of an experimental project designed to examine projectile point durability and breakage patterns between three different hafting methods. Specifically, we compare two...
