This paper investigates and reviews the trend of phase formation and crystal chemistry of selected series of compounds in SrO- R 2O 3-CuO x and related systems. Including in this discussion are (Ba,Sr) 2RCu 3O 6+x, where M = selected representative and

Phase Equilibria of the SrO-Yb 2 O 3 -CuO x System in Air

September 1, 2001
Author(s)
J Dillingham, Winnie Wong-Ng, Igor Levin
The phase diagram of the SrO-Yb 2O 3-CuO x system was investigated in air. The solid solution (Sr 14-xYb x)Cu 24O z (O 13Yb)Cu 24O z indicated that this phase is incommensurate, with the modulation wave vector q=(1/2-z)c*, znearly equal to}0.066. The Sr

Ca 4 Nb 2 0 9 -CaTi0 3 : Phase Equilibria and Microstructures

August 1, 2001
Author(s)
Leonid A. Bendersky, Igor Levin, Robert S. Roth, Alexander J. Shapiro
Ca 4TiO 3-Ca 4Nb 2O 9 is a quasi-binary section, and all the phases participating in equilibrium are solid solutions of the binary end-members. The phases are perovskite-based ABO3-type, with a common stoichiometry Ca[Ca (1-x)/(3-2x)Nb (2-2x)/ (3-2x)Ti x/

In Situ Raman Spectroscopic Investigation of Chromium Surfaces Under Hydrothermal Conditions

August 1, 2001

James E. Maslar, Wilbur S. Hurst, Walter J. Bowers Jr., Jay H. Hendricks, M I. Aquino, Igor Levin
Three chromium coupons were exposed to air-saturated water at pressures of ca. 25 MPa and temperatures up to 545 C in an optically accessible flow cell. In situ Raman spectra were collected at different temperatures as the coupons were heated and then

Challenges of High-[kappa] Gate Dielectrics for Future MOS Devices

John S. Suehle, Eric M. Vogel, Monica D. Edelstein, Curt A. Richter, Nhan Van Nguyen, Igor Levin, Debra Kaiser, Hanchang F. Wu, J B. Bernstein
As the feature sizes of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) devices are scaled downward, the gate dielectric thickness must also decrease to maintain a value of capacitance to reduce short-channel effects and to keep device drive current at an

James E. Maslar, Wilbur S. Hurst, Terrell A. Vanderah, Igor Levin
The Raman spectra of polycrystalline Cr 3O 8 and Cr 2O 5 powders were measured. The powders were prepared by thermal decomposition of CrO 3 under flowing oxygen. Their composition was verified with x-ray diffraction. Raman spectra were excited with both
