Interface, types graded

In solid-state devices semiconductors are interfaced with other materials and junctions are formed. A junction between two semiconductors of opposite polarity is called a pn-junction. If the concentration of one type of dopant is much higher than that of the other (e.g., N > > Afo) it is called an abrupt junction (Fig. C.3). For the approximately equal doping levels we talk about, we use the term two-sided junction. A gradient of dopants is found in graded junctions. The concentrations of carriers on the two sides of the junction (subscripted) are... 

Figure 6 summarizes the numerical results of the axial stresses for different types of profiles. As we can see, the evolution of the stresses are higher at the edge interface between 95 and the other compositions, and that is true for all the profiles. However, the evolution of the stress through a graded sample fixrm 90 85 80 75 is lower. In fact, if the upper limit of the WC content is lower then 95% (e.g. 90%), then the residual stresses arc reduced. This is due to the relaxation mechanism which is noore efficient. 

In the present work, the graded layer properties of the thermal stress relaxation type functionally gradient material TiC-NiyAl were investigated. First, the thermomechanical properties of the each layer of the composite was tested. Second, the microstructure of the composite was examined. Next, the interface residual thermal stress of TiC-NiaAl sphere in the sintering process was calculated by the analysis method. Then, the relationship between the stress and the thickness of NisAl was also presented. Finally, the effect of the residual thermal stress on the properties of TiC-NiaAl composite was discussed. 

We have two large problems on preparing such sturucture i.e. segment bonded sturucture [3]. The first problem is the residual thermal stress at the material interface. And the second problem is the electrical properties of the material interface. For the first problem, recent progress in the field of stress relaxation type functionally graded material helps us very well, and the principle is utilizing multi phase composite material. On the other hand, for the second problem, it is not desireble to introduce complicated interface geometry, for example muti phase composite structure... 

Although, there is a very small number of molecules of type B, compared to type A, in the solution, the equilibrium adsorption layer is formed by almost the same number of both molecule types (Fig. 5.1. a). In this case, the surface activity of the contaminant (substance B) is much higher than that of the main component (substance A). In contrast. Fig. 5.1. b demonstrates the situation where both components have a similar surface activity. Here, the adsorbed layer at the interface is mainly controlled by molecules of type A. This solution is in a state of sufficiently high grade of purity for interfacial studies. 

In the present case, at time t = t, the adsorption layer has reached an intermediate coverage and consists of almost only molecules of type A. After a time t = tj, equilibrium has not yet been reached, but component B occupies already a remarkable part of the interfacial area. The final equilibrium state of the adsorbed layer is established at time t > tj, and the interfacial properties are mainly controlled by the contaminant B. The evolution of the adsorbed layer composition with time is on a logarithmic scale. The absolute time ranges are a function of the absolute concentration, the time differences and concentration ratios at the interface and the surface activities of the two components. In practical cases, surfactants are not only contaminated by one but often by several components of different surface activity. This complicates the analysis of purification procedures and the grade of purity of prepared surfactant solutions. 

Melt blending of PA-6 (or 66) with such an anhydride functionalized polypropylene causes a fast graft copolymer reaction between the polyamide and PP at the interface, which subsequently compatibilizes the blend. Some commercial polyamide/polypropylene blends may utilize such types of reactive compatibilization techniques. Properties of commercial PA/PP blends, both unfilled and glass filled grades, are shown in Tables 15.18 and 15.19. Typically, these blends... 

Nakano and Jimbo investigated the interface electronic properties of thermally oxidized n-type GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors [230]. The formation of an intermediate gallium oxide nitride layer vith a graded composition could provide the origin of a small capacitance transient observed experimentally.
