Single surface preparation

For this preparation, which must be performed in the fume-cupboard, assemble the apparatus shown in Fig. 67(A). C is a 150 ml. distilling-flask, to the neck of which is fitted a reflux single-surface water-condenser D, closed at the top E by a calcium chloride tube. The side-arm of C carries a cork F which fits the end E of the condenser for subsequent distillation. The side-arm of C is meanwhile plugged by a small rubber cork, or by a short length of glass rod. (Alternatively, use the ground-glass flask and condenser (Fig. 22 (a) and (c), p. 43), and... 

In Felix s experiments conducted on the surfaces prepared with arrayed defects and in lubricated contact [54], the dependence of deformation on the slide-to-roll ratio was also observed, but in a more complex mode, as presented in Fig. 24. In pure rolling, the defects deform and entrap lubricant underneath during their passage through the inlet zone. For the same reason as discussed above in single defect case, the... 

To obtain these startling new results with Pt single crystals, Clavilier employed a novel surface preparation technique that did not require a complex and expensive UHV system, but did require considerable skill and experience. Clavilier s original papers... 

In essence, the durability of metal/adhesive joints is governed primarily by the combination of substrate, surface preparation, environmental exposure and choice of adhesive. As stated earlier, the choice of the two-part nitrile rubber modified epoxy system (Hughes Chem - PPG) was a fixed variable, meeting the requirement of initial joint strength and cure cycle and was not, at this time, examined as a reason for joint failure. Durability, as influenced by substrate, surface preparation, and environmental exposure were examined in this study using results obtained from accelerated exposure of single lap shear adhesive joints. 

Reconstruction of all the three low-index faces of Au single crystal under elevated temperature has been described in several papers. This subject has been discussed in detail by Dakkouri and Kolb [335], as well as (also for other metals) by Kolb [336], and Gao et al. [337, 338]. A recent concise review of Au reconstruction, including experimental details of the surface preparation, has been published by Trasatti and Lust [4].

As with all surface analytical methods, surface preparation is critical to obtaining reproducible SHG from metallic surfaces and single crystals in particular. For surfaces prepared in UHV and then transferred to an electrochemical cell, sputtering and heating or annealing followed by Auger analysis of impurities should proceed inert transfer. Low energy electron diffraction (LEED) can also be used to check surface order. Metal electrode surfaces, particularly for the rotational anisotropy ex-... 

The first homoepitaxial growth on high-pressure-grown single crystals of GaN was reported by Pakula et al [5] in 1996. Since then, a number of authors have performed similar experiments using as-grown GaN crystals as substrates [6-10], Despite many important scientific discoveries on homoepitaxial layers, the authors faced problems related to the lack of a proper surface preparation, which was the main reason that the layers were inhomogeneous (for example, variations of the half-width and the position of the photoluminescence peaks were observed). The recent development of the surface preparation made it possible to overcome this problem and to study the phenomena described below. 

Schottky contacts on ZnO were realized by the thermal evaporation of Ag, Au, Ni, or Pd, respectively. We used different surface preparation techniques prior to the deposition of the contact metal. For the single crystals a front-back contact configuration was used while a front-front configuration has to be used for thin films grown on insulating sapphire substrates. The homogeneity of the Schottky contacts depends on the surface preparation as revealed by electron beam induced current (EBIC) measurements (Fig. 6).
