Texture physical properties

Coercivity of Thin-Film Media. The coercivity ia a magnetic material is an important parameter for appHcations but it is difficult to understand its physical background. It can be varied from nearly zero to more than 2000 kA/m ia a variety of materials. For thin-film recording media, values of more than 250 kA / m have been reported. First of all the coercivity is an extrinsic parameter and is strongly iafluenced by the microstmctural properties of the layer such as crystal size and shape, composition, and texture. These properties are directly related to the preparation conditions. Material choice and chemical inborn ogeneties are responsible for the Af of a material and this is also an influencing parameter of the final In crystalline material, the crystalline anisotropy field plays an important role. It is difficult to discriminate between all these parameters and to understand the coercivity origin ia the different thin-film materials ia detail. 

The chemical and physical properties of limestone vary tremendously, owing to the nature and quantity of impurities present and the texture, ie, crystallinity and density. These same factors also exert a marked effect on the properties of the limes derived from the diverse stone types. In addition, calcination and hydration practices can profoundly influence the properties of lime. 

Plastic Sheet. Poly(methyl methacrylate) plastic sheet is manufactured in a wide variety of types, including cleat and colored transparent, cleat and colored translucent, and colored semiopaque. Various surface textures ate also produced. Additionally, grades with improved weatherabiUty (added uv absorbers), mat resistance, crazing resistance, impact resistance, and flame resistance ate available. Selected physical properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) sheet ate Hsted in Table 12 (102). 

Promoters. Many industrial catalysts contain promoters, commonly chemical promoters. A chemical promoter is used in a small amount and influences the surface chemistry. Alkali metals are often used as chemical promoters, for example, in ammonia synthesis catalysts, ethylene oxide catalysts, and Fischer-Tropsch catalysts (55). They may be used in as Httie as parts per million quantities. The mechanisms of their action are usually not well understood. In contrast, seldom-used textural promoters, also called stmctural promoters, are used in massive amounts and affect the physical properties of the catalyst. These are used in ammonia synthesis catalysts. 

The physical properties of a flaimnable solid, such as hardness, texture, waxiness, particle size, melting point, plastic flow, tiiennal conductivity, and heat capacity, impart a wide range of cliaracteristics to tiie flanmiability of solids. A solid ignites by first melting and tiien producing sufficient vapor, which in turn mixes witii air to fonn a flaiimiable composition. 

Easily observed physical properties of soils often are useful indexes of behavior. These index properties include texture and appearance, specific weight, moisture content, consistency, permeability, compressibility, and shearing strength [37,38].

The proprietary device employed for exposure of fiber ends slices the pot on a diagonal and at an angle through the lower end of the mass. Several slices are taken until the necessary depth is achieved in order to assure exposure of all fiber ends. The texture of the pot of the epoxy is such as to permit smooth scission while permitting the fiber to be cut in tension. This avoids smearing fiber ends closed. The sliced pot is reinserted in a heated mold and at temperatures necessary for the development of ultimate physical properties a final cure is achieved. 

The required degree of understanding of the physical properties of metal thin films used for interconnects on chips is illustrated by the following example. It was found that the performance of conductors on chips, A1 or Cu, depends on the structure of the conductor metal. For example, Vaidya and Sinha (10) reported that the measured median time to failure (MTF) of Al-0.5% Cu thin films is a function of three microstructural variables (attributes) median grain size, statistical variance (cr ) of the grain size distribution, and degree of [111] fiber texture in the film. 

It is seen from the discussion above that Cu is electrodeposited in vias and trenches on a bilayer a barrier metaVCu seed layer. When the barrier layer is composed of two layers (e.g., TiN/Ti), Cu is electrodeposited as a trilayer a barrier bilayer/Cu seed layer. This type of underlayer for electrodeposition of Cu raises a series of interesting theoretical and practical questions of considerable significance regarding the reliability of interconnects on chips. In Section 19.1 we have noted that interconnect reliability depends on the microstructural attributes of electrodeposited Cu (for Cu-based interconnects). These microstractural attributes, such as grain size, grain size distribution, and texture, determine the mechanical and physical properties of the thin films. Thus, one basic question in the foregoing series of questions is the problem of the influence of the underlayer barrier metal on the microstructure of the Cu seed layer. The second question is the influence of the microstructure of the Cu seed layer on the structure...

Few comprehensive classification schemes for CCP exist. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM 1994) classifies two catgories of fly ash (Class F and Class C) based upon chemical and physical properties of the fly ash (the total amount of Si + A1 + Fe, sulphate, loss on ignition). This classification system was developed for the use of fly ash as an admixture in concrete. More recently, new classification schemes have been developed that place emphasis on textural descriptions, the form of carbon (or char ), and the surface properties of fly ash (Hower Mastalerz 2001). These new classification schemes for fly ash may be the result of growing concern over mercury emissions from coal-fired boilers. Studies have shown that mercury adsorption onto the surface of fly ash particles is a function of both the total carbon content and the gas temperature at the point of fly ash collection (Hower et al. 2000).
