Computer Simulation of Ion Beam Analysis: Possibilities and Limitations
(2011)Quantitative application of ion beam analysis methods, such as Rutherford backscat- tering, elastic recoil detection analysis, and nuclear reaction analysis, requires the use of computer simulation codes. The different types of available codes are pre- ... -
Corilagin and 1,3,6-Tri-O-galloyl-β -D-glucose : potential inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 variants
(2021-06-28)The COVID-19 disease caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2, first detected in December 2019, is still emerging through virus mutations. Although almost under control in some countries due to effective vaccines that are mitigating the worldwide pandemic, the ... -
A coupled 2 x 2D Babcock-Leighton solar dynamo model. II Reference dynamo solutions
(American Astronomical Society, 2017-01)In this paper we complete the presentation of a new hybrid 2 × 2D flux transport dynamo (FTD) model of the solar cycle based on the Babcock–Leighton mechanism of poloidal magnetic field regeneration via the surface decay of bipolar magnetic regions ... -
A Coupled 2 × 2D Babcock–Leighton Solar Dynamo Model. I. Surface Magnetic Flux Evolution
(2015-09)The need for reliable predictions of the solar activity cycle motivates the development of dynamo models incorporating a representation of surface processes sufficiently detailed to allow assimilation of magnetographic data. In this series of papers ... -
Critical process temperatures for resistive InGaAsP/InP heterostructures heavily implanted by Fe or Ga ions
(Elsevier, 2015-07-30)We report on critical ion implantation and rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process temperatures that produce resistive Fe- or Ga-implanted InGaAsP/InP heterostructures. Two InGaAsP/InP heterostructure compositions, with band gap wavelengths of 1.3 μm and ... -
Diffusion mechanism of bound Schottky defect in magnesium oxide
(American Physical Society, 2021-03-25)In simple ionic crystals, intrinsic point defects must satisfy electrical neutrality and exist as Schottky defects. In magnesium oxide (MgO), a Schottky defect is then a combination of anionic and cationic vacancies. Since vacancies are charged, the ... -
Engineering visible light emitting point defects in Zr-implanted polycrystalline AlN films
(American Institute of Physics, 2020-12-22)We have investigated the impact of thermal annealing gaseous atmosphere of argon, nitrogen, and forming gas on the structural and optical properties of thin polycrystalline AlN films subjected to high-energy zirconium ions implantation. X-ray diffraction, ... -
Focussed helium ion channeling through Si nanomembranes
(2018-03-15)Channeling of low energy (25 to 35 keV) focussed He ions transmitted through crystalline Si (001) nanomembranes (50nm) has been observed using a He ion microscope. Planar (110) and (100) channeling was detected with critical incident angles of 1.0 at ... -
Formation of crystalline Si1-xGex top layers by ion implantation in crystalline silicon
(Elsevier, 2023-02-27)Semiconductor nanocrystals incorporated in a dielectric film are widely studied as potential candidates to exceed the Shockley-Queisser theoretical conversion limit of photovoltaic cells. In this context, Ge nanocrystals embedded in SiO2 films seem to ... -
Hydrogen analysis depth calibration by CORTEO Monte-Carlo simulation
(Elsevier, 2015-10-21)Hydrogen imaging with sub-μm lateral resolution and sub-ppm sensitivity has become possible with coincident proton–proton (pp) scattering analysis (Reichart et al., 2004). Depth information is evaluated from the energy sum signal with respect to energy ... -
In-plasma analysis of plasma–surface interactions
(American Institute of Physics, 2023)During deposition, modification, and etching of thin films and nanomaterials in reactive plasmas, many active species can interact with the sample simultaneously. This includes reactive neutrals formed by fragmentation of the feed gas, positive ions, ... -
Insights on the effect of water content in carburizing gas mixtures on the metal dusting corrosion of iron
(Elsevier, 2021-12-07)Constituents of syngas, such as water, carbon monoxide and sulfides, can cause the degradation of the steel pipes they move through, leading to carbon dusting and corrosion. In spite of considerable attention to this process, many questions remain ... -
Mitigating Alzheimer’s disease with natural polyphenols: a review
(Bentham Science, 2019-03-14)According to Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI), nearly 50 million people worldwide were living with dementia in 2017, and this number is expected to triple by 2050. Despite years of research in this field, the root cause and mechanisms responsible ... -
Molecular interactions of tannic acid with proteins associated with SARS-CoV-2 infectivity
(MDPI, 2022-02-27)The overall impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on our society is unprecedented. The identification of small natural ligands that could prevent the entry and/or replication of the coronavirus remains a pertinent ... -
Polyphenol-peptide interactions in mitigation of Alzheimer’s disease : role of biosurface-induced aggregation
(IOS Press, 2021-05-08)Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder, responsible for nearly two-thirds of all dementia cases. In this review, we report the potential AD treatment strategies focusing on natural polyphenol molecules ... -
Pressure effect on diffusion of carbon at the 85.91◦ 100 symmetric tilt grain boundary of α-iron
(American Physical Society, 2021-04-19)The diffusion mechanism of carbon in iron plays a vital role in carburization processes, steel fabrication, and metal dusting corrosion. In this paper, using the kinetic activation-relaxation technique (k-ART), an off-lattice kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm ... -
Raman-based mapping and depth-profiling of the relaxation state in amorphous silicon
(American Institute of Physics, 2024-02-09)We show that the micro-scale variations in the relaxation state of amorphous silicon (aSi) can be well-identified by Raman mapping over hundreds or thousands of µm2 in 1-2 hours. Pure and relaxed a-Si is obtained by self-implantation in crystalline ... -
