Exploring the relationship between deposition method, microstructure, and performance of Nb/Si-based superconducting coplanar waveguide resonators

Superconducting quantum circuits (SQC) are one of the most promising hardware platforms for quantum computing, yet their performance is currently limited by the presence of various structural defects inside the circuit's structure. Despite impressive progress in the past decade, a precise understanding of the origin of these defects from various fabrication processes and their impact on coherence is still lacking. In this study, we performed a comprehensive investigation on the microstructure, superconductivity, and resonator quality factor of Nb films deposited by high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) and direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering. A suite of characterization techniques, including electron microscopy with spectroscopy, secondary ion mass spectrometry, magneto-optical microscopy, and pump-probe reflectivity spectroscopy is used. We reveal that niobium (Nb) resonators fabricated using HiPIMS exhibit a smaller average grain size, thicker surface oxide with larger thickness variations (rougher surface), and a thicker amorphous Nb/Si interface layer compared to samples deposited by DC sputtering. We identified that the amorphous Nb oxides (mainly located at the Nb surface and along the grain boundaries) and Nb-Si amorphous layers (at the Nb/Si interface) are major and potential sources of two-level system (TLS), while off-stochiometric oxides and suboxides of Nb close to the surface, crystalline defects (i.e., dislocations at grain boundary, point defects introduced during deposition) are main contributors of non-TLS sources. Our findings clarify the relationship between different defects and coherence loss mechanisms, highlighting the importance of material microstructure control on performance optimization in SQC.

Development of large-scale laminar-structure nanofiltration membranes for high dye rejection and enhanced robustness: Utilizing potassium ion-crosslinked graphene oxide and polyethyleneimine surface coating

Laminar graphene oxide (GO) membranes are at the forefront of groundbreaking research as a prospective advanced solution for nanofiltration. Both physical and computational experiments have showcased the exceptional efficacy of these GO membranes. However, scalability and robustness issues still remain significant hurdles for the practical implementation of GO membranes. In this study, to address these issues concurrently, we employed tape-casting of GO hydrogel induced by potassium ion crosslinking alongside polyethyleneimine crosslinking between the tape-casted laminar GO layers and the porous support layer. Through this approach, we successfully crafted a scalable laminar GO membrane encompassing an area of 900 cm², characterized by good uniformity. The GO membranes achieved excellent rejection efficiencies of 99.22 %, 99.42 %, and 99.27 % for methylene blue, methyl orange, and rhodamine B, respectively, with 0.77 LMH/bar of pure water permeability. Furthermore, the GO membranes demonstrated enhanced stability, validated by both long-term operation and testing under harsh conditions.

Mechanisms of interface electrostatic potential induced asphalt-aggregate adhesion

The electrostatic potential at the interface of the asphalt molecular and aggregate oxides is the primary factor generating the adhesion between the asphalt-aggregate contact surfaces. However, the route of electrostatic potential affecting the asphalt-aggregate adhesion is yet to be determined at the molecular level. This study proposed that the electron accumulation at the interface of the asphalt molecular and aggregate oxides generates a significant electrostatic potential hence to induce the adhesion between the asphalt and aggregate in asphalt pavement. A microscopic molecular dynamics (MD) simulation incorporated with macroscopic adhesion work experiments is conducted to analyze the interface adhesive performance between the asphalt and aggregate. The adhesion work experiment demonstrated the effect of aggregate surface oxides on asphalt adhesion at the macro level and further verified the simulation results. The result demonstrated that a notable electron accumulation can be observed by MD at the interface of asphalt molecular and multiple oxides which generates the electrostatic potential. The strong electrostatic attractions and hydrogen bonds between alkaline oxides (MgO, CaO, CaCO3) and asphalt molecules enhance the relative concentration distribution, diffusion coefficient, and adhesion of asphalt on the aggregate surface. The significant electrostatic potential difference at the interface of the asphalt molecular and the oxide enables a strong adhesion between them due to the near-surface failure potential. Besides, the negative charge accumulation on both the benzene ring structure and oxygen atoms in the asphalt molecules results in poor adhesion at the interface of asphalt molecules and multiple oxides. It was found that a high correlation exists between the MD prediction and experimental testing results. Thus, this research provides a valuable tool for guiding the pairing and selection of asphalt with various minerals for pavement design, construction, and maintenance agencies.

The role of ceria in promoting Ni catalysts supported on phosphate‐modified zirconia for the partial oxidation of methane

AbstractThe catalytic partial oxidation of methane (POM) is aimed at the mitigation of CH4 (a highly potent greenhouse gas) from the environment and the synthesis of syngas with a high H2/CO ratio. Herein, to enhance the POM reaction, Ni‐supported phosphate‐modified‐zirconia were synthesized with promotor “Ce” to achieve high H2/CO ratio (2.4–3.2). The catalysts were characterized by surface area and porosity, X‐ray diffraction, RAMAN, temperature‐programmed experiments (TPR, CO2‐TPD, and TPO), and TEM. Increasing the ceria addition over 10Ni/PO4 + ZrO2 resulted in lower crystallinity, higher dispersion of active sites, and enhanced the surface area of catalyst. The unique and prominent reducibility and basicity of NiO‐species and surface oxide ions, respectively, are particularly notable at 4 wt.% ceria loading. At a reaction temperature of 600°C, the highest concentration of active sites and a unique concentration of moderate strength basic sites can be achieved with 4 wt.% ceria loading over 10Ni/PO4 + ZrO2. This leads to 44% conversion of CH4, 36% yield of H2, 35% yield of CO2, and H2/CO ratio of 3.16 for the POM reaction. The cyclic H2TPR‐O2TPO‐H2TPR experiment confirms the reorganization of the active site towards high temperature under oxidizing gas O2 and reducing gas H2 gas stream during the POM reaction.

Electrochemical Oxidation Mechanism of Pyrite in a Copper(II)-Citrate-Sodium Thiosulfate Composite System

Pyrite is an important gold carrier during gold leaching, but it is readily oxidized, which causes environmental problems such as acidic mine drainage. Thus, it is necessary to study the oxidation mechanism of pyrite in a gold-leaching electrolyte. The surface oxidation reaction of pyrite is a multi-electron transfer electrochemical oxidation process. Based on this, electrochemical technology was used to explore the electrochemical oxidation mechanism of pyrite in a Cu2+-Cit3−-S2O3 2− system. The surface oxidation products of the pyrite were characterized by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The experiments showed that the thiosulfate concentration did not change the oxidation mechanism of pyrite at 0.30 V under the conditions of this experiment. Increasing the concentration and potential of thiosulfate accelerated the oxidation rate of pyrite. The electrochemical oxidation of pyrite in the Cu2+-Cit3−-S2O3 2− system occurred in two stages. At low potentials in a passivated state, the process was diffusion-controlled, and the surface oxidation rate was slow. When the potential exceeded 0.50 V, the passivation film on the surface was penetrated, allowing the oxidation reaction on the surface of pyrite to continue. The results of this experiment are useful for deepening the understanding of the oxidation mechanism of pyrite in electrolytes.

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy surface oxidation study of remote plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition-grown Ge1−xSnx/Si alloys

Recent progress in the remote plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition of Ge1−xSnx grown directly on Si substrates has improved crystal structure quality. To understand the impact of postgrowth storage, we study oxidation states of Ge1−xSnx alloys, for x values of 7.5%, 8.8%, 12.5%, and 19.3%. A surface oxidation layer formed naturally at room temperature over five months is quantified using angle-resolved x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The GeSn alloys exhibit a high surface oxide concentration with a minimum of 77% in Sn 3d peak analysis. Ge is less susceptible to oxidation than Sn, with oxidation percentages ranging from 25% to 86%. The Sn dopant enhances the oxidation features associated with the Ge 3p peak, aiding surface oxidation and penetrating further into the film. It is feasible that the 4+ state Sn from the precursor readily oxidizes postgrowth resulting in an oxide-rich surface layer.

Titanium versus plasma electrolytic oxidation surface-modified magnesium miniplates in a forehead secondary fracture healing model in sheep

Magnesium as a biodegradable material offers promising results in recent studies of different maxillo-facial fracture models. To overcome adverse effects caused by the fast corrosion of pure magnesium in fluid surroundings, various alloys, and surface modifications are tested in animal models. In specified cases, magnesium screws already appeared for clinical use in maxillofacial surgery. The present study aims to compare the bone healing outcome in a non-load-bearing fracture scenario of the forehead in sheep when fixed with standard-sized WE43 magnesium fixation plates and screws with plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) surface modification in contrast to titanium osteosynthesis. Surgery was performed on 24 merino mix sheep. The plates and screws were explanted en-bloc with the surrounding tissue after four and twelve weeks. The outcome of bone healing was investigated with micro-computed tomography, histological, immunohistological, and fluorescence analysis. There was no significant difference between groups concerning the bone volume, bone volume/ total volume, and newly formed bone in volumetric and histological analysis at both times of investigation. The fluorescence analysis revealed a significantly lower signal in the magnesium group after one week, although there was no difference in the number of osteoclasts per mm2. The magnesium group had significantly fewer vessels per mm2 in the healing tissue. In conclusion, the non-inferiority of WE43-based magnesium implants with PEO surface modification was verified concerning fracture healing under non-load-bearing conditions in a defect model. Statement of significanceTitanium implants, the current gold standard of fracture fixation, can lead to adverse effects linked to the implant material and often require surgical removal. Therefore, degradable metals like the magnesium alloy WE43 with plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) surface modification gained interest. Yet, miniplates of this alloy with PEO surface modification have not been examined in a fracture defect model of the facial skeleton in a large animal model. This study shows, for the first time, the non-inferiority of magnesium miniplates compared to titanium miniplates. In radiological and histological analysis, bone healing was undisturbed. Magnesium miniplates can reduce the number of interventions for implant removal, thus reducing the risk for the patient and minimizing the costs.

Effect of the contact load and rotation speed on the formation of rolling current-carrying arc and the corresponding material damage

The current-carrying arc is a critical factor that affects the electrical contact performance and material damage of contact pairs. In this study, a copper disk–copper disk pair was used to simulate the rolling electrical joint in a conductive rotating joint. Under operating conditions with a current of 2 A, rotation speeds from 4 to 600 r/min, and loads from 40 to 180 N, the dynamic behavior of the current-carrying arc and the surface damage mechanism were investigated. The movement characteristics of the arc at the friction interface were observed, and the arc generation difficulty and intensity were statistically analyzed based on the arc burning rate and arc energy. With increasing load and rotation speed, the generation of current-carrying tribological arcs became easier, and both the arc burning rate and arc energy increased. After the arc was generated, the arc root position was randomly distributed at the contact interface, exhibiting dynamic phenomena such as splitting and merging. Following the generation of the arc, the dominant damage mechanism at the current-carrying friction interface transitioned from mechanical damage to electrical damage. The manifestations of electrical damage included burning, oxidation, and roughening, with the degree of electrical damage positively correlated with the arc burning rate and arc energy. Surface oxidation could reduce the adhesion between metal contact pairs, contributing to a decrease in the current-carrying friction coefficient. Simultaneously, the film resistance caused by oxidation and the contraction resistance caused by roughening could lead to an increase in the average contact resistance.

Infrared Reflection-Absorption Spectroscopy (IRRAS) applied to oxides: Ceria as a case study

Infrared Reflection-Absorption Spectroscopy (IRRAS), a pivotal tool in the study of the surface chemistry of metals, has recently also gained substantial impact for oxide surfaces, despite the inherent challenges originating from their dielectric properties. This review focuses on the application of IRRAS to ceria (CeO2), a metal oxide for which a significant amount of experimental data exists. We elaborate on the differences in optical properties between metals and metal oxides, which result in lower intensity of adsorbate vibrational bands by approximately two orders of magnitude and polarization-dependent shifts of vibrational frequencies. We examine how the surface selection rule, governing IR spectroscopy of adsorbates on metals, contrasts sharply with the behavior of dielectrics where both positive and negative vibrational bands can occur, and how IRRAS can capture vibrations with transition dipole moments oriented parallel to the surface—a capability not feasible on metallic surfaces. Finally, this paper explores the broader implications of these findings for enhancing our understanding of molecule interactions on oxide surfaces, and for using IR spectroscopy for operando studies under technologically relevant conditions.

Improvement of apparent IFSS and specific modulus of CNT yarns

Due to the high strength of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) significant effort has been devoted to incorporating them into fibers and composites. To maximize their potential in these areas, there must be strong interactions between the CNT structures and the matrix of the composite. For CNT yarn, progress in this area has been limited. In this work, we present a method for modifying CNT yarn which improves the apparent interfacial shear strength (IFSS) by up to 45 %, as measured by single yarn pullout testing. An ammonium peroxide mixture (APM) treatment method is used to modify the yarn, and this is followed by treatment with commercial sizing agents. A tensioned heat treatment method is also employed to limit the effect of APM treatment on strength and modulus. This method increased the specific modulus of CNT yarns by as much as 16 %. The combined heat and chemical treatments yield increases as high as 43 % in IFSS and 6 % in specific tensile modulus while tempering the decreases in specific tensile strength. The yarn is characterized by SEM, EDS and Raman spectroscopy to show surface carbon being removed from the yarn, seemingly without damaging the CNT structures in the yarn. The main mechanism for IFSS increase appears to be removal of non-graphitic material from the yarn and slight oxidation of the yarn surface. The increase seen in IFSS has the potential to improve the performance of CNT yarn/polymer matrix composites for aerospace applications.

Initial oxidation of low index Mg surfaces investigated by SCLS and DFT

Magnesium (Mg) is a metal having a high structural efficiency and a very high chemical reactivity at the same time. Its potential areas of applications include the automotive industry, biomedicine, and energy storage and generation. Further developments in these very diverse application areas require a more detailed investigation of the behavior of Mg surfaces under oxidative conditions. The basic mechanisms of magnesium reactivity are not yet fully understood and therefore need to be further investigated by a combination of theoretical and experimental studies on representative surfaces with different crystallographic orientations.For this, we measured in situ high-resolution Mg 2p core level spectra at critical low-index Mg(0001), Mg(101¯0), and Mg(112¯0) surfaces to obtain surface core level shifts (SCLSs) at the early stages of Mg oxidation. We also used density functional theory (DFT) to obtain theoretical estimates of the SCLSs for respective surfaces and associated possible reconstructions to guide the analysis of the experimental spectra and to rule out un-reconstructed Mg(112¯0). DFT simulations were also used to reveal the energies of O atom adsorption, and the formation of evolving oxide structures in the Mg surfaces.

Autonomous self-healing strategy for flexible fiber lithium-ion battery with ultra-high mechanical properties and volumetric energy densities

The development of wearable devices urgently requires flexible, lightweight, and high-performance power solutions. Flexible fiber batteries are flexible and deformable, which holds great potential in this field. However, it still face significant challenges in achieving excellent electrochemical performance and good mechanical properties. Herein, we developed a new method for preparing flexible fiber lithium-ion batteries by surface etching and in-situ chemical cross-linking strategies using direct ink writing-based 3D printing technology. On the one hand, the surface of graphene oxide undergoes oxidation and etching to form pores. This unique pore structure provides additional channels for ions, which increases the ion transmission rate. On the other hand, polyvinyl alcohol/sodium metaborate is introduced into the printing ink/coagulation bath. In-situ chemical cross-linking occurs during the printing and curing process, which exhibits self-healing properties. The flexible fiber electrode has excellent strain (∼30 %) at the macro level, and the assembled fiber lithium-ion battery exhibits impressive volumetric energy density (157.9 mWh cm−3), which exceeds previously reported flexible fiber batteries. And it is also integrated into wearable smart watches for use in daily life. This work proposes an innovative method to fabricate high-performance flexible fiber electrodes, which is of great significance for promoting the development of future portable/wearable electronics.

Growth of micro-flowers behind hydrophobic polymer surface and impact of silver and tungsten oxide on the wetting characteristics

In this work, a simple and one-step process was demonstrated to develop hydrophobic polymer surfaces. Commercially available polycarbonate (PC) was treated to turn the front surface hydrophobic with an average wetting contact angle (WCA) as high as 110.5°. The formation of micro-flowers with a coverage density of 9.29 × 106/cm2 on the top of fine base nanostructures was confirmed by a high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). Impact of typical metal and metal oxide such as silver (Ag) and tungsten oxide (WO3) deposited on such hydrophobic surfaces was demonstrated. Petals of micro-flowers and fine base nanostructures were well decorated with functional metals such as Ag and thus the front surface remained hydrophobic with an average WCA as high as 106.6°. Abundant sharp spikes on the top of narrow hills and dips as revealed in the high-resolution FESEM investigation, were speculated to be the reason behind this hydrophobic characteristic. On the other hand, the hydrophobic surface (WCA of ∼ 110.5°) turned hydrophilic (WCA of ∼11.7°) when the surface was decorated with functional metal oxides, such as WO3. Sessile drop tests were carried out to record average WCA and to understand the wetting characteristics of the specimens. A plausible mechanism for such hydrophobic characteristics as well as the transition from a hydrophobic state to a hydrophilic state has been elucidated.

Investigation of the removal mechanism in amorphous carbon chemical mechanical polishing for achieving an atomic-scale roughness

Amorphous carbon is replacing conventional hard masks in semiconductor fabrication due to its exceptional etching selectivity towards silicate. After amorphous carbon deposition, a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is essential for planarizing the surface locally and globally. This study investigated the chemical oxidation and mechanical abrasion of amorphous carbon based on several factors, including pH, polishing pressure, and oxidants. Oxidants promoted the formation of C-O, C=O, and –COOH. Mechanical abrasion accelerates carbon surface oxidation and the removal of oxidized film. In addition, slurries containing three potent oxidants were evaluated: ferric nitrate with hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate, and cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN). These oxidants accelerated C–C breakage and increased the removal rate. In comparison, the slurry containing 1 wt% CAN exhibited a maximum removal rate of 480 Å/min and an atomic-scale roughness of 0.056 nm.

(B4C+Al2O3)/Al composites with excellent high temperature strength and thermal stability prepared by sintering in air atmosphere

B4C/Al composites are commonly used as neutron absorption materials. The introduction of amorphous Al2O3 through surface oxidation of Al powder can significantly enhance the mechanical properties of the composites; however, the thermal stability of the composite is compromised due to the inherent instability of amorphous Al2O3. In this study, (B4C + Al2O3)/Al composites were sintered in an air atmosphere with high pressure for the first time, generating stable γ-Al2O3. It was found that in comparison with the conventional vacuum sintering process, (B4C + Al2O3)/Al sintered in an air atmosphere exhibited increases in ultimate tensile strength of 42 % at room temperature and 90 % at 350 °C. Furthermore, due to the reaction between Al and oxygen, the composite exhibited exceptional thermal stability when subjected to annealing at 620 °C, demonstrating an ultimate tensile strength of 144 MPa at 350 °C, surpassing values reported in other studies.

Corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy surfaces substantially upgraded by gradient energy irradiation of femtosecond lasers

The poor corrosion resistance of magnesium (Mg) alloys is known to constitute a major obstacle to their practical applications. In this work we proposed an approach of femtosecond laser multi-grid-scanning with the gradual decreasing energy fluence, to modulate the surface oxide properties for the anti-corrosion performance enhancement. This kind of laser processing can significantly increase the oxide passivation layer thickness by more than 100 times compared with the bare sample, and improve the oxygen content on the material surface to as high as 55.87%. Simultaneously, the available size of MgO nanograins is further refined and has more spatially uniform distribution. Moreover, the massive production of micro/nano-structures by the femtosecond laser irradiation tends to promote the surface into the superhydrophobic with a contact angle of CA=162 ± 2 ° and a slide angle of SA=1.5 ± 0.5 °. As a result, the obtained optimal values for the corrosion current density and the annual corrosion rate are reduced to Icorr = 0.5 μA/cm2 and CR = 7×10-3mm/y, respectively, more than 2 orders of magnitude lower than the bare sample. Such a method provides an efficient strategy to enhance the corrosion resistance of metal surfaces for future applications.

Ni–Cr dental alloys - porcelain firing impact on corrosion properties and surface characteristics

Biocompatibility is a critical aspect of the use of materials in the human body. The use of base metal alloys in dentistry is primarily regulated by health and safety standards set by regulatory authorities in various countries. The porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) process applied to Ni-Cr dental alloys can alter their properties, particularly in terms of corrosion and surface characteristics. This study aimed to assess the effect of the heat processing used for dental porcelain firing on these properties. The two casted alloys: Ceramic N and Ivoclar Vivadent 4all, used in the study were characterized by analyzing the microstructure by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), composition with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), hardness, surface profile and electrochemical corrosion resistance (Ecorr, jcorr, polarization curve, Ebr and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results), as well as ions release before and after the simulated porcelain firing. Based on the conducted research the following conclusions can be drawn: Analyzes of the material characteristics before and after the simulation showed that the discussed process, although it does not cause the formation of chemical impurities on the surface of the alloys, results in changes in the chemical composition and structure of surface oxides, increases roughness and reduces hardness. The results of the corrosion examinations showed a deterioration in anti-corrosion properties after the simulation. The statistically significant decrease in corrosion resistance may result from the increased heterogeneity of the surface oxide layers and partial changes in their composition.

Surface anchoring requirements for vanadia clusters on titanium oxide surfaces and their impact on activity for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethanol

Titanium oxide site requirements for the anchoring of catalytically active forms of dispersed vanadia species are investigated. Using a series of oxygen-modified titanium nitride materials, we systematically modify the available vanadia-anchoring moieties on the titanium-bearing support surface. This strategy in turn results in a very narrow size distribution of well-dispersed vanadia clusters anchored on the support. This synthesis technique ensures that only highly dispersed vanadia is present on the catalyst surface even at nominal monolayer coverages. A deeper insight into the catalytic behavior for ethanol partial oxidation of the active vanadia species is obtained by comparing intrinsic kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of kinetically relevant reaction steps (heat of ethanol adsorption, hydrogen abstraction activation energy, and the energetics of catalyst reoxidation). It is found that these parameters are dependent on the relative amount of oxygen in the titanium-bearing support and the resulting distribution of vanadia species, which validates the premise of a potential participation of lattice oxygen atoms of the titania support into the catalytic activity of active vanadia species.

Adsorption stands for a promising technique for heavy metal remediation. Herein, a high efficiency adsorbent based on magnetic chitosan-graphene oxide (MCGO) was prepared via a simple co-precipitation procedure. Afterwards, adsorption behaviour of Pb(Ⅱ) on MCGO surface was illuminated via batch adsorption experiment and statistical physics calculation. Result presents, MCGO reaches adsorption percent and adsorption quantity 93.06 % and 372.24 mg·g−1 for Pb(Ⅱ) in 44 min, showcasing favorable remediation efficiency. Statistical physics calculation proposes multi-ionic adsorption mechanism. With the increase of temperature, adsorption site density is increased to yield ameliorated adsorption capacity. Moreover, calculation result of the thermodynamic functions designates exothermic, randomness increasing, spontaneous and energy releasing feature. Kinetic fitting based on various models assigns chemical interaction as the rate controlling step. Finally, adsorption mechanism was clarified in atomic level via spectroscopic inspection. Specifically, C=O, C–O, O–H, N+ and –C(=O)NH– contribute to Pb(Ⅱ) adsorption via donating lone pair electrons. This work provides both experimental and statistical physics insights for understanding the adsorption behaviour of typical heavy metal pollutants onto the surface of bio adsorbent like magnetic chitosan-graphene oxide.
