Protective film formation on AA2024-T3 aluminum alloy by leaching of lithium carbonate from an organic coating

An investigation into corrosion inhibition properties of a primer coating containing lithium carbonate as corrosion inhibitive pigment for AA2024 aluminum alloy was conducted. It was found that, during neutral salt spray exposure, a protective film of about 0.2 to 1.5 ?m thickness formed within the area where an artificial defect was introduced...

Single Ion Implantation into Si-Based Devices

Deterministic doping is crucial for overcoming dopant number variability in present nano-scale devices and for exploiting single atom degrees of freedom. The development of determinisitic doping schemes is required. Here, two approaches to the detection of single ion impact events in Si-based devices are reviewed. The first is via specialized...

Single Dopant Implantation into a Nanoscale MOSFET Devices

Drain current modulation in a nanoscale field-effect-transistor channel by single dopant implantation

We demonstrate single dopant implantation into the channel of a silicon nanoscale metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistor. This is achieved by monitoring the drain current modulation during ion irradiation. Deterministic doping is crucial for overcoming dopant number variability in present nanoscale devices and for exploiting single...
