Deposition And Surface Modification Of Low-K Thin Films For Ild Application In Ulsi Circuits
The low-k thin films have been deposited successfully by sol gel technique using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) precursor and the surface of deposited thin films have been modified by wet chemical treatment using trimethylcholorsilane (TMCS) and hexane solution with 15 % volume ratio to remove the hydroxyl groups from the surface of deposited low-k thin films. The characterization of the as deposited and surface modified low-k thin films has been carried out by Ellipsometer, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, and contact angle meter. For the determination of the dielectric constant of the deposited thin film the metal –insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure was formed by depositing the Aluminium (Al) metal on the low-k thin film. Further the capacitance-voltage curve of the MIS structure has been obtained at 1 MHz frequency. The dielectric constant of the as deposited thin film is found to be 2.15. The lowering of O-H peaks and appearance of CH3 peaks in FTIR spectra confirms the surface modification of SiO2 films. The contact angle of the deposited thin film is changed from 83.3° to 104° after surface modification that validates the transformation of thin film surface from hydrophilic to hydrophobic after the surface modification treatment.

Wave attenuation to clock sojourn times
The subject of time in quantum mechanics is of perennial interest especially
because there is no observable for the time taken by a particle to transmit (or
reflect) from a particular region. Several methods have been proposed based on
scattering phase shifts and using different quantum clocks, where the time
taken is clocked by some external input or indirectly from the phase of the
scattering amplitudes. In this work we give a general method for calculating
conditional sojourn times based on wave attenuation. In this approach clock
mechanism does not couple to the Hamiltonian of the system. For simplicity,
specific case of a delta dimer is considered in detail. Our analysis re-affirms
recent results based on correcting quantum clocks using optical potential
methods, albeit in a much simpler way.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures. Minor corrections made and journal reference

Dephasing via stochastic absorption: A case study in Aharonov-Bohm oscillations
The Aharonov-Bohm ring has been the mainstay of mesoscopic physics research
since its inception. In this paper we have dwelt on the problem of dephasing of
AB oscillations using a phenomenological model based on stochastic absorption.
To calculate the conductance in the presence of inelastic scattering we have
used the method due to Brouwer and Beenakker. We have shown that conductance is
symmetric under flux reversal and visibility of AB oscillations decay to zero
as a function of the incoherence parameter thus signalling dephasing in the
system. Some comments are made on the relative merits of stochastic absorption
with respect to optical potential model, which have been used to mimic
dephasing.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures Minor corrections made and journal reference adde
Hartman effect in presence of Aharanov Bohm flux
The Hartman effect for the tunneling particle implies the independence of
group delay time on the opaque barrier width, with superluminal velocities as a
consequence. This effect is further examined on a quantum ring geometry in the
presence of Aharonov-Bohm flux. We show that while tunneling through an opaque
barrier the group delay time for given incident energy becomes independent of
the barrier thickness as well as the magnitude of the flux. The Hartman effect
is thereby extended beyond one dimension and in the presence of Aharonov-Bohm
flux.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Distribution of Wigner delay time from single channel disordered systems
We consider the scattering of an electron from a semi-infinite
one-dimensional random medium. The random medium is characterized by force,
-\d V/\d L being the basic random variable. We obtain an analytical
expression for the stationary delay time () distribution
within a random phase approximation. Our result agrees with earlier analytical
expressions, where the random potential is taken to be of different kind,
indicating universality of the delay time distribution, i.e., delay time
distribution is independent of the nature of disorder.Comment: 8 pages RevTeX, no figure
In-field entanglement distribution over a 96 km-long submarine optical fibre
Techniques for the distribution of quantum-secured cryptographic keys have
reached a level of maturity allowing them to be implemented in all kinds of
environments, away from any form of laboratory infrastructure. Here, we detail
the distribution of entanglement between Malta and Sicily over a 96 km-long
submarine telecommunications optical fibre cable. We used this standard
telecommunications fibre as a quantum channel to distribute
polarisation-entangled photons and were able to observe around 257 photon pairs
per second, with a polarisation visibility above 90%. Our experiment
demonstrates the feasibility of using deployed submarine telecommunications
optical fibres as long-distance quantum channels for polarisation-entangled
photons. This opens up a plethora of possibilities for future experiments and
technological applications using existing infrastructure.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
Newtonian Analysis of Gravitational Waves from Naked Singularity
Spherical dust collapse generally forms a shell focusing naked singularity at
the symmetric center. This naked singularity is massless. Further the Newtonian
gravitational potential and speed of the dust fluid elements are everywhere
much smaller than unity until the central shell focusing naked singularity
formation if an appropriate initial condition is set up. Although such a
situation is highly relativistic, the analysis by the Newtonian approximation
scheme is available even in the vicinity of the space-time singularity. This
remarkable feature makes the analysis of such singularity formation very easy.
We investigate non-spherical even-parity matter perturbations in this scheme by
complementary using numerical and semi-analytical approaches, and estimate
linear gravitational waves generated in the neighborhood of the naked
singularity by the quadrupole formula. The result shows good agreement with the
relativistic perturbation analysis recently performed by Iguchi et al. The
energy flux of the gravitational waves is finite but the space-time curvature
carried by them diverges.Comment: 23 pages, 8 figure
Profiles of emission lines generated by rings orbiting braneworld Kerr black holes
In the framework of the braneworld models, rotating black holes can be
described by the Kerr metric with a tidal charge representing the influence of
the non-local gravitational (tidal) effects of the bulk space Weyl tensor onto
the black hole spacetime. We study the influence of the tidal charge onto
profiled spectral lines generated by radiating tori orbiting in vicinity of a
rotating black hole. We show that with lowering the negative tidal charge of
the black hole, the profiled line becomes to be flatter and wider keeping their
standard character with flux stronger at the blue edge of the profiled line.
The extension of the line grows with radius falling and inclination angle
growing. With growing inclination angle a small hump appears in the profiled
lines due to the strong lensing effect of photons coming from regions behind
the black hole. For positive tidal charge () and high inclination angles
two small humps appear in the profiled lines close to the red and blue edge of
the lines due to the strong lensing effect. We can conclude that for all values
of , the strongest effect on the profiled lines shape (extension) is caused
by the changes of the inclination angle.Comment: Accepted by General Relativity and Gravitatio
Statistical properties of phases and delay times of the one-dimensional Anderson model with one open channel
We study the distribution of phases and of Wigner delay times for a
one-dimensional Anderson model with one open channel. Our approach, based on
classical Hamiltonian maps, allows us an analytical treatment. We find that the
distribution of phases depends drastically on the parameter where is the variance of the disorder distribution and
the wavevector. It undergoes a transition from uniformity to singular
behaviour as increases. The distribution of delay times shows
universal power law tails , while the short time behaviour is
- dependent.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, Submitted to PR
Naked Singularity Formation In f(R) Gravity
We study the gravitational collapse of a star with barotropic equation of
state in the context of theories of gravity.
Utilizing the metric formalism, we rewrite the field equations as those of
Brans-Dicke theory with vanishing coupling parameter. By choosing the
functionality of Ricci scalar as , we
show that for an appropriate initial value of the energy density, if
and satisfy certain conditions, the resulting singularity would be naked,
violating the cosmic censorship conjecture. These conditions are the ratio of
the mass function to the area radius of the collapsing ball, negativity of the
effective pressure, and the time behavior of the Kretschmann scalar. Also, as
long as parameter obeys certain conditions, the satisfaction of the
weak energy condition is guaranteed by the collapsing configuration.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figures, to appear in GR
