Reducing contact resistance at semiconductor to metal or aluminum to metal interfaces

Etchant containing chloroplatinous or chloroplatinic acid greatly reduces contact resistance between metallic surfaces. Etching results in a monolayer plating of platinum on the wafer surface, preventing oxide growth

The Steady-State Transport of Oxygen through Hemoglobin Solutions

The steady-state transport of oxygen through hemoglobin solutions was studied to identify the mechanism of the diffusion augmentation observed at low oxygen tensions. A novel technique employing a platinum-silver oxygen electrode was developed to measure the effective diffusion coefficient of oxygen in steady-state transport. The measurements were made over a wider range of hemoglobin and oxygen concentrations than previously reported. Values of the Brownian motion diffusion coefficient of oxygen in hemoglobin solution were obtained as well as measurements of facilitated transport at low oxygen tensions. Transport rates up to ten times greater than ordinary diffusion rates were found. Predictions of oxygen flux were made assuming that the oxyhemoglobin transport coefficient was equal to the Brownian motion diffusivity which was measured in a separate set of experiments. The close correlation between prediction and experiment indicates that the diffusion of oxyhemoglobin is the mechanism by which steady-state oxygen transport is facilitated

Diffusivity Measurements of Human Methemoglobin

Experimental measurements of the diffusion coefficient of human methemoglobin were made at 25°C with a modified Stokes diaphragm diffusion cell. A Millipore filter was used in place of the ordinary fritted disc to facilitate rapid achievement of steady state in the diaphragm. Methemoglobin concentrations varied from approximately 5 g/100 ml to 30 g/100 ml. The diffusion coefficient in this range decreased from 7.5 x 10^(-7) cm^2/sec to 1.6 x 10^(-7) cm^2/sec
