High-Tc superconductivity in entirely end-bonded multi-walled carbon nanotubes
We report that entirely end-bonded multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) can
show superconductivity with the transition temperature Tc as high as 12K that
is approximately 40-times larger than those reported in ropes of single-walled
nanotubes. We find that emergence of this superconductivity is very sensitive
to junction structures of Au electrode/MWNTs. This reveals that only MWNTs with
optimal numbers of electrically activated shells, which are realized by the
end-bonding, can allow the superconductivity due to inter shell effects.Comment: 5 page
Investigation of the ion dose non-uniformity caused by sheath-lens focusing effect on silicon wafers
Charging and trapping of macroparticles in near-electrode regions of fluorocarbon plasmas with negative ions
Charging and trapping of macroparticles in the near-electrode region of fluorocarbon etching plasmas with negative ions is considered. The equilibrium charge and forces on particles are computed as a function of the local position in the plasma presheath and sheath. The ionic composition of the plasma corresponds to the etching experiments in 2.45 GHz surface-wave sustained and 13.56 MHz inductively coupled C4F8+Ar plasmas. It is shown that despite negligible negative ion currents collected by the particles, the negative fluorine ions affect the charging and trapping of particulates through modification of the sheath/presheath structure
