Bulk measurement of copper and sodium content in CuIn(0.7)Ga(0.3)Se(2) (CIGS) solar cells with nanosecond pulse length laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) [PDF]
In this work, we show that laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) with a nanosecond pulse laser can be used to measure the copper and sodium content of CuIn(0.7)Ga(0.3)Se(2) (CIGS) thin film solar cells on molybdenum. This method has four significant advantages over methods currently being employed: the method is inexpensive, measurements can be ...

Intrauterine contraceptive device perforating the cecum, a pregnancy complication?
Intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) is a widely used method of contraception worldwide. Displacement of the IUCD extrauterine, by perforating the uterus and migration, is a serious complication following its insertion.

Copper Electrodeposition for 3D Integration [PDF]
Two dimensional (2D) integration has been the traditional approach for IC integration. Due to increasing demands for providing electronic devices with superior performance and functionality in more efficient and compact packages, has driven the semiconductor industry to develop more advanced packaging technologies.

Light induced resistive switching in copper oxide thin films [PDF]
Copper oxide thin film based metal-insulator-metal structures were subjected to white light irradiation.The top electrodes included Al, Cr and Ni while the bottom electrode was either Au or Pt. A white light pulse controls the set process and this light induced set (LIS) can be performed at very low voltages (tens of milli volts) which is not possible ...

Corrosion of copper intrauterine devices: review and recent developments
AbstractA systematic review of the literature about the corrosion of copper in intrauterine devices (IUDs) was conducted, an important topic of copper application that apparently may not be well known to a broad corrosion audience. Copper IUDs (Cu-IUDs) are one of the most widely used contraceptive methods around the world, particularly in China, India,

Spin injection and spin accumulation in permalloy-copper mesoscopic spin valves [PDF]
We study the electrical injection and detection of spin currents in a lateral spin valve device, using permalloy (Py) as ferromagnetic injecting and detecting electrodes and copper (Cu) as non-magnetic metal. Our multi-terminal geometry allows us to experimentally distinguish different magneto resistance signals, being 1) the spin valve effect, 2) the ...

Electrical conductivity of collapsed multilayer graphene tubes [PDF]
Synthesis of multilayer graphene on copper wires by a chemical vapor deposition method is reported. After copper etching, the multilayer tube collapses forming stripes of graphitic films, their electrical conductance as a function of temperature indicate a semiconductor-like behavior. Using the multilayer graphene stripes, a cross junction is built and

Wettability and Color Change of Copper by Controlling Area Fraction of Laser Ablated Surface [PDF]
In this research, wettability control by area fraction of laser ablated surface of copper is presented. The functional surfaces with full wettability control from highly hydrophilic to super-hydrophobic were created on copper by nanosecond (ns) and picosecond (ps) laser irradiation.
