Relaxation of thermal stress by dislocation motion in passivated metal interconnects [PDF]
The development and relaxation of stress in metal interconnects strained by their surroundings (substrate and passivation layers) is predicted by a discrete dislocation analysis.

Evaluation of the Corrosion Performance of Carbon Steel and 316 Stainless Steel in aMDEA Solution Uused in the CO2 Absorption/Desorption Process [PDF]
One of the major challenges in natural gas sweetening plants is the corrosion of components in amine solution during the CO2 removal process. In this study, electrochemical tests (Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) were ...

In this paper we introduce a new notion of passivity which we call Krasovskii's passivity and provide a sufficient condition for a system to be Krasovskii's passive. Based on this condition, we investigate classes of port-Hamiltonian and gradient systems which are Krasovskii's passive.

The production of aluminum (Al) metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) by electrosynthesis using solid-state Al electrodes always faces significant challenges due to the formation of a passivating aluminum oxide layer in the process. Here, we developed a liquid-

Defect termination on crystalline silicon surfaces by hydrogen for improvement in the passivation quality of catalytic chemical vapor-deposited SiN_x and SiN_x/P catalytic-doped layers [PDF]
We investigate the role of hydrogen (H) in the improvement in the passivation quality of silicon nitride (SiN_x) prepared by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (Cat-CVD) and Cat-CVD SiN_x/phosphorus (P) Cat-doped layers on crystalline silicon (c-Si) by ...

Passive investors, not passive owners
Passive institutional investors are an increasingly important component of U.S. stock ownership. To examine whether and by which mechanisms passive investors influence firms' governance, we exploit variation in ownership by passive mutual funds associated with stock assignments to the Russell 1000 and 2000 indexes.

Before 1980 the argument that passive smoking was a serious health hazard was rather tenuous. It was claimed that it produced allergic reactions, impaired driving ability, reduced exercise tolerance in patients with cardiorespiratory disease and increased the risk of bronchitis and pneumonia in first-year children.

Sunrise to sunset optimization of thin film antireflective coatings for encapsulated, planar silicon solar cells [PDF]
We present an approach for the optimization of thin film antireflective coatings for encapsulated planar silicon solar cells in which the variations in the incident spectra and angle of incidence (AOI) over a typical day are fully considered.

S.8371-8376We are studying the thermal stability of thick hydrogenated amorphous aluminum oxide (Al 2O 3) layers (20-50 nm) prepared by a high-throughput plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor-deposition (PECVD) technique for the electrical passivation of ...

Effect of Corrosion Inhibitors on Chromate-free Passivation of Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel
Commercially available passivation methods for white-rust protection of Hot-Dip Galvanized steel have been applied for chromate passivation. However, hexavalent chromium (Cr-VI) is highly toxic and carcinogenic.
