The influence of mask thickness on charging damage during overetching [PDF]
, 1997 Feature-scale charging simulations during gate electrode overetching in high-density plasmas reveal that the thickness of the insulating mask plays a critical role in charging damage. When thinner masks are used, the electron irradiance of the conductive

Exploring the potential of forest snow modeling at the tree and snowpack layer scale [PDF]
The CryosphereBoreal and sub-alpine forests host seasonal snow for multiple months per year; however, snow regimes in these environments are rapidly changing due to rising temperatures and forest disturbances.

Studying Snow Failure With Fiber Bundle Models
Frontiers in Physics, 2020 Snow is a highly porous material with properties that may strongly differ depending on the environmental conditions. On slopes, the layered snowpack may fail and avalanches occur.

Polarimetry of Water Ice Particles Providing Insights on Grain Size and Degree of Sintering on Icy Planetary Surfaces [PDF]
, 2018 The polarimetry of the light scattered by planetary surfaces is a powerful tool to provide constraints on their microstructure. To improve the interpretation of polarimetric data from icy surfaces, we have developed the POLarimeter for ICE Samples ...

Electrical and Self-Sensing Properties of Alkali-Activated Slag Composite with Graphite Filler [PDF]
, 2019 The electrical properties of concrete are gaining their importance for the application in building construction. In this study, graphite powder was added to alkali-activated slag mortar as an electrically conductive filler in order to enhance the mortar ...

Estimating Snow Water Equivalent with Backscattering at X and Ku Band Based on Absorption Loss
Remote Sensing, 2016 Snow water equivalent (SWE) is a key parameter in the Earth’s energy budget and water cycle. It has been demonstrated that SWE can be retrieved using active microwave remote sensing from space. This necessitates the development of forward models that are

Measurement of snow density and microstructure using computed tomography [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2002 AbstractIn the past, two-dimensional images of internal snow structure have been obtained through plane surface sections or thin sections. These techniques are time-consuming and necessarily destroy the snow specimen. Computed tomography (CT) allows similar images to be obtained, but in a more efficient and non-destructive manner.

Effect of Surface‐Lubricant Compatibility on Bubble Formation in Lubricant‐Infused Surfaces
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Lubricant‐infused surfaces reduce drag partly through bubbles that form when lubricant depletes. Using laser‐textured steel infused with silicone oil, we show that microbubble nucleation occurs even on surfaces fully wetted by the lubricant, regardless of chemistry.

Numerical homogenization of the viscoplastic behavior of snow based on X-ray tomography images [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 While the homogenization of snow elastic properties has been widely reported in the literature, homogeneous rate-dependent behavior responsible for the densification of the snowpack has hardly ever been upscaled from snow microstructure.
