Effect of Wafer Size on the Film Internal Stress Measurement by Wafer Curvature Method

Wafer curvature method has been applied to determine the internal stress in the films using Stoney＇s equation.During the film deposition,the wafer fixation on the sample holder will restrict the deformation of the rectangle-shaped wafer,which may result in the stress datum difference along length and width direction.In this paper,the effect of wafer size and the wafer fixation on the TiN film internal stress measured by wafer curvature method was discussed.The rectangle-shaped wafers with different length/width ratios（L/W=1：1,2：1,3：1 and 4：1） were fixed as a cantilever beam.After the TiN films deposition,the profiles of the film/wafer were measured using a stylus profilometer and then the internal stress was calculated using the Stoney equation in the film.The results showed that the fixed end of the wafers limited to some degree the curvature of the wafers along the width direction.For film internal stress measured by wafer curvature method,the wafer profile should be scanned along the length direction and the scan distance should be greater than or equal to half of wafer length.When the length/width ratio of the wafer reached 3：1,the wafer curvature and the calculated stress were basically the same at different positions along the length direction.For film internal stress measured by wafer curvature method,it was recommended that the length/width ratio of wafer should be considered to be greater than or equal to 3：1,and the deformed profile was scanned along the length direction.

Sufficiency and Deficiency Indices of Soil Available Zinc for Rice in the Alluvial Soil of the Coastal Yellow Sea

To determine the sufficiency and deficiency indices of soil available Zn by the Agro Services International （ASI） method （ASI-Zn） for Zn fertilizer recommendation in rice production in the alluvial soil of the coastal Yellow Sea, the relationship between relative rice yield and soil available ASI-Zn concentration was analyzed from a ten-field experiment with various soil test classes ranging from low to high fertility in 2005 and 2006, and nine Zn fertilizer application rates （0, 7.5 15, 22.5, 30, 37.5, 45, 52.5 and 60 kg Zn/ha） arranged at random with three replications in each field. There was a significant quadratic relationship between soil available ASI-Zn and rice yield, and a significant linear relationship between soil available ASI-Zn concentration and Zn fertilization rate. For rice variety Wuyujing 3, soil available ASI-Zn was deficient when the value was at lower than 1 mg Zn/L, low at 1 to 2 mg Zn/L, sufficient at 1 to 2 mg Zn/L, excessive at higher than 7.5 mg Zn/L. Thus, Zn fertilizer recommendation could be done according to the sufficiency and deficiency indices of soil ASI-Zn. For most of alluvial soils of the coastal Yellow Sea in the study, the available ASI-Zn was lower than 1 mg Zn/L, and then the optimum application rate of Zn fertilizer was about 20 kg Zn/ha.

Quantitative Analysis of Fe Content in Iron Ore via External Calibration in Conjunction with Internal Standardization Method Coupled with LIBS

The external calibration in conjunction with internal standardization（ECIS） coupled with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopic（LIBS） technique was proposed to perform the quantitative analysis of Fe content in iron ore The plasma temperature and the electron number density were calculated to prove that the plasma was under local thermodynamic equilibrium（LTE） conditions and to ensure that the integral intensities of Fe I lines were reasonable. In addition, the result of the quantitative analysis shows a content of （20.26±0.59）% by mass of Fe in the iron ore. It was determined by four calibration curves, drawn for four emission lines of Fe I（373.48, 373.71,404.58 and 438.35 nm） normalized by Mn I line, base on the ECIS method which can eliminate the influence of matrix effect and improve the accuracy of quantitative analysis, compared with the standard addition method. Both the results of these two analytical methods were compared with that listed in the Standard Substance Certificate. The percentage content of Fe in the same sample of iron ore by the ECIS method was （20.17±0.08）% by mass, which shows a good performance to analyze the Fe content of iron ore in combination with LIBS.

Application of internal standard method in recombinant luminescent bacteria test

Mercury and its organic compounds have been of severe concern worldwide due to their damage to the ecosystem and human health. The development of effective and affordable technology to monitor and signal the presence of bioavailable mercury is an urgent need.The Mer gene is a mercury-responsive resistant gene, and a mercury-sensing recombinant luminescent bacterium using the Mer gene was constructed in this study. The mer operon from marine Pseudomonas putida strain SP1 was amplified and fused with prompterless lux CDABE in the p UCD615 plasmid within Escherichia coli cells, resulting in p THE30–E. coli.The recombinant strain showed high sensitivity and specificity. The detection limit of Hg^2＋was 5 nmol/L, and distinct luminescence could be detected in 30 min. Cd^2＋, Cu^2＋, Zn^2＋, Ca^2＋,Pb^2＋, Mg^2＋, Mn^2＋, and Al^3＋did not interfere with the detection over a range of 10-5–1 m M.Application of recombinant luminescent bacteria testing in environmental samples has been a controversial issue： especially for metal-sensing recombinant strains, false negatives caused by high cytotoxicity are one of the most important issues when applying recombinant luminescent bacteria in biomonitoring of heavy metals. In this study, by establishing an internal standard approach, the false negative problem was overcome;furthermore, the method can also help to estimate the suspected mercury concentration,which ensures high detection sensitivity of bioavailable Hg2＋.

Stable and unique graphitic Raman internal standard nanocapsules for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy quantitative analysis

Graphitic nanomaterials have unique, strong, and stable Raman vibrations that have been widely applied in chemistry and biomedicine. However, utilizing them as internal standards （ISs） to improve the accuracy of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy （SERS） analysis has not been attempted. Herein, we report the design of a unique IS nanostructure consisting of a large number of gold nanoparticles （AuNPs） decorated on multilayered graphitic magnetic nanocapsules （AGNs） to quantify the analyte and eliminate the problems associated with traditional ISs. The AGNs demonstrated a unique Raman band from the graphitic component, which was localized in the Raman silent region of the biomolecules, making them an ideal IS for quantitative Raman analysis without any background interference. The IS signal from the AGNs also indicated superior stability, even under harsh conditions. With the enhancement of the decorated AuNPs, the AGN nanostructures greatly improved the quantitative accuracy of SERS, in particular the exclusion of quantitative errors resulting from collection loss and non-uniform distribution of the analytes. The AGNs were further utilized for cell staining and Raman imaging, and they showed great promise for applications in biomedicine.

Internal wave parameter inversion based on Empirical Mode Decomposition

Wind, the result of earth rotation and other processes,inaugurate the phenomenon of oceanic internal waves（OIWs）, including driving turbulence, affecting nutrient and biomass distribution, and resuspending sediment. Therefore, a good understanding to OIWs＇ characters becomes a vital component to enhance its monitoring and utilization. The parameter inversion was conducted in the article for the OIW based on the empirical mode decomposition（EMD） method. The experimental data, the advanced synthetic aperture radar（ASAR） image, was captured in Dongsha Islands surrounding area on July 22, 2011. Considering the formation mechanism of internal waves, two important issues in the EMD method-the curve fitting and end effects-were studied. After comparing different algorithms, the cubic spline interpolation（CSI） was used for curve fitting and the boundary full-wave（BFW） method was applied to inhibit the end effects. Used this inversion method, the internal wave signal was extracted from the ASAR image, the distance of the internal wave between peak and trough was calculated, and the half-width of soliton was obtained as well. In addition, the inversion result is consistent with the previous experimental findings, which indicates the effectiveness of our algorithm.

Thermodynamic analysis for a third grade fluid through a vertical channel with internal heat generation

This paper makes the thermodynamic analysis in forced convective flow of a third grade fluid through a vertical channel. Due to the reactive nature of the fluid, the effect of internal heat generation is considered and assumed to be a linear function of temperature. The coupled nonlinear dimensionless ordinary differential equations governing the fluid flow are solved by using the Adomian decomposition method（ADM）. The effects of various physical parameters such as third grade material parameter, buoyancy parameter and heat generation parameter on the thermal structure of flow are presented and discussed.
