Published: January 2017

The Dieterich (1994) Rate/State formulation was applied for the seismicity rate changes in the western part of the Hellenic arc to be investigated. The completeness magnitude of the shallow seismicity (h<60km) was firstly evaluated for different time windows. The spatio-temporal changes of these seismicity rates (reference rates) were studied then for the interevent periods between successive strong(M≥6.0) earthquakes. These changes were correlated with the Coulomb stress changes (ΔCFF) produced by the stronger events, through a Rate/State model which incorporates physical parameters associated with fault dynamics such as the tectonic stressing rate, fault constitutive parameters and frictional response of the rupture zones. The influence of the former parameters in the model performance wastested by evaluating the linear correlation coefficient between modeled and real earthquake production rates along with their confidence limits. Application of different parameter values was attempted for the sensitivity of the calculated seismicity rates and their fit to the real data to be tested. Given the geographical peculiarity of the Hellenic Subduction zone, that yields to high uncertainties in the earthquake focal parameter determination, the results demonstrate that the present formulation and the available data sets are sufficient enough to contribute to a robust seismic hazard assessment.

The June 2008, Mw6.4 Achaia-Ilia earthquake was the first recorded dextral strikeslip event of considerable magnitude in western Peloponnese, which, nevertheless, could not be related to any of the known/mapped structures at the ground surface. Published locations of the mainshock focus by various agencies/researchers differ by as much as 6 km and 16 km in the horizontal and vertical dimensions, respectively, making even more difficult the accurate siting of the seismogenic fault. However, the 2008 earthquake provided a valuable set of near-fault strong motion data, which could shed some light on the problem of accurately locating the earthquake source. To this end, we use the discrete wavenumber method to forward model the strongground motion records at three stations, located close to the prolongation of the 2008 strike. We test different locations and lengths for the ruptured plane and compare synthetic polarities and amplitudes of the first strong S-wave pulse to actual data. We conclude that the line of maximum moment release (our fault models are vertical planes) during the 2008 earthquake is located to the east of the imaginary line connecting stations PAT2 and AMAA and to the west of station PYR1.

Published: January 2017

Due to increased demand and use of water resources, the European Union has established the (WFD) Water Framework Directive 2000/60 for Community action in the field of water policy. In order to achieve better water protection and management, Member States must identify and analyse European waters, on the basis of individual river basin and district. Precipitation and air temperature are directly related and at the same way interacted to the hydrological cycle and therefore with water resources. The objective on this study is to present the spatial and temporal distribution of precipitation and air temperature in Macedonia, by using GIS software (ArcMap 9.3). The data used were retrieved from 82 different meteorological stations, which belong to the Ministry of Rural Development and Food, and correspond to the thirty year period (1974-2004); all stations provided continuous daily data of precipitation while 43 of them provided also daily data of temperature. The annual temperature range and the annual total precipitation amount were calculated, at each individual station, for the thirty years of the examined period. By using GIS software and triangular interpolation scheme, the thematic maps of Macedonia for the aforementioned parameters and thermal continentality K were created. Furthermore, possible mean annual evapotranspiration for each meteorological station was estimated by Turc, Coutagne and Thornthwaite algorithms.

Published: January 2017

AbstractCoPt-C and FePt-C nanocomposite thin films were prepared by a pulsed filtered vacuum arc deposition technique. Thermal annealing was performed in vacuum at various temperatures. The dependence of the magnetic properties on the carbon fraction and annealing temperature was studied. Both x-ray diffraction and magnetic force microscopy analyses confirmed the formation of nano-crystallites of face-centered-tetragonal phase of CoPt or FePt in the carbon matrix after annealing at a sufficiently high temperature. For the film with a particular composition of Fe43Pt35C22, the coercivity and the grain size were observed to increase with increasing annealing temperature, up to a value of 3.5 kOe at an annealing temperature of 650°C, and with a grain size about 10.5 nm.

AbstractThe rapid adoption of damascene copper technology has brought about an increased need to understand and control microstructure in the barrier and metal layers during processing. We have developed and implemented a methodology for rapidly characterizing thin film polycrystalline microstructures on 200 mm Si substrates using an X-ray diffraction (XRD) based metrology tool to measure crystallographic texture and phase in a time frame suitable for in-line applications. The acquired data can be used as a direct measure of the deposition process in terms of film quality, reproducibility and stability over time. The spatial distribution of crystallographic texture and phase can be measured on a single wafer in order to check within wafer uniformity. These same measurements can also be carried out at predetermined intervals on wafers from single deposition tools, with the results used to create a database that can be applied to process control trend charting and to the establishment of acceptance criteria. The methodology developed makes use of several novel data analysis and collection techniques, such as the use of a direct matrix transformation method to determine the orientation distribution function (ODF) from a group of truncated pole figures. Useful quantitative outputs of the ODF, such as volumetric fractions of crystallographic texture components, can be used in quantifying texture evolution within and between wafers. On-the-fly texture compensation can also be used to generate useful quantitative phase and film thickness measurements. We present the principles of operation of this metrology tool and selected examples collected in the IBM's Advanced Semiconductor Technology Center (ASTC), East Fishkill, NY.
Texture Development and Twinning in Polycrystalline Gold Thin Films
Authors: Cefalu Rachel E. , King Alexander H. 
Published: January 2017

AbstractGold thin films have a {111} texture component that strengthens during heating. We show that this texture can be affected by the formation of twins, which may be influenced by the substrate material. Gold thin films were evaporated onto rock salt and glass substrates, and incrementally annealed without removal from the substrate. The texture was mapped using an area detector x-ray diffractometer. The films showed a primary {111} fiber texture and a secondary {200} fiber texture on both substrates with the addition of a {511} fiber texture component, which is much more pronounced on rock salt than on other substrates. The {511} surface normal derives from a twin rotation, showing that there is more twinning on rock salt than on glass although there is no lattice matching between the rock salt and gold.

AbstractCu may diffuse into the active areas of semiconductors resulting in degradation of the devices. Therefore Cu is isolated from silicon wafers by barrier layers. In this study, copper films were deposited onto silicon substrates coated using polycrystalline Ta3N5 and amorphous α-C:H barrier by the partially ionized beam deposition technique at 6 kV bias, to investigate an influence of barrier layer structure on texture and microstructure of Cu films. After deposition, films were annealed under vacuum. Texture of the films was studied by X-ray diffraction and further microstructural analysis of the copper films was performed by orientation imaging microscopy. Results of the structural analysis reveal large (100) grains in films deposited on α-C:H barrier layer and a bi-modal texture in films on Ta3N5.

AbstractIndium tin oxide is one of the most used transparent conducting oxides. In order to reduce the processing thermal budget and enhance compatibility of these films for such applications as transparent electrodes for solar cells and flat panel displays, lower deposition temperatures are desirable. The addition of a non-thermal energy source during deposition, in this case, a mercury lamp, has the ability to lower the required substrate temperature during processing while increasing the oxygen content of the deposited film through the added contribution of ionized species into the deposited material. We investigated the microstructure of UV-assisted pulsed laser deposited indium tin oxide films. Comparisons between the UV and non-UV films were made in order to judge the effectiveness of the UV radiation in achieving desirable properties.

The residue of 17a-methyltestosterone (MT) in fish has been a concern related to food and the environment safety. This study aimed to determine sex ratio of Nile tilapia treated by MT immersion at 36 °C water temperature, and measure the level of testosterone in fish body. Three hundreds of ten-day-old post hatched larvae was immersed in one liter of water containing 2 mg MT, at 26 °C and 36 °C. Immersion was performed for 2 and 4 hours. The results showed that immersion at 36 °C and increasing immersion time increased male percentage. Higher male percentage was obtained in treatment 4 hours immersion at 36 °C (92.5% male) and the effective treatmen 4 hours immersion at room temperature. By ELISA method, testosterone level in MT treated fish decreased sharply to 88.2% at one month after immersion, and being the same as control without MT immersion. Thus, masculization in tilapia could be performed by MT immersion at 36 °C water temperature for 4 hours, and it is most likely that no MT residual in fish after one month post immersion.
