In this paper, an analytical threshold voltage model is developed for a short-channel double-material-gate (DMG) strained-silicon (s-Si) on silicon-germanium ($Si_{1-X}Ge_X$) MOSFET structure. The proposed threshold voltage model is based on the so called virtual-cathode potential formulation. The virtual-cathode potential is taken as minimum channel potential along the transverse direction of the channel and is derived from two-dimensional (2D) potential distribution of channel region. The 2D channel potential is formulated by solving the 2D Poisson's equation with suitable boundary conditions in both the strained-Si layer and relaxed $Si_{1-X}Ge_X$ layer. The effects of a number of device parameters like the Ge mole fraction, Si film thickness and gate-length ratio have been considered on threshold voltage. Further, the drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) has also been analyzed for gate-length ratio and amount of strain variations. The validity of the present 2D analytical model is verified with ATLAS$^{TM}$, a 2D device simulator from Silvaco Inc.

Objective : In the pediatric population the skull has not yet undergone ossification and it is assumed that the diagnostic rate of skull fractures by simple X-rays are lower than that of adults. It has been recently proposed that the diagnostic rates of skull fractures by 3-dimensional computer tomography (3D-CT) are higher than simple X-rays. The authors therefore attempted to compare the diagnostic rates of pediatric skull fractures by simple X-rays and 3D-CTs with respect to the type of fracture. Methods : One-hundred patients aged less than 12 years who visited the Emergency Center for cranial injury were subject to simple X-rays and 3D-CTs. The type and location of the fractures were compared and Kappa statistical analysis and the t-test were conducted. Results : Among the 100 pediatric patients, 65 were male and 35 were female. The mean age was $50{\pm}45$ months. 63 patients had simple skull fractures and 22 had complex fractures, and the types of fractures were linear fractures in 74, diastatic fractures 15, depressed fractures in 10, penetrating fracture in 1, and greenstick fractures in 3 patients. Statistical difference was observed for the predictive value of simple skull fractures' diagnostic rate depending on the method for diagnosis. A significant difference of the Kappa value was noted in the diagnosis of depressed skull fractures and diastatic skull fractures. Conclusion : In the majority of pediatric skull fractures, 3D-CT showed superior diagnosis rates compared to simple skull X-rays and therefore 3D-CT is recommended whenever skull fractures are suspected. This is especially true for depressed skull fractures and diastatic skull fractures.

KD₂PO₄ single crystals were grown from D₂O with reagent KH₂PO₄ and the crystal structure was determined by X-ray and neutron diffraction methods. The crystals are tetragonal at room temperature, I42d, with lattice parameters of a=7.4633(7), c=6.9785(5) Å and Z=4. Intensity data were collected on an Enraf-nonius CAD4 diffractometer with a graphite monochromated MoK/sub α/ radiation (λ=0.7107Å) and on the neutron four circle single crystal diffractometer with Ge(331) monochromated neutron beam (λ=0.997Å). The structure was refined by full-matrix least-square to final R and wR values of 0.030 and 0.072, respectively, for 204 observed reflections with I>2σ(I) by X-ray diffraction and to final R=0.041 and wR=0.096 for 144 observed relfecdtions by neutron diffraction. The O…O distance of 2.516(4)Å obtained by X-ray diffraction is the same as that of 2.515(4)Å by neutron diffraction. On the other hand, the O-D/H distance of 0.84(4)Å by X-ray diffraction is considerably shorter than 1.029(7) Åby neutron diffraction. Hydrogen and deuterium can be readily distinguished by neutrons. In this crystal 66% of H-positions were substituted by D and the rest 34% occupied by H. The phase transition temperature of DKDP obtained with deuteration levels is f193K. This value agrees fairly well with the result of DSC measurement. The nuclear density distribution by neutron diffraction provides an observation of the disordered state of D/H in KD₂PO₄ at room temperature.

In order to improve the hydrophilic property on the surface of d-PMMA(deuterated poly-(methyl methacrylate)) film, it was exposed to oxygen plasma, All experimental conditions were same except to plasma exposure time that was varied from 0 to 180 s, The effects according to the exposure time were identified using contact angles, X-ray reflectometer(XRR), neutron reflectometer(NR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). By confirming that as the exposure time increases, water contact angle decreases while the composition of oxygen increases, it was confirmed that the composition of oxygen has a huge influence on improving the hydrophilic property. The physical characters as a function of the exposure time were investigated by the XRR. By analyzing complementally the results of the XRR, NR, and XPS, more detailed chemical bonding conditions were studied by obtaining not only composition of the carbon and oxygen but that of the hydrogen.

The spreading tube of X-ray cathode tube displayed with an electromagnetic finite element method was designed. To analyze a feature design and the concrete coordinate performance of soft X-ray tube modeling, the orbit of electron beam was simulated by OPERA-3D SW program. The fixed conditions were the applied voltage, the temperature, the work function of thermal electron between cathode and anode of tungsten. Through the analysis of distribution of electron beam and the variation of dividing region, the design of soft X-ray spreading tube equipped with two cross filaments was optimized.

Let E be a locally convex Hausdorff space and let $\Gamma$ be a calibration for E. In this note we proved that if E is sequentially complete and a multi-vaiued operaturA in E is $\Gamma$-accretive such that $D(A){\subset}Re$ (I+$\lambda$A) for all sufficiently small positive $\lambda$, then A generates a nonlinear $\Gamma$-contraction semiproup {T(t) ; t>0}. We also proved that if E is complete, $Gamma$ is a dually uniformly convex calibration, and an operator A is m-$\Gamma$-accretive, then the initial value problem $$\{{\frac{d}{dt}u(t)+Au(t)\;\ni\;0,\;t >0,\atop u(0)=x}\.$$ has a solution $u:[0,\infty){\rightarrow}E$ given by $u(t)=T(t)x={lim}\limit_{n\rightarrow\infty}(I+\frac{t}{n}A)^{-n}x$ each $x{\varepsilon}D(A)$.

Some annulus oscillation criteria are established for the second order damped elliptic differential equation $$\sum\limits_{i,j=1}^N D_i[a_{ij}(x)D_jy]+\sum\limits_{i=1}^Nb_i(x)D_iy+C(x,y)=0$$ under quite general assumption that they are based on the information only on a sequence of annuluses of $\Omega(r_0)$ rather than on the whole exterior domain $\Omega(r_0)$. Our results are extensions of those due to Kong for ordinary differential equations. In particular, the results obtained here can be applied to the extreme case such as ${\int}_{\Omega(r0)}c(x)dx=-\infty$.

Resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization with time-of-flight product imaging of the $N(^2D)$ atoms has been used to study the $N_2O$ photodissociation at 118.2 nm and the two-photon dissociation at 268.9 nm. These imaging experiments allowed the determination of the total kinetic energy distribution of the $NO(X^2{\prod})$ and $N(^2D_{5/2})$ products. The $NO(X^2{\prod})$ fragments resulting from the photodissociation processes are produced in highly vibrationally excited states. The two-photon photodissociation process yields a broad $NO(X^2{\prod})$ vibrational energy distribution, while the 118.2 nm dissociation appears to produce a vibrational distribution sharply peaked at $NO(X^2{\prod},\;{\nu}=14)$.

We investigate the eigenvalues of the semi-circulant preconditioned matrix for the finite difference scheme corresponding to the second-order elliptic operator with the variable coefficients given by $L_vu\;:=-{\Delta}u+a(x,\;y)u_x+b(x,\;y)u_y+d(x,\;y)u$, where a and b are continuously differentiable functions and d is a positive bounded function. The semi-circulant preconditioning operator $L_cu$ is constructed by using the leading term of $L_vu$ plus the constant reaction term such that $L_cu\;:=-{\Delta}u+d_cu$. Using the field of values arguments, we show that the eigenvalues of the preconditioned matrix are clustered at some number. Some numerical evidences are also provided.
