Abstract: It is specified an interrelation between thermal effects in metals phase transformations and changes in structural parameters (coordination number) of the initial and new phases. It is offered the analytical dependences for calculation of the binding energy and atoms coordination numbers, the metals heat of formation, temperature and thermal effects of phase transitions in metals. It is analyzed the energy parameters of the Periodic System elements considering the type of their crystal lattices. By calculation it is estimated structural parameters of liquid and solid phases, thermal effects and the evaporation temperature of crystallization and polymorphic transformation, and energy formation for 55 elements, for which the literature contains reliable experimental data.

Abstract: Solid state ionization potential and electron affinity of iridium (III) metal complexes containing the 2-phenyl pyridine-type ligands was calculated using density functional theory (DFT). It is shown that the calculated results are in well agreement with the experimental values. With this approach, it is convince to obtain solid state ionization potentials and electron affinities of a range of neutral transition metal complexes.

Abstract: t is well established that the properties of the materials can be tailored as per specific requirements as a result of swift heavy ion irradiation. This is because of the radiation damage induced changes in the properties of the materials as a result of the energy loss process of the incident ions along their trajectory. In order to correlate such induced changes with the energy loss of the impinging ions, the exact evaluation of energy loss for swift ions in different materials is extremely important. Keeping in mind the polymers as versatile materials, in the present work, we have focused on energy loss calculations for swift heavy ions with Z= 3-29 in different polymeric absorbers, e.g. Polypropylene PP (C₃H₆), Polycarbonate PC (C₁₆H₁₄O₃), Polyethylene terepthalate PET (C₁₀H₈O₄), Polyethylene naphthalate PEN (C₇H₅O₂), Diethylene glycol bis (allyl carbonate) CR-39 (C₁₂H₁₈O₇), Cellulose nitrate LR-115 (C₆H₉O₉N₂) and Polypyromellitimide KAPTON (C₂₂H₁₀O₅N₂) in the energy range 0.5-6.00 MeV/n. The present calculations have been made by employing the proper energy loss formulation applicable both at low as well as high energies, involving a new approach for effective charge parameterization without any empirical/semi-empirical means. A close agreement between these calculated and experimentally measured values has been observed. Such calculations will provide an input towards the modeling or simulation for swift heavy ion induced changes in the properties of materials.

Abstract: The alignment behaviors of polyatomic molecules under femtosecond laser pulses are experimentally and theoretically investigated. We observe the field-free alignment in C2H2 and CO2 molecules with High-Order Harmonic Generation (HHG) and discuss the evolution of the molecular rotational wave-packet with different laser parameters and ionization potentials. The results show that the molecular alignment degree depends not only on the laser parameters, but also on the molecular ionization potential. Finally we suggest the optimal aligning laser intensity to maximize the alignment degree for practical application.

Abstract: It has been shown that megasonics can accelerate strip processes such as doped and plasma treated photoresist [1]. However, applied megasonic energy can also damage sensitive semiconductor devices. It was shown that adding a solvent such as IPA or lowering the temperature helps to control cavitation in semi-aqueous fluids [2]. Sonochemical reactions have been observed in various industries, however, there are no published observations in semiconductor cleaning. Ions may form in megasonic driven bubble collapse impacted by the characteristics of a gas or liquid that enters the bubble from the bulk liquid. Lower ionization potential gases or liquids may form ions earlier in the bubble collapse, so as to use up some of the total available energy through sonochemical reactions and possibly reducing the cavitations implosive energy. Here, tests are conducted to vary the liquid and gas type based on ionization potential to look into the impact this would have on cleaning and damage. It is shown that lower ionization or liquid additives lower the device damage.
