Micro-RBS study of nickel silicide formation by Lee, Pooi See, Sum, Tze Chien, Seng, H. L., Osipowicz, T., Mangelinck, D., Watt, F.

“…The patterned samples investigated consist of an array of square pads (View the MathML source) of the structure Ni(Pt)Six/Poly-Si (2000 Å)/SiO2 (2500 Å)/Si and narrow lines of 100 μm length and linewidths of 5 and 2 μm. μ-RBS (∼View the MathML source beam spot) was used to obtain the thickness and stoichiometry of the silicide films for the square pads. The beam was focused to submicron dimensions for the scans over the narrow lines. μ-RBS results for the different silicide structures are presented and correlated with micro-Raman data.…”

Ultrahigh plateau-capacity sodium storage by plugging open pores by Peng, Jiao, Wang, Huanwen, Shi, Xiaojun, Fan, Hong Jin

“…In particular, a large portion of the capacity (490 mAh g-1) lies below the plateau of 0.25 V, which originates from the pore-filling mechanism as revealed by in situ Raman. This study provides a straightforward method to modulate the pore structure of carbon materials, and an energy-efficient (900 °C) synthesis for HC compared to traditional high-temperature routes (e.g., ≈1300-2000 °C).…”
