Article Synopsis
  • - The study explores how lime treatment affects the compressibility of soil slurries with high water content, which is important for engineering applications involving soft ground.
  • - Conducted in Southeast China, the research included sixty oedometer tests on lime-treated soils with varying water and lime contents to analyze their deformation properties.
  • - Findings indicate a unique relationship between void ratio, lime content, and initial water content, leading to the establishment of a modified compression index prediction method and a standardized compression curve for certain lime-treated soils.

Tantalum (Ta)-doped titanium oxide (TiO) thin films are grown by plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD), and used as both an electron transport layer and hole blocking compact layer of perovskite solar cells. The metal precursors of tantalum ethoxide and titanium isopropoxide are simultaneously injected into the deposition chamber. The Ta content is controlled by the temperature of the metal precursors.

In this study, spatial atomic layer deposition (sALD) is employed to prepare titanium dioxide (TiO) thin films by using titanium tetraisopropoxide and water as metal and water precursors, respectively. The post-annealing temperature is varied to investigate its effect on the properties of the TiO films. The experimental results show that the sALD TiO has a similar deposition rate per cycle to other ALD processes using oxygen plasma or ozone oxidant, implying that the growth is limited by titanium tetraisopropoxide steric hindrance.
