1 Liu, FengPhysical origin of hydrogen-adsorption-induced metallization of the SiC surface: n-type doping via formation of hydrogen bridge bondWe perform first-principles calculations to explore the physical origin of hydrogen-induced semiconductor surface metallization observed in β-SiC(001)-3 x 2 surface. We show that the surface metallization arises from a novel mechanism of n-type doping of surface band via formation of hydrogen bri...Metallization; Hydrogen adsorption; SiC; n-type doping; Hydrogen bridge bond2005-10
2 Eddings, EricModified CPD Model for Coal Devolatilization at UCTT ConditionsTo study coal pyrolysis behavior at underground coal thermal treatment (UCTT) conditions, a modified CPD (M-CPD) model was developed and evaluated using two scales of experiments as well as two different coals, Utah Sufco and Illinois #6.

3 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshTransaction ordering verification of the PCI 2.1 protocol using trace inclusion refinementWe define an abstract model of PCI, called PCIA, and show that PCI is a refinement of PCIA based on tract inclusion. We then show that no traces of PCIA violate the Producer/Consumer property using the mur? explicit state ennumeration model checker. Given that PCIA does not violate the Producer/Cons...PCI; PCIA; tract inclusion2000
