High-Electron-Mobility SiGe on Sapphire Substrate for Fast Chipsets by Hyun Jung Kim, Yeonjoon Park, Hyung Bin Bae, Sang H. Choi

“…High-quality strain-relaxed SiGe films with a low twin defect density, high electron mobility, and smooth surface are critical for device fabrication to achieve designed performance. The mobilities of SiGe can be a few times higher than those of silicon due to the content of high carrier mobilities of germanium (p-type Si: 430 cm2/V·s, p-type Ge: 2200 cm2/V·s, n-type Si: 1300 cm2/V·s, and n-type Ge: 3000 cm2/V·s at 1016 per cm3 doping density). …”

Numerical simulation of leakage and diffusion of buried pure hydrogen/hydrogen-doped natural gas pipeline by Weipeng HU, Guang CHEN, Baojin QI, Yonghai ZHANG

“…As the hydrogen leaks and diffuses faster in soil with large porosity and large particle size, different hydrogen transportation monitoring schemes should be designed for different soil conditions. In the process of hydrogen-doped natural gas transportation, the time required for the mixed gas at the same monitoring point to reach the lower explosive limit becomes shorter with the increase of the hydrogen blending ratio, which increases the risk of hydrogen leakage gradually. …”
