If aluminum is diffused into a thick slice of silicon with no previous aluminum in it at a temperature of 1100˚C for 8 hours, wh

at is the depth below the surface at which the concentration is 1016 atoms/cm3 if the surface concentration is maintained at 1018 atoms/cm3? Use D = 2 x 10-12 cm2/s for aluminum diffusing in silicon at 1100˚C.

Answer:

8.354 nanometers

Explanation:

To treat a diffusive process in function of time and distance we need to solve  2nd Ficks Law. This a partial differential equation, with certain condition the solution looks like this:

\frac{C_{s}-C{x}}{C_{s}-C_{o}}=erf(x/2\sqrt{D*t})

Where Cs is the concentration in the surface of the solid

Cx is the concentration at certain deep X

Co is the initial concentration of solute in the solid

and erf is the error function

Then we solve right side,

\frac{C_{s}-C{x}}{C_{s}-C_{o}}=\frac{1018atoms/cm3-1016atoms/cm3}{1018atoms/cm3}=0.001964

And we need to look up the inverse error function of 0.001964 resulting in: 0.00174055

Then we solve for x:

x=0.00174055*2*\sqrt{D*t} =0.00174055*2*\sqrt{2*10^{-12}cm^{2}/s*8h*3600s/h}=8.35464*10^{-7}cm

Which units are used to measure both velocity and speed? Select three options
Ede4ka [16]

Answer and Explanation:

The options aren't listed in your question, but here are some units that are regularly and normally used (in the classroom and in the outside world):

(The SI unit of distance and displacement is the meter. The SI unit of time is the second.)

<u>Meters per Second (m/s)</u>

kilometers per hour (km/hr)

kilometers per second (km/sec)

To find the average speed, you do distance divided by time.

To find the average velocity, you do the final position minus the initial position, divided by the final time minus the initial time.

What is one use of the fluoride ion?
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Fluoride is commonly used in dentistry to strengthen enamel, which is the outer layer of your teeth. Fluoride helps to prevent cavities. It’s also added in small amounts to public water supplies in the United States and in many other countries. This process is called water fluoridation.
