Imagine a perfectly innocent quartz crystal that has grown to considerable size. It is lying there, at the bottom of a shallow sea, when a meterorite rudely invites itself to crash into the Earth's surface with considerable noise, pressure, heat.

There is so much pressure and heat, in fact, that only a meteorite or asteroid can cause what happens next: the quartz is shocked!

Shocked quartz is quartz that has been subjected to an event that cannot happen from normal Earthly causes and which has had its very planar structure changed. The only two known causes of shocked quartz are nuclear explosions such as the Alamo field and the incredible impact forces of meteorites or ancient asteroids. The Pleistocene/Holcene astroid impact is one of the biggest culprits. This impact occured in North America about 12,000 years ago, creating a type of brecciated rock called impact breccia.

One aspect of the impact that creates shocked quartz, however, is that high heat is not involved, or the quartz would revert to its original structure. In some shocked quartz samples, the quartz resumed its normal growth pattern within a section of planar deformities.

Brecciated rock is like gravel that is cemented together in a finely grained matrix that may or may not have the same composition as the gravel. Impact breccia is formed through extra terrestial or nuclear impact and is generally found in or around impact craters.

Quartz crystals are said to be the second most abundant substance in the Earth's crust. They are composed of silicon-oxygen tetrahedra where one oxygen molecule is shared between each two tetrahedron. The crystals grow perpetually in a six sided prism that terminates in a six sided pyramid.

Shocked quartz crystals contained shocked lamellae, or small fractures that create lines in the quartz that go along the planes of the crystal.  These planes can usually only be viewed under a microscope. \

But often, special microscope techniques, such as electron microscope, high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Focused Ion Beam (FIB) tomography, cross polarization, reflected light, thin slicing and polishing are required before the microscopic deformations can be seen.

Sometimes, the deformations actually can be examined as if they were "pressure gauges", with various deformities helping to identify the amount of pressure that it would have taken to create them. New methods of examining the samples are being used, with goals of gathering more information and images of smaller and younger samples.

The most famous sites for such impact craters include the Chicxulub structure on the Northern Yucatan Penninsula of Mexico, the Bavarian Town of NÖrdlingen, Arizona, India, and generally in the K-3 boundary between Cretaceous and Tertiary rocks.

Diodes has announced the first device from a proprietary semiconductor process at its wafer fabrication facility in Oldham.

The device is a high-efficiency 600V, 8A rectifier specifically targeted at LCD-LED TV power supplies.

Called Diodestar, the process combines bipolar and MOSFET semiconductor technologies in a high voltage process.

The first product fabricated using this new process is the DSR8V600, a 600V, 8A rated rectifier, designed for use as the boost diode in power factor correction (PFC) circuits of single and dual stage switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) up to 1,000W.

Optimized for PFC duties in both continuous and boundary conduction mode, the DSR8V600 rectifier offers best-in-class soft recovery with ultra-fast switching capability (TRR < 30ns), meeting the 80 Plus Energy Star standard for SMPS.

Showa Denko Expands Nanoparticle Titanium-Oxide Production Capacity for MLCC Capacitors

Tokyo, Oct 13, 2010 (JCN Newswire via COMTEX) -- Showa Denko K.K. (SDK) is set to expand its nanoparticle titanium-oxide production capacity at its wholly owned subsidiary, Showa Titanium Co., Ltd. The production capacity will increase from 180 tons per month to 240 tons per month starting in June 2011. The titanium oxide product, sold under the trade name Super-Titania(TM), is crucial in the production of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC Capacitors).

What are MLCC Capacitors?
MLCC Capacitors are essential components in electronic devices that require compact size and light weight, such as PCs, mobile phones, and flat-panel TVs. Due to the increasing demand for these devices, the MLCC market is projected to grow at a rate of around 10% annually.

Production Expansion to Meet Growing Demand
To accommodate the rising demand, Showa Titanium will enhance the efficiency of its Super-Titania production facilities for MLCC applications. The number of production lines will increase from three to four, ensuring better capacity to meet market needs.

The Role of Titanium Oxide in MLCC Capacitors
Titanium oxide (TiO2) plays a critical role in producing barium titanate (BaTiO3), a key raw material for the dielectric component in MLCC Capacitors. Fine-particle TiO2 is essential for the solid-phase process, which enables the low-cost production of BaTiO3 with superior dielectric properties. Showa Titanium uses advanced process control technologies to produce Super-Titania in ultra-fine particle sizes ranging from 15 to 250 nm, ensuring high purity for MLCC Capacitors that are smaller and have higher capacity.

Applications Beyond MLCCs
While Super-Titania is primarily used in MLCC Capacitors, it also serves various other applications such as fillers and photocatalysts. Showa Titanium aims to provide high-quality, stable products to meet the diverse needs of customers, reinforcing its position as a market leader.

What is Dielectric?
Dielectric is a material that acts as an electrical insulator, capable of storing and instantly discharging electricity. As dielectric properties improve, the material's ability to store electricity increases.

Solid-phase vs. Liquid-phase Processes
There are two main processes for producing fine ceramics, including BaTiO3: the solid-phase and liquid-phase processes. The solid-phase process involves mixing materials and baking them at high temperatures, resulting in compound synthesis through chemical reactions. In the liquid-phase process, materials are dissolved in a solution, undergo chemical reactions, and then are baked at lower temperatures to form compounds.
