- Thin films of different molybdenum carbides (delta-MoC1-x, gamma'-MoC1-x and Mo2C) have been deposited from a gas mixture of MoCl5/H-2/C2H4 at 800 degrees C by CVD. The H-2 content in the vapour has a strong influence on the phase composition and microstructure. Typically, high H-2 contents lead to the formation of nanocrystalline delta-MoC1-x films while coarse-grained gamma'-MoC1-x, is formed with an H-2-free gas mixture. This phase has previously only been synthesized by carburization of Mo in a CO atmosphere and it has therefore been considered as an oxycarbide phase stabilized by the presence of oxygen in the lattice. Our results, however, show that gamma'-MoC1-x films containing only trace amounts of oxygen can be deposited by CVD. Stability calculations using a FP-LMTO method confirmed that the gamma'-MoC1-x phase is stabilized by oxygen but that the difference in energy between e.g. delta-MoC0.75 and oxygen-free gamma'-MoC0.75 is Small enough to allow the synthesis of the latter phase in the absence of kinetic constraints. Annealing experiments of metastable delta-MoC1-x and gamma'-MoC1-x films showed two different reaction products suggesting that kinetic effects play an important role in the decomposition of these phases.

- Major therapeutic advances in the rehabilitation of subacute stroke are lacking. One promising approach is treatment with amphetamine in combination with physiotherapy so as to promote motor function. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, the effect of 10 sessions with 10 mg of amphetamine combined with physiotherapy during a 5-week period was investigated in 39 geriatric patients who had been admitted to a stroke rehabilitation unit. Motor function (Fugl-Meyer motor performance score) and activities of daily living (ADL; Barthel’s index) were assessed at baseline and at the end of treatment. All patients improved significantly over the intervention period. Amphetamine-treated patients did not show any increase in motor function or ADL as compared to the control group. Rehabilitation with amphetamine at this dosage and interval, combined with physiotherapy, did not promote motor recovery or functional capacity in patients suffering from stroke.
