The long term performance of micro-/nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) depends on their stability to operating conditions, contact friction, adhesion, and wear. Aluminum (Al) substrates have been chemically reacted with perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA ...
Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloys are often used in medical component devices, for instance as guide wires for neurological surgery applications. The manufacture of such devices becomes more and more challenging, especially considering the need to ...
Mo–Se–C films were deposited by sputtering from a carbon target with pellets of MoSe2. In addition to the standard evaluation of their chemical composition, structure, morphology, hardness and cohesion/adhesion, the core objective of this paper was to anal ...
Erbium-doped amorphous aluminum oxide layers deposited on Si or oxidized silicon substrates are promising construction pieces for future monolytic integrated optoelectronics devices. In a novel high-vacuum chemical vapor deposition setup the alumina films ...
The system AgNO3 and L (L = ethanediyl bis(isonicotinate)) yielded so far five different compounds from a THF/H2O mixture (or acetonitrile) when reacted in a ratio 1:1. Three solvent-free compounds possess the same chemical composition, [Ag(L)NO3], but dif ...
Focused electron beam induced depositions of nickel-containing materials obtained by using bis(methylcyclopentadienyl)nickel(II) Ni(C5H4CH3)(2) and tetrakis(trifluorophosphine)nickel(0) Ni(PF3)(4) as precursors, were compared in terms of chemical compositi ...
Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of liquid GeSe2 show that the first sharp diffraction peak in the concentration-concentration structure factor S-CC(k) is due to a sequence of connected fourfold rings. These subunits can be viewed as chains of edge ...
This paper presents the process development towards a new generation of nanostructured thermoelectric generators for power harvesting from small temperature gradients by using a combination of traditional silicon microfabrication techniques, electroplating ...
By implementing the moisture-based form of Richards' equation into the geochemical modelling framework PHREEQC, a generic tool for the simulation of one-dimensional flow and solute transport in the vadose zone undergoing complex geochemical reactions was d ...
This study presents a new method, Köhler Theory Analysis (KTA), to infer the molar volume and solubility of organic aerosol constituents. The method is based on measurements of surface tension, chemical composition, and CCN activity coupled with Köhler the ...
