Positioning nanostructures and functional molecules at surfaces and engineering their local coupling behavior is a key challenge in nanotechnology. The recently discovered BN nanomesh on the Rh(111) surface is a potential candidate to combine both properti ...
The addition of carbon to samples, during transmission electron microscope imaging, presents a barrier to accurate analysis; the controlled deposition of hydrocarbons by a focused electron beam can be a useful technique for local nanometer-scale sculpting ...
We report the near-edge x-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) spectrum of a single layer of graphite (graphene) obtained by micromechanical cleavage of highly ordered pyrolytic graphite on a SiO2 substrate. We utilized a photoemission electron microscop ...
Fabrication of sensors and micro-fluidic structures from low temperature co- fired ceramic (LTCC) sheets is a growing interest in the micro-packaging community. Such devices usually have inner cavities, whose production is quite complicated. The most elega ...
In the past decades, III-nitride semiconductor compounds have attracted an increasing amount of interest due to their applications to blue-violet laser diodes and white light emitting diodes, or for their use as ultraviolet emitting devices for biomedical ...
Electrical and optical characterization has been performed on several superconducting single photon detectors (SSPDs) consisting of meanders made of ultrathin NbN films. The NbN films, with thickness ranging from 150 nm to 3 nm, were deposited by dc magnet ...
Intrinsic hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films can yield in outstanding electronic surface passivation of crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafers as utilized in the HIT (heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer) solar cells. We have studied the correlat ...
Progress in recent years in the field of electrochromic displays based on viologen modified high-surface area TiO2 electrodes (Vio2+/TiO2) has moved the technol. towards commercialization. Viologen mols. (Vio2+), derivatized with phosphonic acid attachment ...
Intrinsic, thermal, and hygroscopic contributions to the in-plane residual stress in silicon nitride films on polyimide substrates are identified, based on iso- hygric thermal ramps and isothermal relative humidity jumps, combined with non-linear elastic m ...
The objective of this study was to analyze the efficiency of silver(Ag)-doped carbon aerogels for the removal of bromide (Br-) and iodide (I-) from drinking waters. Textural characterization of Ag-doped aerogels showed that an increase in the Ag dose added ...
