Membrane-Type Surface Stress Sensor with Piezoresistive Readout

Nico de Rooij, Terunobu Akiyama, Sebastian Gautsch, Peter Vettiger, Frédéric Loizeau

We present the fabrication and characterization of a membrane-type surface stress sensor (MSS), arranged in arrays for molecular detection in gaseous phase. Made out of SOI substrate, a round membrane with a diameter of 500 mu m and a thickness of 2.5 mu m ...

Plasma Jet-Substrate Interaction in Low Pressure Plasma Spray-CVD Processes

Christoph Hollenstein, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Malko Gindrat

Conventional equipment for plasma spraying can be adapted for operation at low pressure so that PECVD-like processing can be performed. The plasma jet generated by the torch is characterized by a high convective velocity and a high gas temperature. The inf ...

Growth of doped silicon nanowires by pulsed laser deposition and their analysis by electron beam induced current imaging

Reymond Clavel, Johann Michler

Doped silicon nanowires (NWs) were epitaxially grown on silicon substrates by pulsed laser deposition following a vapour-liquid-solid process, in which dopants together with silicon atoms were introduced into the gas phase by laser ablation of lightly and ...

Electronic Spectroscopy of Aniline Ions Embedded in Helium Nanodroplets

Marcel Drabbels, Nils Benedict Brauer, Xiaohang Zhang

Excitation spectra of the and transitions of aniline cations embedded in helium nanodroplets are reported. The spectra are characterized by broad asymmetric resonances that consist of an intrinsically broadened zero-phonon line which partially overlaps wit ...

Micrometeorological and morphological observations of surface hoar dynamics on a mountain snow cover

Michael Lehning, Charles Fierz

The formation, growth, and destruction of surface hoar crystals is an important feature of mountain snow covers as buried surface hoar layers are a frequent weak layer leading to unstable snowpacks. The energy and mass exchange associated with surface hoar ...

Growth and optical, electrical and mechanical characterization of zinc oxide nanowires

Martial Duchamp

The topic of this dissertation is embedded into the new-born field of inorganic nanowires. The research was focused on zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires, in particular, which besides posing fundamental questions in physics, promise broad range of applications. Zn ...

High vacuum chemical vapor deposition (HV-CVD) of alumina thin films

Xavier Multone

We analyzed along this work the feasibility to produce high quality alumina thin films by High Vacuum Chemical Vapor Deposition (HV-CVD). We study the influence of various parameters on the growth process and on the film quality, such as substrate temperat ...

Influence of Mass-Transfer Limitations on Carbon Isotope Fractionation during Microbial Dechlorination of Trichloroethene

Christof Holliger

Mass transfer of organic contaminants from nonaqueous phase liquids to the aqueous phase can significantly modulate the observable carbon isotope fractionation behavior associated with contaminant transformation. We evaluated the effects of kinetic interph ...

Liquid phase deposition of polymers on arbitrary shaped surfaces and their suitability for e-beam patterning

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Pierre-Yves Baroni

We present a straightforward low cost liquid phase deposition method to coat arbitrary-shaped dielectric substrates with uniform electron beam sensitive polymer films. Furthermore, we investigate the use of electron beam lithography to pattern the coated p ...

Transient Heat Transfer Model and Stability Analysis of helium-cooled Superconducting Cables

Luca Bottura, Pier Paolo Granieri, Panagiota Xydi

The stability is a key issue to design superconducting magnets and to ensure their proper exploitation. This is the case of the imminent operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator, which requires a good knowledge of the stability margin of it ...
