A large improvement of the electrochemical capacitive detection of ssDNA and antigens by using ethylene-glycol alkanethiol monolayers has been recently demonstrated. Alkanethiol monolayers without ethylene-glycol functionalization do not show the required ...
The wrinkling and delamination of stiff thin films adhered to a polymer substrate have important applications in “flexible electronics.” The resulting periodic structures, when used for circuitry, have remarkable mechanical properties because stretching or ...
We have deposited a Permalloy film on top of a microstripline structure. The ferromagnetic properties of the Permalloy film are analyzed by means of the magneto-optical Kerr effect. We measure the effect of local magnetic fields generated by constant and p ...
We demonstrate a diffraction geometry which provides strong sensitivity to the microstructure of thin films. While a coherent beam of X-rays is being reflected from the surface of the sample, measurements were made of the scattering of the exit beam below ...
The results of structural and electrical characterizations of SrTiO3 thin films deposited onto MgO and LaAlO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique are presented. The influence of substrate and annealing procedure on the crystalline structure and ...
A process for producing at least one epitaxial, nanostructured thin film of metal oxide and/or a hydrated metal oxide on at least one substrate placed in a container and a substrate/thin film thereof, comprises placing the substrate at any location in the ...
We report a novel mode of quasi-static oscillatory crack propagation when a cutting tip of moderately large width is driven through a thin brittle polymer film. Experiments show that the amplitude and wavelength of the oscillatory crack paths scale linearl ...
Selective dissolution of titanium through a laser patterned oxide film has been achieved in a 3M sulfuric acid-methanol electrolyte. The 250 nm thick oxide film was formed anodically on a flat titanium surface in 0.5 M sulfuric acid. The patterning of the ...
A review. Recent work on the charge transport in mesoscopic nanostructured film electrodes is summarized. Results from intensity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopy (IMPS) and intensity-modulated photovoltage spectroscopy (IMVS) studies are given, and the ...
A thin aqueous film prepared by layer-by-layer assembly of oppositely charged polypeptides on 4-aminobenzoic acid modified porous reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) electrodes was used with the aim of forming a 3D-ITIES. The film containing a redox mediator ...
