Initiation of liquid-solid contact beneath an impacting drop

Before an impacting drop contacts the solid surface it must first drain the air beneath it. As a prelude to wetting, before any contact occurs, the impinging liquid confines the intervening air into a nanometers-thin film. Once liquid-solid contact initiat ...

Incorporation of aluminium in calcium-silicate-hydrates

Karen Scrivener, Barbara Lothenbach, Émilie Michèle L'Hôpital

Calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) was synthetized at 20 degrees C to investigate the effect of aluminium uptake (Al/Si = 0-0.33) in the presence and absence of alkalis on the composition and the solubility of a C-S-H with a Ca/Si equal to 1.0. C-S-H incorpo ...

Micromachined temperature calibration tool for contact Scanning Thermal Microscope probes

Danick Briand, Etienne Pierre Lemaire, Thi-Vong Nguyen

Local thermal probing has become a major tool for studying transport phenomena at micro and nanoscale levels, detecting hot spots and failures of microelectronic devices or measuring surface temperature distribution at these scales. If contact point measur ...

Surface Aligned Magnetic Moments and Hysteresis of an Endohedral Single-Molecule Magnet on a Metal

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser

The interaction between the endohedral unit in the single-molecule magnet Dy2ScN@C-80 and a rhodium (111) substrate leads to alignment of the Dy 4f orbitals. The resulting orientation of the Dy2ScN plane parallel to the surface is inferred from comparison ...

Surface Chemistry of Calcium Aluminosilicate Glasses

Ruben Anton Snellings

The surface chemistry of synthetic calcium aluminosilicate glasses exposed to aqueous solutions of varying pH was described using zeta potential measurements and batch surface titrations. Element release and proton consumption were measured to characterize ...

Low Temperature Chemical Vapor Deposition Using Atomic Layer Deposition Chemistry

Patrik Willi Hoffmann, Yury Kuzminykh, Michael Oliver Reinke

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques rely on high temperatures to activate the chemical decomposition of precursors on the substrate surface. Lower temperatures are applied in atomic layer deposition (ALD), where deliberate pyrolysis of the precursor ...

Dose-response curve of a microfluidic magnetic bead-based surface coverage sandwich assay

Martinus Gijs, Thomas Lehnert, Matteo Cornaglia, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Hüseyin Cumhur Tekin

Magnetic micro-and nanoparticles ('magnetic beads') have been used to advantage in many microfluidic devices for sensitive antigen (Ag) detection. Today, assays that use as read-out of the signal the number count of immobilized beads on a surface for quant ...
