Focused Electron Beam Induced Deposition (FEBID) is a rapid prototyping technique for the investigation, production and modification of 2 and 3-D nanostructures. The process takes place at room temperature, in the high-vacuum chamber of a Scanning Electron ...
Nanometer-thick platinum silicide films were obtained by solid-state thermal reaction films in the presence of an interfacial native silicon oxide layer. They were studied using High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) and selected-area ele ...
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 ...
Odd electron diffraction patterns (EDPs) have been obtained by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) on silicon nanowires grown via the vapour-liquid-solid method and on silicon thin films deposited by electron beam evaporation. Many explanations have bee ...
The first results on a simple new process for the direct fabrication of one-dimensional superlattices using common CVD chambers are presented. The experiments were carried out in a 200 mm industrial Centura reactor (Applied Materials). Low dimensionality a ...
Focused electron- and ion-beam induced processing are well established techniques for local deposition and etching that rely on decomposition of precursor molecules by irradiation. These high-resolution nanostructuring techniques have various applications ...
Microstructure, chemical and phase composition of the hard layer formed on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy after duplex surface treatment were investigated by light microscopy (LM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and analytical scanning, transmission and scanning transmissio ...
We propose an original approach called a "stencil-masked ion implantation process" for performing a spatially localized synthesis of a limited number of Si nanocrystals within a thin SiO2 layer. In this process, the SiO2 layer is irradiated with 1 keV sili ...
Single-layer MoS2 is a newly emerging two-dimensional semiconductor with a potentially wide range of applications in the fields of nanoelectronics and energy harvesting. The fact that it can be exfoliated down to single-layer thickness, makes MoS2 interest ...
Bright-field (BF) and annular dark-field (ADF) electron tomography in the transmission electron microscope (TEM) are used to characterize elongated porous regions or cracks (simply referred to as cracks thereafter) in micro-crystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) so ...
