Carbon nanofibers (CNF) were synthesized on sintered metal fibers (SMF) filters of nickel and Ni-containing alloys (Inconel, stainless steel (SS)) by thermal chemical vapor deposition of ethane in the presence of hydrogen at not, vert, similar660 °C. The C ...
A flexible method for simultaneous nanoscale structures fabrication and patterning is described, using a combination of stencil mask and pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) techniques. A miniature shadow-mask with nano-apertures in a very thin microfabricated me ...
A versatile method for parallel nanoscale structures fabrication and patterning, using a combination of stencil-mask and pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) techniques is presented. A miniature shadow-mask with nano-apertures in a very thin microfabricated membr ...
Titanium aluminium nitride (TiAlN)-based coatings are designed specially for applications where oxidation and wear resistance are primary demands, as in the case of cutting tools. Moreover the coatings are required to be thermally stable as well as have go ...
We report on a study of pentacene thin-films grown by high vacuum deposition on silicon dioxide, using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The nucleation density of pentacene islands on SiO2is found to rise ...
Light Induced Chemical Vapour Deposition (LICVD) of titanium dioxide thin films is studied in this work. It is shown that this technique enables to deposit locally and selectively a chosen crystalline phase with a precise controlled thickness at low substr ...
Oriented films of tetracene and pentacene have been obtained by high vacuum sublimation onto oriented poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) substrates. Polymorphism, orientation, and morphology of the pentacene and tetracene films are studied as a function of d ...
Gradual clogging of the apertures of nanostencils used as miniature shadow masks in metal evaporations can be reduced by coating the stencil with self-assembled monolayers (SAM). This is quantified by the dimensions (height and volume) of gold features obt ...
The focused electron beam induced deposition process is a promising technique for nano and micro patterning. Electrons can be focused in sub-angström dimensions, which allows atomic-scale resolution imaging, analysis, and processing techniques. Before the ...
Recently electrically conducting SPM probes were used as read/write sensor of magneto-resistive nanopillars and ferroelectric domains in the development of >1 Tb/inch2 data storage. Since metal coated (platinum (Pt) or Pt/iridium) silicon (Si) probes are n ...
