Self-supporting thin films containing nanopores are very promising materials for use for multiple applications, especially in nanofiltration. Here, we present a method for the production of nanomembranes containing a 3D ordered network of nanopores in an a ...
The sputtering conditions for the deposition of the layers underneath active AlN films were analyzed for improving the quality of the active AlN, and the dependence of AlN deposition temperature on crystalline quality was investigated, where a reduced depo ...
Snow slab avalanches start with a failure in a weak snow layer buried below a cohesive snow slab. After failure, the very porous character of the weak layer leads to its volumetric collapse and thus closing of crack faces due to the weight of the overlayin ...
All chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes rely on the adsorption and decomposition of precursors on a substrate to deposit the desired material. The growth rate of the film is determined by the surface kinetics of the utilized precursor molecules and g ...
Avalanches can exhibit many different flow regimes from powder clouds to slush flows. Flow regimes are largely controlled by the properties of the snow released and entrained along the path. Recent investigations showed the temperature of the moving snow t ...
Snow avalanches are a direct thread to many mountain communities around the world and already small avalanches can endanger traffic routes and result in loss of life or property. Their destructive power depends, among other things, on the overall mass and ...
Surface deposition is a critical step in the application of fragrance-containing products. This contribution presents a novel strategy to enhance the deposition of polymer-based fragrance delivery systems onto cotton substrates from the application medium ...
X-ray irradiation is shown to trigger the deposition of Cu from solution, at room temperature, on a wide variety of insulating substrates: glass, passivated Si, TiN/Ti/SiO2/Si and photoresists like PMMA and SU-8. The process is suitable for patterning and ...
CH3NH3PbI3 was found to exhibit inverse solubility at high temperatures in gamma-butyrolactone. Making use of this unusual, so far unreported phenomenon, we present a facile method for the growth of freestanding crystals of CH3NH3PbI3 from solution without ...
Continuous development of thin film deposition technologies is essential for the fabrication of films that meet the specific requirements of their target applications and working conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the number of accessible a ...
