SERS is a surface - sensitive technique that enhances the inelastic scattering of photons by molecules adsorbed on rough metal surfaces or by nanostructures. (sciencedaily.com)
In the established FEBID process, an electron beam is used to write structures from molecules adsorbed onto a solid surface that provides support and nucleation sites for deposit growth. (sciencedaily.com)
Earlier studies had revealed that the slowest step in the process was nitrogen molecules adsorbing onto iron particles in a manner that primed them for combining with hydrogen. (sciencemag.org)
