Their tests with transmission electron microscopy on the nanocrystals, which form
as ultrathin films, plates and tiny particles, reveal the desired quality and uniformity.
Not exact matches
The technique could also be used to clean surfaces without harsh solvents, and could be adapted to peel
films used in
ultrathin electronic devices, such
as solar panels, flexible screens or wearable sensors.
Ultrathin films made from aligned carbon nanotubes (left) blare
as loudly and clearly
as conventional speakers.
The experiments showed that the ability of
ultrathin lithium
films to retain deuterium drops
as the temperature of the molybdenum substrate rises — a result that provides insight into how lithium affects the performance of tokamaks.
To reduce these vibrations, researchers normally use very stiff cantilevers but this means that PFM can not be used to probe fragile materials, such
as biomaterials and
ultrathin films.
