Sentences with phrase «nanometre thin»

The spin wave circuit that the researchers built, consists of a 200 nanometre thin layer of yttrium iron garnet (a mineral and magnetic insulator, YIG in short), with a conducting platinum strip on top of that on both sides.

Not exact matches

The key discovery consists in the observation that the composite thin film — barely 110 nanometres thick — absorbs a broader portion of the solar spectrum compared to the wavelengths absorbed in the thin films made of the two individual materials.

In a paper published in EPJ B, the authors study how the crystal periodicity affects the motion of ions whose energy belongs to a 1 to 2 MeV range, as they are transmitted through very thin crystals on the order of a few hundred nanometres, and how it impacts their angular distribution.

What is so interesting about this work is that it relies on an advanced process of fabricating much thinner crystals than was previously possible, reaching 55 nanometres.

After cutting a thin section from one of the carbon globules of the meteorite, they used a jet of argon ions to erode the slice until it was just 50 nanometres thick — a process known as ion milling — and examined it under an electron microscope.

The nanometre - thin alloy films effectively transform oxygen (red) and protons (white) into water.

Keeping electrons on track is easy: they obediently confine themselves to metal wires as thin as a few nanometres across.

A 4 - nanometre wire of silicon, about 20 000 times thinner than a human hair, is called a «quantum wire», since the carriers within it are strongly confined in two dimensions but free to move long distances in the third dimension, along the wire.

These materials are made up of quantum wires that are between 2 and 3 nanometres wide, and because the width of the wires has an important effect on the time it takes luminescence to decay, wires thinner than 1.5 nanometres will be needed before nanosecond times are possible.

This produces nanowire filaments that are a thousand times thinner than the diameter of a human hair, typically about 300 nanometres or less.
