Aubert cut samples of the cave popcorn, shaving the calcite into
ultrathin layers in a process he calls micro-excavating.
Not exact matches
Reichert says that such
ultrathin layers of water are a common phenomenon, and understanding the behavior of HDL and LDL water may lead to insights into water's behavior
in diverse situations, from ice skating to ion movement across biological cell walls.
The «teats» are actually receptacles containing aluminium, gallium and arsenic; the «udders» are high - vacuum reaction chambers
in which
ultrathin layers of crystal are grown on circular wafers of gallium arsenide, 75 or 100 millimetres across.
The team now reports that graphene, with its
ultrathin, Teflon - like properties, can be sandwiched between a wafer and its semiconducting
layer, providing a barely perceptible, nonstick surface through which the semiconducting material's atoms can still rearrange
in the pattern of the wafer's crystals.
The study group has created
ultrathin sheets composed of black phosphorous
layers, which feature strong light absorption
in the near - infrared as well as ultraviolet and visible light ranges, combined with lanthanum titanate
layers.
