Jun 9, 2024 · A thin film is a layer of material with a thickness in the range of a nanometer to a few micrometers. Many industries make use of different deposition methods to create thin films. Thin films are widely used in our everyday life, such as the metal coated glass used as mirror in every home.
3 days ago · The composite thin film contains high dielectric constant and flexoelectric coefficient, as well as excellent flexibility. Our study provided a straightforward and efficient method for improving the flexoelectric effect of biopolymers, and demonstrated its great potential applications in flexoelectric-based devices.
2 days ago · Ultrafast reciprocal space mapping (URSM) with hard X-rays is used to unveil the nanomorphology of thin HfN films. Static high-resolution X-ray diffraction reveals a twofold composition of the thin films being separated into regions with identical lattice constant and similar out-of-plane but hugely different in-plane coherence lengths.
2 days ago · Fortunately, the team had an advantage, in the form of UCSB materials scientist Susanne Stemmer's thin-film prowess. With expertise in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), Stemmer's lab is able to "grow ...
Jun 20, 2024 · Herein, a new contorted monomer 6,6′-dihydroxy-2,2′-biphenyldiamine (DHBIPDA) is introduced as a building block to generate cross-linked, ultra-thin microporous nanofilms (sub-10 nm) via interfacial polymerization, enabling rapid, and precise molecular nanofiltration.
Jun 10, 2024 · This research gives particular insights into the growth mechanism of high-quality Sb 2 S 3 thin films by CBD method as well as a potential route for enhancing Sb 2 S 3 solar cell performance.
5 days ago · The perovskite oxide SrMoO3 has attracted significant attention for its potential applications in ultraviolet (UV) transparent conductors. Thus far, synthesizing high-quality epitaxial SrMoO3 thin films by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is usually under highly reducing (Ar or Ar-H2 gas mixture) atmospheres. Here, we grew SrMoO3 epitaxial films using the PLD technique at a base pressure below 1 × 10–5 Pa without any gas supply to optimize their optical and electrical properties. By ...
