It is commonly assumed that silicon-rich silicon nitride films (films with high refractive index) provide better surface passivation, compared to that obtained by films with lower indices. However, ...

PiFM combines atomic force microscopy with chemical imaging, offering insights into molecular orientation and surface ...

Nanopores were produced in microfabricated silicon membranes by electron beam lithography as well as by using a finely focused ion beam. Thermal oxide was used to shrink pore sizes, if necessary, and ...

The employed process involves grafting of the PDMAEMA chains on an underlying substrate in a brush conformation followed by the immobilization of surface functionalized AuNPs by means of physical ...

Abstract: A number of investigators have observed multiplication phenomenon in the response of silicon surface barriers to fission fragments. In many cases, this multiplication is anomalous in the ...

The interface also included a thin aluminum oxide (AlO x) passivation layer that prevents the transferred charge carriers from immediately recombining at the silicon surface, as well as a zinc ...
