Microsystem and Microelectronic Devices Investigated by Synchrotron-Radiation Imaging Techniques
Due to increasing packing density and ongoing miniaturization there is a growing need for non-destructive quality assurance of devices in microsystem technology, especially for techniques providing high spatial resolution. The tendency towards short electrical interconnections often results in burried structures which cannot be verified visually. In laboratories, various x-ray techniques are ro...
متن کاملPhotoalignment of liquid crystals by liquid crystals
We observed light-induced alignment of the nematic liquid crystal, 4, 4(')-n-pentylcyanobiphenyl (5CB), on a fused quartz. Irradiation of the adsorbed layer with polarized ultraviolet light produced homogeneous alignment in a 5CB-filled liquid crystal cell with the easy orientation axis perpendicular to the polarization direction. The measured anchoring energy increases with illumination up to ...
متن کاملNanostructure Templating in Inorganic Solids with Organic Lyotropic Liquid Crystals
Various nanoscale semiconducting superlattices have been generated by direct templating in a lyotropic organic liquid crystal. These include superlattices of CdS, CdSe, and ZnS, templated in a liquid crystal formed by oligoethylene oxide oleyl ether amphiphiles and water. The semiconductor growth process copied the symmetry and characteristic dimensions of the original mesophase by avoiding gro...
متن کاملDual Symmetry in Bent-Core Liquid Crystals and Unconventional Superconductors
We extend the Landau theory of bent-core mesophases and d-wave high-Tc superconductors by considering additional secondary pseudo-proper order parameters. These systems exhibit a remarkable analogy relating their symmetry groups, lists of phases, and an infinite set of physical tensors. This analogy lies upon an internal dual structure shared by the two theories. We study the dual operator tran...
متن کاملSoft X-Ray Microscopy Radiation Damage On Fixed Cells Investigated With Synchrotron Radiation FTIR Microscopy
Radiation damage of biological samples remains a limiting factor in high resolution X-ray microscopy (XRM). Several studies have attempted to evaluate the extent and the effects of radiation damage, proposing strategies to minimise or prevent it. The present work aims to assess the impact of soft X-rays on formalin fixed cells on a systematic manner. The novelty of this approach resides on inve...
