Electrokinetic measurements of thin Nafion films.
We perform an electrokinetic characterization of ~300 nm Nafion films deposited on glass slides over a relatively unexplored region of ionic strength and pH. Owing to the small pore size of the Nafion, we probe the Nafion-fluid interface with the streaming potential measurement, and we probe ionic transport through the entire thickness of the Nafion film with the conductivity measurements. By a...
متن کاملThree-dimensional nanometer-scale optical cavities of indefinite medium.
Miniaturization of optical cavities has numerous advantages for enhancing light-matter interaction in quantum optical devices, low-threshold lasers with minimal power consumption, and efficient integration of optoelectronic devices at large scale. However, the realization of a truly nanometer-scale optical cavity is hindered by the diffraction limit of the nature materials. In addition, the sca...
متن کاملWafer-scale, three-dimensional helical porous thin films deposited at a glancing angle.
Minimization of helices opens a door to impose novel functions derived from the dimensional shrinkage of optical, mechanical and electronic devices. Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) enables one to deposit three-dimensional helical porous thin films (HPTFs) composed of separated spiral micro/nano-columns. GLAD integrates a series of advantageous features, including one-step deposition, wafer-sca...
متن کاملAtomistic simulations of the nanometer-scale indentation of amorphous-carbon thin films
Molecular dynamics simulations are used to examine the nanometer-scale indentation of a thin film of amorphous carbon with a nonrigid sp bonded carbon tip. The simulations show in detail the atomic-scale mechanism of the indentation process and compare the bonding character of the film before and after indentation. The computationally determined elastic modulus of the amorphous-carbon film is f...
متن کاملImaging three-dimensional polarization in epitaxial polydomain ferroelectric thin films
Voltage-modulated scanning force microscopy ~Piezoresponse microscopy! is applied to investigate the domain structure in epitaxial PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 ferroelectric thin films grown on ~001! SrTiO3. By monitoring the vertical and lateral differential signals from the photodetector of the atomic force microscope it is possible to separate out and observe the out-of-plane and in-plane polarization vec...
