Wetting of regularly structured gold surfaces.
In this study we report results for a systematic study of the wetting of structured gold surfaces formed by electrodeposition through monolayer templates of close-packed uniform submicrometer spheres. Removal of the template after deposition leaves a regular hexagonal array of sphere segment pores where the depth of the pores and, thus, the topography of the surface are controlled by the thickn...
متن کاملAluminum- and Iron-Doped Zinc Oxide Nanorod Arrays for Humidity Sensor Applications
Metal-doped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorod arrays have attracted much attention due to improvement in their electrical, structural, and optical properties upon doping. In this chapter, we discuss the effects of aluminum (Al)and iron (Fe)-doping on ZnO nanorod arrays properties particularly for humidity sensor applications. Compared to Fe, Al shows more promising characteristics as doping element for ...
متن کاملLarge-area zinc oxide nanorod arrays templated by nanoimprint lithography: control of morphologies and optical properties.
Vertically aligned, highly ordered, large area arrays of nanostructures are important building blocks for multifunctional devices. Here, ZnO nanorod arrays are selectively synthesized on Si substrates by a solution method within patterns created by nanoimprint lithography. The growth modes of two dimensional nucleation-driven wedding cakes and screw dislocation-driven spirals are inferred to de...
متن کاملTemplate-Based Growth of Oxide Nanorod Arrays by Centrifugation
This paper reports template-based growth of nanorod arrays by combination of sol–gel processing and centrifugation. The technical concept is simple and straightforward; centrifugation force drives the sol nanoclusters into the pores of the template, filling the pores completely to form nanorods. However, simulation reveals the formation of nanorods inside pores is more complex; centrifugation f...
متن کاملPhase-field modeling of wetting on structured surfaces.
We study the dynamics and equilibrium profile shapes of contact lines for wetting in the case of a spatially inhomogeneous solid wall with stripe defects. Using a phase-field model with conserved dynamics, we first numerically determine the contact line behavior in the case of a stripe defect of varying widths. For narrow defects, we find that the maximum distortion of the contact line and the ...
