Formation of periodic crack structures in polydiacetylene single crystal thin films
نویسندگان
چکیده
2014 The formation of a regular pattern of periodic cracked ridges on single crystal polydiacetylene films is described. Films thicker than a certain critical thickness are cracked while thinner ones are not. A model in the framework of linear elasticity theory is developed, which accounts for this transition as a function of the film thickness. J. Phys.

An experimental and theoretical study on the physical properties of Al doped ZnO thin films
In this research, ZnO thin films with Al impurity as dopant were coated onto cleaned glass substrates by the spray pyrolysis technique. Crystal structure of the thin films was studied via XRD, and UV-vis spectroscopy was carried out to investigate their optical properties. Finally, in order to study the effect of Al impurity in ZnO thin films, the band structures of both pure and doped systems ...
متن کاملCorrelation between crystal structure and optical properties of copper- doped ZnO thin films
ZnO and Cu doped[1] (CZO) thin films were prepared by radio frequency sputtering. The structural and optical properties of thin films were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), optical spectrophotometer, and photoluminescence (PL) techniques. ZnO thin films showed crystalline and micro-stress defects in the crystal lattice. Annealing of CZO thin films increa...

In this paper, Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ (BSCF) thin films were deposited on single crystal SrTiO3 (STO) (100) by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique at different pressures of oxygen. Crystal structure of bulk and thin film samples was studied by x-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD results indicate that both bulk and thin film samples have cubic structures. AFM micrographs showed an increase i...
متن کاملUniversality of periodicity as revealed from interlayer-mediated cracks
A crack and its propagation is a challenging multiscale materials phenomenon of broad interest, from nanoscience to exogeology. Particularly in fracture mechanics, periodicities are of high scientific interest. However, a full understanding of this phenomenon across various physical scales is lacking. Here, we demonstrate periodic interlayer-mediated thin film crack propagation and discuss the ...
متن کاملBiofilm Formation on Chromatic Sol–Gel/Polydiacetylene Films
Bacterial biofilms are integrated communities of cells consisting of one or more species joined together in an extracellular polymeric matrix, enabling them to efficiently adhere to surfaces. These multicellular constructs are marked by a high degree of chemical communication and are fundamental to the ecology and biology of most bacterial strains. Owing to the impregnable nature of biofilm fra...
