Motivated by the development of lubricant-infused slippery surfaces, we study a sessile drop of a nonvolatile (ionic) liquid which is embedded in a slowly evaporating lubricant film (n-decane) on a horizontal, planar solid substrate. Using laser scanning confocal microscopy we imaged the evolution of the shape of the liquid/liquid and liquid/air interfaces, including the angles between them. Re...

A major disadvantage of energy saving glass using tin oxide (SnO2) thin film is that SnO2 attenuates the mobile signal from passing through it. In order to improve such signal transmission, a frequency selective surface (FSS) structures are designed on SnO2 thin film. In this paper, SnO2 thin film with FSS structure was fabricated using combination of printed circuit board technology and reacti...

zinc oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized by chemical reaction method.  polyvinyl alcohol (pva) composite film filled with nanometric, monodispersed zinc oxide nano particles prepared by pva solution and nanozinc oxide. polymer blend with zno nanoparticle composite film has prepared by casting technique.  the property of nano composites depends greatly on the chemistry of polymer matrices....

We discuss the mass transport of a degenerate Fermi liquid He film over a rough surface, and the film momentum relaxation time, in the framework of theoretical predictions. In the mesoscopic regime, the anomalous temperature dependence of the relaxation time is explained in terms of the interference between elastic boundary scattering and inelastic quasiparticle-quasiparticle scattering within ...

We have studied the fracture, strain, and stress of electrophoretically deposited EPD films of CdSe nanocrystals as a function of the film thickness, nanocrystal size, and drying method. Fracture results from the film stress that develops with the loss of residual solvent after EPD when the film exceeds a threshold thickness that increases with nanocrystal core diameter from 300 to 1200 nm for ...

TG-69 is a task group report of the AAPM on the use of radiographic film for dosimetry. Radiographic films have been used for radiation dosimetry since the discovery of x-rays and have become an integral part of dose verification for both routine quality assurance and for complex treatments such as soft wedges (dynamic and virtual), intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image guided rad...
