Fabrication: The SiO2 helical films were fabricated in a commercial Glancing Angle Deposition System equipped with electron beam evaporation and thermal evaporation. We have also experimented with other dielectrics, such as MgF2 and TiO2, and although the results differ in details, the general conclusions of this manuscript remain the same. A glass substrate was placed at 84° angle to the sourc...

In the present work, a mesoporous multiphase amorphous crystal nanopowder Bi2O3 with specific surface area of up to 23 m2/g was produced by pulsed electron beam evaporation in vacuum. Influence thermal annealing (200-500 °C) powders air is investigated. The formation droplets size 3-5 nm on all large nanoparticles constituting framework 3D agglomerates found due extrusion liquid bismuth from vo...

The reliable availability of isotopic boron targets has gained in importance concerning light ion reactions withing the realm nuclear astrophysics research and remain somewhat elusive. An exhaustive approach was undertaken via electron beam evaporation to produce self-supporting backed spanning quite a few samples across several suppliers, resulting only limited success. Details extensive sampl...

Niobium thin film nanostructures were fabricated using electron beam lithography and a liftoff process involving a four layer resist system. Wires having micrometres in length and below 200nm in width were deposited on an insulating substrate and subsequently thinned by anodisation. The resistance of the wires was monitored in situ and could be trimmed by controlling the anodisation voltage and...

S1. Binding surface adsorbates to graphene by electron beam irradiation The low magnification image shown in figure S1a demonstrates the contrast between electron beam irradiated area and pristine area. Figure S1(b) and (c) are magnified images of the yellow and blue boxed regions respectively. The darker contrast dots are the inorganic nanocrystals on the surface of graphene. Panel c shows the...

This work presents the photocatalytic property of electron beam evaporated titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films prepared at room temperature. The films were investigated for decomposition of methylene blue – eosin dye solution under visible light irradiation. The effect of annealing on structural, optical and decomposition properties was studied in detail. X-ray diffraction study revealed the amo...
