The fabrication of three kinds of ZnO nanowire arrays with different structural parameters over Au-coated silicon (100) by facile thermal evaporation of ZnS precursor is reported, and the growth mechanism are proposed based on structural analysis. Field emission (FE) properties and wetting behavior were revealed to be strongly morphology dependent. The nanowire arrays in small diameter and high...

This study aimed to optimize the preparation conditions of pachyman (PHY)-loaded poly(d,l-lactic acid) (PLA) (PHYP) nanospheres by response surface methodology, explore their characteristics, and assess their effects on splenic lymphocytes. Double emulsion solvent evaporation was used to synthesize PHYP nanospheres, and the optimal preparation conditions were identified as a concentration of po...

The mathematical model for vapor-phase diffusion-assisted epitaxial lateral overgrowth in homoepitaxy of a compound semiconductor (GaAs-type) thin film is presented. Besides diffusion in vapor phase, the physical mechanisms contributing to the crystal growth and accounted for in the model include surface diffusion and evaporation–recondensation. The evolution equations for the concentrations of...

In submerged microcavities there is a tradeoff between resonant enhancement for spatial water and light overlap. Why not transform the continuously resonating optical mode to be fully contained in a water microdroplet per se? Here we demonstrate a sustainable 30-μm-pure water device, bounded almost completely by free surfaces, enabling >1,000,000 re-circulations of light. The droplets survive f...

One of the most promising techniques for manufacturing low-cost solar cells is a solution processing method. In this study, it proposed that solution-grown ZnO nanorods (NRs) are used as antireflection coatings on metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) with sol-gel SiO2. Except Al electrodes prepared by thermal evaporation, no other vacuum process was utilized during fabrication. The NRs were prod...

DURING the past five years this problem of the evaporation of water from animals has attracted considerable attention, particularly from entomologists. Considerable advances have been made, but when the technique of various workers is examined from a physical standpoint it is difficult to see how far laboratory results can be applied to ecological problems in the field. During the last two year...

This paper presents a novel and mass-producible technique to fabricate indium-tin-oxide (ITO) nanorods which serve as an omnidirectional transparent conductive layer (TCL) for InGaN/GaN light emitting diodes (LEDs). The characteristic nanorods, prepared by oblique electron-beam evaporation in a nitrogen ambient, demonstrate high optical transmittance (T>90%) for the wavelength range of 450nm to...
