Biomimetic surfaces with special wetting properties are attracting a lot of attention because of their fundamental and industrial applications. By tuning surface micro-nano structures and composition, it is possible to fabricate superhydrophobic surf

Publikováno v: Physical Review Letters. 105

With a quartz crystal microbalance technique we have studied the nanofriction of neon monolayers deposited on a lead surface at a temperature around 7 K. Unlike heavier adsorbates, Ne is found to systematically slide at such low temperatures without

Novel Pre-oxidation Patterning on Thin Aluminium Film Generating Ordered Nanopores through Anodization

Autor: Giovanni Fois, Justin D. Holmes, Ciara T. Bolger, Graham L. W. Cross

Publikováno v: MRS Proceedings. 1258

Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) is widely employed as a template for fabrication of nanowires and nanotubes due to its ability to generate self organized (SO), well ordered pore structures. We have developed a new aluminum pre-patterning technique to cre

A versatile micro- particle imaging velocimetry ( mu- PIV) recording system is described, which allows us to make fluid velocity measurements in a wide range of flow conditions both inside microchannels and at liquid - solid interfaces by using epifl

We report the immobilization and characterization of a spiropyran (SP) derivative (1) on smooth Si(I 00) and porous H-terminated silicon surfaces through a thermal hydrosilylation protocol. Under visible light exposure the SP is in a closed, hydropho
