Monolayer nano-sphere arrays attract great research interest as they can be used as templates to fabricate various nano-structures. Plasma etching, and in particular high-frequency plasma etching, is the most commonly used method to obtain non-close-packed monolayer arrays. However, the method is still limited in terms of cost and efficiency. In this study, we demonstrate that a low frequency (40 kHz) plasma etching system can be used to fabricate non-close-packed monolayer arrays of polystyrene (PS) nano-spheres with smooth surfaces and that the etching rate is nearly doubled compared to that of the high-frequency systems. The study reveals that the low-frequency plasma etching process is dominated by a thermal evaporation etching mechanism, which is different from the atom-scale dissociation mechanism that underlines the high-frequency plasma etching. It is found that the polystyrene nano-sphere size can be precisely controlled by either adjusting the etching time or power. Through introducing oxygen as the assisting gas in the low frequency plasma etching system, we achieved a coalesced polystyrene nano-sphere array and used it as a template for metal-assisted chemical etching. We demonstrate that the method can significantly improve the aspect ratio of the silicon nanowires to over 200 due to the improved flexure rigidity.

We recently showed that the energy density of a plasma is appreciably different than previously thought when high frequency plasma fluctuations, ω ≥ kB/ħ, are taken into account (M. Opher &R. Opher, 1999). A change in the primordial plasma energy density changes the primordial expansion rate of the universe, the neutron temperature freeze-out, and the primordial nucleosythesis abundances. The change in the primordial abundances due to the change in the primordial plasma energy density is evaluated, taking into account the high frequency, as well as the low frequency fluctuations of the plasma.

Abstract While low-frequency plasma fluctuations in the interplanetary space have been successfully described in the framework of classical turbulence, high-frequency fluctuations still represent a challenge for theoretical models. At these scales, kinetic plasma processes are at work, but although some of them have been identified in spacecraft measurements, their global effects on observable quantities are sometimes not fully understood. In this paper we present a new framework to the aim of describing the observed magnetic energy spectrum and directly identify in the data the presence of Landau damping as the main collisionless dissipative process in the solar wind.
