Metal Nanowire

We have developed a simple method of fabricating liquid metal nanowire (NW) arrays of eutectic GaIn (EGaIn). When an EGaIn droplet anchored on a flat substrate is pulled perpendicular to the substrate surface at room temperature, an hourglass shaped EGaIn is formed. At the neck of the shape, based on the Plateau–Rayleigh instability, the EGaIn bridge with periodically varying thicknesses is formed. Finally, the bridge is broken down by additional pulling. Then, EGaIn NW is formed at the surface of the breakpoint. In addition, EGaIn NW arrays are found to be fabricated by pulling multiple EGaIn droplets on a substrate simultaneously. The average diameter of the obtained NW was approximately 0.6 μm and the length of the NW depended on the amount of droplet anchored on the substrate. The EGaIn NWs fabricated in this study may be used for three-dimensional wiring for integrated circuits, the tips of scanning probe microscopes, and field electron emission arrays.

In this work we have deposited silicon carbide (SiC) at 1300°C with the addition of small amounts of propylene. The use of propylene and high concentrations of methyltrichlorosilane (9 vol %) allowed the deposition of superhard SiC coatings (42 GPa). The superhard SiC could result from the presence of a SiC–C solid solution, undetectable by X-ray diffraction but visible by Raman spectroscopy. Another sample obtained by the use of 50 vol % Argon, also showed the formation of SiC with good properties. The use of a flat substrate together with the particles showed the importance of carrying out the analysis on actual particles rather than in flat substrates. We show that it is possible to characterize the anisotropy of pyrolytic carbon by Raman spectroscopy.

Set Up

On-demand electrohydrodynamic jetting also called electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA) is a method to jet small amounts of fluid out of a nozzle with a relatively large diameter by switching on and off an electrical field between the nozzle and the substrate. The total amount of volume deposited is up to 5 pL. The set-up consists of a vertically placed glass pipette with a small nozzle directed downward and a flat substrate placed close to the end of the nozzle. Inside the pipette, an electrode is mounted close to the entrance of the nozzle. The electrode is connected to a high voltage power amplifier. Upon switching on the electrical field, the apparent surface tension drops, the meniscus deforms into a cone and fluid starts to flow toward the nozzle deforming the meniscus. At a certain moment the cone reaches the Taylor cone dimensions and from its tip a jet emerges that decomposes into a stream of charged fL droplets that fly toward the substrate. This process stops when the pulse is switched off. After switching off, the meniscus returns slowly to its equilibrium position. The process is controlled by different time constants, such as the slew rate of the power amplifier and the RC time of the electrical circuit composed of the electrical resistance in the fluid contained in the nozzle between the electrode and the meniscus, and the capacitance of the gap between the meniscus and the flat substrate. Another time constant deals with the fluid flow during the growth of the meniscus, directly after switching on the pulse. This fluid flow is driven by hydrostatic pressure and opposed by a viscous drag in the nozzle. The final fluid flow during droplet formation is governed by the balance between the drag of the charge carriers inside the fluid, caused by the current associated with the charged droplets leaving the meniscus and the viscous drag. These different phenomena will be discussed theoretically and compared to experimental results.

The contact between substrate and micro-cantilever simplified as an ideal flat substrate contact with a micro-cantilever rough surface. A three-dimensional adhesive contact model was established on isotropic rough surfaces exhibiting fractal behavior, and the equivalent plastic strain was discussed using the finite element analysis. The maximum equivalent plastic strain and its depth were presented with the different paths of rough solid when loading. The result show that the equivalent plastic strain versus different depth which at different locations showed different laws, in the top area of the asperities versus different depth, the maximum equivalent plastic strain occurs in the subsurface range about 0.5μm from the surface or on the surface. In addition, with different deformation characteristics, the degree of the equivalent plastic strain was different.. The contact model between micro-cantilever rough surface and flat substrate will lay a foundation to further research on the substance of the process of friction and wear.

Supersonic Plasma Jet

In the framework of a multi-fluid axisymmetric hydrodynamic model, the interaction of a supersonic plasma jet containing nanoparticles with a flat substrate is investigated using computer simulation. In particular, the fluxes of nanoparticles on the substrate are studied at plasma inlet pressure P0=1...100 Torr. The results show that a shock wave is formed near the substrate, which affects the energy of nanoparticles and their fluxes on the substrate. The width of the region along the radius, where the flow of nanoparticles onto the substrate is essential, depends on the plasma pressure in the jet. At large values of plasma pressure (P0≥75 Torr) a cloud of nanoparticles with a sharp boundary is formedon the axis of the plasma jet near the substrate. Interacting with this cloud, nanoparticles moving in the plasma jet, lose directed energy and their flow on the substrate near the axis of the jet is zero.

Self Aggregation

The results of experiments on the self-aggregation of C60 fullerene molecules both inside a two-component solvent (xylene/tetrahydrofuran) and in the volume of an evaporating drop of C60 colloidal solution on a flat substrate surface are presented. The investigations of C60 solutions using dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy and UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy methods revealed the possibility of synthesis of fractal nanoaggregates with a diameter of up to ~135 nm at low concentrations of C60 in the solutions. The final geometric dimensions of C60 nanoaggregates were determined by the initial concentration of fullerene in the solvent medium. Using the scanning electron microscopy method, we have shown that in an open dissipative system – in the volume of an evaporating droplet of the colloidal solution of fullerene C60 sessile on the surface of a flat glass substrate, large quasispherical nanoaggregates with an average diameter of ~380–800 nm are formed. The physical features and regularities that characterize the processes of self-aggregation of fullerene particles in the volume of a drying drop were determined.
