In this research paper, total 246 individual microfluidic devices have been fabricated by maskless lithography, hot embossing lithography and direct bonding technique. The effect of surface area to volume ratio on the surface-driven capillary flow of different liquids has been experimentally investigated in these microfluidic devices fabricated by polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Also, the individual effects of liquid viscosity and surface wettability on the surface-driven capillary flow of different liquids are experimentally investigated. The polystyrene particles of 10[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m diameters have been separated from the aqueous microparticle suspensions in the microfluidic lab-on-a-chip systems with 100% separation efficiency. Also, the polystyrene particles of 5[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m diameters have been separated from a different set of aqueous microparticle suspensions in the microfluidic lab-on-a-chip systems with 100% separation efficiency. The individual designs of the microfluidic lab-on-a-chip systems are a novel approach in this research paper. The effect of surface area to volume ratio on the separation time is experimentally investigated as another novel approach of this research paper.

The nucleation and initial stage of Pd2Si crystals on Si(111) surface is studied in situ using an Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). A modified JEOL 200CX TEM is used for the study. The Si(111) sample is prepared by chemical thinning and is cleaned inside the UHV chamber with base pressure of 1x10−9 τ. A Pd film of 20 Å thick is deposited on to the Si(111) sample in situ using a built-in mini evaporator. This room temperature deposited Pd film is thermally annealed subsequently to form Pd2Si crystals. Surface sensitive dark field imaging is used for the study to reveal the effect of surface and interface steps.The initial growth of the Pd2Si has three stages: nucleation, growth of the nuclei and coalescence of the nuclei. Our experiments shows that the nucleation of the Pd2Si crystal occurs randomly and almost instantaneously on the terraces upon thermal annealing or electron irradiation.
