A portable quartz micro balance for physical vapor deposition techniques

A portable quartz micro balance for physical vapor deposition techniques.

A portable quartz crystal micro balance for physical vapor deposition techniques is presented. The device is used for the calibration of evaporators employed in the preparation of thin film systems that are studied in surface science. The design is based upon a portable sample setup, highly versatile and customizable. It can be transported within an ultrahigh vacuum system, stored in a sample g...

Evaluation of Vapor Deposition Techniques for Membrane Pore Size Modification

The suitability of three vapor deposition techniques for pore size modification was evaluated using polycarbonate track etched membranes as model supports. A feature scale model was employed to predict the pore geometry after modification and the resulting pure water flux. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) and pulsed plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), naturally, form asymmetric na...

Paper based Micro-batteries: Application of Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) and Metal Microparticles Dispensing Techniques

To accommodate the down-scaling electronic industry, the energy storage changes into micro-scale or even nano-scale. Therefore, development of new methods and materials that can provide microwattsis highly needed. We focus on using thin-film solid-state micro-batteries that are basically relied on electrochemical potential difference of metals. Zinc and Copper are used as the electrodes and pap...
