Anodic aluminum oxide microchannel plates
A new material for microchannel plates (MCP) is proposed — anodic aluminum oxide. Microchannel plates made of this material may be much cheaper than with conventional lead glass MCP. Also a significantly smaller channel diameter (up to 70 nm) is easily achievable, which means better spatial resolution and the possibility to operate in strong magnetic fields. Methods and means are developed for ...
متن کاملRayleigh instability in polymer thin films coated in the nanopores of anodic aluminum oxide templates.
We study the Rayleigh instability of polystyrene (PS) thin films coated in the nanopores of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. After thermal annealing, the surface of the PS thin films undulates and the nanostructures transform from nanotubes to Rayleigh-instability-induced nanostructures (short nanorods with encapsulated air bubbles). With longer annealing times, the nanostructures further...
متن کاملEffect of nonsolvent on the formation of polymer nanomaterials in the nanopores of anodic aluminum oxide templates.
We study the effect of nonsolvent on the formation of polymer nanomaterials in the nanopores of porous templates. Water (nonsolvent) is added into a poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) solution in dimethylformamide (DMF) confined in the nanopores of an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template. Water forms a wetting layer on the pore wall and causes the PMMA solution to be isolated in the center of th...
متن کاملNano sand filter with functionalized nanoparticles embedded in anodic aluminum oxide templates
Since the ancient Egyptians had used sand as filter media for water purification, its principle has been inherited through generations and it is still being used now in industries. The sand filter consists of sand literally, and the voids within the sand bed are the pores for filtration. Here we present a filtration principle using nanoparticles, so that the voids between the nanoparticles can ...
متن کاملUsing anodic aluminum oxide templates and electrochemical method to deposit BiSbTe-based thermoelectric nanowires
In this study, the cyclic voltammetry method was first used to find the reduced voltages and anodic peaks of Bi3+, Sb3+, and Te4+ ions as the judgments for the growth of the (Bi,Sb)2 - x Te3 + x-based materials. Ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) was used as a solvent, and 0.3 M potassium iodide (KI) was used to improve the conductivity of the solution. Two different electrolyte formulas were first used:...
