Cantilever measurements of surface stress, surface reconstruction, film stress and magnetoelastic stress of monolayers

We review the application of cantilever-based stress measurements in surface science and magnetism. The application of thin (thickness appr. 0.1 mm) single crystalline substrates as cantilevers has been used successfully to measure adsorbate-induced surface stress changes, lattice misfit induced film stress, and magneto-elastic stress of ferromagnetic monolayers. Surface stress changes as small...

Preparation of Cr-doped TiO2 thin film by sonochemical/CVD method and its visible light photocatalytic activity for degradation of paraoxon

In this work, nanostructured TiO2 and Cr-doped TiO2 thin films were deposited on glass substrate through sonochemical-chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The resulting thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy techniques. The TiO2 thin film has nanocubic morphology and ...

Continuum limits of discrete thin films with superlinear growth densities

the analog theories for ‘continuous’ thin films showing that general compactness and homogenization results can be proven by adapting the techniques commonly used for problems on Sobolev spaces; on the other hand we show that new phenomena arise due to the different nature of the microscopic interactions, and in particular that for long-range interactions a surface energy on the free surfaces o...
