Titanium carbide (TiC) thin films were prepared by non-reactive simultaneous double magnetron sputtering. After deposition, all samples annealed at different temperatures under high-vacuum conditions. This paper mainly discusses the influence of deposition methods and annealing on microstructure, surface topography, bonding states electrical resistivity TiC films. XRD (X-ray diffraction) result...

High-resolution near-wall fluorescent microparticle image velocimetry (micro-PIV) was used in mouse cremaster muscle venules in vivo to measure velocity profiles in the red cell-depleted plasma layer near the endothelial lining. micro-PIV data of the instantaneous translational speeds and radial positions of fluorescently labeled microspheres (0.47 microm) in an optical section through the mids...

The purpose of this work is to numerically evaluate the behavior microscopic gas-focused liquid sheets in terms material properties, nozzle structure and operating conditions used for experiments spectroscopy scattering where a short optical path required. numerical simulations are presented gas flow focusing nozzle, capable producing stream consisting sequence perpendicular micrometre thin she...

In this paper, amorphous silicon nanowires (α-SiNWs) were synthesized on (100) Si substrate with silicon oxide film by Cu catalyst-driven solid-liquid-solid mechanism (SLS) during annealing process (1080 °C for 30 min under Ar/H2 atmosphere). Micro size Cu pattern fabrication decided whether α-SiNWs can grow or not. Meanwhile, those micro size Cu patterns also controlled the position and densit...

Double-focused muMLCs are able to create fields with steeper dose gradients at the field edges and are, therefore, an advancement in delivering stereotactic treatments. A double-focused muMLC has been installed at a Siemens Primus linear accelerator (linac) as a first research installation in Europe. The basic dosimetric parameters, such as leakage, output factors, depth-dose curves and penumbr...

This study investigates the mechanical and durability properties of 12 ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) mixes manufactured using alternate aggregate sources. Natural gabbro aggregates (GA), steel slag (SSA), recycled (RCA) were employed as coarse aggregates. The volume was limited to 12.5% total UHPC volume. Three types fibers employed: macro hooked-end fibers, micro st...

A wide-acceptance-angle spherical grid composed of numerous micro cylindrical holes was developed to be used for the retarding a display-type field analyzer (RFA) and enhance energy resolution ( E /? ). Each hole with diameter 50 µm depth 80 is directed center. The inner radius 40 mm. holed area corresponds an acceptance angle ±52°. RFA equipped estimated 2000 from measured Au 4 f photoemission...
