⎯ A new micromachining method to fabricate wafer scale, atomically smooth nano-membranes is described. The delicate membrane is supported on a robust silicon microsieve fabricated by plasma etching. The supporting sieve is micromachined independently of the nano-membrane, which is later fusion bonded to it. The transferred thin-film membrane can be dense, porous or perforated according to the a...

Gaining a detailed understanding of water transport behavior through ultra-thin polymer membranes is increasingly becoming necessary due to the recent interest in exploring applications such as water desalination using nanoporous membranes. Current techniques only measure bulk water transport rates and do not offer direct visualization of water transport which can provide insights into the micr...

In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 070401 (2006)] the transition rate of magnetic spin-flip of a neutral two-level atom trapped in the vicinity of a thick superconducting body was studied. In the present paper we will extend these considerations to a situation with an atom at various distances from a dielectric film. Rates for the corresponding electric dipole-flip transition will also be ...

Article history: Received 26 June 2016 Accepted 6 July 2016 Available online xxxx Degradation mechanism of foldable thin film transistors (TFTs) is investigated experimentally by electrical, mechanical and electrical–mechanical hybrid stress experiments. Mechanical and electrical stress environment was set for foldable TFTs and the degradation effect according to the applied stress is investiga...

If a tangle, K ⊂ B, has no planar, meridional, essential surfaces in its exterior then thin position for K has no thin levels.

The metal-organic framework (MOF) MIL-68(In)-NH2 was tested for dye removal from wastewater and carbon capture gas separation. synthesized as a neat, supported MOF thin film membrane spherical particles using pyridine modulator to shape the morphology. neat membranes were employed in cross-flow geometry, demonstrating strong molecular sieving. used electrospinning of poylethersulfone mixed-matr...
