LiNi0.4Co0.3Mn0.3O2 thin film electrodes are fabricated from LiNi0.4Co0.3Mn0.3O2 raw powder at room temperature without pretreatments using aerosol deposition that is much faster and easier than conventional methods such as vaporization, pulsed laser deposition, and sputtering. The LiNi0.4Co0.3Mn0.3O2 thin film is composed of fine grains maintaining the crystal structure of the LiNi0.4Co0.3Mn0....

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The AD688 is a high precision ±10 V tracking reference. Low tracking error, low initial error and low temperature drift give the AD688 reference absolute ±10 V accuracy performance previously unavailable in monolithic form. The AD688 uses a proprietary ion-implanted buried Zener diode, and laser-waferdrift-trimming of high stability thin-film resistors to provide outstanding...

A desired reflectance profile versus frequency (wavenumber) can be directly Fourier transformed into the index of refraction profile as a function of thickness which would produce the desired spectral reflectance profile. This tool has existed for some years now but does not seem to be in common use. This paper lays out some of the principles to aid in making the process more understandable, in...

The focus of this thesis is to analyze cost trends and government incentives in the California PV market during 2007-2008. The data show that pre-rebate system costs increased in California during this time period and that this was driven by a surge in worldwide module cost. Systems employing thin film technology did not exhibit a downward impact on cost, which contradicts historical and techno...

Photoinductive (PI) field mapping for eddy-current (EC) probes above a thin metal film was performed by multiphysics analysis with two-dimensional finite element method (FEM). The FEM model of PI method was used to observe how metal film properties affect the field-mapping signals of EC probes. The PI signal was tested for effects of resistivity, temperature coefficient of the resistivity, ther...

We report an experimental study of the adhesion properties of polydopamine thin films and their bonding behavior on polymer, glass and metal surfaces. Dopamine is able to adsorb onto all surfaces and self-polymerize into a thin hydrophilic film. Dynamic contact angle measurements revealed a large contact angle hysteresis between advancing and receding angles and a possible hydration layer when ...

In this article, we report an alternative method for in situ monitoring of the thickness and refractive index of thin film during the growth process. We design a special structure with a thickness-controlled air film to simulate the process of thin film growth. The phase term of the reflected light coming from this multi-layer structure is modulated and has a strong correlation with the thickne...

This paper reports the correlation between film thickness, nanostructure and DC electrical properties of copper thin films deposited by PVD method on glass substrate. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used for crystallography and morphology investigation, respectively. Resistivity was measured by four point probe instrument, while a Hall effects measurement system w...

The progress in high technology has led to the wide use of thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFTLCD). The evolution of the manufacturing technology of TFT-LCD keeps increasing the size of TFT-LCD since a larger TFT-LCD allows a larger display application and an improved productivity. However, as the size of TFT-LCD increases, the size of TFT-array substrates and color filter substrat...
