Because of the atomic thinness graphene, its integration into a device will always involve interaction with at least one supporting substrate, making surface energy graphene critical to real-life applications. In current paper, contact angle synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) was monitored temporally after synthesis using water, diiodomethane, ethylene glycol, and glycerol. The then calculated based on data Fowkes, Owens–Wendt (extended Fowkes), Neumann models. fresh CVD grown...
Rodent hippocampal power spectra comprise of periodic and aperiodic components. The components (brain rhythms) contain information about the behavioral or cognitive state animal. are rarely studied their functionality is not well understood, though have shown to be correlated with animal's age excitation-inhibition ratio brain region. To study these in mouse hippocampus we modified existing open-source FOOOF toolbox, which was originally optimized for EEG data. First, using simulated data,...

In this Letter, we present a passively Q-switched Yb:Y2O3 waveguide laser using evanescent-field interaction with an atmospheric-pressure-chemical-vapor-deposited graphene saturable absorber. The waveguide, pumped by broad area diode laser, produced average output power of 456 mW at absorbed 4.1 W. corresponding pulse energy and peak were 330 nJ 2 W, respectively. No damage was observed, demonstrating the suitability top-deposited for high-power operation.
The first, to the best of our knowledge, Q-switched operation a pulsed-laser-deposited waveguide laser is presented. A clad Yb:Y2O3 was using an output coupling mirror coated with single layer graphene deposited by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition. During continuous-wave operation, maximum power 83 mW at slope efficiency 25% obtained. pulses as short 98 ns were obtained repetition rate 1.04 MHz and central wavelength 1030.8 nm.
We report the development and characterization of graphene/LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures. Complex-oxide heterostructures are created by pulsed laser deposition integrated with graphene using both mechanical exfoliation transfer from chemical-vapor on ultraflat copper substrates. Nanoscale control metal-insulator transition at LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface, achieved conductive atomic force microscope lithography, is demonstrated to be possible through layer. LaAlO3/SrTiO3-based electric field...
Mirror galvanometer systems (galvos) are commonly employed in research and commercial applications areas involving laser imaging, machining, laser-light shows, others. Here, we present a robust, moderate-speed, cost-efficient home-built galvo system. The mechanical part of this design consists one mirror, which is tilted around two axes with multiple surface transducers. We demonstrate the ability by scanning mirror using computer, via custom driver circuit. performance galvo, including scan...
While the motions of macroscopic objects must ultimately be governed by quantum mechanics, distinctive features mechanics can hidden or washed out thermal excitations and coupling to environment. We propose a system consisting graphene nanomechanical oscillator (NMO) coupled with single spin through uniform external magnetic field, which could become building block for wide range devices. The choice as NMO material is critical minimizing moment inertia oscillator. originates from...
The transfer of graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using amorphous polymers represents a widely implemented method for graphene-based electronic device fabrication. However, the most commonly used polymer, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), leaves residue on that limits mobility. Here we report and patterning employs perfluoropolymer---Hyflon---as handle to protect against contamination from photoresists or other polymers. CVD-grown transferred this way onto LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$...
