Nanocrystalline ZnO films were deposited onto glass substrates in the temperature range of 473–673 K using pulsed spray pyrolysis. The structural, substructural, and optical properties investigated by means X‐ray diffraction analysis, Raman scattering, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. effect substrate ( T s ) on coherent scattering domain (CSD) sizes L , microstrains ϵ microstress σ grades, average density dislocations ρ estimated through broadening lines Cauchy Gauss...
Few-layer MoS2 films stay at the forefront of current research two-dimensional materials. At present, continuous are prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques. Herein, we present a cost-effective fabrication large-area spatially uniform few-layer flakes using modified Langmuir-Schaefer technique. The compression liquid-phase exfoliated on water subphase was used to form layer, which subsequently transferred onto submerged substrate removing subphase. After vacuum annealing,...

We simulate the electronic system of ejected electrons arising when a tip, positioned few 10 nm away from surface, is operated in field emission regime. find that, by repeated quantum reflections (“quantum skipping”), produced at nanoscale primary site are able to reach macroscopic environment surrounding tip-surface region. observe hallmark skipping an energy filtered experiment that detects spin electrons.
Electron spectroscopy proves to be a handy tool in material science. Combination of electron and scanning probe microscopy is possible through Scanning Field Emission Microscopy (SFEM), where metallic positioned close the surface used as an source. However, using this not too much technologically demanding technique, it looks like compromise between lateral resolution spectroscopic clarity must considered. Here, we demonstrate, experimental simulation data, that information can understood...
In this study, we use Scanning Field Emission Microscopy (SFEM) combined with a miniature electron energy analyzer known as Bessel box to measure spectra emitted from sample. Previous studies using SFEM have revealed that the work function (ϕ) of material under study has significant role play in formation signal intensity. Hence, order understand ϕ greater detail, sample W(110) (ϕ = 5.25 eV) and Cs deposited on ≈ 1.7 were investigated. STM images show covered surface speckled appearance...
