Samarium-based films have been shown to form from aqueous solutions on the surfaces of metallic substrates such as steel or aluminum, and their presence has been reported to decrease substantially the corresponding corrosion rate of the underlying metallic substrate.
As promising binder-free electrode materials in the supercapacitors, graphene-based films have been developed for enhancing their performance in energy storage by insetting "spacers" in-between nanosheets to prevent inevitable aggregations.
The intensity-dependent nonlinear optical properties of amorphous Si and nc-Si-based films have been reported previously.
A number of faith-based films have been successful recently - including Son Of God, God's Not Dead, Heaven Is For Real - but there are more high-profile names attached to this one.
The crystallinities and morphologies of ZnO-based films have been the focus of many studies [9, 11, 12, 15, 16, 19, 21, 23 25], as these properties play important roles in device applications.
Fig. 8 Pre-formed chiral complexes [Eu(17(R))3] and [Eu(17(S))3] developed by Gunnlaugsson et al. Whilst many potential applications of Ln III) based LB films have been proposed, one application that has begun to be realised is the ability of LB films to act as sensors.
The optical properties of the Cu Co Mn Si O based nanocrystalline thin films have been characterized by spectrophotometry and spectroscopic ellipsometry.
High intensity electron emission cathodes based on carbon nanotube films have been successfully fabricated by use of a screen printing method.
In contrast to CNTs, strain sensors based on conductive NP films have been demonstrated to possess much higher GFs.
Bactericidal properties of silver in the form of ions, nanoparticles, or composite nanodevices based on thin Ag films have been broadly reported [6, 7].
