The interfacial layer between high-k thin film and silicon substrate is approximately 1-nm native SiO2.
In this work, solution-processable material, rhodamine 101, was used as the interfacial layer between the PCBM layer and Ag cathode.
The composition and properties of the interfacial layer between Al2O3 and BP have been examined by physical characterizations, and the mechanisms behind are analyzed.
Thermal stresses around a crack in the interfacial layer between two dissimilar elastic half-planes are solved.
In summary, we have achieved the vertical growth of GaN nanowires via a VLS mechanism using Au/Ni bi-metal catalysts, which leads to the growth of nanowires without the interfacial layer between the nanowires and the substrate and, in turn, enables their vertical growth.
The interfacial layer between the ER and SB phases varies from 100 to 300 nm for the blend with 20 wt% SB content, SB micelles are formed surrounding the SB domains in the ER matrix.
The Al2O3 films retain sufficiently integral to limit the excessive growth of the interfacial layer between Fe3O4 and electrolyte, which in turn improves the electrochemical kinetics at the electrode/electrolyte interface and maintains a relatively stable interfacial resistance during whole discharge/charge cycles.
The origin of the observed behaviour is discussed based on various mechanisms: shear-induced mutual compatibility between components, squeeze-out/drainage of the interfacial layer, frictional pull-out of BC chains, collision-induced entrapment of BC between interfaces, encapsulation of the BC based on the concept of elastic interfacial curvature.
(37) The establishment of a mucoadhesive bond between polymeric components and a biological substrate may be influenced by the surface of the biological substrate, the surface of the bioadhesive layer and the interfacial layer between the two.
