The purity of the lipids was evaluated using thin-layer chromatography on silicic acid-coated plates (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) developed with a chloroform/methanol/water mixture (65:25:4, v/v/v).
The shifts in ZEN, DON, 3-ADON and 5-ADON was evaluated using Fusarium-standard thin layer chromatography (TLC) (Vujanovic et al. 2012) combined with high performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization high resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC ESI HRMS) which is characterized with superior performance and sensitivity to discover masked or modified mycotoxins (De Boevre et al. 2016).
The surfaces of the as-deposited thin films were evaluated using SEM (S-4300SE; Hitachi Ltd ,Tokyo, Japan), and the cross-section of the interface between the BaTiO3 thin films and Pt substrate deposited using different starting powders was observed using a FIB system (Nova 600 Nanolab, FEI, Hillsboro, OR, USA).
The accuracy of the DTMs generated after data thinning was evaluated using the same approach as with the full-density DTM.
The mechanical behavior of Pt and Pt Ru solid solution alloy thin films was evaluated using wafer curvature and nanoindentation techniques.
Not only the vertical but also the lateral stiffness of thin films is evaluated using specimens in which nanosprings are sandwiched between solid Ta2O5 layers.
The thicknesses of the thin films were evaluated using an ellipsometer (AutoEL-II, Rudolph Research Analytical, Hackettstown, NJ, USA).
The deposited Al2O3 buffer layer and VO2 thin films were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM, JSM-7600F), X-ray diffraction (XRD, DX-2700), and atomic force microscopy (AFM, SPA-300HV).
The Young's modulus of a silicon nitride (Si3N4) thin-film was evaluated using an ultrasonically actuated microcantilever in the present study.
In this study, we developed a test method for determination of CTF based on multi-layer, thin-film phantoms, evaluated using spectral- and time-domain OCT platforms with different axial resolution values.
