Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process and equipment models aim at relating set macroscopic process conditions (such as the used gases and their respective flowrates, the operating pressure and temperature) to macroscopic and microscopic film properties (such as thickness uniformity, conformality, crystallinity and morphology, and chemical composition and purity).
Maidment studies the skeletons of dinosaurs such as stegosaurus and triceratops; Bertazzo, the microscopic properties of living tissues such as human heart valves.
Theoretical models can capture this behaviour on the basis of microscopic properties of the filaments, such as the bending rigidity, length distribution and cross-link density9.
Furthermore some microscopic properties of pore geometries such as aspect ratio and length of pore throat are studied by using simplified 2D contraction expansion channels.
Jerry S.H. Lee, a nanotechnology project manager also at the National Cancer Institute, says that Kopelman's research bolsters the set of nanoscale tools that scientists are developing to probe cells' physical properties, such as special microscopic probes for measuring cell stiffness.
The very essence of nanofluids research and development is to enhance fluid macroscopic and megascale properties such as thermal conductivity through manipulating microscopic physics (structures, properties and activities).
Differences in these microscopic properties reflect changes to the biological characteristics of the nucleus, such as alterations to the nuclear envelope and nuclear lamina composition, chromatin organization, and nuclear body assembly.
The ability to increase the packing density of the ferroelectric structures, and thus the piezoelectric coefficients of the final device, is primarily limited by the fact that such tiny ferroelectric structures may not preserve their microscopic properties at macroscopic scale.
Statistical descriptors such as the two-point correlation function (S2) are commonly used in specialties such as material science and astronomy to characterize microscopic properties of materials or galaxy distributions.
