CVD film growth proceeds from the substrate up, allowing for interfacial engineering, real-time monitoring, thickness control, and the synthesis of films with graded composition.
In this study, we demonstrated the ease and usefulness of an intraoperative SDOCT machine to monitor corneal thickness during CXL and compare the change in corneal thickness with and without the use of lid speculum during corneal saturation with riboflavin.
In addition, it is also shown that XPS imaging can be employed to monitor the thickness of all multilayers.
The values of these thicknesses were used as input parameters in our deposition controller, which was based on a quartz microbalance, to monitor the thickness and deposition rate of the Co films.
We could also monitor the thickness of the native oxide layer grown on our Al-based samples in a restricted range between 2 and 10 nm and determine its value as explained in "Methods".
Our system was successfully deployed to monitor the thickness of a compound-metal (tungsten and steel) sheets used in vibration screens, which are utilized in the harsh industrial environments of the Oil-Sands, located in northern Alberta, Canada.
The QCM was used to monitor the thickness of the film growth in-situ, and was positioned such that it directly faced the incident vapor.
Scientists are constantly monitoring the thickness and extent of the Arctic's ice cover.
This work assesses ultrasound's reproducibility for monitoring enamel thickness in vivo.
For selected samples, we artificially monitored the thickness of the alumina layer by depositing a thin layer of aluminium atoms in ultra-high vacuum at liquid nitrogen temperature.
