Sentence examples for sphere removal from inspiring English sources

SCM has been tested to reduce the milling time for a single sphere removal which may allow the FIB milling to compete with other techniques.

(a and d: ion images, HFW = 5.12 μm and HFW = 2.84 μm, respectively; b and c: ESEM at 15 kV, chamber pressure 220 Pa ,HFW = 2.56 μm both) Figure 3 Close-up views of: (Left) the sphere removal in the square array of Fig. 2b; The area circumscribed by the green curve is where d is the sphere diameter.

The laser ablation produced by a femtosecond IR laser has been shown to achieve a single-sphere removal in a monolayer of 1-μm silica spheres [12].

Right S1: Another attempt to achieve a single-sphere removal without SCM; S2: a successful attempt which employs the SCM option.

The single-sphere removal technique can obtain different geometries such as the alternated vacancies reported in Fig. 2b, 2c or the removal of a row of spheres in Fig. 2d.

In this case, the milling time is decreased from 169s to 60s per single-sphere removal and the damage on the spheres closest to the produced vacancy is also minimized.

In our case σ also accounts for systematic errors that may arise from the ultimate resolution of the images (3.5 nm for ESEM and 5 nm for the FIB imaging), the imperfect alignment of the drilling axis and the sphere axis, etc. Figure 1 Left: Attempts to achieve a single-sphere removal using different strategies with a standard FIB milling (i.e., without water vapor injection for CE milling).

(a) Fabrication of PS spheres monolayer, (b) Ni film deposition, (c) PS spheres removal, and (d) RIE etching.

TiO2 hollow structures (HS) were synthesized by carbon sphere template removal method.

The authors of Ref. [10] have used a multistep process which includes the spin-coating and the the nano-imprinting of a PMMA resist on top of a silica DO, the insertion of smaller SiO2 spheres (defects), the removal of the resist and the final re-growth of the silica opals.

In the case of PS spheres (diameter 465 nm) the removal of one sphere takes 48 s with a circular pattern of 200 nm, at the current of 1 pA and the dose of 1.33 nC/μm2.
