Influence of the short time external polarization of silver electrode contacted Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 electrolyte was studied. Silver is moving along the Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 surface during the -0.5 V cathodic polarization at 600°C. It caused both the increase of the electrode - electrolyte contact area and the triple phase bounda…

We have developed a new computational method to efficiently estimate capillary interactions among many moving particles at a free surface. A novelty of the method is the immersed free surface (IFS) model that transforms the surface tension exerted on a three-phase contact line on a particle surface into the surface te…

In this Letter, we propose an optical configuration of a four-domain vertical-alignment (VA) liquid-crystal (LC) cell, which can improve the γ-curve distortion by using a pair of patterned A plates, without any change in cell structure. In order to find the optimal parameter value of the patterned A film, we calculate…

An optimum configuration of Ag–Au and Cu–Au core–shell nanorods is proposed for biological sensing applications. The analysis of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in metal nanoparticles by means of extended Gans theory reveals that the sensitivity of the nanorod is controlled by three main factors: composition, aspect r…

Etching of indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films in high density chlorine plasmas is studied, with the goal of increasing the etching selectivity to photoresist. The ITO etching rate increases with ethylene addition, but is not affected by BCl3 addition. ITO exhibits a threshold energy for ion etching, whereas the photore…
