A novel combined organic and inorganic process for preparing thin supported membrane was developed, using which a thin and defect-free Pd membrane with uniform thickness of 5 microm was directly coated onto porous alpha-Al2O3 hollow fiber without any interlayer and substrate penetration; at the same time, there existed a small interstice between membrane and substrate, which led to higher hydrogen permeance, infinite selectivity, and better membrane stability.

Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Delft University of Technology, Mekelweg 2, 2628 CD Delft, The Netherlands.

Chromium-based functional coatings (CFCs) are widely recognized for their outstanding wear and corrosion resistance across diverse industrial sectors. However, despite advancements in deposition techniques and microstructural enhancements, many contemporary CFCs remain vulnerable to degradation in highly corrosive environments. For the first time, this research delivers a thorough characterization of the corrosion resistance of advanced CFCs, focusing on the performance of a 5 μm thin dense chromium (TDC) coating.

The transfer of large-area, continuous, chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown graphene without introducing defects remains a challenge for fabricating graphene-based electronics. Polymer thin films are commonly used as supports for transferring graphene, but they typically require thermal annealing before transfer. However, little work has been done to thoroughly investigate how thermal annealing affects the polymer/graphene thin film when directly annealed on the growth substrate.

As the keystones of molecular electronics, high-quality nanodielectric layers are challenging to assemble due to the strictest criteria for their reliability and uniformity over a large area. Here, we report a strained poly(4-vinylphenol) monolayer, ready to be stacked to form defect-free wafer-scale nanodielectrics. The thickness of the nanodielectrics can be precisely adjusted in integral multiples of the 1.

After nearly 50 years of searching, the vacuum ultraviolet Th nuclear isomeric transition has recently been directly laser excited and measured with high spectroscopic precision. Nuclear clocks based on this transition are expected to be more robust than and may outperform current optical atomic clocks. These clocks also promise sensitive tests for new physics beyond the standard model.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on creating high-quality transparent electrodes without using indium by developing Mg, Al, and Ga co-doped ZnO/Cu/MgZnO multilayer thin films through magnetron sputtering.
  • As the thickness of the copper layer increases from 0 to 25 nm, the crystal orientation of ZnO decreases while that of Cu increases, leading to a smoother and more defect-free film surface.
  • An optimal copper layer thickness of 11 nm achieves the best photoelectric performance, with a resistivity of 1.24×10⁻⁴ Ω cm and a visible light transmittance of 84.2%, while doping with magnesium significantly enhances the films' optoelectronic properties.
