Mechanisms of de-icing by surface Rayleigh and plate Lamb acoustic waves
Shilpi Pandey, Jaime del Moral, Stefan Jacob +13
Acoustic waves (AW) have recently emerged as an energy-efficient ice removal procedure compatible with functional and industrial-relevant substrates. However, critical aspects at f…
Tailoring the Nucleation and Growth of Silver Nanoparticles by Sputtering Deposition under Acoustic Wave Activation. Assessment of Plasma Conditions and 2D Patterning Phenomena
Helene Reichel, Aurelio Garcia-Valenzuela, Jose Andres Espino-Roman +8
Early results on the plasma deposition of dielectric thin films on acoustic wave (AW) activated substrates revealed a densification pattern arisen from the focusing of plasma ions…
Conformal TiO aerogel-like films by plasma deposition: from omniphobic antireflective coatings to perovskite solar cells photoelectrodes
Jose M. Obrero, Lidia Contreras-Bernal, Francisco J. Aparicio +12
The ability to control porosity in oxide thin films is one of the key factors that determine their properties. Despite the abundance of dry processes for the synthesis of oxide por…
