In previous studies of thin film wrinkling on soft substrates, the mechanics models usually assume plane-strain deformation, which was found to disagree with experimental observations for narrow thin ...

The aerospace, automotive, and environmental sectors often face harsh conditions such as high temperatures and corrosion. Thus, real-time in-situ temperature and pressure monitoring of critical ...

Semiconductor devices are becoming thinner and more complex, making thin deposited films even harder to measure and control. With 3nm node devices in production and 2nm nodes ramping toward ...

Thin films can be made from a variety of materials, including metals (e.g., gold, silver), oxides (e.g., silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide), and semiconductors (e.g ...

Thin films are two-dimensional (2D) material layers deposited on a bulk substrate, possessing a thickness of a few nanometers to impart properties that cannot be realized by base materials. The unique ...

Often no thicker than a piece of paper, thin-film solar panels are among the least visible advancements in renewable energy technology today. Unlike traditional silicon panels, which are rigid and ...
