Spin coating is a widely used technique for depositing thin, uniform films onto flat substrates, finding applications in microelectronics, optics, and nanotechnology.

Sometimes, seeing clearly requires complete black. For astronomy and precision optics, coating devices in black paint can cut down on stray light, enhancing images and boosting performance. For ...

University at Buffalo chemists have developed a novel way to grow chemically pure, zinc oxide thin films characterized by dense, bristle-like nanostructures and a new method for depositing them on ...

When Mitzi's team optimized the molecular proportions, spin-coating conditions and heat/annealing procedures, the films showed charge mobility approaching that of polycrystalline silicon and 10 times ...

Nitrogen gas flows from nitrogen knives are used extensively to induce film formation for controlling the coated wet film drying process. Slot-die coating with nitrogen gas quenching can be a suitable ...
