Recent strategy in the electronics sector is to ascertain the ways to make cheap, flexible and environmentally friendly electronic devices. The 3D inkjet printing technology is based on the Additive Manufacturing concept ...

We discuss a novel inverse problem in which the data is generated by the sequential contractive projections of the convolution of two unknown functions, both of which we aim to learn. The method is illustrated using an ...

Core–shell silicon–silicon oxide nanowires are synthesized at low temperatures using inorganic and organic compounds of a tin as a catalyst. In situ simultaneous one-dimensional growth of pristine silicon nanowires (SiNWs) ...

The capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics of thin films of ZrO2 deposited by thermal metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) have been analyzed. The films were grown at three different temperatures (500, 550 ...

The occurrence of antibiotic resistance of pathogens is a continuing problem for the health care industry. At least 70% of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) are known to be resistant to a minimum of one or two of the ...

The adhesion and material properties of diamond-like carbon (DLC), deposited by the radio-frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition technique, can be significantly affected by the substrate material on which the ...

Growth in the use of organic materials in the fabrication of electronic devices is on the rise. Recently, some attempts have been undertaken to manufacture polymer memory devices. Such devices are fabricated by depositing ...

Polystyrene is a promising organic insulator for use in organic electronic devices owing to its excellent electrical and mechanical characteristics. However, much of the work that has been done in characterising polystyrene ...

Intensive research is currently underway to exploit the highly interesting properties of nano-sized particles and organic molecules for optical, electronic and other applications. Recently, it has been shown that nano-sized ...
