Ultrasonic Spraying of Carbon Nanotubes using NMP

Willey A., Davis R., Vanfleet R., Brigham Young University, US

We will present a new method for spraying thin films of carbon nanotubes, in which they are suspended in an organic solvent and then sprayed ultrasonically onto a heated substrate. These thin films have applications [...]

Shock Testing of Free Standing Silicon-Nitride and Beryllium Membranes

Brough D., Barrett L., Vanfleet R., Davis R., Liddiard S., Cornaby S., Coffin M., Brigham Young University, US

As micro and nanotechnology continue to advice into products, durability, reliability and robustness become important factors. One application where micro technology needs such qualities is X-ray windows. X-ray windows consist of free standing thin film [...]

Low-Z, Chemically Resistant, Microfabricated Carbon Composite Transmission Electron Microscope Grids

Zufelt K., Vanfleet R., Davis RC., Brigham Young University, US

An issue that often impacts x-ray and electron analysis of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) samples is the presence of high-Z atoms in the sample substrate. In many cases, it is also desirable that the chosen [...]
