Structural and gas-sensing properties of CuO–CuxFe3−xO4 nanostructured thin films [PDF]
, 2010 Nanocrystalline CuO–CuxFe3−xO4 thin films were developed using a radio-frequency sputtering method followed by a thermal oxidation process. Thin films were deposited applying two very different conditions by varying the argon pressure and the target-to ...

Optimal geometry for a quartz multipurpose SPM sensor
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2013 We propose a geometry for a piezoelectric SPM sensor that can be used for combined AFM/LFM/STM. The sensor utilises symmetry to provide a lateral mode without the need to excite torsional modes.
