Effect of the viscosity ratio on the PLA/PA10.10 bioblends morphology and mechanical properties [PDF]
PLA bio-blends with a predominantly biosourced PA10.10 in the composition range 10-50wt.% were prepared by melt blending in order to overcome the advanced brittleness of PLA.

Excitonic lifetimes in single GaAs quantum dots fabricated by local droplet etching
The time-dependent optical emission of GaAs quantum dots (QDs) is studied using single-dot photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy with quasi-resonant excitation into the QD d-shell. The QDs are fabricated with a very recently developed method, i.e. by local droplet etching of self-assembled nanoholes in an epitaxial AlAs/AlGaAs heterostructure surface and

Kardar-Parisi-Zhang growth on one-dimensional decreasing substrates [PDF]
Recent experimental works on one-dimensional (1D) circular Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) systems whose radii decrease in time have reported controversial conclusions about the statistics of their interfaces.

Single-dot Spectroscopy of GaAs Quantum Dots Fabricated by Filling of Self-assembled Nanoholes
We study the optical emission of single GaAs quantum dots (QDs). The QDs are fabricated by filling of nanoholes in AlGaAs and AlAs which are generated in a self-assembled fashion by local droplet etching with Al droplets.

A combination of capillary and dielectrophoresis-driven assembly methods for wafer scale integration of carbon-nanotube-based nanocarpets [PDF]
The wafer scale integration of carbon nanotubes (CNT) remains a challenge for electronic and electromechanical applications. We propose a novel CNT integration process relying on the combination of controlled capillary assembly and buried electrode ...

Telecom O-Band Quantum Dots Fabricated by Droplet Etching
We present a novel growth technique for fabricating low-density InAs/GaAs quantum dots that emit in the telecom O-band. This method combines local droplet etching on GaAs surfaces using gallium with Stranski–Krastanov growth initiated by InAs deposition.

Using Anisotropic Micro-Scale Topography to Manipulate the Wettability of Aluminum and Reduce the Retention of Water [PDF]
A method is described for fabricating controlled micro-scale, topographical features on aluminum surfaces for the purpose of exploiting those features to affect the surface wettability.

Position controlled self-catalyzed growth of GaAs nanowires by molecular beam epitaxy [PDF]
GaAs nanowires are grown by molecular beam epitaxy using a self-catalyzed, Ga-assisted growth technique. Position control is achieved by nano-patterning a SiO2 layer with arrays of holes with a hole diameter of 85 nm and a hole pitch varying between 200 ...
