Effects of In-Situ Temperature Control on the Nanostructure of Glancing Angle Deposition Thin Films
DownloadFall 2013
Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) is a thin film deposition technique that utilizes oblique vapour incidence and substrate rotation to grow various nanocolumn structures. The growth of these structures is heavily influenced by the substrate temperature during deposition. Therefore, in-situ...

Time-Resolved Ultrathin-Layer Chromatography (TR-UTLC) Programming Code
2014-03-11
This collection of programming code is designed for the analysis of video frames extracted from recordings of coloured sample separations in planar chromatography (TLC, thin-layer chromatography; and UTLC, ultrathin-layer chromatography). The tool set enables semi-automatic extraction of...
