Proximity effect in ion-beam-induced deposition of nanopillars

Ion-beam-induced deposition (IBID) is a powerful technique for prototyping three-dimensional nanostructures. To study its capability for this purpose, the authors investigate the proximity effect in IBID of nanopillars. In particular, the changes in shape and dimension of pillars are studied when a second pillar is grown near an existing pillar....

A Novel High-temperature Pressure Sensor Based on Graphene Coated by Si3N4

The high-temperature pressure sensors have wide applications in aerospace, petroleum, geothermal exploration, automotive electronics, and other fields. However, the traditional silicon-based pressure sensors are restricted to pressure measurement under 120~{\circ }\text{C} and cannot be satisfied to measure the pressure of various gases or...
