and cryogenic properties uniquely lend itself to its applications with limited substitutes or no available alternatives in some cases. Owing to helium's key role in energy transition (e.g. electric vehicles and batteries) and digital transformation (semiconductors, electronics, AI, telecoms, etc.),...
553 has a relatively stable crystal structure and a small thermal expansion coefficient. It is mainly used as metallurgical raw materials in the foundry industry. 441 has high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, and is widely used in electronics, optoelectron...
Controlled spalling is a technology to prepare single-crystal thin films of semiconductors by fracture with a subsurface crack propagating nearly parallel to the substrate surface. Practical applications require uniform thickness and a s... J Chen,J Chenenko,CE Packard - 《Jom the Journal of the ...
Considering that alumino-silicate minerals, which are abundant in the crust and mantle, exhibit large amounts of Al, the 27Al nuclear spin sub-system is a natural choice to be used as an internal reference for volatile trace element quantification for a plethora of geo-samples. It should be...
