Surface Tension and Surface Energy01:16

Surface Tension and Surface Energy

3.3K
When a paint brush is immersed in water, the bristles wave freely inside the water. When it is taken out, the bristles stick together. The reason behind this effect is surface tension.
Consider a beaker filled with liquid. The bulk molecules in the liquid experience equal attractive forces on all sides with the surrounding molecules. However, the surface molecules experience a net attractive force downward due to the bulk molecules. The surface of the liquid behaves like a stretched membrane,...

Wood Surfacing01:14

Wood Surfacing

362
Wood surfacing is a critical finishing process designed to smoothen the wood surface, enhance its dimensional accuracy, and make handling safer. This process compensates for potential shrinkage during the seasoning phase by marginally increasing the wood dimensions before surfacing. It also helps correct some distortions that may occur as the wood dries.
The equipment used in the surfacing process is a plane equipped with rotating blades. This tool efficiently smoothens the wood surface and can...

Cell-surface Signaling01:21

Cell-surface Signaling

54.6K
Hormones—or any molecule that binds to a receptor, known as a ligand—that are lipid-insoluble (water-soluble) are not able to diffuse across the cell membrane. In order to be able to affect a cell without entering it, these hormones bind to receptors on the cell membrane. When a first messenger, a hormone, binds to a receptor, a signal cascade is set off, causing second messengers, proteins inside the cell, to become activated, resulting in downstream effects.

Area of a Surface of Revolution

64
Surfaces of revolution are formed when a two-dimensional curve is rotated around an axis, producing a three-dimensional shape. This concept is used in engineering tasks like determining the surface area of a rocket nozzle, where precise calculations are critical for applying uniform heat-resistant coatings. When a curve is revolved about the x-axis, it sweeps out a continuous surface whose area must be calculated accurately to estimate material requirements.Approximating with Conical BandsTo...

Equipotential Surfaces and Conductors01:16

Equipotential Surfaces and Conductors

4.4K
For a conductor in which all charges are at rest, the conductor's surface is equipotential. The electric field is always perpendicular to equipotential surfaces. Therefore, in a conductor with static charges, the electric field just outside the conductor is always perpendicular to the conductor's surface. Any tangential component of the electric field will cause charges to move inside the conductor, which will violate the electrostatic nature of the system. In an electrostatic...

Surface Membrane Barriers01:18

Surface Membrane Barriers

2.9K
The skin and mucous membranes serve as the primary line of defense against pathogens by providing both physical and chemical protection. These barriers are essential in preventing the entry and establishment of microbes, thereby maintaining the integrity of the host.
The outer layer of the skin, the epidermis, is a robust barrier comprising layers of closely packed keratinized cells. This dense arrangement prevents microbes from penetrating the body. The periodic shedding of epidermal cells...

Area of Science:

  • Surface science and condensed matter physics.
  • Materials science and nanotechnology.

Background:

  • Thin film deposition and annealing are crucial for creating novel material properties.
  • Understanding surface nanostructuring is key to controlling material behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the nanostructuring of gold (Au) thin films on a ruthenium (Ru(0001)) surface.
  • To characterize the surface morphology of Au/Ru(0001) after high-temperature annealing.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) for high-resolution surface imaging.
  • Analyzing gold thin films with 5 and 9 monolayers (ML) deposited at 300 K.
  • Annealing the films at 1050 K to induce structural changes.

Main Results:

  • A new, laterally periodic superstructure was observed on the 9 ML Au/Ru(0001) surface.
  • This superstructure presents as a surface atomic layer ripple with a height variation up to 0.03 ± 0.01 nm.
  • The in-plane periodicity of the ripple was measured at 4.6 ± 0.4 nm, with no long-range order detected.

Conclusions:

  • High-temperature annealing of Au/Ru(0001) thin films can lead to the formation of unique surface superstructures.
  • The observed rippling phenomenon provides insights into the self-assembly mechanisms of thin films.
  • Further studies are needed to explore the potential applications of such nanostructured surfaces.
