    摘要: Provided herein are methods for forming one or more silicon nanostructures, such as silicon nanotubes, and a silica-containing glass substrate. As a result of the process used to prepare the silicon nanostructures, the silica-containing glass substrate comprises one or more nanopillars and the one or more silicon nanostructures extend from the nanopillars of the silica-containing glass substrate. The silicon nanostructures include nanotubes and optionally nanowires. A further aspect is a method for preparing silicon nanostructures on a silica-containing glass substrate. The method includes providing one or more metal nanoparticles on a silica-containing glass substrate and then performing reactive ion etching of the silica-containing glass substrate under conditions that are suitable for the formation of one or more silicon nanostructures.

    摘要: The purpose of diffusion assisted crystal hydrothermal growth is to facilitate a greatly increased crystal growth rate that would save time that is precious in such a material and manpower costly process. The assisted crystal growth itself requires the utilization of a piezoelectric shaker connected to the autoclave in which most industrial hydrothermal crystals are grown. The waveform can be modulated to induce transport of nutrient in a singular direction, customized to the topology of the apparatus. As it stands currently, the growth of most crystals that require autoclaves for their production can take anywhere from 3 months to up to 2 years, and accordingly carries many costs, particularly electricity and supervision of the autoclave(s), and other issues that may arise during the growth. While the product of this labor results in high-quality crystals, in reality, these are not at all what is needed outside of the laboratory environment. Using the assisted crystal hydrothermal growth process, average crystal growth can be cut in half, with the resulting crystals consequently being of a slightly lower quality, though still sufficient for most engineering purposes. Another advantage of using a piezoelectric shaker is that an additional sensor can be added to the autoclave to monitor the health of the autoclave using trending data obtained during the growth.

    摘要: Method for creating a flexible, multistable element (5): a silicon component (S) is etched with a beam (P) connecting two ends (E1, E2) of a rigid mass (MU) having a cross-section more than ten times that of said beam (P), SiO2 is grown at 1100° C. for a duration adjusted to obtain, on said beam (P), a first ratio (RA) of more than 1 between the section of a first peripheral layer (CP1) of SiO2, and that of a first silicon core (A1), and, on said mass (MU), a second ratio (RB) between the section of a second peripheral layer (CP2) of SiO2 and that of a second silicon core (A2), which is less than a hundredth of said first ratio (RA); cooling to ambient temperature is performed, to deform said beam (P) by buckling when said mass (MU) cools and contracts more than said beam (P).

    摘要: This invention relates to a method of growing a single quartz crystal stone. In particular, a method for hydrothermally growing a quartz stone from a quartz seed is disclosed. A substantially stress-free quartz stone is grown in an autoclave by clamping a quartz crystal seed plate in a clip so as to permit substantially unobstructed growth of the stone in the plane of the seed plate, and growing at least a portion of the stone through at least one aperture formed in the clip.
