Transparent electrodes based on molybdenum-titanium-oxide with increased water stability for use as hole-transport/hole-injection components

Figure 6 from Selina Goetz et al. 2022 “Transparent electrodes based on molybdenum–titanium–oxide with increased water stability for use as hole-transport/hole-injection components”: AFM images of a bare glass, b bare PET, c MTO40/Ag14/MTO10/30 on glass and d MTO40/Ag14/MTO10/30 on PET Figure 6 displays the 1 × 1 µm2 AFM images of the DMD on glass and PET, as well as the corresponding bare substrate. The roughness of the electrodes is mostly affected by the underlying substrate. The extracted root mean square value (RMS) for the glass substrate (Fig. 6a) is 1.8 ± 0.1 nm and 11.5 ± 4.0 nm for the PET substrate (Fig. 6b). The RMS values of the DMD electrodes are even reduced, yielding RMS = 1.0 ± 0.1 nm for glass/MTO40/Ag14/MTO10/30 (Fig. 6c) and RMS = 4.8 ± 2.0 nm for PET/MTO40/Ag14/MTO10/30 (Fig. 6d). NANOSENSORS silicon high-resolution AFM probes for tapping mode with a typical AFM tip radius of 2 nm ( SuperSharpSilicon™ SSS-NCHR ) were used.

The application of molybdenum oxide layers in electronic devices like solar cells and organic light emitting diodes (LEDs) has expanded considerably. * Dielectric/metal/dielectric (DMD) transparent… Read More »Transparent electrodes based on molybdenum-titanium-oxide with increased water stability for use as hole-transport/hole-injection components

Accurate and rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing using a machine learning assisted nanomotion technology platform

Fig. 1 from Alexander Sturm et al. “Accurate and rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing using a machine learning-assisted nanomotion technology platform”: Nanomotion detection and recording platform. a Representation of the components of the nanomotion technology platform. b A representation of the nanomotion measurement setup with the (1) bacteria-loaded cantilever, (2) superluminescent light emitting diode (SLED) = light source, and (3) photodetector. c Schematic illustrating Gram-negative bacteria attached to the cantilever. Prior to attachment, bacteria are dispersed in gelling agarose while the cantilever surface is functionalized using positively charged poly-D-lysine. The gelling agent proved beneficial for an even distribution and stability of the bacterial attachment. d Representative standard 4-h nanomotion recordings with a 2-h medium phase (50% LB medium) followed by a 2-h drug phase with 32 µg/ml CRO for the E. coli reference strains ATCC-25922 (S, susceptible) and BAA-2452 (R, resistant). These recordings form the basis for using nanomotion to conduct AST. This study contains 219 recordings of ATCC-25922 and 225 recordings of BAA-2452 exposed to 32 µg/ml CRO with similar results. Data are available in the source data file. NANOSENSORSTM tipless uniqprobe AFM cantilevers SD-qp-CONT-TL from the NANOSENSORS Special Developments List were used.
