So, if you get caught out this winter, you can use table salt to melt your driveway and paths, but it’s not the ideal ...

Gain insights into electrode analysis with SEM and BIB milling, crucial for improving battery performance through precise measurement and automation techniques.

Ion milling is a highly effective sample preparation technique that provides professionals across various industries and academic fields with valuable insights into complex microscale structures, ...

When dealing with delicate structures, mixed-material composites, or complex multilayers, traditional methods like mechanical polishing can fall short, introducing artifacts, surface damage, or ...

Today we're looking at an ion milling machine. This instrument accelerates argon particles to high velocities and then slam them into your sample, acting as an atomic sandblaster. The sample is slowly ...

Focused ion beam methods have often become a de facto choice for metallic materials that could also be easily electropolished. FIB preparation of TEM samples is widely used for radioactive materials, ...

Abstract: A study has been undertaken of the ion milling properties of ZnS:Mn, Y/sub 2/O/sub 3/, Si/sub 3/N/sub 4/, SiO/sub 2/, SiO/sub x/N/sub y/, and Al versus the etching time, the acceleration ...

Focused ion beam (FIB) is a technique developed for the machine application of polymer thin micron at the nanometer scale. A study conducted by the Dow University has analyzed a multibeam ion ...

The automotive industry is quickly accelerating towards electrification, with electric vehicles, or EVs, paving the way. Of course, a critical component of every EV is the battery, which powers ...
