Study of evolution for 3D structured surface with nano-balls and walls-like features with thickness variation for WO3 thin films made by spray deposition by Mirela Petruta Suchea, Ioan Valentin Tudose, Cosmin Romanitan, Cristina Pachiu, Marian Popescu, Kyriakos Mouratis, Marina Manica, Stefan Antohe, Stelios Couris, Dragos Gabriel Zisopol, Octavian Narcis Ionescu, Emmanuel Koudoumas

“…In this scope, two different series of WO3 of 11 samples with different thicknesses each, starting from two tungsten peroxide precursor concentrations (0.05 M and 0.1 M) were fabricated by spray pyrolysis and thoroughly characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Results suggest that, for the mentioned concentrations, the main structural differences affect mostly the surface morphology and slightly the surface texturing. …”

Distinguishing physical vs. chemical templating mechanisms for inducing graphitization in novolac matrix by Sandra N Ike, Randy Vander Wal

“…First, the optimum weight percent of the 2D materials was determined with the composite graphitic quality measured by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Results revealed that hBN did not induce graphitization of novolac and was attributed to the absence of a sp² framework in hBN, unable to provide the crucial π-π interactions with the aromatic rings of the matrix. …”
