  • Patent number: 10804071
    Abstract: An electron microscope specimen includes a first electron-transport layer, a second electron-transport layer, a spacer layer, and a carrier layer. The second electron-transport layer has a first opening, a second opening, and a viewing area, wherein the viewing area is between the first opening and the second opening. The spacer layer is sandwiched between the first electron-transport layer and the second electron-transport layer, and the spacer layer has an accommodating space communicating with the first opening and the second opening. The carrier layer is disposed on the second electron-transport layer, and has a viewing window, a first injection hole, and a second injection hole, wherein the viewing window is substantially aligned with the viewing area and the accommodating space, and the first injection hole and the second injection hole respectively communicate with the first opening and the second opening.

  • Publication number: 20160300964
    Abstract: A solar battery includes a substrate having a surface, a first electrode and a second electrode arranged on the surface of the substrate with a narrow gap left therebetween, and a structural member arranged on one border edge of the first electrode adjacent to the narrow gap. Thus, when light is irradiated to the structural member, the unreflected light causes creation of surface plasmons on the first electrode and a potential difference relative to the second electrode so that free electrons can flow along the surface of the first electrode and the surface of the second electrode to further generate a current signal.

  • Publication number: 20150357548
    Abstract: A method for forming a thermoelectric film having a micro groove includes the following steps: A) forming a plurality of parallel sacrificing wires by electrospinning, a diameter of each sacrificing wire being 100-500 nm; B) coating a thermoelectric film having a thickness of 80-200 nm on a part of a surface of each sacrificing wire; and C) removing the sacrificing wires from the thermoelectric films and thus obtaining the thermoelectric films each having the micro groove, a radio side of each thermoelectric film being open to the surroundings. The thermoelectric films finally prepared can have higher size uniformity without the disadvantage of catalyst residual. Further, the thermoelectric films each have a size smaller than the mean free path of phonons in one dimension, and thus the thermoelectric properties of the thermoelectric films can be improved.
