AI Thread Summary

In the context of doping, In/Zn = 1 at.% refers to the ratio of indium atoms to zinc atoms in a given sample. This means that for every 100 atoms of zinc, there is 1 atom of indium. The discussion centers on calculating the mass of indium chloride (InCl3) required to achieve this doping level in zinc oxide. The formula suggests that the number of indium atoms as a dopant divided by the total number of zinc oxide molecules equals 1%. Understanding this ratio is crucial for precise doping in materials science. Accurate calculations are essential for achieving desired electrical and optical properties in doped zinc oxide.

to find mass of indium chloride, InCl3, needed as dopant to dope in zinc oxide...Is it number of atoms dopant(indium in this case) divided by number of molecules of zinc oxide equal to 1%?

Sounds good to me.

Thread 'How could I make it so ferrofluid drops do not coalesce?'

Hello! I've been brainstorming on how to prevent a lot of ferrofluid droplets that are in the same container. This is for an art idea that I have (I absolutely love it when science and art come together) where I want it to look like a murmuration of starlings. Here's a link of what they look like: How could I make this happen? The only way I can think of to achieve the desired effect is to have varying droplet sizes of ferrofluid suspended in a clear viscous liquid. Im hoping for the...

Thread 'How do you fabricate microfluidic chips in your lab?'

Hello everyone! I am curious to learn how laboratories handle in-house chip manufacturing using soft lithography for microfluidics research. In the lab where I worked, only the mask for lithography was made by an external company, whereas the mold and chip fabrication were carried out by us. The process of making PDMS chips required around 30 min–1 h of manual work between prepolymer casting, punching/cutting, and plasma bonding. However, the total time required to make them was around 4...
