AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a new forum member seeking guidance on analyzing X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of zinc oxide (ZnO). The user, a PhD student at the University of Auckland, is focused on characterizing thin films of ZnO as photocatalysts, specifically examining the effects on crystal structure and orientation before and after reactions. The initial response encourages providing more context about their application and understanding of relevant principles to facilitate better assistance. The thread has been moved to a more appropriate category to attract relevant expertise.

Welcome to the PF, arshid. Please put your question in context for us, so that we can help you. What is your application? What university are you attending? What do you know about the relevant equations and principles so far?
 
Hi Berkeman,
I am PhD student at University of Auckland (New Zealand). I am working on chracterization of thin films of ZnO as photo catalyst. I want to look the effect on the crystal structure, Crystal Orientation before and after reaction. Hope this is enough information. If you still need some info, then please let me know. Thanks & Regards

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...
