Fabrication of Black Phosphorus Nanoflakes

In this typical experiment, the BP nanoflakes with different thicknesses (specifically 28 nm, 47 nm, and 302 nm) were obtained by repeatedly exfoliating bulk crystals using Scotch tape. An all-dry transfer technique [9 (link)] was used for transferring BP flakes onto a heavily doped p-type silicon substrate with 300-nm thick silicon dioxide. All substrates were cleaned in acetone for about 10 min, followed by O2 plasma cleaning before transferring (Figure 1a). In the all-dry transfer process (Figure 1b), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was used as a viscoelastic stamp. To obtain the large-area BP nanoflakes, both BP nanosheets adhered with PDMS were baked on the hotplate for about 2 min at a temperature of 100 °C before exfoliating. Then the BP nanoflakes were mechanically transferred onto the PDMS. After that, under a Keyence Digital Optical Microscope and a micromanipulator, the BP nanoflakes were transferred onto the silicon substrate by peeling off the PDMS. Besides, prior to device fabrication, all samples were soaked in acetone for about 1 h to remove contamination (Figure 1c).

The oxidized powders, sintered substrates, and tribological wear tracks on the sintered substrates were analyzed for their microstructural morphology.
Optical microscopy has been carried out by Keyence digital-optical microscope, (Keyence VHX-950F model, Osaka, Japan). Scanning Electron Microscopy has been carried out by using Thermo Scientific Scios 2 equipment (Waltham, MA, USA) under SEM-BSD and SEM-SE modes using 4kV accelerating voltage. Phase analysis and elemental identification was performed by XRD—Cu Kα radiation using a Bruker AXS D8 Discover diffractometer (Billerica, MA, USA) equipped with Göbel-mirror and a scintillation detector.

Quantifying Modular Implant Taper Damage

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Devices were cleaned in accordance with institutional procedures. The
CoCr head and neck tapers were inspected visually and under a digital optical
microscope (Keyence; Itasca, IL, USA) for evidence of fretting and corrosion.
Composite fretting and corrosion damage at the modular CoCr head and metal stem
interfaces were characterized using a previously published 4-point semi-quantitative scoring
technique [8 (link), 16 (link)]: with a score of: 1, indicating minimal fretting or
corrosion (fretting on < 10% surface and no corrosion damage);
2, indicating mild damage (fretting on > 10% surface and/or
corrosion attack confined to one or more small areas); 3, indicating moderate
damage (fretting > 30% and/or aggressive local corrosion attack
with corrosion debris); and 4, indicating severe damage (fretting over majority
(> 50%) of mating surface with severe corrosion attack and
abundant corrosion debris).
Components were scored independently by the same three investigators. In
the event of disagreement between the scores, the three investigators convened
to adjudicate the discrepancy and arrive at a consensus score for the taper. The
investigators were blinded to the cohort status of the stems during scoring.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
