You are depositing indium on a glass substrate. (a) Suppose that the surface energy of the substrate is 2.5 times higher than that of indium and that the interface energy is twice as high as indium. Calculate the contact angle you would expect for the deposited indium (b) If you were able to lower the surface energy of the substrate by a factor of 2 without affecting the interface energy through the application of a surfactant how would you expect the contact angle to change?

A 10 monolayers thick layer of Ag is deposited on Mo. The intensity of electrons emitted by the Ag and Mo can be measured separately. The ratio IAg/IMoi =100 for the deposited film. The mean free path of the electrons is 0.6 nm and the thickness of one layer is 0.18 nm. After heating the sample, the Ag layer has agglomerated in islands that cover a fraction q of the surface. Between the islands the Mo is “visible”. The intensity ratio after agglomeration is IAg/IMof = 1. Calculate the sensitivity of the electron spectroscopy technique for Ag with respect to Mo. I.e. how many electrons are emitted from one layer of Ag atoms compared to one layer of Mo atoms. And use this to determine what fraction of the surface is covered by islands?
Between germanium and zinc sulfide, which material would be useful for use as an optical detection device (eg. photodiode) in the near infrared at room temp? Note: Both Ge and ZnS are considered semiconductor materials, but their energy band gaps are quite different. More Info: Eg for Ge ( T = 300K) = 0.66 eV, and Eg for ZnS ( T = 300K) = 3.6 eV.
