Heh. <br /><br />What I know about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_beam_epitaxy" rel="nofollow">molecular beam epitaxy</a> is probably better summed up at that Wikipedia article. I suppose molecular beams could also be used for chemical lithography applications, in lieu of electron beams or your preferred interval of the EM spectrum. I'm pretty sure it's been done, just can't quite remember where. I do recall that there are analytical chemistry applications of molecular beams, typically in analysis of environmental samples. The sample is pyrolyzed, a molecular beam is formed from the gas-phase species, and then subjected to mass spectrometry.MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02796378432680640144noreply@blogger.com
