Another example is the patterned growth of 3D interposed VA-SWCNTs and VA-MWCNTs by activating selective regions of iron substrates used for the synthesis of VA

This will be the focus of this section, with particular emphasis on employing this approach to multicomponent scenarios relevant for the formation of binary FEBID structures, i.e., structures grown in the presence of

Multicomponent extension of the continuum model The extension of the model described above to the multicomponent case was first introduced by Lobo and

The contributions of various fragments to the spectra are shown separately in Figure 6 for a TEPC located at the Bragg peak on the beam axis. The peak in the distribution

Similarly THMA-functionalisation led to a multicomponent nitrogen peak, which could be fitted to the C–N bond in

These spectra vary characteristically near tubuli in dentin, proving a chemical or structural variation of the apatite nanocrystals. The infrared band strength correlates with the mineral density determined by electron microscopy. Since nano
