• derived from RBS data are averaged over areas that are significantly larger, by orders of magnitude, than the silver nanoparticles, in order to avoid errors due to the analysis of small, statistically deviating regions. Secondly, the penetration depth of the 1.4 MeV 4He+ ions reaches some micrometers due

• polymer with higher oxygen permeability would have a faster UV photoresponse. The UV penetration depth in ZnO is less than 100 nm, whereas the thickness of the nanowire film is several micrometers, indicating that the contribution to the photoconduction of a nanowire sheet comes mostly from the top layers

• ]: and It is worth noting that substrates with thin Au layers exhibit the highest absorbance; the optical data for glass substrates with 100 nm thick Au layers, in turn, correspond to the bulk values of Au [32]. For comparison, the 1/e penetration depth of bulk Au at a wavelength of 532 nm is about 18 nm

• (penetration depth, radius of the channel) and variable parameters (surface tension and contact angle) (Equation 4): were H is the final height of the liquid in the capillary. The values of the surface tension for all infiltrating liquids are all within the same order of magnitude. The values of contact angle
