Pack of 10 nozzles that create gas accelerated thin-film liquid nanosheets.

The spray nozzles are manufactured from hydrophobic coated borosilicate glass. By using gas dynamic forces form a coflowing gas to shape the liquid flow, nano liquid sheets are created. The sheets are tunable in thickness from over 1μm down to less than 20nm, which corresponds to fewer than 100 water molecules thick. At this thickness, aqueous sheets can readily transmit photons across the spectrum, leading to potentially transformative applications in infrared, Xray, electron spectroscopies and beyond. These sheets are used at free-electron laser and synchrotron light sources.

Some intresting publications obtaind by use of the Sheet nozzles can be found under the tab "Product Questions".

Customer Questions
Why do I need a hydrophobic coating?
Normally glass would be hydrophilic and such water would “stick” a bit to the glass. To create a liquid sheet, you would like the liquid to exit in a straight line, typical inside a vacuum chamber. When no coating is applied the surface interaction will influence the flow at the channel exit with will prevent the flow from exiting in a nice straight line. This effect will be less when a hydrophobic coating is applied. Only in special liquid case (specific solvents) we would recommend a version without coating, often an alternative coating is applied by customers them self’s in this case.

Would a film degasser give a performance advantage?
It's recommneded to avoid the need for a film degasser, more advice can be found under "Read More".
What is the roughness of the etched structures?
Wet etched structures are extremely smooth and have a roughness in Angstrom range. The structures are fully optical transparent.
How can I interface with the sheet/converging nozzles?
You will need a interfacing tool from a third party (Neptune), see details for contact data.
