Method and apparatus for two dimensional assembly of particles

摘要

A method and an apparatus ( 10 ) for making thin layers from particles, wherein the particles are deposited on a carrier fluid flowing by gravity along a ramp ( 12 ) leading to a dam ( 18 ). The particles are held back at the bottom of the ramp ( 12 ), thereby causing the particles to be piled up one against the other in a monolayer configuration.
