Joule heat welding of thin wires to thin films

To effectively use micro or nano materials and create advanced materials systems from them, welding techniques for such small scale materials are vital. For this purpose, the tips of two thin wires were welded together with Joule heat and the conditions required to achieve it was discovered experime...
