Centimeter-scale fully suspended metal and metal oxide thin films by one-step transfer-free liquid metal capillary forming

Fully suspended thin films can decouple substrate effects and provide additional tuning degrees of freedom compared with their substrate-supported counterparts, making them unique platforms for next-generation thin film devices. Here we report one-step, transfer-free and substrate-free fabrication of centimeter-scale ultrathin fully suspended metal and metal oxide film structures via liquid metal capillary forming. We show that, analogous to soap film formation, the instantaneously developed few-nanometer-thick native surface oxide can laminate various liquid metals into micrometer-thick metallic films. Surprisingly, the surfactant-like metal oxide bilayer can survive dewetting-induced liquid metal drainage, forming suspended two-dimensional films featuring an enormous lateral size-to-thickness ratio on the order of 10^7. We further demonstrate rapid prototyping of metallic minimal-surface thin-walled structures and ultra-sensitive acoustic wave detection with these suspended thin film platforms.

A Generative Adversarial Framework for Optimizing Image Matting and Harmonization Simultaneously

Image matting and image harmonization are two important tasks in image composition. Image matting, aiming to achieve foreground boundary details, and image harmonization, aiming to make the background compatible with the foreground, are both promising yet challenging tasks. Previous works consider optimizing these two tasks separately, which may lead to a sub-optimal solution. We propose to optimize matting and harmonization simultaneously to get better performance on both the two tasks and achieve more natural results. We propose a new Generative Adversarial (GAN) framework which optimizing the matting network and the harmonization network based on a self-attention discriminator. The discriminator is required to distinguish the natural images from different types of fake synthesis images. Extensive experiments on our constructed dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method. Our dataset and dataset generating pipeline can be found in \url{https://git.io/HaMaGAN}
