Graphene monolayer, with extremely low flexural stiffness, displays spontaneous rippling due to thermal fluctuations at a finite temperature. When a graphene membrane is placed on a solid substrate, the adhesive interactions between graphene and the substrate could considerably suppress thermal rippling. On the other…

Computational studies of complex defects in graphene usually need to deal with a larger number of atoms than the current first-principles methods can handle. Here, we show that a recently developed three-center tight-binding potential for carbon is very efficient for large scale atomistic simulations and can accuratel…

A new tree-like ZnO/CdSSe nanocomposite with CdSSe branches grown on ZnO nanowires prepared via a two-step chemical vapor deposition is presented. The nanotrees (NTs) are vertically aligned on a substrate. The CdSSe branches result in strong visible light absorption and form a type-II heterojunction with the ZnO stem…

A light-triggered strategy to functionalize nanodiamonds (NDs) with well-defined functional polymers is presented. The employed grafting approach is based on o -methylbenzaldehydes, which upon UV irradiation form o -quinodimethanes that undergo Diels–Alder reactions with dienophiles. A series of well-defined maleimide…

Today Cancer still remains a major cause of mortality and death worldwide, in humans. Chemotherapy, a key treatment strategy in cancer, has significant hurdles such as the occurrence of chemoresistance in cancer, which is inherent unresponsiveness or acquired upon exposure to chemotherapeutics. The resistance of cance…

The cutting process has a substantial influence on the ferromagnetic material properties of electrical steel sheets. In this paper, the properties of the degraded and nondegraded zones result from data obtained by two Epstein frame measurements using sample strips of two different widths. The magnetic characteristics…

We present density-functional theory calculations of the lattice dynamics of bismuth telluride, yielding force constants, mean-square displacements and partial densities of phonon states which corroborate and complement previous nuclear inelastic scattering experiments. From these data, we derive an element- and energ…

Stability of quantum dot (QD) films is an issue of concern for applications in devices such as solar cells, LEDs, and transistors. This paper analyzes and optimizes the passivation of such QD films using gas-phase deposition, resulting in enhanced stability. Crucially, we deposited alumina at economically attractive c…

A special catalytic growth effect (called the "external-field-induced effect") was found to exist on the poisoning target surface during the reactive sputtering process of a-C:H films. Enlightened by this effect, we demonstrate a facile approach to manipulate the medium-range-ordered nanostructure and mechanical and t…
