Square atomic configurations of two-dimensional gold and platinum are designed on the basis of density functional theory calculations. Calculations reveal that Au 9 and Pt 9 clusters form energetically stable perfect square structures. Combining and alternating two Au 9 and two Pt 9 allows for the formation of infinit…

ABSTRACT Binary doped polypyrrole (PPy) encapsulated Titania (TiO 2 ) nanoparticles were prepared by oxidative polymerization using FeCl 3 as oxidant in presence of camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) as surfactant. Both FeCl 3 (oxidant) and camphorsulfonic acid (surfactant) also act as dopant and hence thus prepared polypyrro…

Tritium production is of critical importance to prospective DT fusion power plants. Lithium ceramic and beryllium based solid-type breeder blankets are an option for supplying the tritium required to sustain the DT plasma. This research investigates the time-varying tritium production in solid breeder blankets with di…

Bombyx mori silk fibroin fibers were grafted with methacrylamide (MAA) and characterized by Raman and infrared (IR) vibrational spectroscopy before and after hydrolysis in NaOH 5% to elucidate the possible interactions between the two components and the stability of the fibers toward alkaline hydrolysis. Upon grafting…

We identify features in the angle-resolved photoemission spectra (ARPES) arising from the periodic pattern characteristic for graphene heterostructure with hexagonal boron nitride $(h\mathrm{BN})$. For this, we model ARPES spectra and intensity maps for five microscopic models used previously to describe moir\'e super…

Gapped iron-core reactors can obtain larger inductance, but they make larger vibration and noise than other kinds of reactors. On vibration dampers, many researchers kept their eyes on vibration isolation structures or vibration isolation materials. However, they did not compute reactor core vibration under fundamenta…

A broad and expanding range of materials can be produced by atomic layer deposition at relatively low temperatures, including both oxides and metals. For many applications of interest, however, it is desirable to grow more tailored and complex materials such as semiconductors with a certain doping, mixed oxides, and m…

Intercalation and de-intercalation of lithium into graphene layers is a well-established phenomenon in Li-ion battery technology. Here we show how this phenomenon can be exploited to destabilize, and alter the hydrogen sorption behaviour of Li-based metal hydrides (LiBH 4 and LiAlH 4 ), thereby achieving lower hydroge…

Although discotic liquid crystals are attractive functional materials, their use in electronic devices is often restricted by high melting and clearing points. Among the promising candidates for applications are [15]crown-5 ether-based liquid crystals with peripheral n-alkoxy side chains, which, however, still have me…
