Adsorption of tetramer built of four identical spheres was studied numerically using the Random Sequential Adsorption (RSA) algorithm. Tetramers were adsorbed on a two dimensional, flat and homogeneous surface. Two different models of the adsorbate were investigated: a rhomboid and a square one; monomer centres were p…
Chemical adsorption of the species at semiconductor surfaces is analyzed showing the existence of the two contributions to adsorption energy: bond creation and charge transfer. It is shown that the energy of quantum surface states is affected by the electric field at the surface, nevertheless the potential contributio…
We simulate the electron transport across the Au(111)-pentacene interface using non-equilibrium Green's functions and density-functional theory (NEGF-DFT), and calculate the bias-dependent electron transmission. We find that the electrical contact resistance is dominated by the formation of a Schottky barrier at the i…
On the basis of energy conservation law an without utilizing Linear Fracture Mechanics (LFM) postulates the equation of a real-structure material elastic-plastic fracture has been derived. With the help of this equation the force and energy criteria of Non-linear Fracture Mechanics (NLFM) have been found. These criter…
We have reported nanopattern formation on carbon thin film and Si(100) surfaces by low energy inert and carbon ion beams. It is interesting to observe the role of carbon as target as well as projectile for nano patterning. Using carbon thin film as target, nano patterns of carbon are formed by inert (Ar+) and self (C+…
NiO/C nanocomposites were synthesized at different calcination temperatures using starch as the stabilizing agent. The NiO/C nanocomposites were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM…
We describe a strategy to design highly electrically conductive polycarbonate nanocomposites by using multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) coated with a thin layer of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrenesulfonate), a conductive polymer. We found that this coating method improves the electrical properties of…
The properties of complex oxide films depend sensitively on epitaxial strain. This strain affects bond lengths and angles, and defect types and densities, thus impacting physical properties. In this work we perform detailed characterization of depth-dependent strain in epitaxial La0.5Sr0.5CoO3-δ (LSCO) films on SrTiO3…
The interface between LaAlO(3) and SrTiO(3) hosts a two-dimensional electron system of itinerant carriers, although both oxides are band insulators. Interface ferromagnetism coexisting with superconductivity has been found and attributed to local moments. Experimentally, it has been established that Ti 3d electrons ar…
Studies have shown that CeO₂ nanoparticles (NPs) can be accumulated in plants without modification, which could pose a threat for human health. In this research, cilantro (Coriandrum sativum L.) plants were germinated and grown for 30 days in soil amended with 0 to 500 mg kg⁻¹ CeO₂ NPs and analyzed by spectroscopic te…
We report on the coupling of a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in a nanodiamond to a fiber-based microcavity at room temperature. Investigating the very same NV center inside the cavity and in free space allows us to systematically explore a regime of phonon-assisted cavity feeding. Making use of the NV center's s…
Silver nanoparticles cause toxicity in exposed organisms and are an environmental health concern. The mechanisms of silver nanoparticle toxicity, however, remain unclear. We examined the effects of exposure to silver in nano-, bulk-, and ionic forms on zebrafish embryos (Danio rerio) using a Next Generation Sequencing…
We report a disproportionation mechanism identified in the transformation of rod-like biicosahedral Au38(SCH2CH2Ph)24 to tetrahedral Au36(TBBT)24 nanoclusters. Time-dependent mass spectrometry and optical spectroscopy analyses unambiguously map out the detailed size-conversion pathway. The ligand exchange of Au38(SCH2…
The current broad interest in wetting characterization of solid surfaces is driven by recent advances in the formulation of surfaces and coatings that are superhydrophobic, superhydrophilic, oleophobic, oleophilic and so on. Unfortunately, the contact angle data presented in many publications raise some concerns among…
The atomic layer of hybridized hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and graphene has attracted a great deal of attention after the pioneering work of P. M. Ajayan et al. on Cu foils because of their unusual electronic properties (Ci, L. J.; et al. Nat. Mater. 2010, 9, 430-435). However, many fundamental issues are still not…
Abstract Few‐layered films of WS 2 , synthesized by chemical vapor deposition on quartz, are successfully used as light sensors. The film samples are structurally characterized by Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy. The produc…
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to compare mechanical response of polypropylene in multi‐cycle tensile tests with strain‐controlled and mixed deformation programs and to develop constitutive equations that describe quantitatively the experimental data. Design/methodology/approach Multi‐cycle tensile tests are per…

Controlled synthesis and integration of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) remain important areas of study to develop practical carbon-based nanodevices. A method of controlling the number of CNTs synthesized depending on the size of the catalyst was characterized using nanostencil lithography, and the critical dimension for the…
Ferroelektrische Eigenschaften bestätigt: Kürzliche Befunde für den Komplex aus Imidazol und L-Weinsäure beruhen auf einer unsauberen Analyse und Interpretation der experimentellen dielektrischen und kristallographischen Daten. Nun wurde insbesondere gezeigt, dass in dieser Verbindung ein Übergang zwischen einer ferro…
