In the present investigation, we evaluated the half-metallic-ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic nature of Fe/Co/Ni doped ZnSe material systems. Our calculations show that for the majority spin channel, Zn0.75Fe0.25Se, Zn0.75Co0.25Se, and Zn0.75Ni0.25Se, are semiconductors, and for the minority spin channel, they are cond…

Proteinous bioplastics have received renewed interest over the last decade due to an awareness of the environmental impact of conventional plastics. In the second half of the previous century, further development of proteinous bioplastics was overshadowed by the fast growth in synthetic polymer technology. Today, prot…

Hydrogen is codoped with sodium into ZnO films. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectroscopy indicate that the Na concentration decreases as the substrate temperature increases. Hall-effect tests reveal a transition from n-type to p-type conduction when the growth temperature increases, which i…

The inception of cavitation in multibubble cases is studied numerically and theoretically to show that it is different from that in single-bubble cases in several aspects. Using a multibubble model based on the Rayleigh–Plesset equation with an acoustic interaction term, we confirmed that the recently reported suppres…

Our first-principles calculations show that if the hydrogen atoms on one of the faces of a graphane sheet (prehydrogenated graphene) are substituted with Li atoms, the resulting monolayer attains a good hydrogen storage capacity of around 3.8 wt % close to the revised Department of Energy (DOE) target. It is observed…

Grazing incident small angle x-ray scattering (GISAXS) and transmission small angle x-ray scattering studies have been carried out on periodic patterns on silicon substrates in order to determine the average morphology and arrangement of the patterned features. The GISAXS pattern exhibited rods of scattering at Bragg…

When a liquid droplet is located above a super-hydrophobic surface, it only barely touches the solid portion of the surface, and therefore slides very easily on it. More generally, super-hydrophobic surfaces have been shown to lead to significant reduction in viscous friction in the laminar regime, so it is of interes…

Introduction of CO 2 is a facile way to tune the growth of vertically aligned double- or single-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) forests on wafers. In the absence of CO 2 , a double-walled CNT convexity was obtained. With increasing concentration of CO 2 , the morphologies of the forests transformed first into radial bloc…

The specific activity of 0.8% Pt/Al2O3 catalysts in the deep oxidation of C1–C6 n-alkanes increases with an increase in the Pt particle size from 1 to 3–4 nm. Further coarsening of the particles insignificantly changes the specific activity. The size effect was studied for a series of catalysts containing platinum nan…

The authors have found that liquid gallium exhibits as a good graphitizing catalyst for a large area graphene sheet. While gallium and carbon are known to be an insoluble system, the authors have found that the catalytic reaction occurs at a very narrow interfacial region between amorphous carbon and liquid gallium.
