The uniquely low friction behavior of near-frictionless carbon (NFC) as compared to conventional diamondlike carbon (DLC) is determined by the bonding within the film. Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used to probe the bonding environment of carbon and hydrogen…

Safe and reliable operation is still one of the major challenges in the development of the new generation of ITER-like fusion reactors. The deposited plasma energy during major disruptions, edge-localized modes (ELMs) and vertical displacement events (VDEs) causes significant surface erosion, possible structural failu…

The search for multifunctional materials as multiferroics to be applied in microelectronic or for new, chemically stable and nontoxic, thermoelectric materials to recover waste heat is showing a common interest in the oxides whose structures contain a triangular network of transition-metal cations. To illustrate this…

Three-dimensional normal grain growth process was simulated in scale of 300×300×300 on the basis of Monte Carlo–Potts model to study topology-dependent growth rate equations for individual grains. The results show that those growth rate equations solely dependent on the grain face number (f) are not applicable for gra…

Refractory oxide melts of the binary system MgO-Al 2 O 3 have been studied by molecular dynamics simulation using an advanced ionic interaction model derived from first-principles. The simulations reproduce well experimental densities, structure factors, and transport properties. Anomalous behavior of the latter was o…

The role of oxide substrate with respect to ${\text{O}}_{2}$ adsorption induced changes in the Raman spectra of individual metallic carbon nanotubes is examined. A chiral metallic nanotube suspended over a trench exhibits a relatively simple two-peak $G$-band feature with no observable $D$-band intensity. On the other…

Single-crystal CdTe nanorods with diameters of 50-100 nm were synthesized under a surfactant-assisted hydrothermal condition. The experimental results indicated that with a temporal dependence the morphologies of CdTe nanocrystallites changed from nanoparticles to smooth surface nanorods. The crystal structure, morpho…

The Bragg peaks in x-ray diffraction experiments are generally taken to be a reliable measure of the average lattice distance in crystals. We show that this assumption can be misleading when determining hydrogen-induced volume changes. Experiments based on simultaneous determination of the position of the Bragg peak a…
