Cahn's phenomenological theory of wetting of a solid substrate by a saturated vapor is generalized to the case where the substrate is charged and the wetting film contains counterions, with or without added salt. The electrostatic contribution to the grand potential associated with these ions is calculated within a no…

The Y-Si-O-N quaternary crystals are an important part of structural ceramics. Their crystal structures are complex and not precisely determined. Little is known about their electronic structure and bonding which are indispensable for a fundamental understanding of structural ceramics. Within the equilibrium phase dia…

The behavior of adsorbed water on oxides is of fundamental interest in many areas. Despite considerable attention received recently, our understanding of water chemistry is still short of needs and expectations, particularly on the topic of the coadsorption of water and other species. In this study we carry out densit…

In situ attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy in a flow-through cell combined with online UV−vis spectroscopy was used to investigate the oxidation of 2-propanol over Pd/Al 2 O 3 catalyst. The state of the catalyst was driven fast between reduced and oxidized by admitting alternately dissolved hydrogen and…

Macroporous silicon membranes are fabricated whose pores are terminated with 60nm thin silicon dioxide shells. The transmission of electrons with energies of 5kV–25kV through these membranes was investigated reaching a maximum of 22% for 25kV. Furthermore, the transmission of electromagnetic radiation ranging from the…

We consider a minimal coupled charge / excitation-lattice model capturing a competition between linear polaronic self-trapping and the self-focusing effects of a soft nonlinear on-site potential. The standard single-humped polaron ceases to exist above a critical value of the coupling strength, closely related to the…

The electrical transport properties of semiconducting AlMgB14 films deposited at room temperature and 573K are reported in this letter. The as-deposited films are amorphous, and they exhibit high n-type electrical conductivity, which is believed to stem from the conduction electrons donated by Al, Mg, and/or Fe impuri…
