Graphene provides many advantages for controlling the electronic structure of adatoms and other adsorbates via gating. Using the projected density of states and charge density obtained from first-principles density-functional periodic supercell calculations, we investigate the possibility of performing ``alchemy'' of…

We present an investigation of optically active near-surface defects in sputtered Al-doped ZnO films using scanning tunneling microscope cathodoluminescence (STM-CL). STM-CL maps suggest that the optically active sites are distributed randomly across the surface and do not correlate with the granular topography. In st…

Abstract The corrosion resistance of Ti–Mo (5, 10, 15 and 25 wt% molybdenum) alloys in 5–25% sulphuric acid was evaluated. The Ti–Mo alloys offered a better corrosion resistance than commercially pure titanium (CP‐Ti). The higher impedance values, higher phase angle maximum, ability to reach the phase angle maximum at…

ZnO nanowires were investigated at high pressures of up to 27 GPa in situ in a diamond anvil cell using synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Upon compression, a wurtzite-to-rocksalt phase transformation was observed, but both the onset and the completion pressures of this transformation were enhanced compared with all previ…

Propagation of wedge-shaped needle domains in LaAlO3 is driven mechanically and the change of wall shapes is observed. Twin walls remain smooth, whereas the one-dimensional front line of the needle tip shows “wiggles” when propagating through defect fields. The front line becomes highly distorted during approach to, o…
