Various one-, two- and three-dimensional Group 14 (C, Si, Ge, Sn, and Pb) element structures at P = 1 atm are studied in this work. As expected, coordination number (CN)--not an unambiguous concept for extended structures--plays an important part in the stability of structures. Carbon not only favors four-coordination…

N-doped ZnO nanowires are synthesized at a relatively low growth temperature of 500 degrees C by directly heating zinc powder using NH(3) as the dopant. The incorporation of N into the ZnO nanowires is experimentally confirmed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectra and photoluminescence measurements. By co…

Abstract Microcellular foaming of reinforced core/shell Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) was carried out by means of supercritical CO 2 in a single‐step process. Samples were produced using a technique based on the saturation of the polymer under high pressure of CO 2 (300 bars, 40°C), and cellular structure was controll…

The superhydrophobicity of rough surfaces owes its existence to heterogeneous wetting. To investigate this phenomenon, density gradients of randomly placed holes and pillars have been fabricated by means of photolithography. On such surfaces, drops can be observed in the Cassie state over the full range of f(1) (fract…
