Thermoresponsive PIPAAm-brush-grafted glass beads are prepared through siATRP and their physicochemical properties are characterized by micro-nitrogen analysis, XPS, and contact angle measurements. The amount of grafted PIPAAm on glass bead surfaces can be controlled by varying the ATRP reaction time, leading to a mod…

An adapted simulation method is used to systematically study grain boundary motion at velocities and driving forces across more than five orders of magnitude. This analysis reveals that grain boundary migration can occur in two modes, depending upon the temperature ($T$) and applied driving force ($P$). At low $P$ and…

CO dissociation: Three most probable pathways to CO dissociation on the Fe (100) surface exist: a) direct, CO→C+O (-) and H-assisted b) H+CO↔HCO→CH+O (-) or c) CO+H↔COH→C+OH (-). Under high hydrogen pressure conditions and highly occupied surfaces the formation of HCO and subsequent dissociation to CH+O may at best co…

A continuum theory is formulated to describe dislocations within graphene. The bending modes and defect formation energies predicted by the theory are in good agreement with atomic scale total energy calculations. Dislocations induce out-of-plane buckling that screens their strain fields and enables the identification…

The Cr/SiO 2 system is investigated using periodic DFT. The model represents the amorphous character of the silica surface and allows the investigation of the effect of hydration on the Cr(VI) monomers. First, the geometry and energetics are discussed and compared with experimental data. The phase diagram plotted from…

In this paper, we propose a new method for an online electric parameters identification of an induction motor (IM). This method is carried out in the IM standstill configuration and uses adaptive linear neuron (ADALINE) networks. In order to simplify the identification process, the IM model is approximated by two firs…

Aromatic amino acids strongly promote cross-β amyloid formation; whether the amyloidogenicity of aromatic residues is due to high hydrophobicity and β-sheet propensity or formation of stabilizing π-π interactions has been debated. To clarify the role of aromatic residues on amyloid formation, the islet amyloid polypep…

The decoherence of quantum objects is a critical issue in quantum science and technology. It is generally believed that stronger noise causes faster decoherence. Strikingly, recent theoretical work suggests that under certain conditions, the opposite is true for spins in quantum baths. Here we report an experimental o…
