We present a method to utilize interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) to retrieve information about the mean geometric structures of heteronuclear clusters. It is based on observation and modelling of competing ICD channels, which involve the same initial vacancy, but energetically different final states with vacancies in…

This article deals with the investigation of the effect of carbon nanotube (CNT) waviness on the effective thermal conductivities of a novel fuzzy fiber-reinforced composite (FFRC). The distinctive feature of the construction of this novel FFRC is that wavy CNTs are radially grown on the circumferential surfaces of th…

Dimethoxybenzitripyrranes were prepared in excellent yields by reacting benzene dicarbinols with BF3·Et2O and excess pyrrole in refluxing 1,2-dichloroethane. Reaction with a pyrrole dialdehyde in the presence of TFA, followed by oxidation with DDQ, afforded good yields of meso-diphenyldimethoxybenziporphyrins. These d…

An experimental and theoretical study of p-type Ag-doped Mg2Sn and Mg2Sn1-xSix (x = 0.05, 0.1) is presented. Band structure calculations show that behavior of Ag in Mg2Sn depends on the site it occupies. Based on Bloch spectral functions and density of states calculations, we show that if Ag substitutes for Sn, it is…

Blistering of tungsten (W) surfaces due to deuterium (D) implantation was investigated by a sequence of exposures at two different temperatures—230 and 450 K—and by the reversed sequence. A single exposure at 230 K leads to a high areal density of small dome-shaped blisters (up to 3 µ m in diameter) together with much…

The coverage-dependent intercalation of oxygen, CO, hydrogen, alkali metals, and halogens between graphene and Ir(111) is investigated using density functional theory with van der Waals corrections. By comparing adsorption on clean Ir to intercalation we show that the presence of the graphene layer shifts the stabilit…

We propose a metal device containing circular slits to generate a terahertz (THz) orbital angular momentum beam with numerical simulations. The estimation of the polarization extinction ratio is above 20 dB over the bandwidth ranging from 0.3 to 3 THz, and a mode purity of TC = 1 or -1 is close to 1 over a wide bandwi…

This paper reports the development of a multimodal therapy nanoplatform based on gold nanostars (Au NS) as core particles. These NS were functionalized with the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOXO), which was conjugated to the NS surface by means of a cleavable heterobifunctional cross-linker (sulfo-LC-SPDP) to al…

We present a systematic evaluation of the effects of polarization switchability on surface structure and stoichiometry in BaTiO3 and PbTiO3 ferroelectric oxides. We show that charge passivation, mostly by ionic surface reconstructions, is the driving force for the stability of the surfaces, which suggests that varying…
