Melting in finite size systems is an interesting but complex phenomenon. Many factors affect melting and owing to their interdependencies it is a challenging task to rationalize their roles in the phase transition. In this work, we demonstrate how structural motif of the ground state influences melting transition in s…

We propose a method to utilize colloidal quantum dots (QDs) as a swept light source for hyperspectral microscopy. The use of QD allows for uniform multicolor emission which covers visible-NIR wavelengths. We used 8 colors of CdSe/ZnS and CdTe/ZnS colloidal quantum dots with the peak emission wavelengths from 520 nm to…

The niobized layer was formed on Q235 low-carbon steel by double-glow plasma surface niobizing to improve its wear resistance. The microstructure, phase composition, and microhardness were determined. The friction and wear properties of the niobized samples and the untreated alloys were tested on a ball-on-disk tribom…
