We investigate molecular sensitization of the nonpolar SiC(110) surface by means of density functional simulations. We focus on aromatic fragments up to a full porphyrin molecule, in view of potential application in biosensors and devices. Our results reveal a relatively low affinity between aromatic rings and the sur…

We discovered a chiral behavior of Friedel oscillations (FOs), which have both triangular symmetry and inverse chirality from chiral charge-density waves (CDWs) in 1T-TiSe${}_{2}$ by using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Surprisingly, the existence of FOs with the opposite chirality to the underlying CDWs suggest…

Abstract Measured polarization curves were used in a BEM model of the galvanic corrosion of the Mg alloy AZ31B. The AZ31B galvanostatic anodic polarization curves indicated: (i) the existence of the uni‐positive Mg + ion, (ii) some hydrogen dissolved in the AZ31B metal, and (iii) self corrosion was more important than…

There are several methods of producing open porous polymer structures for medical use. However, very few are applicable to industries and are therefore limited to both number of samples and batch variations. This study presents an industrial microcellular injection molding process, known as MuCell® technology, which w…

Aerosil silica nanoparticles dispersed in a liquid crystal (LC) possess the interesting property of keeping memory of an electric- or magnetic-field-induced orientation. Two types of memory have been identified: thermally erasable memory arising from the pinning of defect lines versus a "permanent" memory where the or…
