Single-crystalline metallic nanowires, Ni, Ag, and Zn, were successfully fabricated using an anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) template by electro-deposition. The single-crystalline Ni and Ag nanowires showed face-centred cubic (fcc) structure with a preferred orientation along the [220] direction. Zn nanowires with hexago…

Abstract Silica nanoparticles having different sizes were obtained by the sol‐gel process and characterized. The prepared nanoparticles were subsequently used as reinforcing fillers to prepare epoxy‐based composites with a silica content ranging from 1 to 5 wt %. SEM analysis and tensile tests carried out on the silic…

We study the coarsening dynamics of two-dimensional hexagonal patterns formed by single microdomain layers of block copolymers, using numerical simulations. Our study is focused on the temporal evolution of the orientational correlation length, the interactions between topological defects, and the mechanisms of coarse…

▪ Abstract We review here the theory of the early stages of oxidation of the (110) surface of Ni 1−x Al x , based on ab initio calculations using a plane-wave pseudopotential method. The clean surface and several oxidized surfaces have been investigated, with oxygen coverages up to 2ML of oxygen (1ML = 3 O atoms per 2…

The physics of organic semiconductors is dominated by the effects of energetic disorder. We show that image forces reduce the electrostatic component of the total energetic disorder near an interface with a metal electrode. Typically, the variance of energetic disorder is dramatically reduced at the first few layers o…

The amplitude of the roughness-induced energetic disorder at the metal/organic interface is calculated. It was found that for moderately rough electrodes, the correction to the electrostatic image potential at the charge location is small. For this reason, roughness-induced energetic disorder cannot noticeably affect…

With the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model involving the effects of solvent polarization and external electric field, we show that bipolaron maybe more stable than two polarons when a dication induced into a DNA stack. Under the high electric field, the dication can move quite a long distance through the DNA by a series of h…

Performance and characteristics of a band-pass photon detector using acetone gas and CaF_2 window (acetone/CaF_2) have been studied and compared with an ethanol/MgF_2 detector. The optimal operating conditions are found to be 4 mbar acetone pressure and 745+/-20 V anode voltage. The count rate obtained by us is about…
