A systematic density functional study of the adsorption and dissociation of O 2 on the (001) surface of several transition metal carbides (TCMs; TM = Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Mo) is presented. It is found that O 2 may adsorb molecularly on two different sites with similar adsorption energy. At these sites, either O 2 br…

Abstract A series of wholly aromatic PIs were prepared from a newly synthesized sulfur‐containing diamine and various aromatic dianhydrides via a two‐step polycondensation procedure. Flexible and tough PI films were cast from their soluble PAA precursors. The PIs showed good thermal stability with 5% weight loss tempe…

We show in the case of a high-Peierls-stress Lomer dislocation in an aluminum crystal that the dependence of the kink-pair activation enthalpy on the stress obtained from static nudged elastic band method calculations agrees with that extracted from dynamical, constant strain-rate simulations. In order to perform the…

A resonance condition has been obtained for the position of plasmon peaks of any multipole order in the extinction spectra of silver and gold nanorods, as a function of their material, size, shape, and dielectric environment. The expression has been derived combining electrodynamics simulations with the aid of a nanoa…

Phonon-induced dephasing of electronic transitions in semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (CNT) is investigated by ab initio molecular dynamics. Pure-dephasing is shown to be the source of the photoluminescence linewidths observed experimentally in isolated CNTs at low and room temperatures. In ideal tubes, th…

The self-ordering behavior of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) has been investigated for anodization of aluminum in malonic acid (H 4 C 3 O 4 ) solution. In the present study it is found that a porous oxide layer formed on the surface of aluminum can effectively suppress catastrophic local events (such as breakdown of the…

Volatilization of Sb during the fabrication of CoSb3 by mechanical alloying and then spark plasma sintering has been successfully compensated by adding excess Sb. The average grain size increases apparently with excess Sb content, abnormally grown by about 100 times as the excess Sb is up to 4 at.%. A liquid-phase-rel…

The full three dimensional dispersion of the pi-bands, Fermi velocities and effective masses are measured with angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy and compared to first-principles calculations. The band structure by density-functional theory strongly underestimates the slope of the bands and the trigonal warping…
