We present a study of the thermodynamic and physical properties of Tl(5)Te(3), BiTl(9)Te(6), and SbTl(9)Te(6) compounds by means of density functional theory based calculations. The optimized lattice constants of the compounds are in good agreement with the experimental data. The electronic density of states and band…

Despite the many processes developed for carbon nanotube synthesis, few if any of these control the carbon nanotube diameter and length simultaneously. Here, we report a process whereby we synthesize vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays (VA-CNT) using water-assisted chemical vapor deposition from solution process…

Abstract The hydrophilicity of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) micropowders was easily achieved by modifying the surface with thin polydopamine(Pdop) layer deposited through spontaneous oxidative polymerization of dopamine. Compared with the pure PTFE, the Pdop modified PTFE(PTFE@Pdop) possesses excellent hydrophilic p…

Plasma electrolytic nitrocarburizing (PEN/C) was applied to the surface of carbon steel under the boiling condition of saturated urea electrolyte. In addition to the general effect of the bath temperature, different applied voltages and processing times were also considered in this new process. Optical and scanning el…

We investigate, at a density functional level, the electric characteristics of 18 complexes of cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) and cobalt tetraaminephthalocyanine (CoTAPc) adsorbed on graphene functionalized with CO 2 – or CO moieties. Three models of graphene molecules are used, pristine, defect, and vacancy, leading to…

We present a new model and method for the Monte Carlo simulation of silica polymerization in aqueous solution. We focus on the idea that silica structures are built from corner sharing tetrahedra and these tetrahedra are the basic units of the model. Rather than use a reactive force field, the assembly of tetrahedral…

We report the thermodynamic measurement of the enthalpy released during the aging of supported films of a molecular glass former, toluene, at temperatures well below the glass transition temperature. By using microfabricated devices with very short equilibration times (below 1 s), we evidence a remarkable variation of…

Thermal rectification is a phenomenon in which transport is preferred in one direction over the opposite. Although observations of thermal rectification have been elusive, it could be useful in many applications such as thermal management of electronics and improvement of thermoelectric devices. The current work explo…

We study the condition for optimizing superconductivity in the iron pnictides from the lattice structure point of view. Studying the band structure of the hypothetical lattice structure of LaFeAsO, the hole Fermi-surface multiplicity is found to be maximized around the Fe-As-Fe bond angle regime where the arsenic atom…
