We report scanning tunneling microscopy observations on the formation of 2D Co-based coordination compounds on the reconstructed Au(111) surface. Preorganized arrays of Co bilayer islands are shown to be local reaction sites, which are consumed in the form ...
The attention of the fusion magnet specialists has been drawn in the last years to the volt-ampere characteristic (VAC) of the large cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC), as early voltage was observed in conductor and model coil tests, far away from the expe ...
We here present an evaluation of the carrier performance of nanoparticles that are biofunctional, i.e. derivatized to provide a controlled biological activity, and environmentally responsive, since they respond to the presence of oxidants. In particular, w ...
The electronic properties of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) relax following stretched exponentials. This phenomenon was explained in the past by dispersive hydrogen diffusion, or by retrapping included hydrogen motion. In this letter, the authors ...
Quantum dots (QDs) have a potential for application in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), due to their high saturation power related to the low differential gain, fast gain recovery and wide gain spectrum compared to quantum wells. Besides all advant ...
The glass transition temperature (Tg) of polymer nanostructures was measured using a technique based on synchrotron x-ray diffraction from periodic grating structures. Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanostructures consisting of 1:1 lines:spaces with a 10 ...
We have studied the liquid surface of sodium with extensive ab initio molecular dynamics simulations based on ensemble density-functional theory. We find clear evidence of layering in the direction perpendicular to the surface that persists to temperatures ...
The effect of the bulk microstructure (grain size distribution, grain boundary composition on the oxygen transport properties of La0.5Sr0.5FeO3membranes was investigated. For this purpose, samples with different microstruct ...
We present a study of the C-H and C-N vibrational modes of acetonitrile molecules at the interface between the bulk liquid and a gold film using both time and frequency domain femtosecond sum frequency generation. Acetonitrile is adsorbed on the gold surfa ...
The reactive liquid infiltration (RLI) technique, applied to-the MgB2 material, has allowed us to obtain either bulk or wire samples of good transport properties. The evaluation of the voltage-current characteristics, V-I-n, for typical samples, measured b ...
