Atom-surface van der Waals potentials of topological insulators and semimetals from scattering measurements

Davide Campi

The phenomenology of resonant scattering has been known since the earliest experiments upon scattering of atomic beams from surfaces and is a means of obtaining experimental information about the fundamentals of weak adsorption systems in the van der Waals ...

Stretchable and Soft Electroadhesion Using Liquid‐Metal Subsurface Microelectrodes

Dario Floreano, Yegor Piskarev, Jun Shintake, Michael Dickey

Electroadhesion is an attractive mechanism to electrically modulate adhesion to surfaces. Electroadhesion arises from the interaction of electric fields with conductive or dielectric materials. Electroadhesion devices consist of in-plane, interdigitated el ...

Review of fatigue of bulk structural adhesives and thick adhesive joints

Anastasios Vassilopoulos

Fatigue of structural adhesives has been investigated through joints and a little number of works investigate bulk adhesive behaviour itself. Aerospace and automotive engineering focuses more on joint configuration studies, which are correlated with practi ...

Depletion Effect-mediated Association of Carbon Nanotube-Polymer Composites and Their Application as Inexpensive Electrode Support Materials

Paul Joseph Dyson, Zhangjun Huang

The association between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and polymers to afford functional composites has been attributed to enthalpic interactions, neglecting the entropic depletion effect, in which bound solvents are released during the association process. Here, ...

Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells of Single Crystal Hybrid Halide Perovskite with Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes Contacts

László Forró, Endre Horvath, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Xavier François Mettan, Bálint Náfrádi, Márton Kollár, Pavao Roko Andricevic, Tonko Garma

Based on the reported ion migration under an electric field in hybrid lead halide perovskites we have developed a bright, light-emitting electrochemical cell with CH3NH3PbBr3 single crystals directly grown on vertically aligned carbon nanotube forests as c ...

Electron Microscopy Investigation of Coated Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes Prepared by Reactive Ball Milling

László Forró, Endre Horvath, Jin Won Seo, Klara Hernadi

Homogeneous and stable inorganic coating of SiO2, Al2O3 and TiO2 was obtained on the surface of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) by mechanically mixing them with precursor compounds in a planetary ball mill and by subsequent hydrolysis. Detailed studies ...

Three-Dimensionally Enlarged Photoelectrodes by a Protogenetic Inclusion of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes into CH3NH3PbBr3 Single Crystals

László Forró, Endre Horvath, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Xavier François Mettan, Bálint Náfrádi, Márton Kollár, Pavao Roko Andricevic, Klara Hernadi

We demonstrate that single crystals of methylammonium lead bromide (MAPbBr(3)) could be grown directly on vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) forests. The fast-growing MAPbBr3 single crystals engulfed the protogenetic inclusions in the form of indiv ...
