This thesis presents an investigation aimed at the understanding of the effect of interfacial energy anisotropy on growth morphologies in Al-Zn alloys. Most low alloyed metals form dendritic structures that grow along directions that correspond to low inde ...
The concentrations of 11 crustal and anthropogenic trace metals (Li, Al, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb) were measured from 2006 to 2008 in the atmospheric aerosol at a northwestern Mediterranean coast (station of Cap Ferrat, situated on the southeaster ...
Formation energies and charge transition levels of amphoteric defects in GaAs giving rise to Fermi-level pinning are calculated with hybrid functionals. The hybrid functional results indicate that previously identified defects involving the bistable nature ...
The processes that lead to the fourfold variation in arc-averaged compositions of mafic arc iavas remain controversial. Control by the mantle-wedge thermal structure is supported by chemical correlations with the thickness of the underlying arc crust(1-3), ...
Solvated radicals play an important role in many areas of chemistry, but to date, the nature of their interactions with polar solvent molecules lacks chemical interpretation. We present a computational quantum chemical analysis of the binding motives of bi ...
High resolution amplitude and phase of light fields emerging from a 2-μm-period amplitude grating are measured for different wavelengths. The amplitude gratings lead to highly periodic patterns caused by the Talbot effect. Such patterns reach periodicities ...
HOBr, formed via oxidation of bromide by free available chlorine (FAC), is frequently assumed to be the sole species responsible for generating brominated disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Our studies reveal that BrCl, Br-2, BrOCl, and Br2O can also serve as ...
NEMS (Nanoelectromechanical Devices) have been of particular interest in recent years due to a growing set of new applications they offer in domains such as sensitive charge detection, mass sensing and biological imaging. Their size, being reduced down to ...
Zinc oxides (ZnO) nanowires were successfully deposited on plastic low-power micro-hotplates using the thermal oxidation technique. Metallic zinc layer was deposited on the sensing transducer by RF magnetron sputtering and then oxidized in a controlled atm ...
We present a systematic first-principles study of the equilibrium bond lengths, harmonic frequencies, dissociation energies, ground state symmetries, and spin state splittings of 22 diatomic molecules comprised of a first-row 3d transition-metal and a main ...
