Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, consisting of single-sheets of layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD), are attracting enormous interest from both fundamental science and technology. Monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), a typical example from ...
Structural components used in civil engineering applications are often subjected to compressive loads. Unlike the tensile strength of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials, their compressive strength is resin-dominated, exhibiting lower values and more ...
Magnetotransmission spectroscopy was employed to study the valley Zeeman effect in large area monolayer MoS2 and MoSe2. The extracted values of the valley g factors for both A and B excitons were found to be similar with g(v) similar or equal to -4.5. The ...
After 17 and 15years of use, respectively, a detailed inspection of a pedestrian bridge and a 5-story building structure composed of partly adhesively bonded pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) profiles was conducted accompanied by full-scale s ...
The production of reactivated cementitious materials is an option for the recycling of hydrated-cement-rich fines discarded during recycled aggregate production. Reactivation is based on a thermal process where calcium silicate hydrates present in the fine ...
The paper focuses on the numerical investigation of SentryGlas®(SG)-laminated reinforced glass beams. This structural typology, rather innovative and currently under investigation, consists of a composite section in which the typical brittle behaviour of g ...
Atomically thin molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) offers potential for advanced devices and an alternative to graphene due to its unique electronic and optical properties. The temperature-dependent Raman spectra of exfoliated, monolayer MoS2 in the range of 100- ...
The material characterization of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC), which is required for its implementation in design codes, should be based on nominal properties that describe its post-cracking strength in tension. In the case of brittle and quasi-b ...
In this paper, a two-dimensional nanometer scale tip-plate discharge model has been employed to study nanoscale electrical discharge in atmospheric conditions. The field strength distributions in a nanometer scale tip-to-plate electrode arrangement were ca ...
The influence of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) on the structure and mechanical properties of polyamide 12 (PA12) fibers was investigated. As seen from wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis the crystallinity index increases with ...
