Electron Beam Induced Deposition (EBID) allows deposition of three-dimensional micro- and nano-structures of conductive and insulating materials on a wide range of substrates. The process is based on the decomposition of molecules of a pre-selected precurs ...
Direct numerical simulation of the flow in a lid-driven cubical cavity has been carried out at a Reynolds number above 10 000. Both transient and steady-in-the-mean states of the flow posses long time scales requiring long integration times. A large fracti ...
We have found evidence that water plugs in hydrophilic nanochannels can be at significant negative pressure due to tensile capillary forces. The negative pressure of water plugs in nanochannels induces bending of the thin channel capping layer, which resul ...
We establish a relationship between optimization of the diversity product for two-antenna diagonal space-time codes and the elementary theory of continued fractions ...
New experimental results are reported on state-dependent steric effects in NO-Ar inelastic scattering. The NO molecules are selected in the J = 1/2(-) l-doublet state of the electronic ground state and oriented relative to the incident Ar atoms. The steric ...
Due to imperfect surfaces of most cuprate samples, almost all photoemission studies in the past decade were performed on Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x, even though a large fraction of other studies and electronic applications was reported for YBa2Cu3O7-delta (YBCO) fami ...
We studied the deposition of Au, In, Ag, and Al overlayers onto clean-cleaved GaTe(001) surfaces at room temperature by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Gold and In overlayers did not produce evidence of chemical reactions, and neither with cation nor ani ...
Aluminum oxidation states in stoichiometric or substoichiometric configuration are studied by core level photoemission spectroscopy on different substrates (SiO2, graphite). They are compared with recent results reported for the interface Si-Al-n+O. Three ...
Vasomotion has been studied on segments of rat mesenteric and femoral arteries perfused in vitro. We have investigated 1) the effect of perfusion flow on the characteristics of vasomotion and 2) the nature and patterns of vasomotion. We have found that per ...
Using a first-principles approach, we calculate Si 2p core-level shifts for spherosiloxane H8Si8O12 clusters chemisorbed on Si(001). A chemisorption mechanism that preserves the cage structure of the clusters is assumed. The resulting relaxed surface struc ...
