AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
Organic semiconductors are promising materials for future electronic and electroluminescence applications. A detailed understanding of organic layers and nano-sized crystals down to single molecules can address fundamental questions of contacting organic s ...
The morphology, stability and reactivity of nanometre-sized particles (Au, Pt) is investigated on three different supports. Gold nanoparticles with a diameter comprised between 4 and 6nm are stabilized in nanosized pits of well defined depth in highly orie ...
TiO2 modified polyester photocatalysts were prepared by immersion. drying and curing of the polyester in TiO2 containing suspensions under different experimental conditions. The structure of TiO2 layers on the polyester varied according to the time of imme ...
The fibrous PX-phase of lead titanate (PT), which can be synthesized by a hydrothermal method, has been studied to clarify its structural aspects on the atomic level. By combining synchrotron X-ray diffraction and electron microscope analysis with a first- ...
We combine low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and measurements of the catalytic activity to establish a structure-reactivity correlation for the CO oxidation on Pt nanoclusters on rutile TiO2(110)-(1 x 1). Annealing of the clusters to 1100 K lea ...
The use of zeolites for catalytic reactions is a field in continuous development. Since it was demonstrated that metal-zeolites are efficient catalysts for NOx abatement, decomposition of nitrous oxide (N2O) over Fe-containing zeolites has attracted great ...
The vibrational spectrum of a tunneling junction on a clean Cu(111) surface has been characterized by vibrational density of states calculations and inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy technique. We demonstrate that the achieved spectrum consists not ...
The present review on light emission stimulated by electrons tunneling inelastically through a junction formed by a sample and a tip of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) focusses on the most relevant results obtained for a variety of systems, including ...
This paper presents a simple, cost-effective and robust atomic force microscope (AFM), which has been purposely designed and built for use as a teaching aid in undergraduate controls labs. The guiding design principle is to have all components be open and ...
We report the first use of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) optical fiber-made probes for scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). The sharp tips were prepared by chemical etching of the fibers in ethyl acetate, and the probes were prepared by proper gl ...
