To facilitate future novel devices incorporating rare earth metal films and III-V semiconductors on Si substrates, this study investigates the mechanisms of growth via molecular beam epitaxy of gadolinium (Gd) on aluminum nitride (AlN) by determining...
Contemporary chemical sensing research is rapidly growing, leading to the development of new technologies for applications in almost all areas, including environmental monitoring, disease diagnostics and food quality control, among others [...]
This investigation is motivated by the numerous advantages of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) for the fabrication of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and composite coatings and the various applications of such coatings. It is demonstrated that gallic...
The electrical discharge machine (EDM) has been one of the most widely used non-traditional machines in recent decades, primarily used for machining hard materials into various complex shapes and different sizes and, nowadays, used for surface modifi...
The mechanism of adsorption of p-cresol over activated carbon adsorbent and the specific role of oxygen functional groups on cresol adsorption were studied using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. All the energy calculations and geometry o...
Activated carbons play an essential role in developing new electrodes for renewable energy devices due to their electrochemical and physical properties. They have been the subject of much research due to their prominent surface areas, porosity, light...
Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of a model of thin film heteroepitaxy are performed to investigate the effects of the deposition temperature in the initial growth stages. Broad ranges of the rates of surface processes are used to model materials with...
The adsorption of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) on anatase (101) and rutile (110) TiO2 surfaces has been studied using synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy techniques. P...
In this work, we studied dispersion correction, adsorption and substitution of chalcogen dopants (O, S, Se and Te) on the surface of graphene using density functional theory. The results reveal that a single oxygen atom is more preferred for adsorpti...
