A generic expression is derived for the dynamical response function of metal films, with conductivity tensors as the only input. The semi-classical model is then used to provide an analytical expression for the conductivity tensor, thus establishing...

Polystyrene has limited adhesivity to inorganic materials such as metals. However, the inorganic surface can be treated to enhance bonding to energetically stable polystyrene. This concept is verified in this paper with organosilane aminopropyltrieth...

This article reports the pressure-dependent crystal radii of Mg, Si, Ge, Be, Fe, Ca, Sr, Ba, Al, Ti, Li, Na, K, Cs, and of some rare earths, that is: the major Earth mantle elements, important minor, and some trace elements. Pressure dependencies of...

Photosensitive glasses for radiation-induced 3D microstructuring, due to their optical transparency and thermal, mechanical, and chemical resistance, enable the use of new strategies for numerous microscale applications, ranging from optics to biomed...

The metal–insulator transition induced by the gate electric field in the charge order phase of the $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)${}_2$I${}_3$ single-crystal field-effect transistor (FET) structure was clearly observed near the phase transition temperature...

Iron-containing nickel sulfides, selenides, and sulfoselenides were synthesized via a simple two-step hydrothermal reaction (temperature ≤ 160 °C) for their application as electrocatalysts in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in an alkaline...

Several ternary rare-earth metals containing titanium aluminum intermetallics in the RE₂TiAl₃ series (RE = Y, Gd–Lu) have been synthesized from the elements using arc-melting techniques. All compounds crystallize in the trigonal crystal system...

This study investigated the allowability of materials in the laser powder melting process, with a focus on powder mixing as a means of adjusting the material composition quickly and cost-effectively. By mixing different powders, a desired alloy can b...
