ABSTRACTComputer simulations of III-V molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) show that surface reconstruction induced modulation of kinetic rates could give rise to ordering in alloys. Results are also presented for the possible influence of an external ion beam in achieving low temperature epitaxy as well as smoother growth front under usual conditions.
The coating of nanoparticles (NPs) with biodegradable ligands has been considered an efficient way to improve the biocompatibility of NPs and to decrease their biopersistence. However, the role of ligand...
The peculiar role of surface oxygen anions and surface reconstruction in Co-free layered Li[Li0.2Ni0.2Mn0.6]O2 is discovered by dilute phosphoric acid and thermal treatments.
This paper discusses the catalytic activity of ZnO/CuO/nanographene platelets composites under visible light and ultrasound irradiation separately. The ZnO/CuO/nanographene platelets composites were synthesized using a sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction and nitrogen adsorption spectroscopy were employed to investigate the structural and surface area of the catalyst. The catalytic activity results showed that the presence of nanographene platelets in ZnO/CuO nanocomposites improved its efficiency in degrading methylene blue. A scavenger method was also used to understand the role of charged carriers and the active radical involved in the catalytic activity.
