We use a noncontact atomic force microscope in the qPlus configuration to investigate the structure and influence of defects on the Si(100) surface. By applying millivolt biases, simultaneous tunnel current data is acquired, ...

We examine the usefulness of the unitarity conditions in a left-right symmetric model which can translate into giving a stronger constraint on the model parameters together with the criteria derived from vacuum stability ...

Solvent-free all-solid-state supercapacitors have recently received attention. Despite their highly specific capacitance, they suffer issues related to the solid–solid interface that degrade their performance during prolonged ...

Polar solvation dynamics of water sequestered inside Aerosol OT (AOT) reverse micelles have been investigated as a function of the surfactant countercation, specifically replacing for and For Ca-AOT reverse micelles, the ...

Fresh porous silicon (PS) samples show photoluminescence (PL) in visible. After a short dip in water, the PL peak shifts towards blue. However, a short dipping of PS in toluene and pentane does not change PL. The intensity ...

The nucleation of silicon nitride films on Si(111) using a radio frequency nitrogen plasma source has been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy. The initial nucleation of Si3N4 is always observed at the steps, ...

The present study reports insight into electronic structure and stability of EuGen (n = 1–20) nanoclusters under the framework of density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation. To understand the ...

The present study reports the investigation of the electronic structure and stability of TiMgn (n = 1–12) nanoclusters in the framework of the linear combination of atomic orbital density functional theory (DFT) together ...

We examined the hydrogen storage properties of Ti-doped 2D-Beryllonitrene (2D-BeN4) using Density Functional Theory (DFT). Bader charge analysis revealed charge transfer from titanium to BeN4 and H2 molecules. TiBeN4 and ...

Interactions of different species of 6-methoxyquinoline (6MQ) with anionic micelles have been studied at different pre-micellar, micellar and post-micellar concentrations using steady state, time resolved fluorescence and ...
