Recent advances in the design and preparation of platinum-based nanostructures and their
applications as electrocatalysts for low-temperature fuel cells are reviewed. Discussions are …

This book covers the experimental and theoretical understanding of surface and thin film
processes. It presents a unique description of surface processes in adsorption and crystal …

When the rare earth mononitrides (RENs) first burst onto the scientific scene in the middle of
last century, there were feverish dreams that their strong magnetic moment would afford a …

We use scanning probe block copolymer lithography in a two-step sequential manner to
explore the deposition of secondary metals on nanoparticle seeds. When single element …

The van der Waals (vdW) bond is traditionally believed to be orders of magnitude lower than
the typical chemical bond (ie, ionic, metallic, or covalent), and hence the effects caused by a …

An unmatched atomistic technique for predictive in silico chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is
reported from an experimental and modeling perspective in the current manuscript. The gas …

The development of parallel synthesis and high-throughput characterization tools offer
scientists a time-efficient and cost-effective solution for accelerating traditional synthesis …

For double MgO-based p-MTJ spin-valves with a top Co2Fe6B2 free layer ex-situ annealed
at 400° C, the insertion of a nanoscale-thickness Fe diffusion barrier between the tungsten …

An advanced three-dimensional mapping approach utilizing reflection high-energy electron
diffraction (RHEED) is introduced. The application of the method is demonstrated in detail by …
