The notion of asymmetrical Hydrogen Bond (O: HO) Cooperativity and Polarizability (HBCP)
has enabled exploration of the core physics behind irregularities of water and ice …

This report deals with the mechanism behind the unusual behavior of nanostructures in
mechanical strength, thermal stability, acoustics (lattice dynamics), photonics, electronics …

The size-and shape-dependent band gap energy of semiconductor compound
nanomaterials (SCNs) is formulated. The model theory is based on the cohesive energy of …

We report a size dependence of Young's modulus in [0001] oriented ZnO nanowires (NWs)
with diameters ranging from 17 to 550 nm for the first time. The measured modulus for NWs …

Current oxide nanomaterials knowledge to draw from and build on Synthesis, Properties,
and Applications of Oxide Nanomaterials summarizes the existing knowledge in oxide …

In present work, a superlubricity phenomenon of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) was found under
ambient conditions. An ultralow friction coefficient of about 0.004 between glass/Si3N4 and …

We present recent progress in understanding the anomalous behavior of water ice under
mechanical compression, thermal excitation, and molecular undercoordination (with fewer …

As a bridge spanning the gap between the atomistic level and its bulk counterpart,
nanoscaled systems have recently become an active area of research in materials science …

With the miniaturization of a solid, effects of surface strain and quantum trapping become
increasingly important in determining its properties. As a result, low-dimensional materials …

In this section, we discuss the following:• Bond formation, relaxation, and the associated
energetics, entrapment, localization, and polarization of electrons mediate the performance …
