The purpose of this review is to focus from an experimental point-of-view on the new
physical properties of some of the thinnest superconducting films that can be fabricated and …

The rapid development of advanced nanotechnology has continuously changed many
aspects of society. One important nanostructured material, magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) …

Manipulating the Kondo effect by quantum confinement has been achieved by placing
magnetic molecules on silicon-supported nanostructures. The Kondo resonance of …

We report that gold thermally deposited onto n-layer graphenes interacts differently with
these substrates depending on the number layer, indicating the different surface properties …

Patterning ultrathin MoS 2 layers with regular edges or controllable shapes is appealing
since the properties of MoS 2 sheets are sensitive to the edge structures. In this work, we …

An extension of the classical thermodynamics to nanometer scale has been conducted to
elucidate information regarding size dependence of phase transition functions and binary …

After thermal deposition of silver films onto n-layer graphenes, the following results have
been obtained. First, the dependence of silver morphologies on the layer number is studied …

Oxygen annealing of thick MoS2 films results in randomly oriented and controllable
triangular etched shapes, forming pits with uniform etching angles. These etching …

Effects of quantum confinement of electrons in metal nanofilms are analyzed using a
noninteracting electron-gas model. Electrons are confined within a potential well with infinite …

In this work, the fluorination of n-layer graphene is systematically investigated using CHF 3
and CF 4 plasma treatments. The G and 2D Raman peaks of graphene show upshifts after …
