Two-dimensional materials beyond graphene are attracting much attention. Recently
discovered 2D carbides and nitrides (MXenes) have shown very attractive electrical and …

Abstract The kinetic Monte Carlo method and its variants are powerful tools for modeling
materials at the mesoscale, meaning at length and time scales in between the atomic and …

Despite their favorable high energy density and potential for CO2 recycling, Na‐CO2
batteries have been held back by limitations in cycling capability, stemming from the …

In this study a direct comparison between lattice spacings predicted by molecular dynamics
(MD) simulations and values measured from sputtered Cu–Ta films by X-ray diffraction …

Ta barrier layers are commonly used in microelectronic devices to prevent direct Cu-Si
contact. To better understand the deposition mechanism of Cu seed layers on Ta barriers …

Co-sputtering from confocal sources is a widespread technique for the production of thin film
alloys. In this process the substrate is rotated to ensure that the films are homogeneous in …

The deposition growth and annealing behaviors of Cu atoms onto Cu (001) are investigated
in atomic scale by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The results indicate that the film …

As a representative of immiscible alloy systems, the Cu-Ta system was the research topic
because of its potential application in industry, military and defense fields. In this study, an …

This work presents a length-scale induced anomalous plastic deformation of Cu/Ta
multilayers with individual layer thickness (h) varying from 1 nm to 100 nm. The hardness …

Copper (Cu) interconnections have been widely used in advanced electronic packaging due
to their outstanding thermal and electric properties. Preparing a smooth and uniform Cu …
