Graphene–metal interface as one of the interesting graphene-based objects attracts much
attention from both application and fundamental science points of view. This paper gives a …

Graphene, one of the most promising two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, has gained
substantial attention in several areas of materials science. Due to its unique mechanical …

Using density functional theory calculations with van der Waals corrections, we investigated
how the interlayer orientation affects the structure and electronic properties of MoS 2 …

Carbon interaction with transition metal (TM) surfaces is a relevant topic in heterogeneous
catalysis, either for its poisoning capability, for the recently attributed promoter role when …

We propose a hybrid variant of the level-based learning swarm optimizer (LLSO) for solving
large-scale portfolio optimization problems. This solver fills the gap due to the inadequacy of …

The interest in understanding and controlling the properties of two-dimensional materials
(2DMs) has fostered in the last years a signficant and multidisciplinary research effort …

C‐saturated Pd0 nanoparticles with an extended phase boundary to ZrO2 evolve from a
Pd0Zr0 precatalyst under CH4 dry reforming conditions. This highly active catalyst state …

The lateral incorporation of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) onto a substrate
surface creates in-plane h-BN/graphene heterostructures, which have promising …

Using in situ variable-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (300–673 K) during
chemical vapor deposition of two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) on Pd (111) …

We report on a phenomenon, where thin films sputter-deposited on single-crystalline Al2O3
(0001) substrates exposed to borazine─ a precursor commonly used for the synthesis of …
