CuO nanowires were prepared on the copper foil by thermal oxidation in air. The effect of
annealing temperature and growth time on the morphology of the nanowires is investigated …

Functional surfaces are of paramount engineering importance with applications in non-
wettable components, adhesion, anti-biofouling, static or dynamic optical properties, and …

Exploiting pattern formation–such as that observed in nature–in the context of
micro/nanotechnology could have great benefits if coupled with the traditional top-down …

This work pursues a novel route to functionalizing large surfaces with hybrid nanoparticles. It
also casts new light on the combined use of surface plasmon resonance and X-rays. SPR …

The reduction of C u 2 O islands grown on Cu (100) surfaces through vacuum annealing
was visualized by an in situ ultrahigh vacuum transmission electron microscope. The …

In this work we present a novel route to cover large surfaces with metal and oxide
nanoparticles (NPs) by growing and annealing of metallic bilayers. We have used this …

We report in situ transmission electron microscope dynamic observations of the growth of Cu
2 O islands during oxidation of (001) Cu thin films at∼ 900° C, which show that the oxide …

A kinetic model is developed to elucidate the nucleation rate of oxide islands during the
initial stages of oxidation of metals. Our theoretical analysis shows that the nucleation of …

Abstract Strontium ferrite (SrFe 12 O 19) films on alumina substrate were prepared using DC
sputtering technique. The SrFe 12 O 19 hexaferrite target was sputtered at 100-watt power at …

The initial oxidation behaviors of Cu–50 at.% Au (001) single-crystal thin film were studied
by in situ ultra-high-vacuum transmission electron microscopy to model nano-oxidation of …
