Interstitial sodium and lithium do** effects on the electronic and mechanical properties of silicon nanowires: a DFT study
In this work, we present a theoretical study of the electronic band structure and the Young’s modulus of hydrogen-passivated silicon nanowires (H-SiNWs), grown along the [110] crystallographic direction, as a ...

Sputtering of the target surface by Cs+ ions: Steady-state concentration of implanted cesium and emission of CsM+ cluster ions
Experimental data for the variation of the work function on the Si and GaAs semiconductor surfaces irradiated by cesium ions are presented. The formation mechanism of CsM+ cluster ions (M is the analyte) is consi...

Structural and electronic properties of PtPd and PtNi nanoalloys
The lowest-energy structures of binary (PtPd)n, (PtNi)m, (PtNi3)s, and (Pt3Ni)s nanoclusters, with n=2–28, m=2–20, and s=4–6, modeled by the many-body Gupta potential, were obtained by using a genetic-symbiotic a...

Density functional study of the cysteine adsorption on Au nanoclusters
The adsorption of the cysteine amino acid (H–SCβH2–CαH–NH2–COOH) on the Au55 cluster is investigated through density functional theory calculations. Two isomers, with icosahedral (Ih) and chiral (C1) geometries, ...

Scale Control by Using a New Non-Phosphorus, Environmentally Friendly Scale Inhibitor
A new non-phosphorus scale inhibitor that prevents different types of scales under industrial process conditions has been developed. The new compound can be applied to control calcium carbonate scale in the co...
