Anharmonic quantum thermal transport across a van der Waals interface
We investigate the anharmonic phonon scattering across a weakly interacting interface by develo** a quantum mechanics-based theory. We find that the contribution from anharmonic three-phonon scatterings to i...

Construction of TiO2-pillared multilayer graphene nanocomposites as efficient photocatalysts for ciprofloxacin degradation
We successfully constructed TiO2-pillared multilayer graphene nanocomposites (T-MLGs) via a facile method as follows: dodecanediamine pre-pillaring, ion exchange (Ti4+ pillaring), and interlayer in-situ formation...

Open AccessEPIC STAR: a reliable and efficient approach for phonon- and impurity-limited charge transport calculations
A computationally efficient first-principles approach to predict intrinsic semiconductor charge transport properties is proposed. By using a generalized Eliashberg function for short-range electron–phonon scat...

Transport of biomolecules in asymmetric nanofilter arrays
We propose a theoretical model for describing the electric-field-driven migration of rod-like biomolecules in nanofilters comprising a periodic array of shallow passages connecting deep wells. The electrophore...

Why L12 intermetallics are brittle and how to make them ductile
Origins of the intrinsic and extrinsic brittleness of L12 intermetallics are analyzed. It is shown that the intrinsic behavior is determined by the dislocation process in the alloy, and that the extrinsic behavio...

Chemisorption of Moisture-Induced Hydrogen and the Embrittlement Effects in Transition Metal Aluminides
Based on simple thermodynamic models free energies of chemisorption of water vapor in transition metal aluminides and enthalpies and entropies of formation of solid solutions of hydrogen in the aluminides are ...

Interfacial Cohesion Control by Solute Segregation
Interfacial cohesion is determined by the cohesive energy of the interface. Knowing the segregation energies of solute in the interface and on the adjoining free surfaces and mobilities of segregant atoms, the...

The Directionality of Interfacial Cracking in Bimaterials
Directionality of interfacial cracking resistance in bicrystals has been predicted by a modified Rice-Thomson model and supported by experimental results on Σ9 [110]/(2

The Misorientation Dependence of the Fracture Behavior of F.C.C. Metal Bicrystals
The ductile versus brittle response of Cu bicrystal interfaces with different misorientations and Bi segregation levels has been investigated. The fracture behavior of the bicrystals and the morphology of the ...
