May 1, 2013 - Awhile back, we talked about periodic structure in solids, and how the geometric arrangement of atoms in a material determines many of the material properties. Dec 1, 2009 - An important step in modelling complex materials is writing down effective Hamiltonians which capture the essential physics. 5 days ago - Different materials integrated into a single electronic device. Fundamental areas of glass science such as structure and modeling of amorphous solids, vibrational states of disordered solids, electronic structure of glasses, amorphous chalcogenides, and phase-change materials. May 14, 2014 - As their motivation for the work, Cohn noted that metals with a similar electronic structure often exhibit interesting physics and the thermoelectric properties of LiPB had never been studied in detail. Jun 16, 2009 - In this thesis, we have theoretically investigated carbon based materials, such as carbon nanotubes, pentacene and spiro-biphenalenyl neutral radical molecular crystals. Apr 30, 2014 - Brian LeRoy, UA associate professor of physics (right) and graduate student and first author of the study, Matthew Yankowitz, use a tunneling electron microscope to probe the electronic properties of graphene. Photocatalysis is a primary method used to The electronic structure of nickel oxide makes it such that electrons cannot transfer to it from TiO2, thus making it impossible to be an electron trapper. Yu adds that the team is now busy trying to integrate a thin insulating layer of another 2D material – hexagonal boron nitride – into its structure. 5 days ago - Although replication studies and more data will be needed to confirm the new ideas presented, this is an exciting alternative view of photocatalysis that could inspire new classes of materials to improve performance and reduce costs. Jun 15, 2009 - To reduce their number and to design a device with desired specifications, multilayered systems with varying composition (and thus material properties) are grown. Aug 3, 2010 - Shenyang National Laboratory for Materials Science, Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 72 Wenhua Road, Shenyang 110016, China, ARC Centre of Excellence for Functional Nanomaterials, The University of Queensland, QLD 4072, Australia, and Centre for Electronic structure intrinsically controls the light absorbance, redox potential, charge-carrier mobility, and consequently, photoreactivity of semiconductor photocatalysts. May 15, 2014 - One postdoctoral position is available in the W. Jul 9, 2013 - Ultrasoft X-ray emission spectroscopy (USXES) was used to investigate the electronic structures of FePt alloy included carbon nanocapsules (FePt@CNCs) and graphite nanosheets (GNSs). Apr 14, 2006 - Electron diffraction is more sensitive at small scattering angles and the low-angle electron scattering factors change by ~5%. Feb 16, 2009 - Electrical and computer engineering professor Joseph Lyding has proven that the orientation of atoms along the edges of the graphene lattice would affect the material's electronic properties.
