In the last forty years the semiconductor industry focused on the downscaling process of the CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) technology, trying to follow as much as possible the empirical Moore's Law. In the last five years this trend has be ...
A novel electro-fragmentation method was developed as a fast alternative to the time consuming fragmentation test carried out in situ in a microscope, to investigate the failure of dielectric inorganic coatings on polymer substrates. An ultrathin conductiv ...
Nanoparticles on an atomic carpet: Individual graphene sheets have been decorated with metal nanoparticles through electrochemistry. The attachment of Pd particles onto graphene renders it sensitive to hydrogen. The controlled functionalization of graphene ...
We studied the temperature stability of the endohedral fullerene molecule N@C-60 inside single-wall carbon nanotubes using electron-spin-resonance spectroscopy. We found that the nitrogen escapes at higher temperatures in the encapsulated material as compa ...
The smaller carbon cluster anions, Cn- (n = 2-11), and their monohydrides, CnH- have been studied previously using anion photoelectron spectroscopy. In many cases, vibrational structure is obsd., but much of the structure remains hidden due to the resoln. ...
