Site-selective overgrowth of Ag nanocrystals by Polyvinylpyrrolidone-mediated atom deposition by Ostwald ripening

Francesco Stellacci, Paulo Henrique Jacob Silva, Alejandro Lapresta Fernandez

The growth modulation of metal nanocrystals (NCs) by Ostwald ripening (OR) involves control of the relocation of matter by diffusional mass transfer from the dissolution of small nanocrystals (SNCs) towards large nanocrystals whose surface energy is lower. ...

Synthesis and properties of heterostructures in nanowires and 2-D materials

Akshay Balgarkashi

Modern solid-state devices were made possible by the discovery of semiconductor heterostructures. Heterostructures offer the ability to fabricate low-dimensional nanostructures such as quantum dots which can restrain carriers in all three-directions. Quant ...

New dense superball packings in three dimensions

Maria Margarethe Dostert

We construct a new family of lattice packings for superballs in three dimensions (unit balls for the l(3)(p) norm) with p epsilon (1, 1.58]. We conjecture that the family also exists for p epsilon (1.58, log(2) 3 = 1.5849625 ...]. Like in the densest latti ...

Facet-driven formation of axial and radial In(Ga)As clusters in GaAs nanowires

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Lucas Güniat, Santhanu Panikar Ramanandan, Didem Dede, Martin George Friedl, Jean-Baptiste Leran, Wonjong Kim, Nicolas Tappy, Akshay Balgarkashi

Embedding quantum dots in nanowires (NWs) constitutes one promising building block for quantum photonic technologies. Earlier attempts to grow InAs quantum dots on GaAs nanowires were based on the Stranski-Krastanov growth mechanism. Here, we propose a nov ...

A Non-Stationary Subdivision Scheme for the Construction of Deformable Models with Sphere-Like Topology

Michaël Unser, Daniel Andreas Schmitter, Anaïs Laure Marie-Thérèse Badoual

We present an affine-invariant non-stationary subdivision scheme for the recursive refinement of any triangular mesh that is regular or has extraordinary vertices of valence 4. In particular, when applied to an arbitrary convex octahedron, it produces a $ ...

Creation of Faceted Polyhedral Microgels from Compressed Emulsions

Esther Amstad, Jing Fan

Compressed monodisperse emulsions in confined space exhibit highly ordered structures. The influence of the volume fraction and the confinement geometry on the organized structures is investigated and the mechanism by which structural transition occurs is ...

Strength evolution of geomaterials in the octahedral plane under non-isothermal and unsaturated conditions

Lyesse Laloui, Victor Vilarrasa Riano, Francesco Parisio

Current geomechanical applications imply non-isothermal processes of unsaturated geomaterials, in most cases following stress paths different than the classical triaxial compression often used in laboratory testing. Though the effects of temperature, sucti ...

Role of sulfur in BaVS3 probed by S K-edge absorption spectroscopy

László Forró, Helmuth Berger

We show that the quasi-1D behavior of BaVS3 can be understood analyzing the X-ray absorption near edge spectra at the sulfur K edge. Linear dichroism experiments, analyzed with the help of ab initio calculations, reveal two strong and polarization dependen ...

Triangle-Free Geometric Intersection Graphs with Large Chromatic Number
