Stranski-Krastanov strained islands undergo a shape anisotropy transition as they grow in size, finally evolving toward nanowires. This effect has been explained until now via simple energetic models that neglect thermodynamics. We…
The mechanical properties of Cadmium telluride (CdTe) nanowire have become focus of interest now-a-days due to its promising application in opto-electro-mechanical nanodevices. Inthis study, molecular dynamics simulations have been used to…
The shape of metallic constrictions of nanoscopic dimensions (necks) formed using a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is shown to depend on the fabrication procedure. Submitting the neck to repeated plastic deformation cycles makes…
The influence of periodic and random surface textures on the flow structure and effective slip length in Newtonian fluids is investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We consider a situation where the typical pattern size is…
The static and dynamic properties of dendrimers in semidilute solutions of linear chains of comparable size are investigated using Brownian dynamics simulations. The radius of gyration and diffusivity of a wide variety of low generation…
We performed an extensive first-principles study of nanowires in various pentagonal structures by using pseudopotential plane wave method within the density functional theory. Our results show that nanowires of different types of elements,…
A simple hydrothermal method was developed for the synthesis of ultra fine single-crystal {\alpha}-MnO2 nanowires by only using potassium permanganate and sodium nitrite in acidic solution, without any seed or template. Detailed analysis of…
We study the breakup of a liquid jet a few nanometers in diameter, based on a stochastic differential equation derived recently by Moseler and Landman [Science {\bf 289}, 1165 (2000)]. In agreement with their simulations, we confirm that…
Wide (soft) binaries are expected to be rapidly disrupted in dense stellar environments, yet they are observed in both the Galactic field and open clusters (OCs). In this paper, we investigate the formation and disruption of wide binaries…
Using a Brownian dynamics simulation, we numerically studied the interaction of DNA with histone and proposed an octamer-rotation model to describe the process of nucleosome formation. Nucleosome disruption under stretching was also…
Superconducting nanowires are very important due to their applications ranging from quantum technology to astronomy. In this work, we implement a non-invasive process to fabricate nanowires of high-$T_\text{c}$ superconductor…
Fabrication of superconducting nanomechanical resonators for quantum research, detectors and devices traditionally relies on a lithographic process, resulting in oscillators with sharp edges and a suspended length limited to a few 100…
Capturing the dynamics of granular flows at intermediate length scales can often be difficult. We propose studying the dynamics of contact networks as a new tool to study fracture at intermediate scales. Using experimental three-dimensional…
Structures involving solid particles of nanometric dimensions play an increasingly important role in material sciences. These structures are often characterized through the vibrational properties of their constituent particles, which can be…
The architecture of novel metallic mesostructures obtained via self-organization of growing nanowires has been investigated. Seashell, fungus and lotus leafshaped structures are reproducibly formed by programmable pulse current…
We synthesized the liquid crystal dimer and trimer members of a series of flexible linear oligomers and characterized their microscopic and nanoscopic properties using resonant soft x-ray scattering and a number of other experimental…
Large-scale molecular dynamics simulations are used to simulate a layer of nanoparticles diffusing on the surface of a liquid. Both a low viscosity liquid, represented by Lennard-Jones monomers, and a high viscosity liquid, represented by…
In recent years, much study has been made by applying the {\it non-extensive statistics} (NES) to various non-extensive systems where the entropy and/or energy are not necessarily proportional to the number of their constituent subsystems.…
DNA oligomers with properly designed sequences self-assemble into well defined constructs. Here, we exploit this methodology to produce bulk quantities of tetravalent DNA nanostars (each one composed by 196 nucleotides) and to explore the…
A novel method for controlling nanowire magnetic properties and growth from filling time profile is presented. The wires are grown with an electrodeposition method ("Template synthesis") with a wide selection of pore diameters. We show that…
