With the advancement of nanoscience, silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrodes have become widely utilised in microscale and nanoscale fluidic experiments, because of their stability. However, our findings reveal that the dissolution of…
The present work investigates the atomic interactions among Cu, Al, and Ni elements in bcc-iron matrix, focusing on the formation mechanism of nano-sized core-shell Cu precipitates. Using a combination of atom probe tomography (APT),…
In this paper we calculate the elastic scattering cross sections of slow electron by carbon nanotubes. The corresponding electron-nanotube interaction is substituted by a zero-thickness cylindrical potential that neglects the atomic…
A method is presented for calculating electron-hole pair excitation due to an incident atom or molecule interacting with a metal surface. Energy loss is described using an \textit{ab initio} approach that obtains a position-dependent…
The neutralization probability of low energy Na$^{+}$ ions scattered from In- and As-rich InAs(001) surfaces is measured by time-of-flight spectroscopy. It is found that the neutralization probability for projectiles scattered from As sites…
The highly resolved temporal evolution of laser-induced micro-explosions on a germanium surface is studied in a triode configuration for various gate charge levels and cathode currents. Electron emission from individual spots is directly…
The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond is the prototype quantum defect that enables a variety of diamond-based quantum technologies. However, charge-state instability and spectral diffusion, often induced by substitutional nitrogen…
Recently, the electride materials, with excess anionic electrons confined in their empty space, have received a growing attention due to their promising applications in catalysis, nonlinear optics and spin-electronics. However, the…
In ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs) of relativistic nuclei without overlap of nuclear densities, the two nuclei are excited by the Lorentz-contracted Coulomb fields of their collision partners. In these UPCs, the typical nuclear excitation…
Narrow carbon nanotubes (CNTs) desalinate water, mimicking water channels of biological membranes, yet the physics behind selectivity, especially, the effect of the membrane embedding CNTs on water and ion transfer, is still unclear. Here,…
Gold nanoparticles are unique electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction, carbon dioxide reduction, and alcohol oxidation. Electrocatalytic processes are influenced by the interaction with the solvent, yet the direct investigation of the…
We report the electrochemical performance of nanostructures of Na$_{0.66}$V$_4$O$_{10}$ as cathode material for rechargeable batteries. The Rietveld refinement of room temperature x-ray diffraction pattern shows the monoclinic phase with…
Atoms and molecules attached to rare gas clusters are ionized by an interatomic autoionization process traditionally termed 'Penning ionization' when the host cluster is resonantly excited. Here we analyze this process in the light of the…
The formation of nano-hillocks on CaF2 crystal surfaces by individual ion impact has been studied using medium energy (3 and 5 MeV) highly charged ions (Xe19+ to Xe30+) as well as swift (kinetic energies between 12 and 58 MeV) heavy ions.…
We present a method for generating cold neutral atoms via charge exchange reactions between trapped ions and Rydberg positronium. The high charge exchange reaction cross section leads to efficient neutralisation of the ions and since the…
Free electrons or holes can mediate the nonradiative recombination of excitons in carbon nanotubes. Kinematic constraints arising from the quasi one-dimensional nature of excitons and charge carriers lead to a thermal activation barrier for…
A nuclear excitation following the capture of an electron in an empty orbital has been recently observed for the first time. So far, the evaluation of the cross section of the process has been carried out widely using the assumption that…
A solid-state cooling principle based on magnetic-field-driven tunable suppression of Andreev reflection in superconductor/two-dimensional electron gas nanostructures is proposed. This cooling mechanism can lead to very large heat fluxes…
High frequency conductivity of hot electrons in an undoped single walled achiral carbon nanotubes (CNTs) under the influence of ac-dc driven fields is considered. We investigated semiclassically by solving the Boltzmann's transport equation…
Electroluminescence (EL) of colloidal nanocrystals promises a new generation of high-performance and solution-processable light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The operation of nanocrystal-based LEDs relies on the recombination of…
