The study of the formation of molecular hydrogen on low temperature surfaces is of interest both because it allows to explore elementary steps in the heterogeneous catalysis of a simple molecule and because of the applications in…
It is shown that experimentally obtained isotherms of adsorption on solid substrates may be completely reconciled with Lifshitz theory when thermal fluctuations are taken into account. This is achieved within the framework of a…
Heteroepitaxial growth of selected group IV-VI nitrides on various orientations of sapphire (\alpha-Al2O3) is demonstrated using atomic layer deposition. High quality, epitaxial films are produced at significantly lower temperatures than…
When irradiated with violet light, hexaazatrinaphthylene (HATN) extracts a hydrogen atom from an alcohol forming a long-living hydrogenated species. The apparent kinetic isotope effect for fluorescence decay time in deuterated methanol…
Vanadium dioxide, a well-known Mott insulator, is a highly studied electronic material with promising applications in information processing and storage. While fully crystalline layers exhibit exceptional properties, such as a sharp and…
Vanadium oxide films and fibers have been fabricated by the acetylacetonate sol-gel method followed by annealing in wet nitrogen. The samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction and electrical conductivity measurements. The effects of a…
We report the direct observation of superconductivity in nitridized-aluminum thin films. The films are produced by sputtering deposition of aluminum in a controlled mixture of nitrogen diluted in argon. The concentration of applied nitrogen…
Solid-state dewetting phenomenon in silver thin films offers a straightforward method to obtain structures having controlled shape or size -this latter in principle spanning several orders of magnitudes -- with potentially strong interest…
Superconducting thin films with high intrinsic kinetic inductance are of great importance for photon detectors, achieving strong coupling in hybrid systems, and protected qubits. We report on the performance of titanium nitride resonators,…
We report on growth of high-aspect-ratio ($\gtrsim300$) zinc sulfide nanotubes with variable, precisely tunable, wall thicknesses and tube diameters into highly ordered pores of anodic alumina templates by atomic layer deposition (ALD) at…
SnS2 stands out as a highly promising two-dimensional material with significant potential for applications in the field of electronics. Numerous attempts have been undertaken to modulate the physical properties of SnS2 by doping with…
A thin film on a horizontal solid substrate and coated with a soluble surfactant is considered. The governing degenerate parabolic equations for the film height and the surfactant concentrations on the surface and in the bulk are derived…
We report on an XPS study of AlN thin films grown on Si(100) substrates by ion beam sputter deposition (IBSD) in reactive assistance of N+/N2+ ions to unravel the compositional variation of their surface when deposited at different…
In this study, the method of low-temperature atomic layer deposition (ALD), which is applied on the soft photo-resist (PR) substrate forming hafnium dioxide (HfO2) at 40 C to 85 C, is reported for the first time. This reveals the potential…
We report on a new type of experiment that enables us to monitor spatially and temporally heterogeneous dynamic properties in complex fluids. Our approach is based on the analysis of near-field speckles produced by light diffusely reflected…
We investigate the behaviour of a binary surfactant solution (AOT/water) as it is progressively concentrated in microfluidic evaporators. We observe in time a succession of phase transitions from a dilute solution up to a dense state, which…
In this work, amorphous thin films in Mg-Si-O-N system were prepared in order to investigate the dependence of optical and mechanical properties on Mg composition. Reactive RF magnetron co-sputtering from magnesium and silicon targets were…
The study uses AACVD technology with nitrogen carrier gas to make AZO thin films through which it determines structural, optical, and morphological changes from 0 to 20 percent aluminum doping. The depositions took place at 400 degrees…
Water vapor capture through free surface flows plays a crucial role in various industrial applications, such as liquid desiccant air conditioning systems, water harvesting, and dewatering. This paper studies the dynamics of a silicone…
In this chapter, the physisorption of hydrogen molecules in porous materials as possible hydrogen storage systems has been reviewed. Owing to the weak interaction between H2 molecules and the adsorbent, high storage capacities are typically…
