Vapor deposition on polycrystalline films can lead to staggering levels of compressive stress, exceeding even the yield strength of the films. Mysteriously, a significant part of this stress has a reversible nature: it disappears when the…
A detailed formulation for the effects of the surface integrity, i.e. surface topography, surface metallurgy, and surface mechanical properties, on the mechanics of ultra-thin films is proposed in the framework of linear elasticity. In this…
According to a continuous medium theory, in very thin ferroelectric films with real metallic electrodes (or dead layers near the electrodes) the domain structure reduces to sinusoidal distribution of ferroelectric polarization. Such a…
In this work we present a computational study of the small strain mechanics of freestanding ultrathin CNT films under in-plane loading. The numerical modeling of the mechanics of representatively large specimens with realistic micro- and…
We study theoretically the in-plane electromagnetic response and the exciton-plasmon interactions for an experimentally feasible carbon nanotube (CN) film systems composed of parallel aligned periodic semiconducting CN arrays embedded in an…
Previous studies showed that, as ferroelectric films become thinner, their Curie temperature (Tc) and polarization below Tc both typically decrease. In contrast, a recent experiment [Chang et al., Science 353, 274 (2016)] observed that…
In this paper we use density functional theory combined with dynamical mean-field theory (DFT+DMFT) to study interface effects between thin films of the correlated metal CaVO$_3$ and the two typical substrate materials SrTiO$_3$ and…
Thin films of diblock copolymer subject to gravitational field are simulated by means of a cell dynamical system model. The difference in density of the two sides of the molecule and the presence of the field causes the formation of…
We explore the potential of Time-Of-Flight Medium Energy Ion Scattering (TOFMEIS) for thin film analysis and analyze possible difficulties in evaluation of experimental spectra. Issues regarding different combinations of composition and…
First principles calculations of the electronic structure of trigonal iron were performed using density function theory. The results are used to predict lattice spacings, magnetic moments and elastic properties; these are in good agreement…
Based on a microscopic density functional theory we calculate the internal structure of the three-phase contact line between liquid, vapor, and a confining wall as well as the morphology of liquid wetting films on a substrate exhibiting a…
Recent experimental advances in surface science have made it possible to track the evolution of superconductivity in films as the thickness enters the nanoscale region where it is expected that the substrate plays an important role. Here,…
We present a comprehensive study of the structural and electronic properties of ultrathin films containing graphene layers synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) based surface segregation on polycrystalline Ni foils then transferred…
We describe high-Tc superconductivity in layered materials within a BCS theory as a BEC of massless-like Cooper pairons satisfying a linear dispersion relation, and propagating within quasi-2D layers of finite width defined by the charge…
A self-consistent model is developed for the surface and bulk states of thin Y_{1-y}Ca_yBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta} (YCBCO) films. The dispersions of the chain and plane layers are modelled by tight-binding bands, and the electronic structure is…
In this paper we study kinetics of spreading of thin liquid films on solid interfaces. We present an overview of current experimental picture and discuss available theoretical approaches and their limitations. We report some new…
We adopt thick-film technology to produce ultra high vacuum compatible interfaces for electrical signals. These interfaces permit voltages of hundreds of Volts and currents of several Amperes and allow for very compact vacuum setups, useful…
Using an interface displacement model we calculate the shapes of thin liquidlike films adsorbed on flat substrates containing a chemical stripe. We determine the entire phase diagram of morphological phase transitions in these films as…
Several model fluids in contact with planar, spherical, and cylindrical walls are investigated for small number densities within density functional theory. The dependence of the solid-fluid interfacial tension on the curvature of spherical…
Thermally excited capillary waves at fluid interfaces in binary liquid mixtures exhibit simultaneously both density and composition fluctuations. Based on a density functional theory for inhomogeneous binary liquid mixtures we derive an…
