Atom controlled sub-nanometer MoS$_2$ pores have been recently fabricated. Oxidative environments are of particular interest for MoS$_2$ applications in electronics, sensing and energy storage. In this work we carried out first-principles…
Carbon capture is vital for decarbonizing heavy industries such as steel and chemicals. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with their high surface area and structural tunability, are promising materials for CO2 capture. This study focuses on…
We present the frequency-dependant (dynamic) dielectric response of a group of topical polycrystalline zeolitic imidazolate-based metal-organic framework (MOF) materials in the extended infrared spectral region. Using synchrotron-based FTIR…
Surface diffusion on metal oxides is key in many areas of materials technology, yet it has been scarcely explored at the atomic scale. This work provides phenomenological insights from scanning tunneling microscopy on the link between…
The experimental research on the nature of diffusion by the Mo substrate atoms into the Ti and Cr deposited thin films is completed by the secondary ion-ion emission method. In [1], the initial stage of the Ti thin film on the Mo substrate…
Thermal batteries based on a reversible adsorption-desorption of a working fluid rather than the conventional vapor compression is a promising alternative to exploit waste thermal energy for heat reallocation. In this context, there is an…
We use DFT to study the effect of molecular adsorbates on the conductance of metallic carbon nanotubes. The five molecules considered (NO2, NH2, H, COOH, OH) lead to similar scattering of the electrons. The adsorption of a single molecule…
In this work we examine the use of metal-organic framework (MOF) systems as host materials for the investigation of glassy dynamics in confined geometry. We investigate the confinement of the molecular glass former glycerol in three…
Coordination polymerization leads to various metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in which symmetrical metal nodes exposed to nano voids lead to unique physical properties and chemical functionalities. One of the challenges towards their…
The spectacular metal-to-insulator transition of V2O3 can be progressively suppressed in thin film samples. Evidence for phase separation was observed using microbridges as a mesoscopic probe of transport properties where the same film…
Metal-organic frameworks often display large positive or negative thermal expansion coefficients. MOF-74, a material envisioned for many applications does not display such a behavior. For this system, temperature-dependent x-ray diffraction…
We show clear experimental evidence of co-operative terahertz (THz) dynamics observed below 3 THz (~100 cm-1), for a low-symmetry Zr-based metal-organic framework (MOF) structure, termed MIL-140A [ZrO(O2C-C6H4-CO2)]. Utilizing a combination…
Designing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) synthesis protocols is currently largely driven by trial-and-error, since we lack fundamental understanding of the molecular level mechanisms that underlie their self-assembly processes. Previous…
Molecular hydrogen is a fascinating candidate for quantum fluid showing bosonic and fermionic superfluidity. We have studied diffusion dynamics of thin films of H$_2$, HD and D$_2$ adsorbed on a glass substrate by measurements of…
Emulsions often act as carriers for water-insoluble solutes that are delivered to a specific target. The molecular transport of solutes in emulsions can be facilitated by surfactants and is often limited by diffusion through the continuous…
Atomic migration from metallic contacts, and subsequent filament formation, is recognised as a prevailing mechanism leading to resistive switching in memristors based on two-dimensional materials (2DMs). This study presents a detailed…
When a fluid carrying a passive solute flows quickly through porous media, three key macroscale transport mechanisms occur. These mechanisms are diffusion, advection and dispersion, all of which depend on the microstructure of the porous…
Electronic circular dichroism is an important optical phenomenon offering insights into chiral molecular materials. On the other hand, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a novel group of crystalline porous thin-film materials that provide…
In this paper we present kinetic properties such as migration and decomposition barriers of hydrogen defects in silicon calculated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) based methods. We study the following defects: H atoms (H) and ions (H+,…
The diffusive transport of biased Brownian particles in a two-dimensional symmetric channel is investigated numerically considering both the no-flow and the reflection boundary conditions at the channel boundaries. Here, the geometrical…
