We use various electrode layouts to tailor the profile of the electric field in a two-dimensional (2D) dielectric-barrier-discharge system, thereby creating spatial templates for the lateral distribution of discharge filaments. Our…
We exploit the intrinsic structural instability of the Fe70Pd30 magnetic shape memory alloy to obtain functional epitaxial films exhibiting a self-organized nanostructure. We demonstrate that coherent epitaxial straining by 54% is possible.…
Self-assembly due to capillary forces is a common method for generating 2D mesoscale structures from identical floating particles at the liquid-air interface. Designing building blocks to obtain a desired mesoscopic structure is a…
Transitions between ``glassy'' local minima of a model free-energy functional for a dense hard-sphere system are studied numerically using a ``microcanonical'' Monte Carlo method that enables us to obtain the transition probability as a…
The application of nanocrystals as heterogeneous catalysts and plasmonic nanoparticles requires fine control of their shape and chemical composition. A promising idea to achieve synergistic effects is to combine two distinct chemical and/or…
The low-energy properties of two-dimensional ensembles of dipole-coupled magnetic nanoparticles are studied as function of structural disorder and particle coverage. Already small deviations from a square particle arrangement lift the…
We performed density functional theory calculations with self-consistent van der Waals corrected exchange-correlation (XC) functionals to capture the structure of black phosphorus and twelve monochalcogenide monolayers and find the…
The organization of nano-particles inside grafted polymer layers is governed by the interplay of polymer-induced entropic interactions and the action of externally applied fields. Earlier work had shown that strong external forces can drive…
Geometric frustration is a widespread phenomenon in physics, materials science, and biology, occurring when the geometry of a system prevents local interactions from being all accommodated. The resulting manifold of nearly degenerate…
Heterostructures constructed from two-dimensional building blocks have shown promise for field-effect transistors, memory devices, photosensors and other electronic applications1,2. 2D nanosheet crystals can be constructed into multilayer…
In many areas of research it is interesting how lattices can be filled with particles that have no nearest neighbors, or they are in limited quantities. Examples may be found in statistical physics, chemistry, materials science, discrete…
Open lattices are characterized by low volume-fraction arrangements of building blocks, low coordination number, and open spaces between building blocks. The self-assembly of these lattices faces the challenge of mechanical instability due…
Orientational and positional ordering properties of liquid crystal monolayers are examined by means of Fundamental-Measure Density Functional Theory. Particles forming the monolayer are modeled as hard parallelepipeds of square section of…
Based on large-scale Monte Carlo simulations on lattice the energy probability distribution functions are investigated for a large set of primary sequences in distinct models of copolymers at low temperatures below transitions to compacted…
Monolayer Tellurium (Te) or tellurene has been suggested by a recent theory as a new two-dimensional (2D) system with great electronic and optoelectronic promises. Here we present an experimental study of epitaxial Te deposited on highly…
The search for high-quality transition metal dichalcogenides mono- and multi-layers grown on large areas is still a very active field of investigation nowadays. Here, we use molecular beam epitaxy to grow 15$\times$15 mm large WSe$_2$ on…
We present a unified model of compound semiconductor growth based on kinetic Monte Carlo simulations in tandem with new experimental results that can describe and predict the mechanisms for the formation of various types of nanostructures…
Mixtures of nanoparticles and polymer-like objects are encountered in many nanotechnological applications and biological systems. We study the behavior of grafted polymer layers decorated by nanoparticles that are attracted to the polymers…
We studied the growth of an epitaxial graphene monolayer on Ru(0001). The graphene monolayer covers uniformly the Ru substrate over lateral distances larger than several microns reproducing the structural defects of the Ru substrate. The…
We simulated random walk of rectangular particles on a square lattice with periodic boundary conditions. Two kind of particles were investigated, viz., so-called `blind' and `myopic' particles. We found that steady state patterns occurred…
