We perform electrical field effect measurements at 4 K on insulating granular aluminium thin films. When the samples size is reduced below 100 micrometers, reproducible and stable conductance fluctuations are seen as a function of the gate…
We calculated the optical properties of an $N$-layer graphene by formulating the dynamical conductivity of each layer. This is the conductivity when an electromagnetic field is localized at a particular layer and differs from the standard…
Liquid wetting of a surface is omnipresent in nature and the advance of micro-fabrication and assembly techniques in recent years offers increasing ability to control this phenomenon. Here, we identify how surface roughness influences the…
We have performed surface tension measurements on carbopol gels of different concentrations and yield stresses. Our setup, based on the force exerted by a capillary bridge on two parallel plates, allows to measure an effective surface…
We report results of \textit{ab initio} electronic structure and quantum conductance calculations indicating the emergence of conduction at the surface of semiconducting carbon foams. Occurrence of new conduction states is intimately linked…
Surface electronic properties of undoped hydrogen terminated diamond covered with adsorbates or in electrolyte solutions are summarized. The formation of a conductive layer at the surface of diamond is discussed based on Hall effect,…
A superconducting layer exposed to a perpendicular electric field and a parallel magnetic field is considered within the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) approach. The GL equation is solved near the surface and the surface energy is calculated. The…
Solid interfaces have intrinsic elasticity. However, in most experiments, this is obscured by bulk stresses. Through microscopic observations of the contact-line geometry of a partially wetting droplet on an anisotropically stretched…
We demonstrate spontaneous bidirectional motion of droplets on liquid infused surfaces in the presence of a topographical gradient, in which the droplets can move either toward the denser or the sparser solid fraction area. Our analytical…
One-dimensional model for study of sub--femtosecond experiment with metal surface is put forward. The important features of the system, such as the pseudopotential for electron motion in the metal bulk, abrupt decrease of the normal to the…
We present x-ray reflectivity and diffuse scattering measurements from the liquid surface of pure potassium. They strongly suggest the existence of atomic layering at the free surface of a pure liquid metal with low surface tension. Prior…
The electrical conductivity changes of the Si(111)-(6x6)Au surface at early stage of Pb deposition was studied experimentally and theoretically as a function of coverage. Pb deposition onto a Si(111)-(6x6)Au surface induce strong change of…
Applying a quasiclassical equation to carriers in graphene we found a way how to distinguish between samples with the domination of short and long range scatterers from the conductivity measurements. The model proposed explains recent…
We obtain analytic expressions for the conductivity of pristine (pure) graphene in the framework of the Dirac model using the polarization tensor in (2+1)-dimensions defined along the real frequency axis. It is found that at both zero and…
Molecular dynamics (MD) and continuum simulations are carried out to investigate the influence of shear rate and surface roughness on slip flow of a Newtonian fluid. For weak wall-fluid interaction energy, the nonlinear shear-rate…
Controlling the structure of polymer solutions near a solid surface is crucial for many industrial processes, as it significantly impacts solution flow and influences slip at the interface. To date, only a few techniques have been developed…
A new model for predicting the effective thermal conductivity of polycrystalline materials is presented. In contrast to existing models, our new model is based on the thin-interface description of grain boundaries (GBs) and treats GBs as an…
Gradient, chemically modified, flat surfaces enable directed transport of droplets. Calculation of apparent contact angles inherent for gradient surfaces is challenging even for atomically flat ones. Wetting of gradient, flat solid surfaces…
Effective conductivity of a 2D random composite is expressed in the form of long series in the volume fraction of ideally conducting disks. The problem of a {\it direct} reconstruction of the critical index for superconductivity from the…
The electronic and transport properties of aluminum-graphene composite materials were investigated using ab initio plane wave density functional theory. The interfacial structure is reported for several configurations. In some cases, the…
