Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are quasi-1D nanostructures that display both high thermal conductivity and intriguing low-dimensional phonon transport phenomena. In comparison to the advances made in the theoretical calculation of the lattice…
Among the large family of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), recently ReS2 has stood out due to its nearly layer-independent optoelectronic and physicochemical properties. These are related to its 1T distorted octahedral structure,…
Although 2D materials hold great potential for next-generation pressure sensors, recent studies revealed that gases permeate along the membrane-surface interface that is only weakly bound by van der Waals interactions, necessitating…
A plasma glow discharge system was created using a conventional microwave oven to ignite and maintain the plasma. The system was used for plasma cleaning and its properties were analysed to assess its viability for removing surface…
