The deuteration of ammonia by D atoms has been investigated experimentally in the sub-monolayer regime on realistic analogues of interstellar dust grain surfaces. About 0.8 monolayer of solid NH3 was deposited on top of an oxidized graphite…

Diffusion across surfaces generally involves motion on a vibrating but otherwise stationary substrate. Here, using molecular dynamics, we show that a layered material such as graphene opens up a new mechanism for surface diffusion whereby…

In this paper, we evaluate of the adsorption/ desorption of ammonia molecules on a graphene surface by studying the Fermi level shift. Based on a physically plausible model, the adsorption and desorption rates of ammonia molecules on…

Diffusion and drift of a graphene flake on a graphite surface are analyzed. A potential energy relief of the graphene flake is computed using ab initio and empirical calculations. Based on the analysis of this relief, different mechanisms…

Chemical functionalization of graphene holds promise for various applications ranging from nanoelectronics to catalysis, drug delivery, and nanoassembly. In many applications it is important to be able to transport adsorbates on graphene in…

We report the application of femtosecond four-wave mixing (FWM) to the study of carrier transport in solution-processed CH3NH3PbI3. The diffusion coefficient was extracted through direct detection of the lateral diffusion of carriers…

We report fast atom diffraction through single-layer graphene using hydrogen atoms at kinetic energies from 150 to 1200 eV. High-resolution images reveal overlapping hexagonal patterns from coexisting monocrystalline domains. Time-of-flight…

Spectral lines of ammonia, NH$_3$, are useful probes of the physical conditions in dense molecular cloud cores. In addition to advantages in spectroscopy, ammonia has also been suggested to be resistant to freezing onto grain surfaces,…

Diffusion of atomic and molecular hydrogen in the interstitial space between graphite sheets has been studied by molecular dynamics simulations. Interatomic interactions were modeled by a tight-binding potential fitted to density-functional…

(abridged) We present ATCA and GBT observations of ammonia (NH3) toward the ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) merger Arp220. We detect the NH3 (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), and (6,6) inversion lines in absorption against the…

Using helium-3 atom scattering, we have studied the adsorption kinetics, the structure and the diffusional dynamics of atomic hydrogen on the surface of a graphene monolayer on Ni(111). Diffraction measurements reveal a 4$^\circ$ rotated…

Molecular adsorption at the surface of a 2D material poses numerous questions regarding the modification to the band structure and interfacial states, which of course deserve full attention. In line with this, first-principle density…

Ammonia is one of the most widely observed molecules in space, and many observations are able to resolve the hyperfine structure due to the electric quadrupole moment of the nitrogen nucleus. The observed spectra often display anomalies in…

The diffusion of atoms and radicals on interstellar dust grains is a fundamental ingredient for predicting accurate molecular abundances in astronomical environments. Quantitative values of diffusivity and diffusion barriers usually rely…

We present a new set of measurements obtained with the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA) of Jupiter's microwave thermal emission near the 1.3 cm ammonia (NH$_{3}$) absorption band. We use these observations to…

In this study, we employ a multi-scale computational modeling approach, combining density functional theory (DFT) and self-consistent charge density functional tight binding (SCC-DFTB), to investigate hydrogen (H2) production and…

The Caltech Submillimeter Observatory has detected triply deuterated ammonia, ND3, through its 10a-00s transition near 310 GHz. Emission is found in the NGC 1333 region, both towards IRAS 4A and a position to the South-East where DCO+…

We report the broadband absorption spectrum of the $3\nu_{2}$ band of $^{14}$NH$_{3}$ near 4 $\mu m$. The data were recorded using a mid-infrared frequency comb coupled to a homebuilt Fourier-transform spectrometer with a resolution of…

Graphitic carbon is currently considered the state-of-the-art material for the negative electrode in lithium-ion cells, mainly due to its high reversibility and low operating potential. However, carbon anodes exhibit mediocre…

Hole formation in a polycrystalline Ni film on an $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$ substrate coupled with a continuum diffusion analysis demonstrates that Ni diffusion along the Ni/$\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$ interface is surprisingly fast. Ab initio…
