We tune the thermodynamics of hydrogen absorption in Mg by means of elastic clamping. The loading isotherms measured by hydrogenography show that Mg films covered with Mg-alloy-forming elements, such as Pd and Ni, have hydrogen plateau…
Kinetic Monte-Carlo simulation is applied to study the partial oxidation of methane over a nickel catalyst. Based on the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism, the kinetic behavior of this reaction is analyzed and the results are compared with…
The adsorption dynamics of a colloidal particle at a fluid interface is studied theoretically and numerically, documenting distinctly different relaxation regimes. The adsorption of a perfectly smooth particle is characterized by a fast…
Unusual metallic states involving breakdown of the standard Fermi-liquid picture of long-lived quasiparticles in well-defined band states emerge at low temperatures near correlation-driven Mott transitions. Prominent examples are…
We derived a new formula for calculating the moist adiabatic temperature profile of an atmosphere consisting of ideal gases with multiple condensing species. This expression unifies various formulas published in the literature and can be…
CALF-20 was recently identified as a novel benchmark sorbent for CO$_2$ capture at the industrial scale, however comprehensive atomistic insight into its mechanical/thermal properties under working conditions is still lacking. In this…
Conventional approaches to the capture of CO_2 by metal-organic frameworks focus on equilibrium conditions, and frameworks that contain little CO_2 in equilibrium are often rejected as carbon-capture materials. Here we use a statistical…
We introduce a model that accounts for the bipolar resistive switching phenomenom observed in transition metal oxides. It qualitatively describes the electric field-enhanced migration of oxygen vacancies at the nano-scale. The numerical…
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) incorporating open metal sites (OMS) have been identified as promising sorbents for many societally relevant-adsorption applications including CO$_2$ capture, natural gas purification and H$_2$ storage. It is…
This work presents a fully physical model of the hydrogen diffusion and trapping kinetics in metals, integrating permeation and thermal desorption within a unified framework. Based on the McNabb and Foster approach, it requires only binding…
At ambient pressure CaFe2As2 has been found to undergo a first order phase transition from a high temperature, tetragonal phase to a low temperature orthorhombic / antiferromagnetic phase upon cooling through T ~ 170 K. With the application…
We have studied the trends in CO adsorption on close-packed metal surfaces: Co, Ni, Cu from the 3d row, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag from the 4d row and Ir, Pt, Au from the 5d row using density functional theory. In particular, we were concerned with the…
We describe a result coming from an experiment based on an Al-Mg alloy (~ 5% Mg) suspended bar hit by an electron beam and operated above and below the termperature of transition from superconducting to normal state of the material. The…
We present and discuss the results of ab initio DFT plane-wave supercell calculations of the atomic and molecular oxygen adsorption and diffusion on the LaMnO3 (001) surface which serves as a model material for a cathode of solid oxide fuel…
Sorption of gases in micro- and mesoporous materials is typically interpreted on the basis of idealized structural models where real structure effects such as defects and disorder are absent. For covalent organic frameworks (COFs)…
Using a lattice-gas model with pairwise interactions, we study the ordered structures, coverage dependence of the heat of adsorption, and other experimentally observable behavior of adsorbed CO overlayers on Pd(100) single crystal surfaces.…
This paper describes the use of a high-stability quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) to measure the mass of a gas absorbed on and in the metal electrode on the quartz oscillator, when the gas pressure is low and the gas can be considered as…
Despite the common expectation that conjugated organic molecules on metals tend to adsorb in a flat-lying wetting layer, several recent studies have found strong indications for coverage-dependent transitions to upright-standing phases,…
We have measured the local electronic compressibility of a two-dimensional hole gas as it crosses the B=0 Metal-Insulator Transition. In the metallic phase, the compressibility follows the mean-field Hartree-Fock (HF) theory and is found to…
We present a thermodynamically consistent mesoscopic model of protein adsorption at liquid-solid interfaces. First describing the equilibrium state under varying protein concentration of the solution and binding conditions, we predict a…
