Molecular dynamics simulations are used to study contact between a rigid, nonadhesive, spherical tip with radius of order 30nm and a flat elastic substrate covered with a fluid monolayer of adsorbed chain molecules. Previous studies of bare…
We report the evolution of superconducting properties with disorder, in 3-dimensional homogeneously disordered epitaxial NbN thin films. The effective disorder in NbN is controlled from moderately clean limit down to Anderson…
We investigate - with Monte Carlo computer simulations - the phase behaviour of dimeric colloidal molecules on periodic substrates with square symmetry. The molecules are formed in a two-dimensional suspension of like charged colloids…
Manganese-doped zinc sulfide nanocrystalline thin films were synthesized using a low-temperature chemical bath deposition and deposited on glass substrates for controlled durations using triethanolamine (TEA) as a complexing and capping…
Electric dipoles of water molecules, enclosed singly in regularly spaced nanopores of a cordierite crystal, become ordered at low temperature due to their mutual interaction and show the frequency dependence of their dielectric…
2D ferromagnets offer valuable insights into the fundamentals of magnetism and stimulate the progress of ultracompact spintronics. The demand for seamless integration of the materials with the Si technology, particularly helpful to their…
Two-dimensional (2D) nanoparticle films are a new class of materials with interesting physical properties and applications ranging from nanoelectronics to sensing and photonics. The importance of conducting nanoparticle films makes the…
Electrical transport measurements using a multiterminal configuration are presented, which prove that in BSCCO single crystals near the transition temperature in zero external magnetic field the secondary voltage is induced by thermally…
Extensive Path Integral Monte Carlo simulations of condensed para-Hydrogen in two dimensions at low temperature have been carried out. In the zero temperature limit, the system is a crystal at equilibrium, with a triangular lattice…
Homogeneous face-centered cubic (fcc) polycrystalline CoCrFeNi films were deposited at room temperature on (0001)alpha-Al2O3 (c-sapphire). Phase and morphological stability of 200 to 670 nm thick films were investigated between 973 K and…
The recent observation of superconducting state at atomic scale has motivated the pursuit of exotic condensed phases in two-dimensional (2D) systems. Here we report on a superconducting phase in two-monolayer crystalline Ga films…
Recently, it has been theoretically predicted that Cd3As2 is a three dimensional Dirac material, a new topological phase discovered after topological insulators, which exhibits a linear energy dispersion in the bulk with massless Dirac…
Dielectric measurements on 0.65[Pb(Ni_1/3Nb_2/3)O_3]-0.35PbTiO_3 ceramic in the temperature range 90K to 470K shows a relaxor ferroelectric transition around 350K with a Vogel-Fulcher freezing temperature of 338K and appearance of a…
We report our results on the adsorption of noble gases such as argon, krypton and xenon on a graphene sheet, using Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations. We calculated the two-dimensional gas-liquid critical temperature for each…
Alkanes of medium chain length show an unusual wetting behavior on (salt) water, exhibiting a sequence of two changes in the wetting state. When deposited on the water surface at low temperatures, the liquid alkane forms discrete droplets…
Thermal stability of hydrogenated amorphous Si/Ge multilayers has been investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Small-Angle X-Ray Diffraction (SAXRD) techniques. Amorphous H-Si/Ge…
We present a novel transparent conductive support structure for two-dimensional (2D) materials that provides an electronically passive 2D/3D interface while also enabling facile interfacial charge transport. This structure, which comprises…
Lubricants can affect quasicrystalline coatings surfaces by modifying commensurability of the interfaces. We report results of the first computer simulation studies of physically adsorbed hydrocarbons on a quasicrystalline surface: methane,…

The melting of a binary system of charged particles confined in a {\it quasi}-one-dimensional parabolic channel is studied through Monte Carlo simulations. At zero temperature the particles are ordered in parallel chains. The melting is…
