Ultrafast Spontaneous Motion of Nanodroplets
Cunjing Lv, Chao Chen, Yin-Chuan Chuang +4
Making liquid droplets move spontaneously on solid surfaces is a key challenge in lab-on-chip and heat exchanger technologies. The best-known mechanism, a wettability gradient, doe…
Driving Droplets by Curvi-Propulsion
Cunjing Lv, Chao Chen, Yin-Chuan Chuang +4
How to make small liquid droplets move spontaneously and directionally on solid surfaces is a challenge in lab-on-chip technologies, DNA analysis, and heat exchangers. The best-kno…
A collaborative citizen science platform for real-time volunteer computing and games
Poonam Yadav, Ioannis Charalampidis, Jeremy Cohen +2
Volunteer computing (VC) or distributed computing projects are common in the citizen cyberscience (CCS) community and present extensive opportunities for scientists to make use of…
Crystal structure and epitaxy of Bi2Te3 films grown on Si
Jihwey Park, Yeong-Ah Soh, G. Aeppli +5
We report comprehensive x-ray diffraction studies of the crystal structure and epitaxy of thin films of the topological insulator Bi2Te3 grown on Si (1 1 1). The films are single c…
Electric field effects in STM imaging
Kurt Stokbro, Ulrich Quaade, Francois Grey
We present a high voltage extension of the Tersoff-Hamann theory of STM images, which includes the effect of the electric field between the tip and the sample. The theoretical mode…
Graphite Nanoeraser
Ze Liu, Peter. Bøggild, Jia-rui Yang +5
We present here a method for cleaning intermediate-size (5~50nm) contamination from highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. Electron beam deposition causes a continuous increase of car…
