Pore and Ligament Size Control, Thermal Stability and Mechanical Properties of Nanoporous Single Crystals of Gold
Maria Koifman Khristosov, Shiri Dishon, Imrit Noi +2
Nanoporous gold is widely used in research and nanotechnology because of its diverse properties, including high surface area and catalytic activity. The ligament size is usually co…
Density of Nanometrically Thin Amorphous Films Varies by Thickness
Yael Etinger-Geller, Alex Katsman, Boaz Pokroy
Organisms in nature can alter the short-range order of an amorphous precursor phase, thereby controlling the resulting crystalline structure. This phenomenon inspired an investigat…
A Study on the Wetting Properties of Broccoli Leaf Surfaces and their Time Dependent Self-Healing After Mechanical Damage
Benjamin B. Rich, Boaz Pokroy
Plants are protected from the elements by a complex hierarchical epicuticular wax layer which has inspired the creation of super-hydrophobic and self-cleaning surfaces. Although ma…
Paraffin Wax Crystal Coarsening: Effects of Strains and Wax Crystal Shape
Sasha Pechook, Alex Katsman, Boaz Pokroy
We developed a model of paraffin wax crystal coarsening that well describes our experimental results and allows behavior of the paraffin films to be predicted on the basis of the e…
Synthesis of calcium carbonate in trace water environments
Giulia Magnabosco, Iryna Polishchuk, Boaz Pokroy +3
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) was synthesized from diverse water-free alcohol solutions, resulting in the formation of vaterite and calcite precipitates, or stable particle supensions,…
Hybrid gold single crystals incorporating amino acids
Linfeng Chen, Iryna Polishchuk, Eva Weber +2
Here we report on the formation of hybrid organic-metal composites via the incorporation of selected amino acids into the crystal lattice of single crystals of gold. We used electr…
