Reduction in Rebound of Concrete Piles Driven into Clays by Coating Pile Surface with Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles
Nadya Amalia, Asifa Asri, Mamat Rokhmat +2
Using a model for concrete piles driven into clays, we compared penetration depths between uncoated piles and piles coated with titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles. The behavior…

Zipper Model for the Melting of Thin Films
Mikrajuddin Abdullah, Shafira Khairunnisa, Fathan Akbar
We proposed an alternative model to criterion of Lindemann for melting that explains the melting of thin films on the basis of a molecular zipper-like mechanism. Using this model,…

New Design of Potentially Low-cost Solar Cells Using TiO2/Graphite Composite as Photon Absorber
Dui Yanto Rahman, Mamat Rokhmat, Elfi Yuliza +2
A solar cell design using the combination of titanium dioxide and graphite as active photon absorbing materials were proposed. The titanium dioxide absorbs photons of nearly ultrav…
