Theory of coagulation of metal nanodust clouds into micro-solids
Peter V Pikhitsa
We describe briefly a possible coagulation mechanism for unipolar nanodust clouds of 3 nm single charged metal nanoparticles. A theoretical dependence of the critical cloud concent…
Electric field funnels for guiding charged nanoparticles. Simple models for exact solutions
Peter V Pikhitsa
Static electric fields can be configured to guide charged nanoparticles along the electric field lines. Some field line configurations can focus the nanoparticles to prescribed pla…
Discrete geometry and topology of entanglement of straight lines in 3-space
Peter V Pikhitsa, Stanislaw Pikhitsa
We propose an unexpected twist to description of the geometry and topology of configurations of n straight lines considered as a whole 3D entity (because the lines are inseparably…
Sparking mashups to form multifunctional alloy nanoparticles
Jicheng Feng, Dong Chen, Peter V. Pikhitsa +3
Synthesizing unconventional alloys remains challenging owing to seamless interactions between kinetics and thermodynamics. High entropy alloys (HEAs), for example, draw a fundament…
Perpetual floating drops
Peter V. Pikhitsa
The stability of floating drops on the liquid surface of the same liquid is considered in terms of viscous drainage theory. We have expressed the minimal thickness of the air film,…
Three-dimensional nanoprinting via charged aerosol focusing
Wooik Jung, Yoon-ho Jung, Peter V. Pikhitsa +4
A powerful and flexible method of 3D nano-printing, based on focusing charged aerosol, has been developed. The self-consistent electric field configuration, created with a holey fl…
