A Theory of Growing Crystalline Nanorods - Mode I
Feng Du, Hanchen Huang
Nanorods grow in two modes through physical vapor deposition (PVD). In mode I, monolayer surface steps dictate the diameter of nanorods. In mode II, multiple-layer surface steps di…
Generalized Theory of Smallest Diameter of Metallic Nanorods
Feng Du, Paul R. Elliott, Hanchen Huang
This Letter reports a generalized theory of the smallest diameter of metallic nanorods from physical vapor deposition. The generalization incorporates the effects of nanorod separa…
Airtight metallic sealing at room temperature under small mechanical pressure
Stephen P. Stagon, Hanchen Huang
Here, we report a process of metallic sealing using small well-separated Ag nanorods; the process is at room temperature under a small mechanical pressure of 9.0 MPa, and also in a…
The Smallest Metallic Nanorods Using Physical Vapor Deposition
Xiaobin Niu, Stephen P. Stagon, Hanchen Huang +2
We first present a theory of the smallest diameter and then use the theory to guide the experimental realization of Cu nanorods of ~20 nm in diameter and Au nanorods of ~10 nm in d…
Controversy over Elastic Constants Based on Interatomic Potentials
L. G. Zhou, Hanchen Huang
A controversy exists among literature reports of constraints on elastic constants. In particular, it has been reported that embedded atom method (EAM) potentials generally impose t…
A Response Embedded Atom Method of Interatomic Potentials
L. G. Zhou, Hanchen Huang
The embedded atom method (EAM) potentials are probably the most widely used interatomic potentials for metals and alloys. However, the EAM potentials impose three constraints on el…
Critical Separation of Clusters During Physical Vapor Deposition
L. G. Zhou, Hanchen Huang
The critical separation of clusters, corresponding to the maximum density of clusters, affects growth characteristics during physical vapor deposition (PVD). In particular, this se…
Anomaly of Film Porosity Dependence on Deposition Rate
Stephen P. Stagon, Hanchen Huang, J. Kevin Baldwin +1
This Letter reports an anomaly of film porosity dependence on deposition rate during physical vapor deposition - the porosity increases as deposition rate decreases. Using glancing…
Diffusion Boundary Condition at Surface Steps
Xiaobin Niu, Hanchen Huang
This Communication reports a geometrical factor that is necessary in the diffusion boundary condition across surface steps. Specifically, this factor relates adatom concentration t…
Excluded Volume Effect in Unzipping DNA with a Force
Pui-Man Lam, J. C. S. Levy, Hanchen Huang
A double stranded DNA molecule when pulled with a force acting on one end of the molecule can become either partially or completely unzipped depending on the magnitude of the force…
