Evolution of two-dimensional wormlike nanoclusters on metal surfaces.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A pinch-off phenomenon is discovered in the evolution of 2D wormlike nanoclusters formed in homoepitaxial adlayers. This feature is shown to distinguish mass transport via periphery diffusion from other mechanisms. Continuum modeling of such evolution accurately describes experimental observations, particularly if one incorporates the anisotropy in step-edge line tension.

Coarsening of Two-Dimensional Nanoclusters on Metal Surfaces
We describe experimental observations and theoretical analysis of the coarsening of distributions of twodimensional nanoclusters, either adatom islands or vacancy pits, on metal surfaces. A detailed analyses is provided for Ag(111) and Ag(100) surfaces, although we also discuss corresponding behavior for Cu(111) and Cu(100) surfaces. The dominant kinetic pathway for coarsening can be either Ost...
متن کاملActivation Strategies for Enhancement the Catalytic Activity of Gold Nanocatalysts
Recent advances in nanoscience have led to the development of numerous methodologiesfor controlled synthesis of mono dispersed nanoparticles and/or nanoclusters via surface stabilization by organic capping ligands. The application of these nanoparticles in catalysis and other fields often requires the removal of organic ligands. It is known that the removal of organic capping agents or or...
متن کاملMetal-driven viscoelastic wormlike micelle in anionic/zwitterionic surfactant systems and template-directed synthesis of dendritic silver nanostructures.
In this work, metal ion-induced viscoelastic wormlike micelles in anionic/zwitterionic surfactant solutions (sodium dodecylsulfate/tetradecyldimethylammoniumpropanesulfonate, SDS/TPS) are reported. Steady and dynamic rheology and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) are employed to characterize wormlike micelles in the SDS/TPS/Ca(NO(3))(2) system. Moreover, the surfactant mixin...
متن کاملاکستروژن سه بعدی به روش میدان خطوط لغزش
Many metal forming problems have been solved using the slip line field method but all of them have either been two-dimensional (plane strain or plain stress) or axisymmetric problems. In this paper a procedure has been proposed by which the slip line field solution to three dimensional problems of metal forming becomes possible. For this purpose the extrusion of shaped sections has been taken a...
متن کاملSemi-Analytical Solution for Free Vibration Analysis of Thick Laminated Curved Panels with Power-Law Distribution FG Layers and Finite Length Via Two-Dimensional GDQ Method
This paper deals with free vibration analysis of thick Laminated curved panels with finite length, based on the three-dimensional elasticity theory. Because of using two-dimensional generalized differential quadrature method, the present approach makes possible vibration analysis of cylindrical panels with two opposite axial edges simply supported and arbitrary boundary conditions including Fre...
