We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the evaporation of particle-laden droplets on a heated surface. The droplets are composed of a Lennard-Jones fluid containing rigid particles, which are spherical sections of an atomic lattice, and heating is controlled through the temperature of an atomistic substrate. We observe that sufficiently large (but still nanosized) particle-laden drops e...

Nanocomposite SiOx particles have been produced by a single step plasma spray physical vapor deposition (PS-PVD) through rapid condensation of SiO vapors and the subsequent disproportionation reaction. Core-shell nanoparticles, in which 15 nm crystalline Si is embedded within the amorphous SiOx matrix, form under typical PS-PVD conditions, while 10 nm amorphous particles are formed when process...

There can be no doubt that nanotechnology will play a major role in our futuretechnology. Computer science offers more opportunities for quantum andnanotechnology systems. Soft Computing techniques such as swarm intelligence, canenable systems with desirable emergent properties. Optimization is an important anddecisive activity in structural designing. The inexpensive re...

nanosized al2o3 powder is synthesized by thermal metal organic chemical vapor deposition (mocvd)combined withplasma. the effects of reaction temperature, pressure, al(ch3)3 (tma) concentration and reactant gases (co2 and o2) on the characteristics of the synthesized al2o3 powders are investigated. the experimental results demonstrate that very fineal2o3 powders with mean particle size of about ...
