Theoretical analysis and Computer simulations have proven to be cost-effective and powerful tools in scientific studies of materials, particularly at nano-scale where synthesis of nano-structures, interpretation of their observed character and exploration of new structures are not always straight forward. We present here fundamental principles of techniques used today for computational simulati...

Developed nanostructured innovative carbon materials (nano graphite) have a unique combination of properties. These include: high electronic conductivity, magnetic properties, level adhesion and cohesion low density. Using these properties nano graphite allow fabricating the electrode for batteries without binder, effectively modifying electrodes, which affect mechanism redox electrochemical pr...

the surface and interfacial analysis of silicon oxide film on silicon substrate is particularly crucial in the nano-electronic devices. for this purpose, series of experiments have been demonstrated to grow oxide film on si (111) substrate. then these films have been used to study the structure of the film by using x-ray photo emission spectroscopy (xps) technique. the obtained results indicate...
