The authors propose and demonstrate that thermal laser evaporation can be applied to all solid, nonradioactive elements in the periodic table. By depositing thin films, they achieve growth rates exceeding 1 Å/s with output powers less than 500 W using identical beam parameters for many different elements. source temperature is found vary linearly power within examined range. High are possible f...

The effects of weather are manifested in an organism-environment relationship through the mediu m of thermal or h eat exchange_ Meteorological param eters alone may be quite meaningless when used in interpreting animal responses because weather instruments do not respond to the thermal regime of the atmosphere in the same way that a living organism does _ Further, weather instruments are often ...

Evaporation is ubiquitous in nature. This process influences the climate, the formation of clouds, transpiration in plants, the survival of arctic organisms, the efficiency of car engines, the structure of dried materials and many other phenomena. Recent experiments discovered two novel mechanisms accompanying evaporation: temperature discontinuity at the liquid–vapour interface during evaporat...

Li Thermal Evaporation In article number 2203256, Egy Adhitama, Aurora Gomez-Martin, and co-workers evaluate the practical applicability of thermal evaporation as a pre-lithiation technique on powder-based Si in both metal cells full-cell setup with lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2, NCM-811). This study deeply discusses significant consequences electrode capacity balan...

One-dimensional (1D) semiconducting nanoscale materials have attracted considerable attention because of their importance in understanding the fundamental properties of low dimensionality in materials as well as in nanodevice applications. Many methods, including vapor–liquid–solid (VLS), vapor–solid (VS), and solution-based, have been developed to synthesize 1D semiconducting nanoscale materia...

A LabVIEW 2009-based remote and process control program for an ultra-high vacuum system and a variety of surface science experiments is presented. The apparatus consists of five individual recipients for sample preparation, surface analysis, scanning tunneling microscopy and a central chamber connecting them by means of gate-valves. All processes like electron-beam heating, ion sputtering, gas ...

To reveal the mechanism of energy storage in the water/graphene system and water/grapheme-oxide system, the processes of rapid evaporation of water molecules on the sheets of graphene and graphene-oxide are investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. The results show that both the water/graphene and water/grapheme-oxide systems can store more energy than the pure water system during evapora...
