Over the past years, two-dimensional materials such as graphene, phosphorene, silicene, and boron-nitride have attracted the attention of many researchers. After the successful synthesis of graphene, due to its many new applications, researches began to produce nanosheets from other elements, and among these elements, boron was one of the options. In the periodic table of elements, boron is ahe...

The healing of graphene grown from a metallic substrate is investigated using tight-binding Monte Carlo simulations. At temperatures (ranging from 1000 to 2500 K), an isolated graphene sheet can anneal a large number of defects suggesting that their healings are thermally activated. We show that in the presence of a nickel substrate we obtain a perfect graphene layer. The nickel-carbon chemical...

This Article contains typographical errors. In the caption of Figure 4, " k|| refers to the Κ-Γ-Κ direction in the reciprocal space of (Bi,Sb)2Te3 film. " should read: " k // refers to the Κ-Γ-Κ direction in the reciprocal space of (Bi,Sb) 2 Te 3 film. " In the Discussion section, " As the Te layer thickness increases, we do not detect obvious changes in the band dispersion or doping level nor ...

the mono-metallic and bi-metallic catalysts have been prepared by impregnating with solutions containing a compound of h2ptcl6,wo3 and 1ml hcl (0.1 mol). it should be noted that the catalysts’ activity and selectivity have been determined under these conditions : 450-5000c ,and 15-25atm by h2. for converting n-heptane , the molar ratio h2/c7h16 is 5 , and lhsv is 1.5ml/h. it has been proved tha...

A new single step direct-write photomask process has been proposed by using Bi/In bimetallic thermal resist which turns almost transparent with high energy laser exposure. The Bi over In metallic films, each layer ~40 nm thick, were DCsputtered onto quartz mask plate substrates in a single pump-down chamber. Before laser exposure the Bi/In had 2.91 Optical Density. Bi/In is a bimetallic thermal...

The double-skin roofs investigated in this paper are formed by adding a metallic screen on an existing sheet metal roof. The system enhances passive cooling of dwellings and can help diminishing power costs for air conditioning in summer or in tropical and arid countries. In this work, radiation, convection and conduction heat transfers are investigated. Depending on its surface properties, the...

bimetallic pt-v supported by gamma-alumina is used to observe the changes of nheptanewhen passed over this catalyst. the pt concentration was kept constant at0.1wt% while the concentration of the vanadium was 0.5wt%. the activity andselectivity of catalyst have been determined under conditions at 450-500 degreescentigrade and 15-30 attn. the experimental results show that the addition of second...

Burn injuries have been reported to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality and they are still considered as unmet clinical need. Although there is a myriad of effective stem cells that have been suggested for skin regeneration, there is no one ideal scaffold. The aim of this study was to develop a three-dimensional (3D) bi-layer scaffold made of biological decellularized human amnioti...
