A facile sol–gel synthesis for self-agglomeration of metallic silver nanoparticles, with fcc
crystalline structure, on the silica surface in a low annealing temperature has been …

We have used scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES)
and X‐ray Photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to investigate the formation of nanoscopic …

The surface morphology of yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ)(100) single crystals are examined
by AFM and XPS before and after thermal annealing in air to 1000° C. The surfaces show a …

SiC nanocrystals are grown at high temperature on Si (100) and Si (111) surfaces starting
from a chemisorbed layer of methanol. The decomposition of this layer allows to have a well …

Strongly-enhanced desorption of a thick (100nm) silicon oxide layer by the pre-sputtering of
a thin germanium surface film was observed under high-temperature vacuum annealing …

The growth of silicon carbide nanocrystals on Si (100) is studied by synchrotron surface X-
ray diffraction (SXRD) during annealing at high temperature. A chemisorbed methanol …

The growth of 3C-SiC nano-crystal (NC) on 10° miscut Si (001) substrate by CO 2 thermal
treatment is investigated by scanning and high resolution transmission electron …

The formation and subsequent time-evolution of silicon carbide nanocrystals grown on a
silicon surface by high-temperature vacuum annealing was investigated, with the effects of …

We report the assembly of carbon nanodots aligned on the sharp step edges of Si (111)-7×
7 reconstruction surface. The self-assembled and well-aligned pyramid-like carbon nanodot …

The formation of dots by CVD in the hetero-system SiC-Si was studied in the two possible
ways: Si dots on SiC substrate and SiC dots on Si substrate. The substrates underwent …
