This paper analyses a CO2 capture system based on calcium looping, designed for power
plants that operate with very low capacity factors and large load fluctuations, including shut …

Two different formalisms for the homogenization of composite materials containing
ellipsoidal inclusions based on Bruggeman's original formula for spherical inclusions can be …

Spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) is a powerful technique for the characterization of materials,
which is able to probe in a sensitive way their nanostructure as well as to get rich information …

Nanostructures represent a frontier where meticulous attention to the control and
assessment of structural dimensions becomes a linchpin for their seamless integration into …

Abstract Effects of spatial ordering of molecules on surfaces are commonly utilized to deposit
ultra-thin films with a thickness of a few nm. In this review paper, several methods are …

We find that a five-phase (substrate, mixed native oxide and roughness interface layer, metal
oxide thin film layer, surface ligand layer, ambient) model with two-dynamic (metal oxide thin …

Graphene is a basic building block for many known and emerging carbon-based materials
whose properties largely depend on the way how graphene is structured at the nanoscale …

Three-dimensional inorganic nanostructured thin films with slanted columnar morphologies
are functionalized with organic polymer brushes to fabricate a nanohybrid functional …

We apply generalized ellipsometry, well-known to be sensitive to the optical properties of
anisotropic materials, to determine the amount of fibronectin protein that adsorbs onto a Ti …

Measuring the interactions between engineered nanoparticles and natural substrates (eg
soils and sediments) has been very challenging due to highly heterogeneous and rough …
