As a much-enriched supplement to the previous review paper entitled the “Effective work
functions for ionic and electronic emissions from mono-and polycrystalline surfaces”[Prog …

The presence of dipolar layers determines the functionality of most technologically relevant
interfaces. The present contribution reviews how periodic dipole assemblies modify the …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were executed to clarify origins of the experimentally-
observed high interfacial resistivity against the O 2 permeation through the Nafion ionomer …

Sparse matter is abundant and has both strong local bonds and weak nonbonding forces, in
particular nonlocal van der Waals (vdW) forces between atoms separated by empty space. It …

We present a comparative van der Waals density-functional (vdW-DF) study of graphene
adsorbed on (111) surfaces of Ni, Cu, Pd, Ag, Au, and Pt, using the second version of vdW …

In this paper we present recent studies concerning gas sensors based on carbon nanotube
field effect transistors (CNTFETs). Although these devices have allowed one to realize …

Over the past three decades, a number of studies have been undertaken to characterize the
interactions of gases and chemical species with semiconductors as well as to develop useful …

Impacts of water, methanol, and hexadecane solvents on the individual steps of phenol
hydrodeoxygenation are investigated over Pd/C and HZSM-5 catalyst components at 473 K …

Density functional theory calculations were performed to investigate the adsorption of
propane, propene, and C and H atoms on Pt and PtSn surfaces employing the revised …

The effective work functions (ϕ+, ϕe and ϕ−) for positive-ionic, electronic, and negative-ionic
emissions from mono-and polycrystalline surfaces are surveyed comprehensively and also …
