Hierarchical assemblies of CaMoO4 (CM) nano-octahedrons were obtained by microwave-
assisted hydrothermal synthesis at 120° C for different times. These structures were …

Rayleigh–Bénard convection in finite-size enclosures exhibits really intricate features when
turbulent states are reached and thermal plumes play a crucial role in a number of them …

Heterostructured nanomaterials have attracted increasing interest because of their novel
and distinct optical and electrical properties, finding applications in devices and chemical …

In the present work, a combined theoretical and experimental study was performed on the
structure, optical properties, and growth of Ag nanoparticles in metastable β-Ag2WO4 …

Nanotechnology is a relatively new field that can be employed to deliver substantial
advances in most disciplines. Nanoparticles and nanostructures are of particular interest as …

MgTiO3 (MTO) thin films were prepared by the polymeric precursor method with posterior
spin-coating deposition. The films were deposited on Pt (111)/Ti/SiO2/Si (100) substrates …

Europium-doped calcium titanate nanophosphors were synthesized by the polymeric
precursor method (PPM) at different temperatures. X-ray absorption near edge structure …

The engineering and control of systems of monodispersed polyhedral nanoparticles are
important for the development of devices based on size and shape-dependent properties …

We have used a level set construction to simulate the growth of faceted polycrystalline thin
films in 2+ 1 dimensions using the van der Drift model. The evolution of several different …

We describe an analytic model for polycrystalline thin film growth based on competition
between grains with conic geometries. This model is valid for all film thicknesses and is …
