This paper reviews the fundamental concepts and the terminology of wetting. In particular, it
focuses on high temperature wetting phenomena of primary interest to materials scientists …

Palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) synthesized within yeast
biomass can be effectively preserved in yeast biochar while maintaining their catalytic …

Inspired by nature, green chemistry uses various biomolecules, such as proteins, as
reducing agents to synthesize metallic nanostructures. This methodology provides an …

We investigated the dependence of the magnetic response from epitaxial Si-rich iron-silicide
nanostructures on their geometry. By varying substrate orientation and deposition …

A model catalyst system of Pt nanoparticles (2–5 nm) dispersed on γ-Al2O3 (111) was
prepared to study the support effects on nanoparticles shape and structure by cross …

It is necessary to control the size, shape, and uniformity of self-assembled and self-
organized nanocrystals in order to use them in real devices. The way to achieve this in …

Self-organized transition-metal (Ni and Fe) and rare-earth (Er) silicide nanostructures were
grown on Si (1 1 1) and Si (0 0 1) surfaces under low coverage conditions, in a “solid phase” …

We used solid phase (SPE) and reactive deposition (RDE) epitaxy to grow
crystallographically identical–but morphologically different–islands. Tetragonal α-FeSi 2 …

We present the preparation of C54 TiSi2 nanoislands on Si (111) with a method of the
pulsed laser deposition of titanium oxide thin films. The TiO2 thin films with nominal …

The deposition of several monolayers of cobalt on germanium (001) substrates results in the
formation of two types of clusters: flat-topped and peaked nanocrystals. Scanning tunneling …
