The physics and chemistry of plasma–surface interaction is a broad domain relevant to
various applications and several natural processes, including plasma etching for …

Using a range of realistic interface geometries obtained from a molecular dynamics
simulation we study the effects of different microscopic atomic arrangements on the …

Despite the numerous devoted studies, water at solid interfaces remains puzzling. An
ongoing debate concerns the nature of interfacial water at a hydrophilic surface, whether it is …

InGaN nanorods are highly desirable candidates for photoelectrochemical water splitting
photoelectrodes because of their inherent material properties. However, their use is …

A valence force field named LDHFF was systematically developed for the layered double
hydroxide (LDH) materials. Its potential function was referred from the polymer consistent …

The first wetting layer on the GaN (0001) surface has been investigated at the level of
density functional theory. Many water adsorption models have been analyzed and it is …

Discovering new materials or exploring novel applications for known materials are two
exciting research areas in nanotechnology. The significant difference between atoms' …

Ultralow wear nature of gallium nitride (GaN) has been revealed recently. The wear rate for
GaN has a significant dependence on humidity, ranging from 9× 10− 9 mm 3/Nm to 9.5× 10 …

Understanding the phonon behavior in semiconductors from a topological physics
perspective provides more opportunities to uncover extraordinary physics related to phonon …
