Understanding the structural origin of the anomalous properties of SiO 2 liquid and glass is fundamental not only in physics, but also in geophysics, in understanding the nature of silicate magmas in ...

Stampfer and Reichardt 2 questioned why we used the Gruneisen parameter for uniaxial strain. We believe that using the value for uniaxial strain is dictated by the nature of the substrate. Being ...

Physicists have discovered unexpected effects in doped graphene. They investigated samples of the carbon compound enriched with the foreign atom nitrogen on various substrate materials. Unwanted ...

The magnetic properties of cobalt atoms lying on the surface of graphene can be controlled by the choice of substrate under the graphene sheet. This unexpected discovery has been made by physicists in ...

New research has detailed the subtle interplay between carbon and substrate atoms in the growth of graphene. The results may lead to finer control over the growth of graphene films for applications.

Optical Components are manufactured from a wide range of substrates, and the very materials they're fabricated from dictate their suitability for specific tasks. Here, Knight Optical – the leading ...

The only catch? Graphene didn’t naturally grow on the insulating substrates absolutely necessary to incorporate it into electronic devices. Instead, it crystallized readily on metals incompatible with ...
