Preparation of atomically clean and flat Si(100) surfaces by low-energy ion sputtering and low-temperature annealing [PDF]
Si(100) surfaces were prepared by wet-chemical etching followed by 0.3-1.5keV Ar ion sputtering, either at elevated or room temperature. After a brief anneal under ultrahigh vacuum conditions, the resulting surfaces were examined by scanning tunneling microscopy.

Progress of research on chemical upcycling of plastic waste based on pyrolysis
The total production of global plastics is up to 400 million tons per year. Nearly 80% of the used plastics are directly landfilled or dumped in the environment, leading to the generation and release of microplastics, which poses a great threat to both ...

Application of the optimised next neighbour image cleaning method to the VERITAS array [PDF]
Imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, such as the VERITAS array, are subject to the Night Sky Background (NSB) and electronic noise, which contribute to the total signal of pixels in the telescope camera. The contribution of noise photons in event images is reduced with the application of image cleaning methods. Conventionally, high thresholds must

Influence of carrier effect on Pd/Al2O3 for methane complete catalytic oxidation
Pd/Al2O3 catalysts modified by different chemical elements (Mg, Si, Ce, and Zr) were tested for methane (CH4) catalytic combustion, and PdO nanoparticles loaded on modified Al2O3 were systematically studied. These conditions assess the carrier effects of
