Immobilization of single argon atoms in nano-cages of two-dimensional zeolite model systems

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
While noble gases can be trapped in 3D porous structures, immobilizing them on 2D surfaces represents a formidable challenge. Here, the authors cage individual argon atoms in 2D model zeolite frameworks at room temperature, providing exciting ...

Elucidating the Role of Surface Ligands on the Oxidative Etching of Au Bipyramids During Photothermia Using Liquid Cell Transmission Electron Microscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Gold bipyramids can act as efficient plasmonic nanoheaters, but they often reshape during laser heating. This study shows that oxygen nanobubbles drive oxidative etching and that surface ligands control stability. CTAB‐ and citrate‐coated particles blunt and lose optical performance, whereas polystyrene sulfonate preserves shape and heating by ...

Strain weakening and superplasticity in a Bi-Sn eutectic alloy processed by high-pressure torsion

open access: yes, 2014
High-pressure torsion (HPT) was conducted on disks of a Bi-Sn eutectic alloy under a pressure of 6.0 GPa. The microstructural evolution was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Measurements of Vickers
