Surface Properties of Suberin [PDF]
The surface energy of suberin was determined by four different methods, namely, (i) contact angle measurements, (ii) Wilhelmy plate measurements, (iii) maximum bubble pressure, and (iv) inverse gas chromatography (IGC). The first three methods gave a gammasub value in the range 40-50 mN m-1 at room temperature.

Termination dependence of the surface states in Pb$_{2}$Pd [PDF]
Topological properties of systems lead to the emergence of surface states which can be observed experimentally within the angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements. Recently, the topological properties of Pb$_{2}$Pd were reported. In this paper, we discuss the role of the surface termination on the realized surface states.
