Surfaces mediate the formation of stable glasses (SGs) upon physical vapor deposition
(PVD) for a wide range of glass formers. The thermodynamic and kinetic stability of SGs and …

Interfaces of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are important for both applications and
basic science and are therefore intensely studied. However, the evolution of their interface …

The free surface of water and the interface between water and a hydrophobic surface both
have positive interface energies. The water density near a free surface drops below the bulk …

Abstract Atomic Layer Deposition technique was used to grow high quality, very low
roughness, crystalline, Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin films on silicon (Si) and fused quartz (SiO 2) …

The effect of the temperature on the surface layering of ionic liquids has been studied for two
ionic liquids, trioctylmethylammonium bis (nonafluorobutanesulfonyl) amide …

The nanosegregated bulk structure, and its evolution with the cation's alkyl length n, are
studied by X-ray scattering for an unprecedentedly broad homologous series of a model …

ZnO thin films with very low surface roughness and bulklike electron density were grown on
Si and SiO 2 by atomic layer deposition. The real and imaginary parts of the complex …

Structures near liquid surfaces have intrigued researchers from various disciplines such as
physics, chemistry, and biology for more than a century. Unlike solid surfaces, liquid …

The structure of the liquid Hg/sapphire interface was measured with angstrom-scale
resolution by high-energy X-ray reflectivity. The atomic Hg layering found at the interface is …

Decorating emulsion droplets by particles stabilizes foodstuff and pharmaceuticals.
Interfacial particles also influence aerosol formation, thus impacting atmospheric CO2 …
