Nanoscience and nanotechnology are tremendously increasing fields of research that aim at
producing, characterizing and understanding nanoobjects and assemblies of nanoobjects …

The concept of coupling a nanometer or subnanometer scale oxide phase to a metal surface
to form a metal–oxide hybrid material with novel properties is an attractive approach in the …

Covering the key theories, tools, and techniques of this dynamic field, Handbook of
Nanophysics: Principles and Methods elucidates the general theoretical principles and …

X-ray standing waves generated by the interference of the scattered x rays from parallel
surfaces of a thin film, the so-called waveguide effect, can be used to enhance or reduce the …

Oxide materials at the two-dimensional limit, in particular in the form of ultrathin films of
oxides (UTOx) grown on metal surfaces, represent promising materials in view of both …

Nanometer-sized liquid droplets formed at temperatures below the bulk melting point
become supercooled as they grow through Ostwald ripening or coalescence and can be …

We consider both theoretically and experimentally self-organization process of quasi-
equilibrium steady-state condensation of sputtered substance in accumulative ion-plasma …

Circumventing the thermodynamic trend of 3D growth of noble metals on dielectric
substrates to form smooth, continuous ultra-thin films remains a challenge for many …

The morphology of silver nanoparticles supported on MgO smoke crystallites was studied by
combining Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and atomistic simulations of clusters of …

The growth of platinum film on MgO (001) was analyzed in a combined experimental and
theoretical study. Experiments were performed by grazing-incidence x-ray diffraction at small …
