Nanoelectronic devices based on 2D materials are far from delivering their full theoretical
performance potential due to the lack of scalable insulators. Amorphous oxides that work …

Transparent glass ceramics (TGCs) with minimized scattering loss offer the combined
characteristics of both glasses and (transparent) ceramics. The functionalities of the …

The boson peak is an excess in the phonon vibrational density of states relative to the
Debye model. It has been observed in a wide range of amorphous materials, from inorganic …

Graphene oxide (GO) was used in this study as a template to successfully synthesize silicon
oxide (SiOx) based 2D-nanomaterials, adapting the same morphological features as the GO …

The discovery of two-dimensional (2D) materials comes at a time when computational
methods are mature and can predict novel 2D materials, characterize their properties, and …

In recent years, silica films have emerged as a novel class of two-dimensional (2D)
materials. Several groups succeeded in epitaxial growth of ultrathin SiO 2 layers using …

This work evaluated the influence of sugarcane bagasse ash addition on the performance of
red ceramics that are used to produce lightweight aggregates in Portland cement concrete …

Two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin silica films have the potential to reach technological
importance in electronics and catalysis. Several well-defined 2D-silica structures have been …

Graphene and other single-layer structures are pursued as high-flux separation membranes,
although imparting porosity endangers their crystalline integrity. In contrast, bilayer silica …

Ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS) supported by density
functional theory (DFT) calculations was used to characterize the interaction of water with …
