Nanotechnology has transformed the world with its diverse applications, ranging from
industrial developments to impacting our daily lives. It has multiple applications throughout …

This review will show that low-CO 2 cements can be produced to give superior durability,
based on a sound understanding of their microstructure and how it impacts macro …

In this work we show using atomistic simulations that the biased diffusion in high electric
field gradients creates a mechanism whereby nanotips may start growing from small surface …

Growth of organic thin films using physical vapor deposition typically follows a three-
dimensional mode, resulting in a rough surface, which undermines their application …

We present a novel in situ liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy (TEM) approach to
study the behavior of metal nanoparticles under high-energy electron irradiation. By utilizing …

Oriented attachment processes between nanocrystals provide a promising route for the
synthesis of mesocrystals that, although made of the same elements as their usual crystal …

Quintessential parameters for needle tip-based electron sources are the work function, the
tip apex radius, and the field reduction factor. They determine the static emission properties …

We investigate the influence of a static electric field on the incoherent nonlinear response of
an unloaded electrically contacted nanoscale optical gap antenna. Upon excitation by a …

Compared with inorganic ferroelectrics, organic ferroelectrics have advantages of low cost
and low toxicity, are in increasing demand in capacitors, piezoelectric, and memory devices …

It is well known that an elevated temperature can induce surface melting and surface
roughening of metals [1]. Apart from elevated temperatures, also intense electric fields can …
