We study the effect of thickness on the structural and magnetic properties of permalloy thin films, evaporated on glass substrate. The films thicknesses range from 16 to 90 nm. From X-ray diffraction spectra analysis, we show that the thinner films present a ‹1,1,1› pre...

Abstract Rarely polymer-grafted nanoparticles are shown to be able to self-assemble into stable nanostructures of different morphologies. The driving force for the assembly is a competition between a short-range attraction of the nanoparticles and long-range repulsion o...

The sustainability of energy production can be increased by combusting waste-derived solid fuels, alone or as blends with coal. This paper investigated whether two thermochemical processes (hydroth...

Abstract Engineered nano-bio cellular interfaces bring together well-defined nanoscale material morphologies with organic living systems. These extraordinarily complex interfaces are set to produce radical advances in the life sciences, through fundamental research in t...

Financial support from the European Union (EU) and the Free State of Saxony through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) (SAB GroTEGx, grant no. 100245375) are acknowledged. J.G. acknowledges the financial support from the Principality of Asturias and European U...

In situ laser diffractometry (LD) is increasingly used in oceanographic studies to estimate sediment transport, particle fluxes and to assess the concentration of marine phytoplankton. It enables an accurate characterization of the size distribution of suspended particl...

A new carbon model derived from in situ small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) enables a quantitative description of the voltage-dependent arrangement and transport of ions within the nanopores of carbon-based electric double-layer capacitors. In the first step, ex situ SA...

Since it was first demonstrated in 1987, magnetic force microscopy (MFM) has become a truly widespread and commonly used characterization technique that has been applied to a variety of research and industrial applications. Some of the main advantages of the method incl...

Abstract Twin boundary mobility is an essential prerequisite for the occurrence of magnetic field induced reversible strains in the ferromagnetic shape memory alloy Fe7Pd3. To study the behavior of twin boundaries, an abrupt movement of these structures is locally induc...

Abstract In this study, the Cu 66.5 Zr 33.5 (at%) metallic glass layers were deposited using laser melting additive manufacturing technique to investigate the effect of laser power on the deposition of CuZr metallic glass micro-wires. The Cu-based metallic glass micro-w...
