Diffusion mechanism of bound Schottky defect in magnesium oxide
(American Physical Society, 2021-03-25)
In simple ionic crystals, intrinsic point defects must satisfy electrical neutrality and exist as Schottky defects.
In magnesium oxide (MgO), a Schottky defect is then a combination of anionic and cationic vacancies. ...
Corilagin and 1,3,6-Tri-O-galloyl-β -D-glucose : potential inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 variants
(2021-06-28)
The COVID-19 disease caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2, first detected in December 2019, is still
emerging through virus mutations. Although almost under control in some countries due to effective
vaccines that are mitigating ...
Engineering visible light emitting point defects in Zr-implanted polycrystalline AlN films
(American Institute of Physics, 2020-12-22)
We have investigated the impact of thermal annealing gaseous atmosphere of argon, nitrogen, and forming gas on the structural and optical properties of thin polycrystalline AlN films subjected to high-energy zirconium ions ...
A coupled 2 x 2D Babcock-Leighton solar dynamo model. II Reference dynamo solutions
(American Astronomical Society, 2017-01)
In this paper we complete the presentation of a new hybrid 2 × 2D flux transport dynamo (FTD) model of the solar
cycle based on the Babcock–Leighton mechanism of poloidal magnetic field regeneration via the surface decay ...
Insights on the effect of water content in carburizing gas mixtures on the metal dusting corrosion of iron
(Elsevier, 2021-12-07)
Constituents of syngas, such as water, carbon monoxide and sulfides, can cause the degradation of the steel pipes
they move through, leading to carbon dusting and corrosion. In spite of considerable attention to this ...
Pressure effect on diffusion of carbon at the 85.91◦ 100 symmetric tilt grain boundary of α-iron
(American Physical Society, 2021-04-19)
The diffusion mechanism of carbon in iron plays a vital role in carburization processes, steel fabrication, and metal dusting corrosion. In this paper, using the kinetic activation-relaxation technique (k-ART), an off-lattice ...
Molecular interactions of tannic acid with proteins associated with SARS-CoV-2 infectivity
(MDPI, 2022-02-27)
The overall impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on our society is unprecedented. The identification of small natural ligands that could prevent the entry and/or replication of the coronavirus ...
Zirconia-titania-doped tantala optical coatings for low mechanical loss Bragg mirrors
(American Vacuum Society, 2021-06-10)
The noise caused by internal mechanical dissipation in the high refractive index amorphous
thin films in dielectric mirrors is an important limitation for gravitational wave detection. The
objective of this study is to ...
Raman-based mapping and depth-profiling of the relaxation state in amorphous silicon
(American Institute of Physics, 2024-02-09)
We show that the micro-scale variations in the relaxation state of amorphous silicon (aSi) can be well-identified by Raman mapping over hundreds or thousands of µm2 in 1-2 hours.
Pure and relaxed a-Si is obtained by ...
Comparison of three radio-frequency discharge modes on the treatment of breast cancer cells in vitro
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019)
Non-thermal plasmas (NTPs) are known for their ability to induce thermal-free cytotoxic effects on cancer
cells. However, as the variety of NTP devices increases, comparison of their cytotoxic effect becomes increasingl ...
