The early stage of molecular oxygen adsorption on the Ag(100) surface was reexamined with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory. Using an oxygen-functionalized STM tip, we demonstrated that the simple interpretation of the individual objects randomly distributed over the surface as chemisorbed oxygen atoms is incompatible with the cross-shaped structures observed in atomic-resolution images in the current work. In our model, each feature is an oxide-like cross formed by two intersecting O–Ag–O–Ag–O chains, with oxygen atoms in vacancies in the Ag(100) layer. Furthermore, we found numerous oxygen-free vacancies randomly diffusing over the surface under the STM probe even at 77 K.

AIVBVI semiconductors, particularly lead chalcogenides, remain key materials for mid-wave infrared (MWIR) photodetection due to their narrow bandgap and exceptional carrier transport properties. However, the realization of high-quality p-type PbTe thin films, suitable for p–n junction devices, remains a technological challenge. In this work, we report the fabrication of high-mobility p-type PbTe thin films grown on ...

Pyramidal solitons (solitons with more than two inflection points) of the generalized Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation are investigated. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such structures are presented. Within the framework of the generalized Gardner equation — the simplest model that admits pyramidal solitons as solutions — it is shown that these solutions ...

Reaching lasing in electrically pumped microdevices based on solution-processed
semiconductors poses a substantial scientific and technological challenge. Halide
perovskites offer a promising platform for electrical injection1, as their optically
excited single-crystal cavities2–4 and predesigned5,6 or postprocessed microstructures7,8
have exhibited low lasing threshold. Indirect electrical pumping of a dual-cavity
perovskite laser was recently obtained9, using a well-established technological
concept of embedding a ...

The electric double layer (EDL) at a single-crystal metal surface is controlled not only by the electrolyte composition and the electrode potential, but also by the atomic structure of the surface itself. This makes the Ag(hkl)/NaF interface a stringent test for continuum theories of the EDL. In the third part of our series, we examine ...

Quantum dissipation is studied in the superradiant phase of the extended Dicke model. It is demonstrated analytically by quantum mechanical derivation of the Lindblad equation for the Dicke model in the superradiant state coupled to Caldeira-Leggett thermal bath that the effective viscosity appearing in the semiclassical equations of motion of polaritonic condensate survives in the zero-temperature limit ...

In this manuscript we consider a superconducting film in the vicinity of the critical temperature and presence of the proximity effect. We analytically solve the corresponding linearized Usadel equation and the self-consistency equation, defining the critical temperature. This is a system of coupled differential and integral equations for the anomalous Green's function and the order parameter of ...

A self-consistent statistical-mechanical theory of the Hall effect in electrolyte solutions is developed by extending the self-consistent Debye–Hückel–Onsager (SCDHO) framework to crossed electric and magnetic fields. The theory incorporates non-local ionic charge distributions via Slater-type form factors, regularizing the Coulomb interaction at short range, and accounts for dielectric friction through ion-specific coefficients, employing experimental values ...

The rational design of coinage metal nanocarriers requires a mechanistic understanding of metal-drug binding and predictive descriptors that translate molecular interactions into design rules. Using DFT (B3LYP-D3BJ/def2-TZVP, SMD water), we systematically investigated the binding of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and levodopa (l-DOPA) to neutral and cationic homo- and heteronuclear dimers of Au, Ag, and Cu (Au2, Ag2, ...

Large distributed sensor arrays require repeated recalibration as radiation damage, material aging, gain variation, and readout drift alter channel responses. We studied a high-granularity calorimeter as a large sensor array and addressed unsupervised recalibration from two unpaired datasets: a nominal reference response and an aged response with attenuated cell-wise signals. Aging was modeled by a ...

Electron attachment and detachment in H2O:O2 and H2O:air mixtures are theoretically studied at moderate (40–100 Td) reduced electric fields. It is shown that there are two synergistic mechanisms of ultra-rapid electron detachment from negative ions in these mixtures, whereas these detachment channels are absent in pure gases. Effective attachment coefficient calculated with consideration for fast ion–molecule ...
