TL;DR: The model rationalizes the diverse growth modes observed in pulsed laser deposition of SrRuO3 on SrTiO3 and predicts the existence of concurrent step bunching and island formation, a new growth mode that competes with step flow for phase space, and shows that the deposition flux and temperature must be chosen within a window to achieve persistent step flow.

TL;DR: In this paper, the growth mechanism of the nanowire assemblies is discussed and branching-growth and batch-growth phenomena were observed in the samples and were believed to be responsible for the formation of the unique morphologies described here.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report four-probe I-V measurements on individual vertically aligned carbon nanofibers (VACNFs), enabled by the fabrication of multiple Ti/Au ohmic contacts on individual fibers that exhibited resistance of only a few kilohms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the initial stages of epitaxial growth of c-axis-perpendicular laser-ablated (YBCO) thin films were studied by scanning tunneling microscopy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the fabrication and operation of integrated gated field emission devices using single vertically aligned carbon nanofiber (VACNF) cathodes where the gate aperture has been formed using a self-aligned technique based on chemical mechanical polishing was reported.
