Size-Dependent Melting Properties of Small Tin Particles: Nanocalorimetric Measurements.

TL;DR: The latent heat of fusion for Sn particles formed by evaporation on inert substrate with radii ranging from 5 to 50 nm has been measured directly using a novel scanning nanocalorimeter and a particle-size-dependent reduction of $\ensuremath{\Delta}{H}_{m}$ has been observed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Growth of semiconducting graphene on palladium.

TL;DR: In situ scanning tunneling microscopy studies of graphene growth on Pd(111) during ethylene deposition at temperatures between 723 and 1023 K point to the possibility of preparing semiconducting graphene layers for future carbon-based nanoelectronic devices via direct deposition onto strongly interacting substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interface structure in superhard TiN-SiN nanolaminates and nanocomposites: Film growth experiments and ab initio calculations

TL;DR: In this article, the nature of the internal interfaces of a nanostructured material is defined by internal interfaces, which are largely unknown, and the interfaces determine the propert...

Moiré superstructures of graphene on faceted nickel islands.

TL;DR: The morphology and electronic structure of monolayer graphene grown on the (111) and (110) facets of three-dimensional nickel islands on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite substrate point to the possibility of preparing large-area epitaxial graphene layers even on polycrystalline Ni substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scanning calorimeter for nanoliter-scale liquid samples

TL;DR: In this paper, a scanning calorimeter was introduced for use with a single solid or liquid sample with a volume down to a few nanoliters, which was demonstrated with the melting of 52 nL of indium, using heating rates from 100 to 1000 K/s.
