TL;DR: In this paper, the onset of nucleate boiling has been measured and the influence of the wettability has been quantified, as the inherent mean roughness of the glass substrates was lower than one nanometer.

Abstract: Azimuthal dihadron correlations of charged particles have been measured in PbPb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV by the CMS collaboration, using data from the 2011 LHC heavy-ion run. The data set includes a sample of ultra-central (0-0.2% centrality) PbPb events collected using a trigger based on total transverse energy in the hadron forward calorimeters and the total multiplicity of pixel clusters in the silicon pixel tracker. A total of about 1.8 million ultra-central events were recorded, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 120 μb^( − 1). The observed correlations in ultra-central PbPb events are expected to be particularly sensitive to initial-state fluctuations. The single-particle anisotropy Fourier harmonics, from v_2 to v_6, are extracted as a function of particle transverse momentum. At higher transverse momentum, the v_2 harmonic becomes significantly smaller than the higher-order v_n (n ≥ 3). The p _T-averaged v_2 and v_3 are found to be equal within 2%, while higher-order v_n decrease as n increases. The breakdown of factorization of dihadron correlations into single-particle azimuthal anisotropies is observed. This effect is found to be most prominent in the ultra-central PbPb collisions, where the initial-state fluctuations play a dominant role. A comparison of the factorization data to hydrodynamic predictions with event-by-event fluctuating initial conditions is also presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of ultrasonication parameters, such as time and power applied, to exfoliate graphite in o-dichlorobenzene (o-DCB) and N-methyl-1,2-pyrrolidone (NMP) was examined.
Abstract: The effect of ultrasonication parameters, such as time and power applied, to exfoliate graphite in o-dichlorobenzene (o-DCB) and N-methyl-1,2-pyrrolidone (NMP) was examined. It was found that the concentration of graphene was higher in o-DCB, while its dispersibility was increased when sonication was applied for a longer period and/or at higher power. However, spectroscopic examination by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that ultrasonication causes defects and induces oxygen functional groups in the form of carboxylic acids and ethers/epoxides onto the graphene lattice. Additional proof for the latter arose from Raman, IR, and thermogravimetry studies. The carboxylic acids and ethers/epoxides onto exfoliated graphene were derived from air during ultrasonication and found independent of the solvent used for the exfoliation and the power and/or time ultrasonication applied. Quantitative evaluation of the amount of oxygenated species present on exfoliated graphene as performed by high-resoluti...

TL;DR: The adsorption of carbon dioxide and methane in nanoporous carbons in the presence of water is studied and typical molecular configurations obtained indicate that the water molecules form isolated clusters within the host porous carbon due to the nonfavorable interaction between carbon dioxide or methane and water.
Abstract: The adsorption of carbon dioxide and methane in nanoporous carbons in the presence of water is studied using experiments and molecular simulations. For all amounts of adsorbed water molecules, the adsorption isotherms for carbon dioxide and methane resemble those obtained for pure fluids. The pore filling mechanism does not seem to be affected by the presence of the water molecules. Moreover, the pressure at which the maximum adsorbed amount of methane or carbon dioxide is reached is nearly insensitive to the loading of preadsorbed water molecules. In contrast, the adsorbed amount of methane or carbon dioxide decreases linearly with the number of guest water molecules. Typical molecular configurations obtained using molecular simulation indicate that the water molecules form isolated clusters within the host porous carbon due to the nonfavorable interaction between carbon dioxide or methane and water.
