Ice Nucleation and Phase Behavior on Oligo(ethylene glycol) and Hydroxyl Self-Assembled Monolayers: Simulations and Experiments
Mattias Östblom,Ramunas Valiokas,Peter Konradsson,Stefan C. T. Svensson,Bo Liedberg,Matthew Garrett,David L. Allara +6 more
TL;DR: Spectral simulations, based on optical models in conjunction with Maxwell Garnett effective medium theory, point out the importance of including voids in the modeling of the ice structures, with void fractions reaching 60% in some overlayers.

Palladium-Induced Crystallization of Germanium with Varied Palladium Thicknesses
Thanh Hoa Phung,Chunxiang Zhu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the crystal qualities of poly-Ge films are highly dependent on the thickness of Pd used, in which 55 A is the optimal thickness to induce crystallization of a 418 nm thick Ge film.
