Tuning the surface state dimensionality of Cu nanostripes.
Stepped Cu nanostripes with varying terrace widths are self-assembled during Ag-induced periodic faceting of vicinal Cu(111). By changing Ag coverage the average terrace size within individual Cu stripes is readily tuned, making it possible to select the one-dimensional or two-dimensional character of surface states. Furthermore, the average terrace size can be smoothly switched from 10 to 30 A...
متن کاملInteractions between Fluctuating Steps on Vicinal Surfaces: Edge Energy Effects in Reconstruction Induced Faceting
Surface reconstruction can generate effective attractive interactions between steps on vicinal surfaces, leading to the formation of step bunches. Modified repulsive interactions arise from the fluctuations of a step in the asymmetric environment at the edge of the step bunch. These are determined by a mapping to the ground state energy of a quantum particle between two rigid walls in an extern...
متن کاملGraphene-induced unusual microstructural evolution in Ag plated Cu foils.
Graphene-induced abnormal grain growth of Cu with a grain size of more than 1 mm(2) was observed on Cu-Ag alloy foil, and this phenomenon occurred only with graphene synthesis and only on the Cu-Ag alloy among various types of Cu foils.
متن کاملTENSILE TESTING OF FREE-STANDING Cu, Ag AND Al THIN FILMS AND Ag/Cu MULTILAYERS
ÐFree standing polycrystalline thin ®lms with a strong h111i texture were tested in uniaxial tension. Studied were electron-beam deposited Ag, Cu and Al ®lms, and Ag/Cu multilayers consisting of alternating Ag and Cu layers of equal thickness, between 1.5 nm and 1.5 mm (bilayer repeat length, l, between 3 nm and 3 mm). The ®lms had a total thickness of about 3 mm. A thin polymeric two-dimension...
متن کاملForces Driving Chaperone Action
It is still unclear what molecular forces drive chaperone-mediated protein folding. Here, we obtain a detailed mechanistic understanding of the forces that dictate the four key steps of chaperone-client interaction: initial binding, complex stabilization, folding, and release. Contrary to the common belief that chaperones recognize unfolding intermediates by their hydrophobic nature, we discove...
