Formation of Molybdenum Oxide Nano-whiskers during Heating Compressed Powder

In this study the synthesis of molybdenum oxide nano-whiskers with circular cross-section is performed. In some areas, it was observed that also some whiskers have open tips exhibiting their hollow structures. These whiskers have side dimensions ranging 2-5 μm with an average diameter in the nanometer rang. The structure suggested the vapor-liquid-solid growth mechanism (VLS). Scanning elect...

Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of shock compressed quartz.

Atomistic non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of shock wave compression of quartz have been performed using the so-called BKS semi-empirical potential of van Beest, Kramer, and van Santen [Phys. Rev. B 43, 5068 (1991)] to construct the Hugoniot of quartz. Our scheme mimics the real world experimental set up by using a flyer-plate impactor to initiate the shock wave and is the first s...
