Thestructure of self-assembledmonolayers (SAMs) of various fluorinateddisulfides, perfluoroalkylamide thiols, and a mixed alkyl perfluoroalkylamide disulfide on sputtered gold was studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM). AFM, performed both in air and in ethanol, revealed the monolayer structure with molecular resolutionon thepolycrystallinegoldsubstrates. Forall partially fluorinateddisulfide...

We here identify by ab initio calculations a new type of three-dimensional (3D) carbon allotropes that consist of phenyl rings connected by linear acetylenic chains in sp+sp(2) bonding networks. These structures are constructed by inserting acetylenic or diacetylenic bonds into an all sp(2)-hybridized rhombohedral polybenzene lattice, and the resulting 3D phenylacetylene and phenyldiacetylene n...

The sol–gel prepared (1-x)Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-(x) CaMnO3 (x = 0, 0.03, 0.06, 0.12) compositions show a Rhombohedral (R3c) phase up to x 0.06 while mixed rhombohedral and orthorhombic (Pnma) phases for the 0.12. lattice volume consistently decreased with an increase in content. transition temperature (Tc) compositions. room dielectric constant increased, loss 0.03 composition due decrease oxygen vaca...

Using hexagonal grids to represent digital images have been studied for more than 40 years. Increased processing capabilities of graphic devices and recent improvements in CCD technology have made hexagonal sampling attractive for practical applications and brought new interests on this topic. The hexagonal structure is considered to be preferable to the rectangular structure due to its higher ...

Rhombohedral dense forms of carbon, rh-C2 (or hexagonal h-C6), and boron nitride, rh-BN h-B3N3), are derived from rhombohedral 3R graphite based on original crystal chemistry scheme backed with full cell geometry optimization to minimal energy ground state computations within the quantum density functional theory. Considering throughout settings featuring extended lattices, calculation set elas...

Hexagonal polyominoes are polyominoes on the honeycomb lattice. We enumerate the symmetry classes of convex hexagonal polyominoes. Here convexity is to be understood as convexity along the three main column directions. We deduce the generating series of free (i.e. up to reflection and rotation) and of asymmetric convex hexagonal polyominoes, according to area and half-perimeter. We give explici...

The structure of a crystalline material may be described by a crystal lattice structure and the locations of atoms in this lattice. The crystal lattice is a 3-dimensional periodic array that defines the symmetries, i.e. shape, of the crystal. There are seven possible crystal lattices: cubic, hexagonal, tetragonal, rombohedral, orthorhombic, monoclinic and triclinic. When we define the possible ...

In our present work undoped CdS and Cu doped CdS thin films were deposited on glass substrate by chemical bath method. XRD analysis of the as-prepared sample indicated CdS:Cu nanorods to be mixture of two phases namely hexagonal and cubic. It has been observed that one particular plane (100) has preferentially grown as the maximum intense peak whereas the other two planes (101) and (102) have d...
