Abstract Carbon Dots (CDs) in the recent years have been found to exhibit exceptional thermal stability. The superior nature CDs demonstrate their physical, chemical, optical and conductive properties together with low cytotoxicity make them a true contender conventional inorganic counterparts. In this study traditional thermodynamic that support high stability of investigated. has relationship...

Recent years have seen a tremendous progress in the microscopic theoretical treatment of surfaces and processes on surfaces. While some decades ago a phenomenological thermodynamic approach was dominant, a variety of surface properties can now be described from first principles, i.e. without invoking any empirical parameters. Consequently, the field of theoretical surface science is no longer l...
