Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations were carried out to simulate kinetic-limited electrodeposition of a metal (M) onto an array of pre-existing metal clusters on a substrate (S) of a second conducting material. Electrochemical reaction and surface diffusion were accounted for in a KMC code which tracked deposit growth with a (2+1)-dimensional approach. Beginning with various arrangements of t...

Seed morphs of Calendula officinalis were investigated in order to examine the genetic variability which correlates with seed polymorphism and its impact on collection strategy of gene banks. The basic parameters to get the evidence were obtained from morphological data, karyotype analysis, electrophoretic pattern of seed proteins as well as nucleic acid analysis. Seven seed morphs were observe...

In synthesis in a solution phase, adsorbates such as halides can interact selectively with different metal crystal facets and affect the final morphology of nanocrystals. Pseudo-halide thiocyanate ions (SCN-) can also adsorb on the metal surface, but they have never been used for the synthesis of shape-controlled colloidal metal nanocrystals. In this study, we first investigated the effect of S...

   Zinc oxide has been considered as a promising semiconductor material for fabrication of transparent conductive oxides (TCOs), electronic devices, optoelectronics, and solar cells. Among the various morphologies of zinc oxide, nanorods are more widely used because of the ease of synthesis and providing a direct path for the transport of charge carriers. The electrochemical deposi...

walnut is a plant belongs to juglandaceae family. among 21 species, of thejuglans genus, the persian walnut (juglans regia l.) is recognized as the bestspecies. the main aim of the current research work was identification of geneticdiversity among persian walnut species in golestan province, iran. morphologicaltraits used as an approach to evaluate 96 trees which belonged to five nativepopulati...
