The energy of fcc and hcp foams
(2020)We present Surface Evolver evaluations of the difference in energy between face-centred cubic (fcc) and hexagonal close-packed (hcp) foams in the usual idealized model, for liquid fractions ranging from the dry to the wet ... -
Enhancing the mechanical properties of BN nanosheet-polymer composites by uniaxial drawing
(2014)We have used liquid exfoliation of hexagonal Boron-Nitride (BN) to prepare composites of BN nanosheets of three different sizes in polyvinylchloride matrices. These composites show low levels of reinforcement, consistent ... -
"Modelling of Atomic Imaging and Evaporation in the field Ion Microscope"
(2011)Imaging and evaporation of atoms in the field ion microscope (FIM) has been modelled by using finite difference methods to calculate the voltage distribution around a tip and hence the electric field strength experienced ... -
Nonlinear Optical Properties of Graphene and Carbon Nanotube Composites
(InTech Europe, 2011)The rapid development of nanoscience and nanotechnology provides lots of new opportunities for nonlinear optics. A growing number of nanomaterials have been shown to possess remarkable nonlinear optical (NLO) properties, ... -
Production of Molybdenum Trioxide Nanosheets by Liquid Exfoliation and Their Application in High-Performance Supercapacitors
(2014)Here, we demonstrate a simple method to exfoliate layered molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) crystallites to give multilayer MoO3 nanosheets dispersed in solvents. Exfoliation is achieved by sonicating MoO3 powder in the presence ...
