- ItemControlled assembly of graphene-capped nickel, cobalt and iron silicides(London : Nature Publishing Group, 2013) Vilkov, O.; Fedorov, A.; Usachov, D.; Yashina, L.V.; Generalov, A.V.; Borygina, K.; Verbitskiy, N.I.; Grüneis, A.; Vyalikh, D.V.In-situ dendrite/metallic glass matrix composites (MGMCs) with a composition of Ti46Zr20V12Cu5Be17 exhibit ultimate tensile strength of 1510 MPa and fracture strain of about 7.6%. A tensile deformation model is established, based on the five-stage classification: (1) elastic-elastic, (2) elastic-plastic, (3) plastic-plastic (yield platform), (4) plastic-plastic (work hardening), and (5) plastic-plastic (softening) stages, analogous to the tensile behavior of common carbon steels. The constitutive relations strongly elucidate the tensile deformation mechanism. In parallel, the simulation results by a finite-element method (FEM) are in good agreement with the experimental findings and theoretical calculations. The present study gives a mathematical model to clarify the work-hardening behavior of dendrites and softening of the amorphous matrix. Furthermore, the model can be employed to simulate the tensile behavior of in-situ dendrite/MGMCs.
- ItemTunneling current modulation in atomically precise graphene nanoribbon heterojunctions(London : Nature Publishing Group, 2021) Senkovskiy, B.; Nenashev, A.; Alavi, S.; Falke, Y.; Hell, M.; Bampoulis, P.; Rybkovskiy, D.; Usachov, D.; Fedorov, A.; Chernov, A.; Gebhard, F.; Meerholz, K.; Hertel, D.; Arita, M.; Okuda, T.; Miyamoto, K.; Shimada, K.; Fischer, F.; Michely, T.; Baranovskii, S.; Lindfors, K.; Szkopek, T.; Grüneis, A.Lateral heterojunctions of atomically precise graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) hold promise for applications in nanotechnology, yet their charge transport and most of the spectroscopic properties have not been investigated. Here, we synthesize a monolayer of multiple aligned heterojunctions consisting of quasi-metallic and wide-bandgap GNRs, and report characterization by scanning tunneling microscopy, angle-resolved photoemission, Raman spectroscopy, and charge transport. Comprehensive transport measurements as a function of bias and gate voltages, channel length, and temperature reveal that charge transport is dictated by tunneling through the potential barriers formed by wide-bandgap GNR segments. The current-voltage characteristics are in agreement with calculations of tunneling conductance through asymmetric barriers. We fabricate a GNR heterojunctions based sensor and demonstrate greatly improved sensitivity to adsorbates compared to graphene based sensors. This is achieved via modulation of the GNR heterojunction tunneling barriers by adsorbates.
