The growth of mixed cobalt-iron oxides on Ru(0001) by high-temperature oxygen-assisted molecular beam epitaxy has been monitored in real time and real space by x-ray absorption photoemission microscopy. The initial composition is a mixed…

We have modified Ti6Al4V at the micro and nanoscale by using ion beam irradiation with 5 MeV Si⁺ ions through 1D micromasks. The passivation layer on irradiated areas inhibits hydrofluoric acid induced etching, leading to pitting contrasts…

The electronic properties of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) can be precisely tuned by chemical doping. Here we demonstrate that amino (NH₂) functional groups attached at the edges of chiral GNRs (chGNRs) can efficiently gate the chGNRs…

La síntesis de arquitecturas covalentes en superficie y con precisión atómica se ha erigido como uno de los métodos más prometedores para dotar de nuevas funcionalidades al grafeno, un material ya de por si superlativo en múltiples aspectos…

Nanoporous solids that stabilize trapped gas nanobubbles open new possibilities to fabricate solid targets for nuclear reactions. A methodology is described based on the magnetron sputtering (MS) technique operated under quasistatic flux…

Continuous epitaxial graphene (EG) films have been grown on polished surfaces of dense polycrystalline SiC ceramics by heating in a Spark Plasma Sintering furnace (SPS). The confining of the sample into a graphite die and the use of a high…

A physically unclonable function (PUF) is a physical system that cannot be reproduced or predicted and therefore is a good basis on which to build security and anticounterfeiting applications. The unclonability of PUFs typically stems from the randomness induced…

A radial polarization converter is a super-structured optical retarder that converts a conventional linearly polarized light beam into a structured beam with radial or azimuthal polarization. We present a new type of these sophisticated optical elements, which is made of porous nanostructured…
