Cellular automaton version of the AB2 reaction model obeying proper stoichiometry
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 1991-08-07)
The cellular-automaton (CA) AB2 surface-reaction model of Chopard and Droz (1988) is modified so that the proper stoichiometry in both the B2 adsorption and the AB reaction is followed. Simulations show that the first-order ...
Multifunctional layer-by-layer carbon nanotube–polyelectrolyte thin films for strain and corrosion sensing
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2007-04-01)
Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes, researchers have been fascinated by their mechanical and electrical properties, as well as their versatility for a wide array of applications. In this study, a carbon nanotube–pol ...
Approach to the glass transition studied by higher order correlation functions
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2003-08-13)
We present a theoretical framework based on a higher order density correlation function, analogous to that used to investigate spin glasses, to describe dynamical heterogeneities in simulated glass-forming liquids. These ...
Simulation study of cyclic-tethered nanocube self-assemblies: effect of tethered nanocube architectures
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2007-03-21)
Self-assembly of functionalized nano building blocks (NBBs) is a promising avenue for ‘bottom-up’ nanomaterials design. Experimental studies on functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanocubes have ...
Intact-protein based sample preparation strategies for proteome analysis in combination with mass spectrometry
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2005-05)
The complexity of tissue and cell proteomes and the vast dynamic range of protein abundance present a formidable challenge for analysis that no one analytical technique can overcome. As a result, there is a need to integrate ...
Successive ionic layer deposition (SILD) as a new sensor technology: synthesis and modification of metal oxidesThis article was presented at the 13th International Conference on Sensors and Their Applications, held in Chatham, Kent, on 6–7 September 2005.
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2006-07-01)
In this paper, we have discussed both peculiarities and advantages of successive ionic layer deposition (SILD) methods for the synthesis and modification of metal oxides. For these purposes, the results of research into ...
Successive ionic layer deposition: possibilities for gas sensor applications
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2005-01-01)
In this paper we discuss results of research related to design of successive ionic layer deposition (SILD) technology for both preparing porous nano-structured SnO2 films, and surface modification of SnO2 films deposited ...
Cost-effective thermal isolation techniques for use on microfabricated DNA amplification and analysis devices
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2005-01-01)
In this paper, we describe the design, construction and operation of two low cost thermal isolation techniques on a microfabricated DNA amplification and analysis device. The thermal conduit technique is based on a selective ...
Surface-modified polyolefin microfluidic devices for liquid handling
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2005-11-01)
Polymer-based microfluidic devices offer an attractive platform for single-use disposable applications due to their low cost, ease of fabrication and good biocompatibility. In this work, we investigated liquid handling in ...
