Here, we report on the successful design, construction, and performance of membranes constructed using the mLbL process and show that these membranes exceed the performance of membranes synthesized through conventional interfacial polymerization. In our

Structure stability and electronic transport of gold nanowires on BeO (0001) surface

July 12, 2013
Author(s)
Shmuel Barzilai, Francesca M. Tavazza, Lyle E. Levine
Gold nanowire chains are considered a good candidate for nanoelectronics devices since they exhibit remarkable structural and electrical properties. For practical engineering devices, -wurtzite BeO may be a useful platform for supporting these nanowires

A highly ordered non-crystalline metallic phase
