We present the energetics, structural and electronic properties of SnS2 monolayer stacked with MoS2 and WS2 monolayers making the van der Waals hetero-layers using the first-principles methods. The exchange-correlation ...

The increase in waste tyres has led scientist in the quest for finding various ways for minimizing problems associated with their disposal. The sought solutions are not only meant to be environmentally friendly but also ...

In this study, two waste materials namely; coal fly ash (CFA) and waste tyres pyrolysis oil, were successfuly utilized in the synthesis of carbon nanofibers/tubes (CNF/Ts). In addition, Fe-rich CFA magnetic fraction (Mag-CFA) ...

The migration behaviour of cadmium (Cd) implanted into glassy carbon and the effects of annealing on radiation damage introduced by ion implantation were investigated. The glassy carbon substrates were implanted with Cd ...

Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations study of Cu doped {0001} and {01-12} surfaces of hematite for enhanced water splitting have been carried out. The doping was restricted to planes in the vicinity of the surface, ...

This work presents the effect of different contents of graphene foam (GF) on the electrochemical capacitance of nickel phosphate Ni3(PO4)2 nano-rods as an electrode material for hybrid electrochemical energy storage ...

We have studied the defects introduced in n-type 4H-SiC during sputter deposition of tungsten using deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). Current-voltage and capacitance-voltage measurements showed a deterioration of ...

The concept of balance between two state-preserving quantum Markov semigroups on von Neumann algebras is introduced and studied as an extension of conditions appearing in the theory of quantum detailed balance. This is ...
