2012 brought the first reports of a new member of the 2D material family: a hexagonal honeycomb of Si atoms deposited on the Ag(111) surface called “silicene”[1]. The characteristics and stability of freestanding silicene had previously been theoretically explored [2], and there was a strong push to determine if the epitaxial sheets possessed the promising qualities of their hypothetical...

Two common ways to store hydrogen are in the liquid and gaseous forms. However, both of these technique present serious drawbacks for many practical applications because they necessitate either a very low temperature (20 K) or a high pressure (700 bar). Another way to store hydrogen...Go to contribution page

Le stockage d'hydrogène basé sur les matériaux constitue un moyen efficace de réduire les exigences thermodynamiques afin d'atteindre des densités de stockage importantes pour les systèmes énergétiques. Par exemple, la...Go to contribution page

With the sample maintained at room temperature, we observed a rapid decline in hydrogen concentration during the measurement, indicative of beam-induced hydrogen detrapping and mobility. It appears that the hydrogen concentration falls off as a simple...Go to contribution page

Fluorescence of single dipole emitters near a dielectric interface are studied. A 15 nm thick layer of polystyrene lightly doped with Rhodamine 6G was spin-cast onto cleaned glass and PMMA coated glass slides. Flourescence lifetime was found to increase by a factor of three as the PMMA spacer layer thickness was increased. This lifetime increase is accounted for by a change in the ensemble...
