Adsorption at the nanoparticle interface for increased thermal capacity in solar thermal systems
… of the CSP systems, adsorption energy at the liquid-solid interface was investigated as a mechanism for increased thermal capacity. Solid ceramic nanoparticles were dispersed in several molten salts at 1-2% by mass with diameters ranging from 5 nm to 15 nm to provide a significant available …

Effect of electric fields on the synthesis of nanoparticles of tin and silicon in a liquid environment
… method, a pulsed laser beam was focused onto a solid target of either silicon or tin and the laser beam ablated the target at the liquid-solid interface. The laser beam vaporizes the target material forming a plasma plume which contains ions, electrons, nanoparticles, and nano clusters. High …

Detection of Antibody-Antigen Reactions using Surface Acoustic Wave and Electrochemical Immunosensors
… fields and the electrical double layer near the liquid-solid interface will also be discussed. Finally, the antibody affinities can be also measured with both SAW and electrochemical sensors, indicating a high potential in clinical application.

Droplet-based Two-phase Thermal Management
… as the entrapped bubble reduces the total liquid-solid interface area. After studying the droplet impact under non-boiling conditions, I continue to explore the droplet impact on a heated post in the nucleate boiling and Leidenfrost regimes to investigate the influence of the surface …

Multiscale Insights into Molecular Interfaces: STM Imaging and Ultrafast Laser-Induced Dynamics
… self-assembly and ultrafast dynamics at interfaces by integrating high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) with advanced spectroscopic and ultrafast laser techniques. Focusing on cyclopentadienyltricarbonylmolybdenum dimer (CPTCMD) as a model metallocene, the study demonstrates …

Active and Passive Transport at Interfaces
… we studied different forms of transport at interfaces. Four different interfacial transport mechanisms have been investigated. In each of them one physical aspect of active and passive transport is discussed. The four systems are arranged and discussed in four separate chapters. In chapter 3 …

A density functional theory study into the mechanism and reactivity in heterogeneous system
… products. Normally it usually happens at the gas-solid or liquid-solid interface.<br/><br/>This PhD theses mainly addresses two types of heterogeneous reactions: the one happens at the interface between gas and solid (chapter 3 and chapter 4), and the other occurs between liquid and solid (chapter …

Structural studies of supramolecular host-guest systems
… guest molecules both in aqueous solution and the solid state. The research is divided into two themes; (1) structural characterization and dynamic properties of the inclusion compounds of β-CD with various guest systems in aqueous solution and the solid phase, and (2) heterogeneous adsorption and …

Host-Guest Assemblies for Functional Interfaces via Langmuir-Blodgett and Self-Assembly Technique
… by various molecular interactions at a solid-liquid interface. The functionality of a surface plays an important role in many applications such as catalysis, sensing, and bio-compatibility, which can benefit from distinctive chemical and physical surface properties. To create tailor-made …

Synthesis of III-V nitride nanowires with controlled structure, morphology, and composition
… nucleation at the perimeter of the seed/nanowire interface. Finally, Ni- and Au-seeded GaN nanowires were directly compared, and the higher growth rate and reduced defect density in Ni-seeded nanowires were consistent with a reduced seed/nanowire interfacial energy. Next, nonpolar-oriented …
