liquid solid growth (VLS). In this process, laser ablation was used to prepare nanometer-diameter catalyst clusters that define the size of wires produced by VLS growth. This approach was used to prepare bulk quantities of uniform single-crystal silicon and germanium nanowires with diameters of 6-20 and 3-9 nm. Studies carried out with different conditions and catalyst materials confirmed the central detail of the growth mechanisms and suggests that face

Chemistry and technology has allowed so many advancements in today’s society. It has allowed us to have faster computers, better displays, bigger hard disks(hard drives),and it gives us the ability to work, to create, and to play. The main focus point of my research is how chemistry has advanced computers with the work of transistors. A transistor is a semiconductor device that can amplify, control and generate electrical signals. Transistors look like integrated circuts. They are placed in micro

In addition, this theory focuses on building the metabolism before information bearing compounds like RNA, while other theories focus on creating an RNA world first. However, the idea that hydrothermal vents were the hatchery of life can be compatible for both theories. Similar to how the micro-compartments in the vents could have concentration chemicals needed for metabolism to arise, the micro-compartments could have also concentrated products needed for organic synthesis of primitive genetic material

Silicon Come one! Come all! Today I would like to talk to you about our new product, Silicon! Silicon has a symbol which is Si. What's the relationship between Silicon and its symbol you ask?The relation between Silicon and its symbol is the first two letters of the beginning of the word Silicon. Silicon was discovered in 1824 by Jöns Jacob Berzelius in Stockman, Sweden. Silicon is the 14th number in the periodic table. It has 14 protons ,electrons and 12 neutrons. It is in period 3 and also

A Molecular dynamic (MD) simulation is employed to examine the indentation response of Al/a-Si nano core-shell. The modified embedded atom method (MEAM) is used to compute the interaction between Al and a-Si. The deformation behavior of the a-Si shell and Al core under a spherical indented is investigated. Moreover, this study explore the effects of a-Si density, indenter- radius size, and core/shell ratio size on the structural deformation of Al/a-Si core shell nanostructure. Background The transition

is, very broadly, Silicon Valley's take on deregulation, or: heterarchy over hierarchy. Distributed networks that auto-match people for commerce/socializing is better than hierarchy that uses command+control to influence/restrict decisions. As I wrote this, I wanted to add a counterexample, exception to a rule, or other clarification many times over. This email is me portraying what I think is the prevailing, semi-unexamined wisdom of Silicon Valley. ---------- Most of Silicon Valley wants deregulation

The M n+1 AX n , or MAX phases are ternary carbides or nitrides with a hexagonal crystal structure, wherein the M n+1 X n layers are interleaved with A layers. M is an early transition metal, A is an A-group element, which is mostly 13 and 14 groups and X is carbon or nitrogen. MAX phases exhibit a unique combination of properties arising from their atomic bonding and structural characteristics which situates them on the boundary between metals and ceramic bridging the gap between them [1–6]. Due

Paragraph 1 Between α-FePO4 and β-FePO4, there are similarities and differences between the crystal structures and crystal chemistry. Starting off with the differences, one of which is how the quartz behaved at different temperatures. At low temperature, where the α-FePO4 is formed, generally tend towards the values obtained for β-FePO4 at high temperature. This is surprisingly true for all alpha quarts at low temperature, where they shift towards the value of its respective Beta quartz at high temperature

SiO2 and FePO4 are very similar in terms of their crystal structure. SiO2 consists of a metalloid bonded to oxygen atoms, whereas FePO4 consists of a transition metal which forms an ionic bond with a Phosphate ion (cation), which itself consists of a non-metal bonded to oxygen atoms. In addition, the size of Si and FeP relative to oxygen are very similar. These structural similarities mean that the observations made during the thermal transition from the alpha phase to the beta phase are also similar

1. Silicon Valley is an extremely competitive place to work. Many multi-billion dollar company’s headquarters like Google, Apple, Pinterest, and Facebook are located here. These companies want the best of the best for every position in their company and in most cases, they are able to have it. I do not think affirmative action is needed in the situation of computer coders. Affirmative action helps make all things equal or nearly equal, it promotes the least advantaged. It helps keeps negative discrimination
