This paper reports the first calculation of the two-dimensional interfacial profile and energetics of nanoscopically thin films of helium, on an heterogeneous planar substrate consisting of two adjoining metals. The ...

In this work films were produced by the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) of titanium tetraisopropoxide-oxygen-helium mixtures and irradiated with 150 keV singly-charged nitrogen ions (N(+)) at fluences, ...

Measurements of the energy loss of 10 keV protons and helium ions in Al and Au as a function of the exit angle are presented, as well as model calculations and numerical simulations taking into account the polycrystalline ...

We examine the metastable and unstable regimes of condensation of superfluid helium and parahydrogen on spheres and cylinders at finite temperatures, employing finite range density functionals. The goal is to compare ...

The adsorption of helium on spherical cavities is investigated employing finite range density functional theory. It is known that for films outside spherical walls, a growth instability occurs above a critical film thickness. ...

The effects of ion irradiation on fluorinated plasma polymer films are investigated using profilometry, surface contact-angle measurements, infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS) and X-ray photoelectron ...
