The methanol adsorption on several defects of the magnesium oxide surface were studied. Structural and electronic study with geometrical optimization and natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis were performed using a density ...

Low-energy ion scattering (LEIS) is distinguished by its acute surface sensitivity. Depending on the projectile/target system under analysis and the incoming energy of the projectile, it can provide information on the ...

Surface diffusion is a (fourth-order highly nonlinear) geometric driven motion of a surface with normal velocity proportional to the surface Laplacian of mean curvature. We present a novel variational formulation for graphs ...

The Viedma glacier is the largest glacier in Argentina and one of the most dynamic in the Southern Patagonian Icefield. It is a strategic water source. This study analyzes the interactions of glaciological variables that ...

The simplest model for the evolution of the mean-value of a surface gravity wave propagating in a random bottom has been connected with the telegrapher's equation. This analysis is based on the comparison of the mean-value ...

In this paper, I present some results for the process of excitation of bulk and surface plasmons during the emission of electrons in the proximity of surfaces of different shapes and dimensions. I describe in detail the ...

In striving to achieve autonomous navigation the problem of guidance is a major difficulty faced by fully autonomous vehicle. In this paper, the authors focus on unconventional methods of identifying lane markings on a ...

The tuning of surface properties through functionalization is an important field of research with a broad spectrum of applications. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) allow the surface tailoring through the adsorption of ...
