    • Synthesis and studying of reduced few-layered graphene coatings in gas sensor applications 

      Lukosevics, Ingars; Lesnicenoks, Peteris; Kleperis, Janis (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2019)
      In this work reduced few-layered graphene (rFLG) nanoparticles were synthesized using electrochemical pulse exfoliation method from waste graphite crucibles. The regular change in voltage polarity in the synthesis process ...
    • Pressure-induced structural changes in α-MoO3 probed by X-ray absorption spectroscopy 

      Jonane, Inga; Anspoks, Andris; Nataf, Lucie; Baudelet, Francois; Irifune, Tetsuo; Kuzmin, Alexei (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2019)
      Energy-dispersive X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Mo K-edge was used to study pressure-induced (up to 36 GPa) changes in the local atomic structure of 2D layered oxide α-MoO3. A linear combination analysis based on ...
    • Negative thermal expansion of ScF3: First principles vs empirical molecular dynamics 

      Bocharov, Dmitry; Rafalskij, Yuri; Krack, Matthias; Putnina, Mara; Kuzmin, Alexei (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2019)
      The crystal lattice of cubic scandium fluorine (ScF3) exhibits negative thermal expansion (NTE) over a wide range of temperatures from 10 K to 1100 K. Here the NTE effect in ScF3 is studied using atomistic simulations based ...
    • Nafion® and polyaniline composite modification with Li and Mg ions
