A team of Siberian scientists and foreign colleagues calculated the parameters that influence the intensity of the reaction between carbon nanotubes and phthalocyanines—complex nitrogen-containing compounds. Hybrid constructions based on them are considered as new materials for solar cell batteries, sensors, and optic devices. The work was published in Applied Surface Science. Many new materials for…
Scientists Describe the Course of Reactions in Two-layer Thin Metal Films
A team of researchers from Siberian Federal University (SFU) obtained thin copper/gold and iron/palladium films and studied the reactions that take place in them upon heating. Knowing these processes, scientists will be able to improve the properties of materials currently used in microelectronics. The article of the scientists was published in the Journal of Solid State…
Flexible Polymers Could be the Future of Nanoelectronics
A team of scientists from Siberian Federal University (SibFU) together with foreign colleagues described the structural and physical properties of a group of two-dimensional materials based on polycyclic molecules called circulenes. The possibility of flexible design and variable properties of these materials make them suitable for nanoelectronics. The results are published in the Journal of…
Innovative Approach to Creating Successful Diffraction Grating
A team from the L.V. Kirensky Institute of Physics of the Siberian Branch of RAS and Siberian Federal University (SFU) has suggested a new approach to developing a dynamically controlled diffraction grating in atomic media that eliminates all existing limitations in this area. Diffraction gratings are able to deflect light beams in different directions and…
