First-principles identifications of superstructures of germanene on Ag (111)...
Using first-principle calculations, we show that germanene can attach on Ag (111) surface forming germanene/Ag superstructures via electrostatic interactions. In all the optimized superstructures, we...
View ArticleAnti-bioadhesion on Hierarchically Structured, Superhydrophobic Surfaces
We prepared hierarchically structured, superhydrophobic surfaces, with single-, dual-, and triple-scale roughness, via a layer-by-layer (LbL) particle deposition approach. The dual-/triple-scale...
