    1794-A-1902 Influence of the support on stabilizing local defects in strained monolayer oxide films Shuqiu Wang1, Xiao Hu1, Jacek Goniakowski2, Claudine Noguera2, Martin R. Castell1 1 Department of Materials, University of Oxford, Oxford, U.K. 2 CNRS-Sorbonne Université, Paris, France Two-dimensional materials with a honeycomb lattice, such as graphene and hexagonal boron nitride, often contain local defects in which the hexagonal elements are replaced by four, five, seven, and eight-membered rings. An example is the Stone-Wales (S-W) defect, where a bond rotation causes four hexagons to be transformed into a cluster of two pentagons and two heptagons. A further series of similar defects incorporating divacancies results in larger structures of non-hexagonal elements. In this paper, we use scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT) modeling to investigate the structure and energetics of S-W and divacancy defects in a honeycomb (2 × 2) Ti2O3 monolayer grown on an Au(111) substrate. The epitaxial rumpled Ti2O3 monolayer is pseudomorphic and in a state of elastic compression. As a consequence, divacancy defects, which induce tension in freestanding films, relieve the compression in the epitaxial Ti2O3 monolayer and therefore have significantly lower energies when compared with their freestanding counterparts. We find that at the divacancy defect sites, there is a local reduction of the charge transfer between the film and the substrate, the rumpling is reduced, and the film has an increased separation from the substrate. Our results demonstrate the capacity of the substrate to significantly influence the energetics, and hence favor vacancy-type defects, in compressively strained 2D materials.

To address this, we have developed a dynamic force microscopy technique where 4 July 2014 the flexure of the microcantilever is excited using an intensity modulated laser beam to achieve modulation on the picoscale. The flexure arises from thermally induced bending through differential expansion and the conservation of momentum when the photons are reflected and absorbed by the cantilever. In this study, we investigated the photothermal and photon pressure responses of monolithic and layered cantilevers using a Correspondence and modulated laser in air and immersed in water.

  • The Universe
    The Universe N.G. Schultheiss translated and adapted by K. Schadenberg 1 Introduction This module ‘The Universe’ follows on the module ‘The Sky’ and can give you some inspiration for the use of your own telescope (see module series leading to ‘Telescopes’). 2 Man as measure of things When looking at the world around us we look at it with a human measure. We express size in a familiar unit; the metre or foot. A man is roughly 6 feet tall. We can easily imagine how large a metre is. The same is true for other common units; the litre, the second, etc. But when looking at ‘worlds’ much larger or smaller than our every day world these human measures begin to fail. Can you imagine the length of a light year? Or the duration of a nanosecond? Below is a small table which lists common length scales and the objects which can comfortably be expressed using these units: Unit Object Organism mm: millimetre grain of sand cm: centimetre rubber (eraser) fly, grass dm: decimetre pen, paper rabbit, sunflower m: metre furniture, bicycle human, shrub dm: decametre house, bus whale, tree hm: hectometre street, ship km: kilometre village, city Table 1: Different length scales. Going down in the table, everything becomes a factor 10 larger. Going up the opposite happens, every- thing becomes a factor 10 smaller. Using this table we see that a city is roughly 1,000,000 times larger than a grain of sand. A rather large number. This is why different units can be convenient, smaller number are easier to understand.

  • Picometre-Precision Analysis of Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy Images of Platinum Nanocatalysts
    ARTICLE Received 13 Dec 2013 | Accepted 19 May 2014 | Published 11 Jun 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms5155 Picometre-precision analysis of scanning transmission electron microscopy images of platinum nanocatalysts Andrew B. Yankovich1, Benjamin Berkels2,3, W. Dahmen2,4, P. Binev2, S.I. Sanchez5, S.A. Bradley5,AoLi1, Izabela Szlufarska1 & Paul M. Voyles1 Measuring picometre-scale shifts in the positions of individual atoms in materials provides new insight into the structure of surfaces, defects and interfaces that influence a broad variety of materials’ behaviour. Here we demonstrate sub-picometre precision measurements of atom positions in aberration-corrected Z-contrast scanning transmission electron micro- scopy images based on the non-rigid registration and averaging of an image series. Non-rigid registration achieves five to seven times better precision than previous methods. Non-rigidly registered images of a silica-supported platinum nanocatalyst show pm-scale contraction of atoms at a (111)/(111) corner towards the particle centre and expansion of a flat (111) facet. Sub-picometre precision and standardless atom counting with o1 atom uncertainty in the same scanning transmission electron microscopy image provide new insight into the three- dimensional atomic structure of catalyst nanoparticle surfaces, which contain the active sites controlling catalytic reactions. 1 Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Wisconsin—Madison, Madison, Wisconsin 53706, USA. 2 Interdisciplinary Mathematics Institute, University of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina 29208, USA. 3 Aachen Institute for Advanced Study in Computational Engineering Science (AICES), RWTH Aachen, Schinkelstrasse 2, Aachen 52062, Germany. 4 Institut fu¨r Geometrie und Praktische Mathematik, RWTH Aachen, Templergraben 55, Aachen 52056, Germany.
