Summary: The study observed the microscopic surface evolution of W crystals under low-energy He+ irradiations at 1050 K using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. It was found that the He+ irradiation caused nanoscale undulations on the W (110) surface, with regions of less undulations dominating the microevolution of W crystals. Analysis indicated that the thermodynamic instability of irradiated W crystals was attributed to He nanobubble-driven surface growth.

Summary: The self-assembling films were used on pine wood substrates to alter surface wettability, with monodisperse polystyrene spheres deposited onto the substrate via dip coating. The resulting film had a polycrystalline FCC-like structure with typical domain sizes of 5-15 single spheres. Functionalization of this self-assembled coating through O-2 plasma treatment introduced hydroxyl and carbonyl groups, resulting in superhydrophilic behavior.

Summary: Surface properties of superprotonic (K1-x(NH4)(x))(3)H(SO4)(2) (x >= 0.57) single crystals and their evolution under humidity were investigated using optical polarization microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS). Additional techniques such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM), and scanning capacitance force microscopy (SCFM) were employed. The study examined fresh and aged cleavage surfaces perpendicular and parallel to the c axis of the trigonal superprotonic phase, considering the influence of air humidity, material composition, and surface orientation. Results showed changes in surface morphology, conductivity, potential, and capacitance, with the formation of a modified layer containing new crystal phases during aging.

Summary: Lithium lanthanum titanate (LLTO) is a promising candidate for electrolytes in all-solid-state Li-ion batteries due to its high Li-ion conductivity, but the Li-ion conductivity at grain boundaries is significantly reduced. This reduction is caused by the formation of oxygen vacancies and subsequent positive charge at the grain boundary, creating Li-ion depletion layers that greatly reduce Li-ion conductivity.

Summary: Spin coating is commonly used to prepare thin films with uniformity and controlled thickness. However, it has not been successful in producing free-standing thin films of polyolefins due to their insufficient strength. In this study, we have achieved free-standing thin films of polyolefins, such as polyethylene, with varying thickness. These films can be used for hydrophobic coating, filtration membranes, and oil-sorbents.
