Theoretical Investigation on Structural and Electronic Properties of InN Growth on Ce-Stabilized Zirconia (111) Substrates by Yao Guo, Taixuan Jia, Chengbo Li, Yongsheng Niu, Shaogang Hou, Shuanjiang Liu

“…The structural and electronic properties of InN on Ce-stabilized zirconia (CeSZ) (111) substrates are investigated using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory with GGA + U method. Surface energy calculations indicate that the structure of Ce-segregated surface is more energetically stable than that of Ce-segregation-free surface. …”

Current aspects of the wound process treatment using dressings (bandages) by O. P. Shmatenko, L. L. Davtian, T. V. Prykhodko, O. F. Kuchmistova, V. О. Tarasenko, N. O. Коziko, D. V. Voronenko, V. V. Osodlo

“…It has been determined that the development of modern wound dressings provides for the realization of a complex effect on the wound process, which is achieved by the multi-layer structure of the dressing (bandages) with clearly defined functions of each component – the contact layer reduces adhesion to the wound surface; sorption layer provides irreversible sorption, retention and inactivation of wound exudate; pharmacologically active layer influences the main factors of wound process pathogenesis; outer isolating membrane generates wound occlusion. …”

Interface Acoustic Waves in 128° YX-LiNbO₃/SU-8/Overcoat Structures by Cinzia Caliendo, Massimiliano Benetti, Domenico Cannatà, Farouk Laidoudi, Gaetana Petrone

“…Numerical analysis results showed the following: (i) an overcoat faster than the piezoelectric half-space ensures that the wave propagation is confined mainly close to the surface of the LiNbO₃, although with minimal scattering in the overcoat; (ii) the presence of the SU-8, in addition to performing the essential function of an adhesive layer, can also promote the trapping of the acoustic energy toward the surface of the piezoelectric substrate; and (iii) the electromechanical coupling efficiency of the IAW is very close to that of the surface acoustic wave (SAW) along the bare LiNbO₃ half-space. …”
