We can't wait to see what you submit (and to which journal)!
Researchers from @UOsaka_en use atomistic simulations to reveal the double-edged role of ions in plasma #ALDep of silicon nitride: they drive film growth & remove chlorine, but can also bury impurities deeper in the material.

@LoyolaChicago authors use LEED to reveal how Rh catalyst surfaces oxidize differently by crystal facet. Steps oxidize more easily due to lower activation barriers, with major implications for catalytic performance.

When 2D materials are grown by #MBE, they often have a high density of twin defects.
Check out this study from @UWMadison & @usarmy_devcom on growth conditions of van der Waals material GaSe - showing that at low temps, non-twinned films can be formed.
