Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to study the hollow cavity formation mechanisms of the L-arginine phosphate monohydrate (LAP) crystals. Hollow cavities are formed through three modes. During 2D nucleation growth, initially formed 2D cavity prevents the growth around it layer-by-layer...

Surface morphology of the {101} freshly cleaved planes of L-arginine trifluoroacetate crystals grown from aqueous solutions have been studied by atomic force microscopy. Various step patterns are described and discussed. Moreover, the dislocations are not easily found and all of them are devoid...

Morphology of the {100} cleavage faces of L-arginine phosphate monohydrate single crystal before and after its growth at 40°C at a supersaturation of 0.031 has been studied. Monolayer and multilayer steps are found on the original cleaved surfaces. The regrowth morphology varies in nature with...

Surface morphology of the {001} faces of MMTWD crystals grown from by the temperature-lowering method has been studied. Monolayer and multilayer steps elongate along the a direction, which is determined by the crystal structure. Apart from that, the elementary steps have narrower terraces than...

Chaos synchronization of two identical Chua systems with the same fractional order is studied by utilizing the Pecora–Carroll (PC) method, the active–passive decomposition (PAD) method, the one-way coupling method and the bidirectional coupling one. The sufficient conditions for achieving...

A new handshake scheme is presented for tight-binding (TB) and molecular dynamics (MD) for multi-scale simulation of covalent crystals. In the present scheme, when calculating the forces on MD atoms in the handshake region, the TB atoms in close proximity to the MD atoms are treated as MD...
