Introduction In recent years, there has been significant interest in the study of charge transport in molecular junctions (MJs). These systems consists of a molecule sandwiched between two metal electrodes. Understanding the nature of charge transport across these interfaces is of crucial importance for the improvement in molecular electronics. One class of molecules that has been studied as potential candidates …

Introduction Calcium silicate ceramics are used as a biomaterial owing to their excellent characteristics such as biocompatibility, bioactivity and biodegradability 1-3. Calcium silicate ceramics are mostly used in dentistry, orthopaedics, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering 3-6. They are also utilized in cosmetic formulations as absorbent, opacifying agent, and bulking agent 7. Calcium silicate ceramics are especially preferred in dental …

Introduction Metal foam is a cellular structure consisting of a solid metal as matrix and voids which are interconnected resulting in lighter weight and porous structure. Metal foam can be used as a lightweight structural material in aerospace, automotive, and construction industries. It provides high strength to weight ratio and high impact resistance making it useful in crash-worthy components, armor …
