The structural, elastic and electronic properties of chalcopyrite compound CuInSe2 and CuGaSe2 have been investigated using the full-potential linearized muffin-tin orbital method (FP-LMTO) within the frame of density functional theory (DFT). In this approach, the local density approximation is...

Arrays of tungsten oxide nanorods, approximately 500 nm in diameter and 10 μm in length, have been grown in a catalyst-free reaction by heating tungsten wires at 900°C in a humid argon flow. They were systematically characterized using different surface analysis techniques. The chemical...
