Density functional theory simulations including dispersion provide an atomistic description of the role of different compounds in the synthesis of gold-nanorods. Anisotropy is caused by the formation of a complex between the surfactant, bromine, and silver that preferentially adsorbs on some facets of the seeds, blocking them from further growth. In turn, the nanorod structure is driven by the perferential adsorption of the surfactant, which induces the appearance of open {520} lateral facets.
Variable-depth streamer acquisition is emerging as a key technique for providing wide bandwidth seismic data. With several data sets acquired across the world, it has consistently produced high quality images in terms of seismic resolution, layer stratigraphy and low-frequency penetration. By varying receiver depth, variable-depth streamer acquisition introduces receiver ghost diversity over different offsets. Such diversity enables a joint deconvolution method to fully remove the receiver ghost. Variable-depth streamer data also tends to be less noisy due to the deep tow of cables. These two factors allow variabledepth streamer data to have a spectrum from 2.5 Hz up to the source notch. Challenges in processing include: how to maintain the full bandwidth in the data, how to effectively remove multiples, and how to robustly build a velocity model. This paper will discuss each of these challenges and their solutions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
