Abstract:Molybdenum carbides
(MoC and Mo2C) are being reported
for various applications, for example, catalysts for sustainable energies,
nonlinear materials for laser applications, protective coatings for
improving tribological performance, and so on. A one-step method for
simultaneously fabricating molybdenum monocarbide (MoC) nanoparticles
(NPs) and MoC surfaces with a laser-induced periodic surface structure
(LIPSS) was developed by using pulsed laser ablation of a molybdenum
(Mo) substrate in hexane. Spherical NPs… Show more
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.
