Thermo-mechanical behavior of low-dimensional systems: The local bond average approach (2009, methodology): “Section 2 presents theoretical considerations of the local bond average (LBA) and the often-overlooked effect of broken bonds on the behavior of the remaining bonds of the under-coordinated atoms that follows the recently developed bond order–length–strength (BOLS) correlation mechanism [1].”
Nanotechnology in Sustainable Agriculture: Recent Developments, Challenges, and Perspectives (2017, background): “…several unique electronic association, plasmonic and optical properties which are related with the quantum confinement effects, the alteration of the electronic energy levels may appear due to the surface area in relation to volume ratio (Sun, 2007; Aziz et al., 2015; Prasad et al., 2016).”
Grain Size Effects in Sensor Response of Nanostructured SnO2- and In2O3-Based Conductometric Thin Film Gas Sensor (2009, background): “Studies by Thompson Mazzone and Sun 122 , 123 , 124 reported that there were two main reasons for the grain growth observed during thermal treatments.”
