In this paper, we investigate topological states in a two-dimensional distorted Kagome lattice with next- nearest-neighbour (NNN) coupling. We show that introducing NNN coupling leads to the emergence of a new type of higher-order corner states in a non-trivial topological phase. Using near-field scanning technique, we verify our theoretical predictions in the microwave frequency range and demonstrate field profiles for both conventional and new type of corner states. The experimental results are in perfect agreement with numerical simulations of finite structure.

The global economic development continually demands the use of energy resources, among which various types of oils are widely used. Despite their undeniable economic importance, environmental accidents with these occur frequently. Thus, the search for efficient and low-cost mitigating measures is recurrent. In this context, techniques that use natural adsorbents, such as vegetable fibers, have been studied, since they combine efficiency, selectivity, low cost and sustainability. Studies have been carried out using various types of fibers, natural or chemically treated. The interest in treating the fiber lies in the fact that, changing the chemical structure of the fiber, its oil sorption capacity is increased. Due to the offered advantages, an alternative and promising type of surface treatment using ionic liquids was performed, to the detriment of traditional treatments. Thus, the technical feasibility of the use of sisal fiber treated with ionic liquid for adsorption of biodiesel was studied.

Clays attract attention as a nano size material to reinforce the polymers and resins. In this study, montmorillonite clay was modified using industrial solvents that are used in the paint industry. It was shown that the water contact angle could be varied from 20? to 140? which is a real influence for the clay mineral. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that planar basal space could be altered significantly from 12.57 to 15.40 nm showing 22.5% increase in the interlayer spacing and that is really critical for many polymers and coating applications. This study will highlight many new clay nanocomposites and the formation of various clay nanocomposites.

The growth of large area single-layer graphene (1-LG) is studied using ambient pressure chemical vapor deposition on single-crystal Ni(111), Ni(110), and Ni(100). By varying both the furnace temperature in the range of 800–1100 °C and the gas flow through the growth chamber, uniform, high-quality 1-LG is obtained for Ni(111) and Ni(110) single crystals and for Ni(100) thin films. Surprisingly, only multilayer graphene growth could be obtained for single-crystal Ni(100). The experimental results are analyzed to determine the optimum combination of temperature and gas flow. Characterization with optical microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and optical transmission support our findings. Density-functional theory calculations are performed to determine the energy barriers for diffusion, segregation, and adsorption, and model the kinetic pathways for formation of different carbon structures on the low-index surfaces of Ni.
