"structural confinement" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It is typically used in technical or scientific contexts to refer to a situation where a physical structure is limited or restricted in movement or expansion. Example: The researchers used structural confinement techniques to study the behavior of nanoparticles in a closed container.
In this way, values of both Fc and ∆E are defined by the competition between the structural confinement and the electron-hole interaction.
We ascribe a dramatic alteration of the potential curves with the increase of the separation between QDs from 5 to 20 nm observed in Figure 2 to the interplay between the structural confinement and the electron-electron repulsion.
We note that the pattern observed in Fig. 2 a are generally reasonable since stronger structural confinement stemming from narrower channels increases the hole-phonon scattering rate [17, 25], and the chance for scattering induced by surface roughness would also increase in more populated and narrower channels.
It is seen that the electron energies corresponding to different levels initially descends as the distance between holes and the layers Z h decreases, while the electrostatic attraction between electron and holes is greater than the repulsion from the layer provided by the structural confinement.
We further ensured a minimal structural confinement, i.e. a family was discarded, if the fraction of base pair forming positions within C str was below 20%.
members designed according to obsolete codes of practice are characterised by very different structural detailing, inadequate confinement, poor bond between smooth bars and concrete, so that very different post-yielding mechanisms compared to new constructions take place.
The structural rigidity and confinement of MOF scaffolds greatly enhanced the thermal stability of embedded enzymes.
Among these structures, 1D nanorods [NRs] have attracted considerable interest in recent years because they exhibit extraordinary properties different from those found in bulk ZnO materials due fundamentally to their high surface-to-volume ratio, unique structural, and quantum confinement effects.
Stucky et al. [18] reported that in a physically confined environment, interfacial interactions, symmetry breaking, structural frustration, and confinement-induced entropy loss could play dominant roles in determining molecular organization.
In addition, such structures are expected to display novel physical properties related to the structural anisotropy and quantum confinement effects and could be used as active elements for the new generation of electronic, optoelectronic, magnetic, and thermoelectric devices [5 7].
The measurements indicate that by decreasing the thickness of the sheets, which corresponds to an increase of the confinement effect, structural inversion asymmetry and consequently the Rashba SOC becomes more pronounced in PbS nanosheets.
