The aim of this work is to investigate the surface effects on SH wave propagation in ultra-thin layers with body-centered cubic single-crystal and face-centered cubic single-crystal structures, as well as Love and Rayleigh surface waves propagation in a single crystalline bcc half-space solid.Due to the wide application of wave propagation in science and technology, this issue has attracted the attention of many researchers and engineers. Wave propagation is used in surface science, coustoelectronics, and non-destructive evaluations.In this study, ultra-thin layers have thicknesses between 2 and 6 nm. For such layers, the physical and mechanical effects of surface are not negligible.It is... 

Different types of morphologies and phase structures of crystalline TiO2 were synthesized by hydrothermal methods. For the first time, dandelion-like rutile TiO2 powder composed of numerous single crystalline nanorods was synthesized using TiCl4 as the main precursor. TiO2 Nanoparticles were produced using TTIP and 2-propanol, as precursor and solvent, respectively. Field emission scanning electron microscopy analyses revealed that the synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles had average crystallite size in the range 21–70 nm, whereas dandelion-like TiO2 showed diameter in the range 2-10 µm. According to the significant refractive index of TiO2, in particular rutile phase, it can be used in the...
