Designing-in of Quality Through Axiomatic Design by Suh, Nam P.

“…Axiomatic design consists of: 1) domains in the design world, 2) mapping between these domains, 3) characterization of a design by a vector in each domain, 4) decomposition of the characteristic vectors into hierarchies through a process of zigzagging between the domains, and 5) the design axioms, viz, Independence & Information Axioms. …”

Perspective: bonding and electronic origin of Au atomic-undercoordination-derivacy and nanoscale-size-dependency by Sun, Changqing

“…Systematic analysis of the electron emission spectra of XPS and STM/S of the undercoordinated gold atoms revealed that the 4f and 5d bands undergo quantum entrapment while the 6s level is subject to localization and polarization because of the undercoordination-induced local bond contraction and bond strength gain – named bond order-length-strength correlation and nonbonding electron polarization (BOLS-NEP). …”
