Macroscopic modelling of ferroelectric properties refers usually to Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire theory. This paper questions the meaningfulness of this term, discussing contributions of the three authors to what is supposed to be a theory. The limitations of every contribution are analyzed. In the main text and, to mor…
The interactions between δ-hydrides and plastic slip in a commercial zirconium alloy, Zircaloy-4, under stress were studied using in situ secondary electron microscope (SEM) micropillar compression tests of single crystal samples and ex situ digital image correlation (DIC) macroscale tensile tests of polycrystalline s…
Transition metal carbides/nitrides (MXenes) are a newly developing class of two-dimensional (2D) materials with technically robust properties that can be finely tuned by planar surface functionalization. Herein, the critical role of oxygen (O-) functionalization on the tensile mechanical characteristics of thinnest 2D…
Conventional slippery surfaces show isotropic drop mobility in all directions, but many applications require directional drop motion along a particular path only. In previous studies, researchers used topographic substrates, together with different external stimuli, to demonstrate anisotropic drop motion, which is not…
We consider electron transport in ferromagnets or antiferromagnets sandwiched between metals. When spins in the magnetic materials precess, they emit currents into the surrounding conductors. Generally, adiabatic pumping in mesoscopic systems also enhances current fluctuations. We generalize the description of current…
Due to their physical properties and potential applications in energy conversion and storage, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have garnered substantial interest in recent years. Amongst this class of materials, TMDs based on molybdenum, tungsten, sulfur and selenium are particularly attractive due to their sem…
Employing femtosecond laser pulses in front and back side pumping of Au/Fe/MgO(001) combined with detection in two-photon photoelectron emission spectroscopy, we analyze local relaxation dynamics of excited electrons in buried Fe, injection into Au across the Fe-Au interface, and electron transport across the Au layer…
Abstract Wood‐derived cellulose materials obtained by structure‐retaining delignification are attracting increasing attention due to their excellent mechanical properties and great potential to serve as renewable and CO 2 storing cellulose scaffolds for advanced hybrid materials with embedded functionality. Various de…
Abstract Second harmonic generation (SHG) of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials has attracted immense research interests due to the abilities of photon generation, manipulation, transmission, detection, and imaging for the applications of modern on-chip nanophotonic devices. Some layered materials with broken inve…
Searching for the coexistence of a wide energy gap ( E g > 3.5 eV) and a large second-harmonic generation efficiency ( d ij > 0.6 × AgGaS 2 ) for noncentrosymmetric (NCS) materials in the IR nonlinear optical (NLO) field is highly desirable but still remains a huge challenge because of the incompatibility between them…
The application of NIR-II emitters for gastrointestinal (GI) tract imaging remains challenging due to fluorescence quenching in the digestive microenvironment. Herein, we report that red-shifting of the fluorescence emission of Au nanoclusters (AuNCs) into NIR-II region with improved quantum yields (QY) could be achie…
Metal nanoparticles, especially silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), have drawn increasing attention for antimicrobial applications. Most studies have emphasized on the correlations between the antibacterial potency of AgNPs and the kinetics of metallic to ionic Ag conversion, while other antimicrobial mechanisms have been u…
Distinct morphological MgO nanoparticles (MgONPs) were synthesized using biomasses of Saussurea costus roots. The biomass of two varieties of Saussurea costus (Qustal hindi and Qustal bahri) were used in the green synthesis of MgONPs. The physical and chemical features of nanoparticles were confirmed by spectroscopic…
The visualization of data is indispensable in scientific research, from the early stages when human insight forms to the final step of communicating results. In computational physics, chemistry and materials science, it can be as simple as making a scatter plot or as straightforward as looking through the snapshots of…
This article summarizes our recent understanding on how various essential foam properties could be controlled (viz. modified in a desired way) using appropriate surfactants, polymers, particles and their mixtures as foaming agents. In particular, we consider the effects of these agents on the foaminess of solutions an…
Abstract Mechanical properties and geometries of printed products have been extensively studied in metal 3D printing. However, chemical properties and catalytic functions, introduced by metal 3D printing itself, are rarely mentioned. Here we show that metal 3D printing products themselves can simultaneously serve as c…
Shape memory alloys recover their original shape after deformation, making them useful for a variety of specialized applications. Superelastic behavior begins at the critical stress, which tends to increase with increasing temperature for metal shape memory alloys. Temperature dependence is a common feature that often…
Constructing multifunctional characteristics toward advanced electromagnetic interference shielding materials in harsh environments has become a development trend. Herein, the wood-derived magnetic porous carbon composites with a highly ordered anisotropic porous architecture were successfully fabricated through a pyr…
Nanocelluloses (i.e., bacterial nanocellulose, cellulose nanocrystals, and cellulose nanofibrils) are cellulose-based materials with at least one dimension in the nanoscale. These materials have unique and useful properties and have been shown to assemble at oil-water interfaces and impart new functionality to emulsio…
Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-based assays feature particular interests because of the simple colorimetric readout. In these assays, 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is the most widely used chromogenic substrates for HRP. The later research in nanozyme and DNAzyme also used TMB (the chosen substrate) because they a…
