To realize highly sensitive and reproducible SERS performance, a new route was put forward to construct uniform SERS film by using magnetic composite microspheres. In the experiment, monodisperse Fe3O4@SiO2@Ag microspheres with hierarchical surface were developed and used as building block of SERS substrate, which not…

In this work, we present systematic studies on how an illuminating electron beam which ionizes molecular gas species can influence the mechanism of carbon nanotube oxidation in an environmental transmission electron microscope (ETEM). We found that preferential attack of the nanotube tips is much more prevalent than f…

In this paper, we propose strain-sensitive thin films based on chemically reduced graphene oxide (GO) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) without adding any further surfactants. In spite of the insulating properties of the thin-film-based GO due to the presence functional groups such as hydroxyl, epoxy, and car…

Through advanced electro-thermal simulations we demonstrate that self-heating effects play a significant role in ultrascaled nanowire field-effect transistors, that some crystal orientations are less favorable than others (⟨111⟩ for n-type applications, ⟨100⟩ for p-type ones), and that Ge might outperform Si at this s…

We study transport properties of a ${\text{MoS}}_{2}$ monolayer in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field $B$. We derive and discuss its band structure and take into account spin and valley Zeeman effects. Compared to a conventional two-dimensional electron gas, these effects lead to new quantum Hall plateaus…

Chirality routinely occurs in 3D metamaterials (MMs) lacking mirror symmetry or quasi 2D planar MMs lacking in-plane mirror symmetry. However, realization of such asymmetric MMs in the high frequency region remains challenging since it is hard to precisely control the asymmetric geometry of the ultrasmall meta-atom. M…

Metasurfaces open up a low-dimensional artificial approach to tailor electromagnetic (EM) waves with unprecedented functionalities. However, the ability to actively control and manipulate EM waves via metasurfaces still faces challenges that need to be overcome. Here, we experimentally demonstrated a multiband switcha…

The knee point in the B-H curve of a permanent magnet (PM) is considered crucial in electric motor applications. In the case of severe fault conditions, such as overheating or a short circuit in electric motors, the working point might fall below the knee point causing irreversible demagnetization of the PM. Hence, th…

Charge carriers (electrons) were added to ZnO nanocrystals (NCs) using the molecular reductants CoCp*2 and CrCp*2 [Cp* = η(5)-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl]. The driving force for electron transfer from the reductant to the NCs was varied systematically by the addition of acid, which lowers the energy of the NC orbitals…

PEG-functionalized graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are shown to promote fast exciton dissociation in organic solar cells. Short-chain PEG promotes the most favorable interaction with other organic layers, and the overall efficiency is improved by 36% when compared to the reference devices. The mechanism of enhancement is…

Understanding the structural tendencies of nanoconfined water is of great interest for nanoscience and biology, where nano/micro-sized objects may be separated by very few layers of water. Here we investigate the properties of ice confined to a quasi-2D monolayer by a featureless, chemically neutral potential, in orde…
