Spin-polarized first-principles calculations show that in contrast to pristine boron nitride nanoribbons (BNNRs), the hybrid BNNRs with topological line defects exhibit diverse electronic and magnetic properties. It is interesting to find that with no need for selective edge functionalization, hybrid BNNRs can exhibit…

In this work, a simple and versatile strategy to synthesize water dispersible high quality nanocrystals was reported. To demonstrate this strategy, thermolysis synthesis of magnetite nanocrystals was coupled with a classical maleinization reaction. The resulting nanocrystals were protected with hydrophobic oleic acid…

While the columnar liquid crystalline phase in suspensions of plate-like colloids is by now well-established, little is known about the pathway leading to the formation of this highly ordered, self-assembled structure. Here, we present direct observations of the morphology and structure of micrometer-sized droplets of…

We investigate the low-temperature magneto-transport properties of monolayer epitaxial graphene films formed on the Si-face of semi-insulating 4 H−SiC substrates by a high-temperature sublimation process. A high-k top-gate on the epitaxial graphene is realized by inserting a fully oxidized nanometer-thin aluminum film…
