Using the Kubo formula we develop a general and simple expression for the minimal conductivity in systems described by a $2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}2$ Hamiltonian. As an application we derive an analytical expression for the minimal conductivity tensor of bilayer graphene as a function of a complex parameter…

Abstract A solvothermal process was developed to in situ prepare epoxy (EP)/TiO 2 hybrid precursors. The chemical structure of samples was confirmed by X‐ray and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy. Field emission scanning electron microscope micrographs of cured EP/TiO 2 hybrid composites showed that well‐dispe…

We have simulated the relative shear motion of both neutral and polyelectrolyte end-grafted polymer brushes using molecular dynamics. The flexible neutral polymer brush is treated as a bead-spring model, and the polyelectrolyte brush is treated the same way except that each bead is charged and there are counterions pr…

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are an attractive reinforcement material for several composites, due to their inherently high strength and high modulus of elasticity. There are controversial results for cement paste with admixed CNT up to 500 µm in length. Some results show an increase in flexural or compressive strength, whil…

The size-dependent electronic, structural, and magnetic properties of Mn-doped gold clusters have been systematically investigated by using relativistic all-electron density functional theory with generalized gradient approximation. A number of new isomers are obtained for neutral MnAu(n) (n = 1-16) clusters to probe…

Direct growth of graphene on Co(3)O(4)(111) at 1000 K was achieved by molecular beam epitaxy from a graphite source. Auger spectroscopy shows a characteristic sp(2) carbon lineshape, at average carbon coverages from 0.4 to 3 ML. Low energy electron diffraction (LEED) indicates (111) ordering of the sp(2) carbon film w…

Ceramic samples of MnW 1– x Mo x O 4 ( x ≤ 0.3) solid solution were prepared by a solid-state route with the goal of increasing the magnitude of the spin-exchange couplings among the Mn 2+ ions in the spin spiral multiferroic MnWO 4 . Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, optical spectroscopy, magnetization…

The shape and motion of drops on surfaces is governed by the balance between the driving and the pinning forces. Here we demonstrate control over the motion of droplets on an inclined surface by exerting control over the contact angle hysteresis. The external modulation of contact angle hysteresis is achieved through…

The substitution of every fourth carbon atom in graphene by a boron atom preserves the honeycomb structure in the BC 3 two-dimentional lattice, but as we found in our adaptive natural density partitioning analysis, it remarkably alters the chemical bonding. First, in the BC 3 lattice, where boron atoms are surrounded…

We show experimentally that gaseous CO(2) intercalates into the interlayer space of the synthetic smectite clay Na-fluorohectorite at conditions not too far from ambient. The mean interlayer repetition distance of the clay when CO(2) is intercalated is found to be 12.5 Å for the conditions -20 °C and 15 bar. The magni…
