A Cu nanowire (NW)/cuprous oxide (Cu 2 O)-based semiconductor-liquid junction solar cell with a greatly enhanced efficiency and reduced cost was assembled. The Cu NWs function as a transparent electrode as well as part of the Cu NWs/ Cu 2 O coaxial structures, which remarkably benefit the charge separation. The best s…

The scratch resistance behaviour of alumina-graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) (0.5, 2 and 5 vol.-%) composites was investigated using a Rockwell indenter with normal applied loads ranging from 1 to 200 N. The alumina-GNP composites behaved differently during scratch testing depending on the normal applied load. The coeffici…

We study the photoisomerization of azobenzene chromophores embedded into a polymer matrix by using coarse-grained simulations. Two types of beads are considered: t- and c-beads, which are rich in trans and cis isomers, respectively. Simulations combine deterministic (molecular dynamics) and stochastic (random-type swi…

Using first-principles calculations, we investigate the effect of surface passivation on the impurity distribution and magnetic properties in Mn-doped GaAs nanowires . A comparative analysis for the zinc-blend and wurtzite structures is made. Our results show that when the Mn-doped position shifts from the center to t…

We propose a class of temperature-tunable semiconductor metamaterials for terahertz applications. These metamaterials are based on doped semiconductor superlattices with ultrathin barriers of about 1 nm thickness. Due to the tunnel transparency of the barriers, layers of the superlattice cannot be considered as isolat…
