Plasmonic nanolasers have received a substantial interest for their promising applications in integrated photonics, optical sensing, and biomedical imaging. To date, a room-temperature plasmonic nanolaser, submicron in all dimensions, remains elusive in the visible regime due to high metallic losses. Here, we demonstr…

In a recent Letter, Fujii et. al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 016001] predicted a new carbon allotrope, pentadiamond, with remarkable mechanical properties: elastic moduli comparable or larger than diamond, and negative Poisson's ratio $μ$ = -0.241. The estimated Vicker's hardness is 422 GPa, $\sim$4.6 times higher than in…

Exchange-coupled structures consisting of ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic layers become technologically more and more important. We show experimentally the occurrence of completely reversible, hysteresis-free minor loops of ${[\mathrm{Co}(0.2\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm})/\mathrm{Ni}(0.4\phantom{\rule{0.16em…

Oxide glasses are made of a network of glass former polyhedra, and modifiers which have a role in neutralizing the charge of the glass former polyhedra or depolymerize the glass network. The effect of the modifier content on the structure and properties of the glass are to some extent, well known. However, the effect…

We investigated phonon behavior of hexagonal close-packed titanium under homogeneous shear deformation corresponding to the ${10\overline{1}2}$ twinning mode using first-principles calculations and phonon calculations. By this deformation, we found that a phonon mode located at a point on the Brillouin zone boundary i…

We study adsorption at periodically corrugated substrates formed by scoring rectangular grooves into a planar solid wall which interacts with the fluid via long-range (dispersion) forces. The grooves are assumed to be macroscopically long but their depth, width, and separations can all be molecularly small. We show th…

In a recent Letter [1] Y. Fujii et al. proposed a new carbon allotrope and claimed its extremely high Young's and shear moduli of 1691 and 1113 GPa, respectively, surpassing those of diamond by 1.5 and 2 times! The authors also claimed unique negative averaged Poisson's ratio of -0.24, bulk modulus of 381 GPa and reco…

The glass transition remains unclarified in condensed matter physics. Investigating the mechanical properties of glass is challenging because any global deformation that might result in shear rejuvenation would require a prohibitively long relaxation time. Moreover, glass is well known to be heterogeneous, and a globa…

Large scale implementation of electrochemical water splitting for hydrogen evolution requires cheap and efficient catalysts to replace expensive platinum. Molybdenum disulfide is one of the most promising alternative catalysts but its intrinsic activity is still inferior to platinum. There is therefore a need to explo…

Gapless criteria that can efficiently determine whether a crystal is gapless or not are particularly useful for identifying topological semimetals. In this work, we propose a sufficient gapless criterion for three-dimensional noninteracting crystals, based on the simplified expressions for the bulk average value of th…

Cellular patterns formed by self-organization of dislocations are a most conspicuous feature of dislocation microstructure evolution during plastic deformation. To elucidate the physical mechanisms underlying dislocation cell structure formation, we use a minimal model for the evolution of dislocation densities under…

The hydrogel matrix normally forms via covalent or noncovalent interactions that make the matrix resistant to hydration and disassembly. Herein this type of chemical transition is demonstrated in titanium carbide MXene (Ti 3 C 2 T x ), in which the exchange of intercalated Li + with hydrated protons triggers significa…

Connecting molecular-level phenomena to larger scales and, ultimately, to sophisticated molecular systems that resemble living systems remains a considerable challenge in supramolecular chemistry. To this end, molecular self-assembly at higher hierarchical levels has to be understood and controlled. Here, we report un…
