This work presents a theoretical explanation for a crossover in the linear behavior in Fowler-Nordheim (FN) plots based on cold field electron emission (CFE) experimental data. It is characterized by a clear change in the decay rate of usually single-slope FN plots, and has been reported when non-uniform nano-emitters…

CdSe-stearates nanocrystal-ligands complex as a whole possess strongly temperature- and size-dependent yet well-defined solubility in small organic solvents, which shows little solvent effects as long as the complexes remained intact. A quantitative thermodynamic model is developed to describe such solubility behavior…

A novel processing methodology that allows combined preheating and Flash‐ SPS ( FSPS ) of silicon carbide‐based materials has been developed. Beta‐SiC (+10 wt% B 4 C) powders were densified (Ф 20 mm) up to 96% of their theoretical density in 17 s under an applied pressure of 16 MP a (5 kN ). The flash event was attrib…

For conventional materials, the thermal conductivity of thin films is usually suppressed when the thickness decreases due to phonon-boundary scattering. However, this is not necessarily true for the van der Waals solids if the thickness is reduced to only a few layers. In this letter, the layer thickness-dependent pho…

Solution processability of nanocrystals coated with a stable monolayer of organic ligands (nanocrystal-ligands complexes) is the starting point for their applications, which is commonly measured by their solubility in media. A model described in the other report (10.1021/acs.nanolett.6b00737) reveals that instead of o…

In this study we present ab initio DFT calculations performed on stoichiometric and anion doped GaFeO3 substituting O by a C, N and S atom, respectively. Stoichiometric GaFeO3 has an antiferromagnetic (AFM) ground state. The Fe atoms of the sublattices Fe1 and Fe2 couple antiferromagnetically via the O atoms through t…

A preceramic polymer for ZrC was successfully synthesised by chemical reaction between zirconium oxychloride (ZrOCl2·8H2O) and 2-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol via a one-pot route. The molecular structure, thermal properties and pyrolysis behaviour of the precursor were investigated. The results indicated that the precursor mi…

Short‐term photoeffects like photograying, photobluing, and photopinking are well‐known in the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) industry. While photobluing and photograying are well understood regarding their mechanisms of occurrences there are still some missing facts. Furthermore, there are three different types of pinking…
