Ir(1-x)Pt(x)Te₂ is an interesting system showing competing phenomenon between structural instability and superconductivity. Due to the large atomic numbers of Ir and Te, the spin-orbital coupling is expected to be strong in the system which may lead to nonconventional superconductivity. We grew single crystal samples…
Cerenkov luminescence imaging based on light emission from the decay of radionuclides has recently drawn great interest in molecular imaging. In this paper, we report for the first time the Cerenkov luminescence phenomenon of (198)Au isotope, as well as a facile route to the preparation of radioluminescent Au nanocage…
In a computer experiment the choice of suitable estimators to measure a physical quantity plays an important role. We propose a new direct route to determine estimators for observables which do not commute with the Hamiltonian. Our new route makes use of the Hellmann and Feynman theorem and in a diffusion Monte Carlo…
As an exemplary Kondo insulator, SmB6 has been studied for several decades; however, direct evidence for the development of the Kondo coherent state and the evolution of the electronic structure in the material has not been obtained due to the rather complicated electronic and thermal transport behavior. Recently, the…
Electron dispersion forces play a crucial role in determining the structure and properties of biomolecules, molecular crystals and many other systems. However, an accurate description of dispersion is highly challenging, with the most widely used electronic structure technique, density functional theory (DFT), failing…
Substrate strain mediated adatom configurations on Cu<111> surfaces have been simulated in a coverage range up to nearly 1 monolayer. Interacting adatoms occupy positions on a triangular lattice in two dimensions. The elastic interaction is taken from earlier calculations, short range effects are added for comparison.…
We report a molecular dynamics study on the tensile mechanics of graphene as gradually rotating the tensile direction from armchair to zigzag direction, covering the complete range of chiral directions which has never been explored so far. We observed monotonic increases of tensile strength and strain as the chiral (r…
We study the Josephson effect in $s_{\pm}/I/s_{\pm}$ junctions made by two bands reversed sign s-wave ($s_{\pm}$) superconductive materials. We derive an equation providing the bound Andreev energy states parameterized by the band ratio $α$, a parameter accounting for the weight of the second band with respect to the…
Highly dendritic graphene crystals up to 0.25 mm in diameter are synthesized by low pressure chemical vapor deposition inside a copper enclosure. With their sixfold symmetry and fractal-like shape, the crystals resemble snowflakes. The evolution of the dendritic growth features is investigated for different growth con…
A spin battery concept is applied for the dynamical generation of pure spin current and spin transport in p-type silicon (p-Si). Ferromagnetic resonance and effective s-d coupling in Ni80Fe20 results in spin accumulation at the Ni80Fe20/p-Si interface, inducing spin injection and the generation of spin current in the…
Nanomaterials with efficient carrier multiplication (CM), that is, generation of multiple electron-hole pairs by single photons, have been the object of intense scientific interest as potential enablers of high efficiency generation-III photovoltaics. In this work, we explore nanocrystal shape control as a means for e…
Silk fibroin cryogels with remarkable properties were obtained from frozen fibroin solutions (4.2-12.6%) at subzero temperatures between -5 and -22 °C. This was achieved by the addition of ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE) into the cryogelation system. EGDE triggers the conformational transition of fibroin from…
Time-resolved studies uncovered kinetics and mechanism of Mg–hydrogen interactions during High energy reactive ball milling in hydrogen (HRBM) in presence of various types of carbon, including graphite (G), activated carbon (AC), multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), expandable (EG) and thermally-expanded (TEG) graphit…
Fluorescence imaging in vivo allows non-invasive tumor diagnostic thus permitting a direct monitoring of cancer therapies progresses. It is established herein that fluorescent gold nanoclusters are spontaneously biosynthesized by cancerous cell (i.e., HepG2, human hepatocarcinoma cell line; K562, leukemia cell line) i…
Antifogging coatings with hydrophilic or even superhydrophilic wetting behavior have received significant attention due to their ability to reduce light scattering by film-like condensation. However, under aggressive fogging conditions, these surfaces may exhibit frost formation or excess and nonuniform water condensa…
We show that the main mechanism for the dc voltage or dc current induced insulator-metal transition in vanadium dioxide VO(2) is due to local Joule heating and not a purely electronic effect. This "tour de force" experiment was accomplished by using the fluorescence spectra of rare-earth doped micron sized particles a…
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have a number of physical properties that make them appealing for medical applications. For example, the attenuation of X-rays by gold nanoparticles has led to their use in computed tomography imaging and as adjuvants for radiotherapy. AuNPs have numerous other applications in imaging, thera…
In the present investigation, microwave absorption properties of a conductor back single layer designed on graphite flakes (GF)-novolac phenolic resin (NPR) composites is studied. The complex permittivity of the developed composite enhance for higher GF percentages. The reflection loss(RL) measured using E8362C VNA sh…
Anisotropic plasmonic responses on oblate spheroidal shape were investigated using chemically synthesized gold nanospheres. By employing the polarized transmission spectroscopy with oblique incidence, we observe 12-nm blue shift of the plasmonic resonant wavelength for gold nanospheres. The gold nanospheres with 3-nm…
Abstract An allyl‐containing diphenol, 1‐(3‐allyl‐4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐1‐(4‐hydoxyphenyl)‐1‐(6‐oxido‐6H ‐dibenz[c,e][1,2]oxaphosphorin‐6‐yl)ethane (1) , was prepared from a one‐pot reaction of 9,10‐dihydro‐oxa‐10‐phosphaphenanthrene‐10‐oxide, 4‐hydroxyacetophenone, and 2‐allylphenol in the presence of p ‐toluenesulfonic a…
