The electronic structure of the zig-zag bilayer strip is analyzed. The electronic spectra of the bilayer strip is computed. The dependence of the edge state band flatness on the bilayer width is found. The density of states at the Fermi level is analytically computed. It is shown that it has the singularity which depe…

Three charge-ordering lanthanum nickelates La2-xAxNiO4, substituted with specific amounts of A = Sr, Ca, and Ba to achieve commensurate charge order, are investigated using broadband dielectric spectroscopy up to GHz frequencies. The transition temperatures of the samples are characterized by additional specific heat…

Unveiling the nature of the bosonic excitations that mediate the formation of Cooper pairs is a key issue for understanding unconventional superconductivity. A fundamen- tal step toward this goal would be to identify the relative weight of the electronic and phononic contributions to the overall frequency (Ω) dependen…

The calculated effects of interstitial hydrogen on the elastic properties of alpha-iron from our earlier work are used to describe the H interactions with homogeneous strain fields using ab initio methods. In particular we calculate the H solublility in Fe subject to hydrostatic, uniaxial, and shear strain. For compar…

The precipitation microstructure of the γ' (AlAg2) intermetallic phase has been examined in aluminium-silver-copper alloys. The microstructure developed in an Al-0.90at.%Ag-0.90at.%Cu alloy was significantly different from that reported for binary Al-Ag alloys. The orientation relationship between the matrix and preci…

The elastic constants of solid \textit{hcp} $^4$He are investigated in molar volumes ranging from about melting up to approximately 14 MPa. Properties of interest are determined by averages formed from computed values in configurations sampled by Monte Carlo of a model wave function. Deviations from known elastic rela…

We develop a continuum theory for thermoelectric bodies following the framework of continuum mechanics and conforming to general principles of thermodynamics. For steady states, the governing equations for local fields are intrinsically nonlinear. However, under conditions of small variations of electrochemical potent…

We report on magnetization precession induced in (Ga,Mn)As by an optical spin transfer torque (OSTT). This phenomenon, which corresponds to a transfer of angular momentum from optically-injected spin-polarized electrons to magnetization, was predicted theoretically in 2004 and observed experimentally by our group in 2…

The low-field electron diffusion, noise, and the conduction in amorphous chalcogenides are investigated by means of a Monte Carlo implementation of a full three- dimensional variable-range hopping transport model between localized states. Quantities like the carrier-velocity autocorrelation function, the noise power s…

A detailed study of the precipitation of the γ' (AlAg2) phase in undeformed aluminium-silver alloys has been conducted. Several previously unreported features were observed, including the formation of discrete three-dimensional assemblies comprised of 5-7 precipitates on faulted dislocation loops. The precipitates ass…

An equivalence between an integro-differential operator M and an evolution operator Ln is determined. From this equivalence the fundamental solution of Ln is estimated in terms of the fundamental solution related to the third-order operator L1 whose behavior is now available. Moreover, properties typical of wave hiera…

An evolution operator L_n with n arbitrary, typical of several models, is analyzed. When n= 1, the operator characterizes the standard linear solid of viscoelasticity, whose properties are already established in previous papers. The fundamental solution εn of L_n is explicitly obtained and it's estimated in terms of t…

Zinc Phosphide ($Zn_3P_2$) could be the basis for cheap and highly efficient solar cells. Its use in this regard is limited by the difficulty in n-type doping the material. In an effort to understand the mechanism behind this, the energetics and electronic structure of intrinsic point defects in zinc phosphide are stu…

There is an ever-growing need to protect our environment by increasing energy efficiency and developing "clean" energy sources. These are global challenges, and their resolution is vital to our energy security. Although many conventional materials, such as metals, ceramics, and plastics, cannot fulfil all requirements…

A facile solvothermal method has been developed for large-scale preparation of uniform spheres of a nickel–ethylene glycol complex (Ni-EG complex) with a hierarchical nanostructure. The dispersibility and hierarchical structure of the Ni-EG particles can be tuned by varying the concentration of additives added. On the…
