Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were dispersed and loaded homogeneously onto the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets via an electrostatic self-assembly process. The selective modification of the outmost surface with γ-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) was performed. The outmost surface of the APTES–HNTs (APHN…
The structural, dynamic, and vibrational properties during heat transfer process in Si/Ge superlattices are studied by analyzing the trajectories generated by the ab initio Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics simulation. The radial distribution functions and mean square displacements are calculated and further discussio…
Opening a sizable band gap in the zero-gap germanene without heavy loss of carrier mobility is a key issue for its application in nanoelectronic devices such as high-performance field effect transistors (FETs) operating at room temperature. Using the first-principles calculations, we find a band gap is opened at the D…
Mn-doped GaAs nanowires were grown in the self-catalytic growth mode on oxidized Si(100) surface by molecular beam epitaxy and characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, Raman scattering, photoluminescence, cathodoluminescence, and electron transport measurements. The transmission electron microsc…

We analyze possible nonlinear exciton-exciton correlation effects in the optical response of semiconductors by using a time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) approach. For this purpose, we derive the nonlinear (third-order) TDDFT equation for the excitonic polarization. In this equation, the nonlinear time-d…
The effect of different contents of Nd 2 O 3 on the thermal transition temperature, density and structure of 25 Bi 2 O 3 – 25 PbO – 50 B 2 O 3 has been investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA), infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR) and optical absorption . The amorphous phase has bee…
We study the origin of the cubic to tetragonal and tetragonal to monoclinic structural transitions in KCrF3, and the associated change in orbital order, paying particular attention to the relevance of super-exchange in both phases. We show that super-exchange is not the main mechanism driving these transitions. Specif…
Irradiation of natural pink and brown diamond by middle-ultraviolet light (photon energy > 4.1 eV) is seen to induce anomalous fluorescence phenomena at N3 defect centres (structure N3-V). When diamonds primed in this fashion are subsequently exposed to infrared light (even with a delay of many hours), a transient bur…
BiTeI is a giant Rashba spin splitting system, in which a non-centro symmetric topological phase has recently been suggested to appear under high pressure. We investigated the optical properties of this compound, reflectivity and transmission, under pressures up to $15$ GPa. The gap feature in the optical conductivity…
The combination of lanthanides and nanoparticles to develop new hybrid nanomaterials has become a highly topical area of research in the field of sensing, biomedical imaging, drug delivery, etc. However, these novel nanomaterials have to be carefully designed to ensure that the unique properties conveyed by each compo…
We report on the “flash” synthesis of CdSe/CdS core–shell quantum dots (QDs). This new method, based on a seeded growth approach and using an excess of a carboxylic acid, leads to an isotropic and epitaxial growth of a CdS shell on a wurtzite CdSe core. The method is particularly fast and efficient, allowing the contr…
Noble metal nanoparticles (e.g., gold and platinum) supported on TiO2 surfaces are utilized in many technological applications such as heterogeneous catalysts. To fully understand their enhanced catalytic activity, it is essential to unravel the interfacial interaction between the metal atoms and TiO2 surfaces at the…
We proved the existence of a universal flexoantiferrodistortive coupling as a necessary complement to the well-known flexoelectric coupling. The coupling is universal for all antiferrodistortive systems and can lead to the formation of incommensurate, spatially modulated phases in multiferroics. Our analysis can provi…
We performed a high-energy resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy investigation of overdoped Ba${}_{0.1}$K${}_{0.9}$Fe${}_{2}$As${}_{2}$ with ${T}_{c}=9$ K. The Fermi surface topology of this material is similar to that of KFe${}_{2}$As${}_{2}$ and differs from that of slightly less doped Ba${}_{0.3}$K${…
Electronic structure calculations obtained with an approach with density functional theory with an enhanced local Coulomb interaction, DFT+$U$, are presented for the relativistic magnetic insulator Sr$_{2}$IrO$_{4}$. The results are in accordance with experiments with a band gap and a small moment anti-ferromagnetic g…
During the last decades, several books have been devoted to the application of spectroscopic methods in mineralogy. Several short courses and meetings have addressed particular aspects of spectroscopy, such as the analysis of hydrous components in minerals and Earth materials. In these books, complete treatment of the…
The issue of the quantitative analysis of time-resolved photoluminescence experiments is addressed by developing and describing two approaches for determination of unimolecular lifetime, bimolecular recombination coefficient, and equilibrium free-carrier concentration, based on a quite general second-order expression…
In this study we address the crystal-chemistry of a set of five samples of F-rich amphiboles from the Franklin marble (USA), using a combination of microchemical (EMPA), SREF, and FTIR spectroscopy methods. The EMPA data show that three samples fall into the compositional field of fluoro-edenite whereas two samples ar…
Inspired by ultrastructural analysis of ex vivo human tissues as well as the physiological importance of structural density, we fabricated nanogrooves with 1:1, 1:3, and 1:5 spacing ratio (width:spacing, width = 550 nm). In response to the nanotopographical density, the adhesion, migration, and differentiation of huma…
