We report the design and synthesis of two porous graphene frameworks (PGFs) prepared via covalent functionalization of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) with iodobenzene followed by a C-C coupling reaction. In contrast to RGO, these 3D frameworks show high surface area (BET, 825 m(2) g(-1)) and pore volumes due to the effe…

We present herein a short tripeptide sequence (Lys-Phe-Gly or KFG) that is situated in the juxtamembrane region of the tyrosine kinase nerve growth factor (Trk NGF) receptors. KFG self-assembles in water and shows a reversible and concentration-dependent switching of nanostructures from nanospheres (vesicles) to nanot…

Ordered mesoporous carbons with high pore accessibility are of great interest as electrodes in energy conversion and storage applications due to their high electric and thermal conductivity, chemical inertness, and low density. The metal- and halogen-free synthesis of gyroidal bicontinuous mesoporous carbon materials…

The bursting of bubbles at an air/liquid interface is a familiar occurrence important to foam stability, cell cultures in bioreactors and mass transfer between the sea and atmosphere. Here we document the hitherto unreported formation and dispersal into the water column of submicrometre oil droplets following bubble b…

We present numerical calculations of electronic structure and transport in Penrose approximants. The electronic structure of perfect approximants shows a spiky density of states and a tendency to localization that is more pronounced in the middle of the band. Near the band edges the behavior is more similar to that of…

We present the muon spin relaxation/rotation spectra in the multiferroic compound (Cu,Zn)$_{3}$Mo$_{2}$O$_{9}$. The parent material Cu$_{3}$Mo$_{2}$O$_{9}$ has a multiferroic phase below $T_{\rm N}$ = 8.0 K, where the canted antiferromagnetism and the ferroelectricity coexist. The asymmetry time spectra taken at RIKEN…

We present angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements of the surface states on in-situ grown (111) oriented films of Pb$_{1-x}$Sn$_{x}$Se, a three dimensional topological crystalline insulator. We observe surface states with Dirac-like dispersion at $\barΓ$ and $\bar{M}$ in the surface Brillouin zone, supp…

Heart disease is the leading cause of mortality in many industrialized nations and is often related to irregularities in electrical function that can radically damage cardiac functioning. The aim of this study is to develop a novel therapeutic hybrid scaffold that can couple electrical, mechanical, and biological prop…

We report a strong effect of interface-induced magnetization on the transport properties of magnetic tunnel junctions consisting of ferromagnetic manganite La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 and insulating cuprate PrBa2Cu3O7. Contrary to the typically observed steady increase of the tunnel magnetoresistance with decreasing temperature, t…

A new measurement technique for the spin Seebeck effect is presented, wherein the normal metal layer used for its detection is exploited simultaneously as a resistive heater and thermometer. We show how the various contributions to the measured total signal can be disentangled, allowing to extract the voltage signal s…

We present an ab-initio real-time-based computational approach to study nonlinear optical properties in condensed matter systems that is especially suitable for crystalline solids and periodic nanostructures. The equations of motion and the coupling of the electrons with the external electric field are derived from th…

We studied the effect of recrystallization and grain growth on grain boundary self-diffusion in ultrafine grained Ni prepared by high pressure torsion. Two Ni materials of low (99.6 wt. %) and high (99.99 wt. %) purity levels were compared and the kinetic properties of stationary and mobile grain boundaries were exami…

The buckled structure of silicene leads to the possibility of new kinds of line defects that separate regions with reversed buckled phases. In the present work we show that these new grain boundaries have very low formation energies, one order of magnitude smaller than grain boundaries in graphene. These defects are s…

The emerging field of complex oxide interfaces is generically built on one of the most celebrated substrates - strontium titanate (SrTiO3). This material hosts a range of phenomena, including ferroelasticity, incipient ferroelectricity, and most puzzlingly, contested giant piezoelectricity. Although these properties m…

Via a novel experiment, Liu et al. [Phys. Rev. B 85, 205418 (2012)] estimated the graphite binding energy, specifically the cleavage energy, an important physical property of bulk graphite. We re-examine the data analysis and note that within the standard Lennard-Jones model employed, there are difficulties in achievi…

We present the application of an evolutionary genetic algorithm for the in-situ optimization of nanostructures prepared by focused electron-beam-induced deposition. It allows us to tune the properties of the deposits towards highest conductivity by using the time gradient of the measured in-situ rate of change of cond…

Spectra of the C1s core hole, created in x-ray photoemission and screened by electronic excitations in pristine and doped graphene are calculated and discussed. We find that singular effects in the lineshapes are not possible in the pristine graphene, and their observation should be connected with the doping. However,…
