While the mass transport mechanisms and dynamics of molecular precursors, ultrathin films that precede spreading droplets, are well understood, the requirements for their formation and the reasons for the occurrence of different precursor shapes remain unclear. In this work, we study these requirements using molecular…

Two parallel optical surfaces often exhibit colorful fringes along the lines of equal thickness because of the interference of light. This simple phenomenon allows one to observe subwavelength corrugations on a reflective surface by simply placing on it a flat reference dielectric surface, a so-called optical flat, an…

Strontium cerate (SrCeO 3 ) is a well known proton conductor. In applications, it is frequently doped with yttrium to increase stability and promote ionic conductivity; however, the microscopic effects of doping and native defects are not fully understood. We use first-principles hybrid density functional calculations…

In Dirac materials, the low energy excitations behave like ultra-relativistic massless particles with linear energy dispersion. A particularly intriguing phenomenon arises with the intrinsic charge transport behavior at the Dirac point where the charge density approaches zero. In graphene, a 2-D Dirac fermion gas syst…
