We systematically investigate the self-assembly of anisotropic cone-shaped particles decorated by ring-like attractive patches. We demonstrate that the self-assembled clusters, which arise due to the conical particle's anisotropic shape combined with directional attractive interactions, are precise for certain cluster…

In this short paper we first give a very simple derivation of the Landauer formula for a 2-point conductance of QJ $G^{2P}$, based on the uncertainty principle. The aim of this is to introduce this central equation of quantum transport to a general audience. Next we analyse the dynamics of setting up a steady-state cu…

Simultaneous increase of the ductility and strength of a bulk nanostructured Al alloy with an average grain size of ∼ 100 nm (curve NS) has been achieved by precipitating Guinier–Preston (G–P) zones, η′, and η particles (curve NS+P). Bulk nanostructured materials usually have high strength, but disappointingly low duc…

The stability of the superconducting dissipationless and resistive states in single-crystalline NbSe2 nanobelts is characterized by transport measurements in an external magnetic field (H). Current-driven electrical measurements show voltage steps, indicating the nucleation of phase-slip structures. Well below the cri…

Abstract We have systematically studied the critical current and the magnetic susceptibility as a function of the cooling rate through the order‐disorder transformation near 80 K for the κ‐(BEDT‐TTF) 2 Br organic superconductor. Our results show that the magnetic properties of these compounds depend strongly on the co…

Abstract The relaxation of the initial magnetic permeability has been measured in polycrystalline tetravalent‐doped magnetite with nominal composition Me x Fe 3‐x O 4 (Me: Ti, Sn, Si) with 0 < x < 0.4. The samples have been sintered at 1400 ºC in a reducing CO 2 atmosphere. The time decay of the initial permeabi…
