We study the rich crystalline phase behavior of amphiphilic spherical Janus colloids using a new formulation of self-consistent phonon theory that includes coupled translational and rotational entropic and enthalpic contributions to the free energy. In contrast to homogeneous spheres, broken rotational symmetry can re…

The binding of a series of substituted phenols as axial ligands onto a diiron(III)bisporphyrin framework have been investigated. Spectroscopic characterization revealed high-spin states of the iron centers in all of the phenolate complexes, with one exception in the 2,4,6-trinitrophenolate complex of diiron(III)bisp…

We demonstrate herein an effective method of forming a high-quality contact between metal and graphene on a wafer as large as 6 in. This gold-assisted transfer method producing no polymer residue on the graphene surface is introduced, and then the gold film is used directly as an electrode to form the transfer length…

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) blends and their composite were prepared by melt compounding. Maleic anhydride grafted PLA (PLA-g-MA) was used as a compatibilizer. With the addition of PBAT into PLA, elongation at break and impact strength increased but tensile strength and modul…

Many naturally occurring surfaces have superhydrophobicity that fulfils their functional demands, which has inspired considerable interest to develop similar artificial superhydrophobic surfaces with a variety of functionalities. Graphene is an ideal candidate for functional superhydrophobic surfaces due to its except…

Highly porous poly (ϵ-caprolactone) microfiber scaffolds can be fabricated using electrospinning for tissue engineering applications. Melt electrospinning produces such scaffolds by direct deposition of a polymer melt instead of dissolving the polymer in a solvent as performed during solution electrospinning. The obje…

When surfactant templates and hard templates are combined to synthesize silica and other inorganic solids with hierarchical pore structure, the mesopore development and orientation are influenced by interactions between the surfactant templates and the hard templates. Effects such as confinement, surface interactions,…

Recently a new class of optical interference coatings was introduced which comprises ultra-thin, highly absorbing dielectric layers on metal substrates. We show that these lossy coatings can be augmented by an additional transparent subwavelength layer. We fabricated a sample comprising a gold substrate, an ultra-thin…

As you like it: [Ag(η2-As4)2]+[pftb]− can be used to store yellow arsenic (As4). From it, As4 can be easily released to give concentrated, light-stable solutions. These As4 solutions, and those of white phosphorus (P4), allowed molecular As4 and P4 to be encapsulated inside giant, spherical aggregates and polymeric ma…

We formulate an atomistic-to-continuum coupling method based on blending atomistic and continuum forces. Our precise choice of blending mechanism is informed by theoretical predictions. We present a range of numerical experiments studying the accuracy of the scheme, focusing in particular on its stability. These exper…

Zinc antimony stands out among thermoelectrics because of its very low lattice thermal conductivity, close to the amorphous limit. Understanding the physical reason behind such an unusual crystal property is of fundamental interest for the design of new thermoelectric materials. In this work, we report the results of…

Microscopic mechanism for the Rashba-type band splitting is examined in detail. We show how asymmetric charge distribution is formed when local orbital angular momentum (OAM) and crystal momentum get interlocked due to surface effects. An electrostatic energy term in the Hamiltonian appears when such OAM and crystal m…

In this study, the temperature dependence of the spin Hall angle of palladium (Pd) was experimentally investigated by spin pumping. A Ni80Fe20/Pd bilayer thin film was prepared, and a pure spin current was dynamically injected into the Pd layer. This caused the conversion of the spin current to a charge current owing…

We present experimental evidence for hexagonal domain faceting in the ferroelectric polymer PVDF-TrFE films having the lower orthorhombic crystallographic symmetry. This effect can arise from purely electrostatic depolarizing forces. We show that in contrast to magnetic bubble shape domains where such type of deformat…

We report the operation of LaAlO3/SrTiO3 depletion mode top-gated junction field-effect transistors using a range of LaAlO3 thicknesses as the top gate insulator. Gated Hall bars show near ideal transistor characteristics at room temperature with on-off ratios greater than 1000. Lower temperature measurements demonstr…

The long spin diffusion length makes graphene very attractive for novel spintronic devices, and thus has triggered a quest for integrating the charge and spin degrees of freedom. However, ideal graphene is intrinsic non-magnetic, due to a delocalized π bonding network. Therefore, synthesis of ferromagnetic graphene or…
