We reported the high strength of magnetoelectric (ME) coupling of trilayered composites prepared by electro-deposition. The ME coupling of Ni–lead zirconate titanate–Ni trilayered structure was measured in the range of 1–120 kHz. The trilayered composites exhibit high ME voltage coefficient because of good interfacial…

We have designed and synthesized a new functional (amino reactive) highly efficient fluorescent molecular switch (FMS) with a photochromic diarylethene and a rhodamine fluorescent dye. The reactive group in this FMS -N-hydroxysuccinimide ester- allows selective labeling of amino containing molecules or other materials…

Alanates and boranates are studied intensively because of their potential use as hydrogen storage materials. In this paper we present a first-principles study of the electronic structure and the energetics of beryllium boranate, Be(BH4)2. From total energy calculations we show that - in contrast to the other boranates…

By combining ab initio all-electron localized orbital and pseudopotential plane-wave approaches we report on calculations of the electron affinity (EA) and the ionization potential (IP) of (5, 5) and (7, 0) single-wall carbon nanotubes. The role played by finite-size effects and nanotube termination has been analysed…

The observed correlation of oxygen vacancies and room temperature ferromagnetic ordering in Co doped ZnO 1−δ nanoparticles reported earlier (Naeem et al 2006 Nanotechnology 17 2675–80) has been further explored by transport and optical measurements. In these particles room temperature ferromagnetic ordering had been o…

Based on the two-step-switching model, the process of electromechanical poling of a ferroelectric ceramics is simulated. A difference of the remnant polarizations between two poling protocols (mechanical stress is applied before and after the application of poling field) is found from our simulations, which is also ob…

We present Monte Carlo simulations of the first stages of the coherent precipitation of copper in $\ensuremath{\alpha}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{Fe}$. Our method is based on a vacancy mediated diffusion model, which takes into account the dependence of vacancy concentrations and migration barriers on the local atomi…

We have investigated the transport properties of ${\mathrm{LaVO}}_{3}/{\mathrm{SrTiO}}_{3}$ Mott-insulator--band-insulator heterointerfaces for various configurations. The (001)-oriented $n$-type ${\mathrm{VO}}_{2}/\mathrm{LaO}/{\mathrm{TiO}}_{2}$ polar discontinuity is conducting, exhibiting a ${\mathrm{LaVO}}_{3}$ t…

Understanding the complementary roles of surface energy and roughness on natural nonwetting surfaces has led to the development of a number of biomimetic superhydrophobic surfaces, which exhibit apparent contact angles with water greater than 150 degrees and low contact angle hysteresis. However, superoleophobic surfa…

The pseudo-Fourier modal analysis of two-dimensional arbitrarily shaped grating structures is described. It is shown that the pseudo-Fourier modal analysis has an advantage of improved structure modeling over the conventional rigorous coupled-wave analysis. In the conventional rigorous coupled-wave analysis, grating s…
