The validity of the model for sintering under uniaxial pressure proposed by Bernard-Granger et al. has been investigated by studying the densification kinetics of a submicrometric α-alumina powder using hot pressing and spark plasma sintering devices. The identified key parameters of creep (i.e. stress exponent, appar…
The use of four different metal cations in a bi-component perovskite ABO3 structure with 50 : 50 substitution at A sublattice as well as B sublattice, opens up the door for materials designing, with the aim to improve ferroic properties. This can be achieved following two different routes; one using the concept of art…
When capillary flow occurs in a uniform porous medium, the depth of penetration is known to increase as the square root of time. However, we demonstrate in this study that the depth of penetration in multi-section porous layers with variation in width and height against the flow time is modified from this diffusive-li…
The concept of a layered metasurface constructed from loop nanoantennas for beam scanning in space is explored. Each layer of the metasurface can be envisioned as a shunt impedance sheet designable by modifying the loop configuration cell by cell. The single and concentric loop nanoantennas made of silver provide capa…
We investigated the transport properties of ${\text{Fe}}_{1+y}$${\text{Te}}_{0.6}$${\text{Se}}_{0.4}$ single crystals with different amounts of excess Fe prepared by ${\text{O}}_{2}$ annealing. The ${\text{O}}_{2}$ annealing remarkably improved transport properties. In particular, a strongly nonlinear Hall resistivity…
We propose an effective route to fully control the phase of plane waves reflected from electrically (optically) thin composite sheets. This becomes possible using engineered artificial full-reflection layers (metamirrors) formed by arrays of electrically small resonant bi-anisotropic particles. In this scenario, fully…
Phonon densities of states (DOS) of bcc $α$-$^{57}$Fe were measured from room temperature through the 1044K Curie transition and the 1185K fcc $γ$-Fe phase transition using nuclear resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. At higher temperatures all phonons shift to lower energies (soften) with thermal expansion, but the l…
Nano-composite films of Tin Sulfide (SnS) and silver (Ag) fabricated by thermal evaporation showed two prominent peaks in the visible region of their extinction spectra. Theoretical modeling of the extinction spectra suggest that these two peaks (500 nm and 580 nm) correspond to the longitudinal mode (LM) and transver…
We study the transition from flat to wrinkled region in uniaxially stretched thin elastic film. We set up a model variational problem, and study energy of its ground state. Using known scaling bounds for the minimal energy, the minimal energy can be written as a minimum of the underlying (convex) relaxed problem plus…
Electric and thermoelectric properties of silicene nanoribbons doped with Al and P impurity atoms are investigated theoretically for both antiparallel and parallel orientations of the edge magnetic moments. In the former case, appropriately arranged impurities can lead to a net magnetic moment, and thus also to spin d…
Rapidly aging societies, demands for improved organ functions and repair of damaged tissues has led to the use of synthetic materials in different parts of the human body. Traditional covalent chemistry has served us well in terms of the design of materials. The future of soft biomaterials demands ease of synthesis, m…
Polymer modified fillers in composites has attracted the attention of numerous researchers. These fillers are composed of core-shell structures that exhibit enhanced physical and chemical properties that are associated with shell surface control and encapsulated core materials. In this study, we have described an apt…
We present the results of the density functional theory study of Co_n Mo_m nanoclusters with n+m=x and 2<=x<=6 atoms on the all-electron level using the generalized gradient approximation. The discussion of the properties of the pure cobalt and molybdenium cluster is followed by an analysis of the respective mixed clu…
Rechargeable lithium, sodium, and aluminum metal-based batteries are among the most versatile platform for high-energy, cost effective electrochemical energy storage. Non-uniform metal deposition and dendrite formation on the negative electrode during repeated cycles of charge and discharge are major hurdles to commer…
Based on hybrid density-functional calculations, we propose that ferromagnetism in the prototypical bixbyite sesquioxide ${\text{In}}_{2}$${\text{O}}_{3}$ doped with Cr is due to Cr-oxygen vacancy complexes, while isolated Cr cannot support carrier-mediated magnetic coupling. Our proposal is consistent with experiment…
The topological surface states of mercury telluride (HgTe) are studied by ab initio calculations assuming different strains and surface terminations. For the Te-terminated surface, a single Dirac cone exists at the $Γ$ point. The Dirac point shifts up from the bulk valence bands into the energy gap when the substrate-…
We show from detailed magnetometry across 2--300 K that the ${\mathrm{BiFeO}}_{3}$-${\mathrm{Bi}}_{2}$${\mathrm{Fe}}_{4}$${\mathrm{O}}_{9}$ nanocomposite offers a unique spin morphology where superspin glass (SSG) and dilute antiferromagnet in a field (DAFF) coexist at the interface between ferromagnetic ${\mathrm{Bi}…
High quality epitaxial graphene films can be applied as templates for tailoring graphene-substrate interfaces that allow for precise control of the charge carrier behavior in graphene through doping and many-body effects. By combining scanning tunneling microscopy, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density…
An elasto-plastic model for concrete, based on a recently-proposed yield surface and simple hardening laws, is formulated, implemented, numerically tested and validated against available test results. The yield surface is smooth and particularly suited to represent the behaviour of rock-like materials, such as concret…
Optical and transport properties of materials depend heavily upon features of electronic band structures in proximity of energy extrema in the Brillouin zone (BZ). Such features are generally described in terms of multidimensional quadratic expansions and corresponding definitions of effective masses. Multidimensional…
