We report theoretical and numerical evaluations of the phase diagram for a model of patchy particles. Specifically, we study hard spheres whose surface is decorated by a small number f of identical sites ("sticky spots") interacting via a short-ranged square-well attraction. We theoretically evaluate, solving the Wert…
The Portevin-Le Chatelier(PLC) effect has been investigated by deforming Al-2.5%Mg alloy in the strain rate regime where simultaneously two types (type B and type A) of serrations appear in the stress strain curve. Our analysis reveal that in this strain rate regime the entire PLC dynamics for a particular strain rate…
Here, we report the existence of large remnant polarization and dielectric constant in PbTiO3 buffered polycrystalline (BiFeO_3)_{1-x} (PbTiO_3)_x thin films of composition x = 0.25, 0.30 and 0.35 around the morphotropic phase boundary. The films were deposited by chemical solution deposition on platinized silicon sub…
We studied the effect of quantum confinement on the size of the band gap in single layer epitaxial graphene. Samples with different graphene terrace sizes are studied by using low energy electron microscopy (LEEM) and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). The direct correlation between the terrace size ex…
A crystal plasticity theory was developed for use in simulations of dynamic loading at high pressures and strain rates. At pressures of the order of the bulk modulus, compressions o(100%) may be induced. At strain rates o(10^9)/s or higher, elastic strains may reach o(10%), which may change the orientation of the slip…
We present the first ab initio molecular dynamics study of collisions between metal-oxide clusters and surfaces. The resulting trajectories reveal that the internal degrees of freedom of the cluster play a defining role in collision outcome. The phase space of incoming internal temperature and translational energy exh…
In confined magnetically ordered structures one can observe vortices of magnetization and electromagnetic power flow vortices. There are topologically distinct and robust states. In this paper we show that in a normally magnetized quasi-2D ferrite disk there exist eigen power-flow-density vortices of magnetic-dipolar-…
We analyzed the X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectra of W L 1 - and L 3 -edges in order to determine the structure of various W species on TiO 2 . Two 2p → 5d transitions were observed in the second derivative of the W L 3 -edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra of all samples containing W…
An ideal nonbiofouling surface for biomedical applications requires both high-efficient antifouling characteristics in relation to biological components and long-term material stability from biological systems. In this study we demonstrate the performance and stability of an antifouling surface with grafted zwitterion…
Monodisperse sub-10 nm Rh nanocubes were synthesized with high selectivity (>85%) by a seedless polyol method. The {100} faces of the Rh NCs were effectively stabilized by chemically adsorbed Br- ions from trimethyl(tetradecyl)ammonium bromide (TTAB). This simple one-step polyol route can be readily applied to the pre…
We show that the low-energy electronic structure of arbitrarily stacked graphene multilayers with nearest-neighbor interlayer tunneling consists of chiral pseudospin doublets. Although the number of doublets in an $N$-layer system depends on the stacking sequence, the pseudospin chirality sum is always $N$. $N$-layer…
Flexible graphene films were prepared by the filtration of water-soluble noncovalently functionalized graphene sheets with pyrenebutyrate. The work presented here will not only open a new way for preparing water-soluble graphene dispersions but also provide a general route for fabricating conducting films based on gra…
We start the paper with a brief presentation of the main characteristics of graphene, and of the Dirac theory of massless fermions in 2+1 dimensions obtained as the associated low-momentum effective theory, in the absence of external fields. We then summarize the main steps needed to obtain the Hall conductivity in th…
The goal of this work is to first measure the second crossover energy E2S under stationary electron irradiation (charging conditions) and then to show that the charge balance occurs at this beam energy and not at E2C, the energy deduced from non-charging conditions (short pulse irradiation) as commonly assumed. The ex…
Alanine racemase activity was investigated in Bacillus subtilis. A putative second alanine racemase gene (yncD) was cloned in parallel with the previously identified alanine racemase gene, dal. Each of the B. subtilis genes, dal and yncD complemented the Escherichia coli Alr- DadX- double mutant alanine auxotrophic st…
Exchange bias (EB) and magnetic properties of ferrimagnetic (FI) Fe 3 O 4 and antiferromagnetic (AFM) Cr 2 O 3 nanocomposites prepared by mechanical alloying have been investigated. A large EB field of 2.2 kOe at 10 K is observed in one of the nanocomposites, which may be related to the uncompensated and pinned AFM sp…
The wearable wireless sensors powered with human body heat, which have been developed at IMEC and Holst Centre starting 2004, demonstrated that the power obtainable on the human body is large enough to power practical applications. The improving performance characteristics of the thermoelectric generators (TEGs) on hu…
Abstract Polycrystalline BiFeO 3 (BFO) thin films were successfully grown on Pt/Ti/SiO 2 /Si(100) and SrTiO 3 (STO) (100) substrates using the chemical solution deposition (CSD) technique. X‐ray diffraction (XRD) patterns indicate the polycrystalline nature of the films with rhombohedrally distorted perovskite crystal…
A tetranuclear cyano-bridged [{Ni(HL3)}{W(CN)8}]2 compound in a square geometry was formed by self-assembling of {W(CN)8}3- and {NiL3}2+ (L3=pentadentate ligand). The structure of the compound has been established by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The coordination sphere of the Ni ions is severely distorted with th…
The oxygen potentials of AmO 2− x were measured in the x range of 0.01–0.5 and the temperature range of 1000–1333 K by the electromotive force method. The oxygen potentials at 1333 K were −19.83 kJ/mol for x =0.019 and −319.1 kJ/mol for x =0.485, which were higher than those of CeO 2− x by approximately 200 kJ/mol for…
