In this Letter, we calculate the density of states of graphene under a highly uniform magnetic field and white-noise random potential. We discover that the disorder-broadened zero-energy Landau band has a Gaussian shape and its width is proportional to the random potential variance and the square root of magnetic fiel…

A method to determine the thickness of a nonabsorbing thin film on an absorbing substrate is presented. A linear relation between the thin-film thickness and the tangent wavelength of the reflectance spectrum for a specific interference order is revealed, which permits the calculation of the thickness provided that th…

This paper reports the accurate measurement of the ReO 3 cell parameter as a function of temperature. The thermal expansion is confirmed to be negative over most of the temperature range from 5 to 300 K. The main problems with the measurements are the very small variations (in the range of 10 −5 Å) in the cell paramet…

A tetragonal perovskite PbMnO(3) was obtained by treating the 6H hexagonal perovskite phase at 15 GPa and 1273 K. Structural analysis using synchrotron X-ray diffraction suggested that PbMnO(3) crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P4/mmm, unlike PbTiO(3) and PbVO(3) which have a polar structure in space gro…

Abstract Two valencies instead of one! Stoichiometric valence and structural valence are two distinct properties of atoms. The former, stoich V , is derived from the composition of a compound and has integer values; the latter, struct V , depends on the structure of a compound and has non‐integer values. The scheme sh…

Control yourself! The mesoporous silica nanofibers (MSNFs) from dual structure-directing agents were fabricated inside the pores of porous alumina (AAO, see figure) by using vapor phase synthesis. The pore structures could be controlled to form a range of structures from mesocellular foams to cylindrical mesopores wit…

We report the results of a fast thermal desorption spectroscopy study of the H/D isotopic exchange kinetics in a few micrometer thick, pure polycrystalline ice film and in ice films doped with HCl. Using the isotopic exchange reaction as a probe of transport processes in ice, we determined the effective H/D interdiffu…

A pH-insensitive fluorophore is made to give pH-driven responses through its covalent incorporation within a nanostructure derived from pH-responsive polymers. Fluorophore-shell-crosslinked nanoparticles (SCKs) demonstrate notable enhancement of photophysical properties, in the physiological pH region. Fluorophore-SCK…

Whether adsorbates might effectively lower the ionization potential (IP) of open-ended boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) in order to design BNNTs based on flat-panel display devices is an unanswered question. In the present work, through density functional theory (DFT) calculations we present the first attempt on the ef…

Selected compositions of the Ba–Sr–Co–Fe–O system were synthesized from powders by the solid-state reaction method. Samples were equilibrated at 1273 K for 36 000 s in air. The resulting powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) at room temperature and by high-temperature in situ XRD. The phases present in…
