The state of art in the theoretical and experimental studies of transition metal doped oxides (dilute magnetic dielectrics) is reviewed. The available data show that the generic non-equilibrium state of oxide films doped with magnetic impurities may either favor ferromagnetism with high Curie temperature or result in…

Multiferroic heterostructures comprising ferroelectric and ferro(ferri)magnetic constituents have recently attracted considerable interest due to the strong coupling between magnetic and electric properties which may have interesting applications. Here we investigate the magnetoelectric coupling at the ferrimagnetic/f…

Using orthogonal projections, we investigate distance of a given elasticity tensor to classes of elasticity tensors exhibiting particular material symmetries. These projections depend on the orientation of the elasticity tensor, hence the distance is obtained as the minimization of corresponding expressions with respe…

We present results of temperature dependent measurements of dynamics of micellar nanoparticle - polymer composites of fixed volume fraction and variable polymer chain grafting density. For nanoparticles with lower grafting density we observe dynamically arrested state at low temperatures corresponding to an attractive…

We study the long-time dynamics of hexagonal directional-solidification patterns in bulk samples of a transparent eutectic alloy using an optical method which permits real-time observation of the growth front. A slow dilatation of the patterns due to a slight curvature of the isotherms drives the system into a permane…

Understanding the plasticity and strength of crystalline materials in terms of the dynamics of microscopic defects has been a goal of materials research in the last 70 years. The size-dependent yield stress observed in recent experiments of submicrometer metallic pillars provides a unique opportunity to test our theor…

High-resolution x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, infrared reflectivity and Hall effect measurements, combined with surface space-charge calculations, are used to show that electron accumulation occurs at the surface of undoped single-crystalline In2O3. From a combination of measurements performed on undoped and heavi…

Graphene samples prepared by the exfoliation of graphitic oxide and conversion of nanodiamond exhibit good hydrogen uptake at 1 atm, 77 K, the uptake going up to 1.7 wt %. The hydrogen uptake varies linearly with the surface area, and the extrapolated value of hydrogen uptake by single-layer graphene works out to be j…

Structures of set of serine-threonine and tyrosine kinases were investigated by the recently developed bioinformatics tool Local Spatial Patterns (LSP) alignment. We report a set of conserved motifs comprised mostly of hydrophobic residues. These residues are scattered throughout the protein sequence and thus were not…

The excited electronic states of noble metal Au and Ag nanocrystals are very different than those of molecules. Ag and Au nanocrystal optical transitions (plasmons) in the visible can be so intense that they significantly modify the local electromagnetic field. Also, coherent elastic Rayleigh light scattering is stron…

Inorganic glass is material having nanoscaled physical and chemical inhomogeneities ad initio because glass inherits thermodynamic fluctuations of concentration, density and anisotropy of a glass forming melt. Combining light scattering and high temperature acoustics data allows to use the effect of internal immersion…

Sm 0.5 Sr 0.5 CoO 3 cathode films for solid oxide fuel cells were deposited on Ce 0.9 Gd 0.1 O 1.95 disks using the electrostatic‐assisted spray pyrolysis method. While an increase of deposition temperature resulted in enhanced evaporation and diminished wetting of aerosol droplets on substrates and led to more porous…
