Hydrophobic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with alkyl chains of various lengths were inserted between CVD-grown graphene layers and their SiO2 substrates (figure). As the SAM alkyl chain length increased, substrate-induced doping was suppressed by the ordered close-packed structure of SAMs with long alkyl chains. Ac…

Hexagonal graphene flakes: Equiangular hexagon-shaped graphene domains are synthesized by methane chemical vapor deposition on copper surface in a controlled manner. These graphene domains possess either armchair or zigzag edge, and are formed via nucleation and growth mechanism. Left image is a typical AFM image of o…

Spider silks with periodic spindle-knots are skillful at collecting water from the foggy air. Under controlled fabrication conditions, a series of bioinspired artificial spider silks (BAS) with different sized spindle-knots are realized. Furthermore, the water collection ability of these BASs is investigated. The stud…

The existence of multiple ferroic orders in the same material and the coupling between them have been known for decades. However, these phenomena have mostly remained the theoretical domain owing to the fact that in single-phase materials such couplings are rare and weak. This situation has changed dramatically recent…

The local atomic structure of graphene oxide has been probed using synchrotron radiations. Detailed investigations of recently proposed simplistic model of graphene oxide using x-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy have been performed. X-ray diffraction measurements and calculations indicate loss of coherence betwee…

Terahertz magnetic resonance driven by the light electric field, now referred to as electromagnon, has stimulated interest due to its strong candidate for future spin-electronics. One unique characteristic of electromagnons is the terahertz magnetochromism, a color change by external magnetic field, as recently demons…

Abstract We observed the drying process of Pickering emulsions with a microscope. In the case of water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions stabilized by common surfactants, the emulsion droplets shrunk while maintaining their spherical shapes. On the other hand, in the case of w/o emulsions stabilized by solid particles, wrinkles…

Superhydrophobic nanocomposite coatings were fabricated by incorporating hydrophobically modified silica (HMS) nanoparticles in polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) emulsion. Hydrophobicity of the coating was dependent on the concentration of HMS. Coatings containing optimum amounts of PTFE and HMS exhibited superhydrophobi…

We derive a spin-dependent Hamiltonian that captures the symmetry of the zone edge states in silicon. We present analytical expressions of the spin-dependent states and of spin relaxation due to electron-phonon interactions in the multivalley conduction band. We find excellent agreement with experimental results. Simi…

Recent experimental breakthroughs have demonstrated that the electron spin in silicon can be reliably injected and detected as well as transferred over distances exceeding 1 mm. We propose an on-chip communication paradigm which is based on modulating spin polarization of a constant current in silicon wires. We provid…

We propose that a quantum anomalous Hall insulator (QAHI) can be realized in a nanopatterned two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) with a small in-plane magnetic field and a high carrier density. The Berry curvatures originating from the in-plane magnetic field and Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling, in combinat…
