Heteroepitaxy can involve materials with a misfit of crystal structure. Rotation domains in the epilayer are a fundamental consequence. We derive a general expression for their (minimum) number which is determined by the mismatch of the rotational symmetries of the substrate and epilayer. In the case of a mismatch of…

Zirconium diboride (ZrB 2 ) ceramics were densified by pressureless sintering (PS), hot pressing, or spark plasma sintering (SPS) of powders with a range of starting particle sizes and oxygen contents. Microstructural analysis of the ZrB 2 ceramics revealed a wide range of final grain sizes. SPS resulted in an average…

Layer multiplying coextrusion was used to create films with hundreds or thousands of alternating layers of two polymers. The constituent polymers were chosen to create a temperature window in which a crystallizable polymer could melt and recrystallize within the glassy confinement of an amorphous polymer. This enabled…

We investigate the dynamics of two coupled vortices driven by spin transfer. We are able to independently control with current and perpendicular field, and to detect, the respective chiralities and polarities of the two vortices. For current densities above $J=5.7*10^7 A/cm^2$, a highly coherent signal (linewidth down…

Stiff spheres: AFM experiments using a diamond-tip cantilever show that aromatic dipeptide nanospheres (see picture) have a remarkable metallic-like Young's modulus of up to 275 GPa. This exceptional value places these nanostructures as the stiffest organic materials reported to date, thus making them attractive build…
