Wilson's Numerical Renormalization Group method is used to study the paramagnetic ground state of the periodic Anderson model within the dynamical mean-field approach. For the particle-hole symmetric model, which is a Kondo insulator, we find that the lattice Kondo scale T_0 is strongly enhanced over the impurity scal…

Electronic and ionic structures of lead vacancies in PbTiO3 were studied using an ab initio approach. Even though the lead vacancy is found to be an acceptor with stable charge states ranging from 2- to 4- it does not form a tightly bound defect pair with a double donor oxygen vacancy. The formation of distant and nea…

Sonoluminescence spectra were collected from Cr(CO)6 solutions in octanol and dodecane saturated with various noble gases. The emission from excited-state metal atoms serves as an internal thermometer of cavitation. The intensity and temperature of sonoluminescence increases from He to Xe. The intensity of the underly…

The dynamic behavior of nickel atoms in graphitic carbon onions, observed by in situ atomic-resolution electron microscopy, shows the formation of stable new C-Ni phases. Nickel is observed to take substitutional in-plane positions in graphene layers, forming a planar graphitelike C-Ni lattice. Evidence is furthermore…

The phase behavior of rod-plate mixtures was investigated using model systems containing unambiguously rod- and plate-shaped colloids. We find that the theoretically disputed biaxial nematic phase is unstable with respect to demixing into an isotropic and two uniaxial nematic phases. The phase behavior at very high de…

We studied a polymer brush composed of homodisperse end-grafted chains in a binary A−B solvent mixture by means of numerical self-consistent-field calculations. The focus is on the case that the solvents have a solubility gap in the bulk phase behavior, and we investigated the system near the bulk binodal. We assume t…

The transition metal hydride cations, TMH + (TM = first transition metal row, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn), have been studied using valence bond (VB) theory to elucidate the bonding in these systems through VB concepts. Although the bonds appear extremely covalent by virtue of charge distribution, this appea…
