Using spin density functional theory we study the electronic and magnetic properties of atomically thin, suspended chains containing silver and oxygen atoms in an alternating sequence. Chains longer than 4 atoms develop a half-metallic ground state implying fully spin polarized charge carriers. The conductances of the…
In using the fully relativistic versions of the Embedded Cluster and Screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker methods for semi-infinite systems the magnetic properties of single adatoms of Fe and Co on Ir(111) and Pt(111) are studied. It is found that for Pt(111) Fe and Co adatoms are strongly perpendicularly oriented, while o…
We present a first-principles theory of dynamic arrest in colloidal mixtures based on the multicomponent self-consistent generalized Langevin equation theory of colloid dynamics [M. A. Chávez-Rojo and M. Medina-Noyola, Phys. Rev. E 72, 031107 (2005); M. A. Chávez-Rojo and M. Medina-Noyola, Phys. Rev. E76, 039902 (2007…
In the resistive phase transition in VO2, temperature excursions from points on the major hysteresis loop produce minor loops. We have found that for sufficiently small excursions these minor loops degenerate into single-valued, non-hysteretic branches (NHBs) having essentially the same or even higher temperature coef…
The electronic structure of the Cr ions in the diluted ferromagnetic semiconductor Zn 1- x Cr x Te ( x =0.03 and 0.15) thin films has been investigated using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and photoemission spectroscopy (PES). Magnetic-field ( H ) and temperature ( T ) dependences of the Cr 2p XMCD spectra c…
We investigate Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) of metal oxide on pristine and functionalized graphene. On pristine graphene, ALD coating can only actively grow on edges and defect sites, where dangling bonds or surface groups react with ALD precursors. This affords a simple method to decorate and probe single defect sit…
We investigate the microstructural evolution in a ferroelectric to antiferroelectric phase transition at the morphotropic phase boundary in the Bi(1-x)SmxFeO3 system. Continuous Sm3+ substitution on the A-site induces short-range anti-parallel cation displacements as verified by the appearance of localized 1/4(110) we…
Ultrafast multiexciton decay via Auger recombination is a major impediment for prospective applications of semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) in lasing and solar cells enabled by carrier multiplication. One important unexplored aspect of Auger recombination is the scaling of multiexciton lifetimes with the number of exc…
Stable aqueous solutions of ZnO@polymer core-shell nanoparticles with tunable photoluminescence are prepared through a simple sol-gel route. The copolymer shell has many hydrophilic external groups and a hydrophobic internal layer which connects ZnO cores through covalent bonds. The optimal samples show quantum yield…
Cellulose nanofibrils offer interesting potential as a native fibrous constituent of mechanical performance exceeding the plant fibers in current use for commercial products. In the present study, wood nanofibrils are used to prepare porous cellulose nanopaper of remarkably high toughness. Nanopapers of different poro…
A facile and scalable preparation of aqueous solutions of isolated, sparingly sulfonated graphene is reported. (13)C NMR and FTIR spectra indicate that the bulk of the oxygen-containing functional groups was removed from graphene oxide. The electrical conductivity of thin evaporated films of graphene (1250 S/m) relati…
Four dogs were treated for acute toxicity following ingestion of the popular garden shrub 'Yesterday, today, tomorrow' (Brunfelsia spp). Clinical signs included vomiting, diarrhoea, muscle tremors, anxiousness, opisthotonus and seizures. All dogs recovered following treatment with any or all of general anaesthetic, ga…
By using a phase-field model, we simulate formation and growth of stripe arrays starting with anisotropic growth of islands under the Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier on metal bcc(110) surfaces. The anisotropy is incorporated in terms of attachment kinetics that is locally limited at the island edge aligned to the y axis (or…
The existence of an energy gap of graphene is vital as far as nano-electronic applications such as nano-transistors are concerned. In this paper, we present a method for introducing arbitrary energy gaps through breaking the symmetry point group of graphene. We investigate the tight-binding approximation for the dispe…
The unusual magnetic properties of thin films of Fe1−xCoxOy {0≤x≤1} ferrite solid solutions have been explained through an investigation of their electronic structure. The x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra of the Fe L3-edge and K-edges show that Co replaces Fe3+ in the tetrahedral (Td) sites up to x…
This work concerns the investigation of porous poly(phenylquinoxaline)s (PPQ) films. The approach described relies on the in situ generation of foaming agents during the thermal curing of dense thin films of PPQ-containing thermolabile groups. For this purpose, a series of phenol-containing PPQ has been previously syn…
Sodium alumino-phosphate glasses co-doped with Yb 3+ and Tm 3+ ions have been prepared with notably low OH − content, and characterized from the viewpoint of their spectroscopic properties. In these glasses, Yb 3+ acts as an efficient sensitizer of excitation energy at 0.98 µm—which can be provided by high power and l…
Surface phonon dispersion of [Formula: see text]-B was measured using high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy. With adsorption of excess boron, an ordered structure of [Formula: see text] is found at the B coverage of about 0.8 ML. Another structure of 4 × 4 appears mixed with the [Formula: see text] phase a…
We report the effects of partial substitution of Ge onto the Ga sites of Fe 2 VGa by measuring electrical resistivity, Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity as a function of temperature. It is found that Ge substitution effectively dopes electrons to the system and thus causes a dramatic decrease in the electri…
We report a facile method to synthesize single crystalline copper 7,7,8,8- tetracyanoquinodimethane (CuTCNQ) nanostructures using the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. It was revealed that, through simply adjusting the temperature-rising rate in CVD process, the CuTCNQ nanostructures were controllable in both th…
