The dynamics of patterns in large two-dimensional domains remains a challenge in non-equilibrium phenomena. Often it is addressed through mild extensions of one-dimensional equations. We show that full 2D generalizations of the latter can lead to unexpected dynamical behavior. As an example we consider the anisotropic…
We study numerically the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) equation forced by external white noise in two space dimensions, that is a generic model for e.g. surface kinetic roughening in the presence of morphological instabilities. Large scale simulations using a pseudospectral numerical scheme allow us to retrieve Kardar-Par…
Using neutron inelastic scattering, we investigate the role of interstitial iron on the low-energy spin fluctuations in powder samples of Fe${}_{1+x}$Te${}_{0.7}$Se${}_{0.3}$. We demonstrate how combining the principle of detailed balance along with measurements at several temperatures allows us to subtract both tempe…
A phenomenological explanation of the magnetoelectric behavior of Co${}_{3}$TeO${}_{6}$ is developed. We explain the second harmonic generation data and the magnetic field induced spontaneous electric polarization in the magnetically ordered phase below 20 K.
The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in the Heusler compounds Co2FeSi and Co2FeAl is studied in dependence of the annealing temperature to achieve a general comprehension of its origin. We have demonstrated that the crystal quality affected by annealing processes is a significant control parameter to tune the electrical re…
We have demonstrated the effect of pressure on the steplike metamagnetic transition and its associated magnetostriction in (Eu$_{1-x}$Gd$_{x}$)$_{0.6}$Sr$_{0.4}$MnO$_{3}$ ($x=0$ and 0.1). The critical field initiating the field induced ferromagnetic transition in both samples is lowered by the applied pressure. The fu…
Bending the rules: The role of crystallinity in the generation of photomechanical effects is examined for a series of linear azobenzene-functionalized polyimides. The less pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) that is present in the polyimide the less crystalline it is, and therefore the more the cantilever bends when expos…
Despite all major breakthroughs in recent years of research concerning the complex events that lead to cancer expression and metastasis, we are not yet able to effectively treat cancer that has spread to vital organs. The various clinical phases originating from cancer diagnosis through treatment and prognosis require…
Photochromism of N-methyl-4,4'-bipyridinium (MQ(+)) salts and their metal complexes has never been reported. A series of MQ(+) coordinated halozinc complexes [(MQ)ZnX(3)] (X = Cl (1), Br (2), I (3)) and [(MQ)ZnCl(1.53)I(1.47)](2)(MQ)ZnCl(1.68)I(1.32) (4), with better physicochemical stability than halide salts of the…
Solid state PbS quantum dots (QDs)/TiO(2) heterojunction solar cells were produced by depositing PbS QDs on a 500 nm thick mesoscopic TiO(2) films using layer-by-layer deposition. Importantly, the PbS QDs act here as photosensitizers and at the same time as hole conductors. The PbS QDs/TiO(2) device produces a short c…
We evaluate the electronic, geometric and energetic properties of quasi 1-D wires formed by dangling bonds on Si(100)-H (2 x 1). The calculations are performed with density functional theory (DFT). Infinite wires are found to be insulating and Peierls distorted, however finite wires develop localized electronic states…
We developed an analytical approach, for a wave propagation in metal-dielectric nanostructures in the quasi-static limit. This consideration establishes a link between fractional geometry of the nanostructure and fractional integro-differentiation. The method is based on fractional calculus and permits to obtain analy…
In this letter, we show the presence of a spin-glass like phase in single crystals of magnetoelectric gallium ferrite (GaFeO3) below ∼210 K via temperature dependent ac and dc magnetization studies. Analysis of frequency dispersion of the susceptibility peak at ∼210 K using the critical slowing down model and Vogel-Fu…
We perform Raman scattering experiments on natural graphite in magnetic fields up to 45 T, observing a series of peaks due to interband electronic excitations over a much broader magnetic field range than previously reported. We also explore electron-phonon coupling in graphite via magnetophonon resonances. The Raman…
The energy of ionic thermal motion presents universally, which is as high as 4 kJ\bullet kg-1\bullet K-1 in aqueous solution, where thermal velocity of ions is in the order of hundreds of meters per second at room temperature1,2. Moreover, the thermal velocity of ions can be maintained by the external environment, whi…
Dirac-like surface states on surfaces of topological insulators have a chiral spin structure that suppresses back-scattering and protects the coherence of these states in the presence of non-magnetic scatterers. In contrast, magnetic scatterers should open the back- scattering channel via the spin-flip processes and d…
We report the observation of a "transparency window" in the dielectric resonant absorption spectrum of the relaxor ferroelectric K1-xLixTaO3 (KLT) in the vicinity of its weakly first order transition. This phenomenon is shown to be conceptually similar to the electro-magnetically induced transparency (EIT) phenomenon…
To understand the main spin relaxation mechanism in graphene, we investigate the spin relaxation with random Rashba field (RRF) induced by both adatoms and a substrate using the kinetic spin Bloch equation approach. The charged adatoms, on the one hand, enhance the Rashba spin–orbit coupling locally and, on the other…
Using a modified Lennard-Jones model for elliptic particles and spherical impurities, we present results of molecular dynamics simulation in two dimensions. In one-component systems of elliptic particles, we find an orientation phase transition on a hexagonal lattice as the temperature $T$ is lowered. It is also a str…
Cool cages! The use of phosphonates has led to formation of a family of manganese(II)–lanthanide(III) heterometallic cages with structurally beautiful cores (see figure). Magnetic studies show antiferromagnetic interactions within the manganese centers and huge entropy change in the {Mn4Gd6} complex, which, in princip…
