The authors investigated shot noise properties in the graphene-based double barriers. The shot noise with the Fano factor equal to 1∕3 is found to occur at all conductance minimums including the Dirac point, which is a combined result of Klein tunneling, resonant tunneling, and quasiparticle chirality. The similarity…

We studied the phase transitions, domain morphologies, and polarizations in BaTiO3∕SrTiO3 superlattices grown on SrTiO3 substrates. Using the phase field approach, we discovered the remarkable influence of film/substrate interfacial coherency on the ferroelectricity of the SrTiO3 layers within a superlattice: it is an…

In this paper, we report on the use of two PTCDI-melamine supramolecular networks on Au(111) to trap C70 molecules. The different supramolecular networks were formed by changing the postannealing temperature after molecular deposition. We observed, using scanning tunneling microscopy, that the deposition of C70 onto a…

Multiwavelength Raman spectroscopy is employed to investigate ultrananocrystalline diamond films deposited by the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique. Recently, we have shown that the addition of nitrogen in the gas source during synthesis induce the formation of diamond $n$-type films, exhibiting the…

The effects of noble metal (NM) dopants (NM = Pt, Rh) on the structural and electronic properties of ceria are studied using a density functional theory (DFT) method, with the inclusion of on-site Coulomb interaction (DFT+ U ). It is found that these NM dopants give rise to large perturbations of the atomic and electr…

Laminated composites of magnetostrictive and piezoelectric layers have been developed for their magnetoelectric (ME) product tensor properties. In spite of the considerable progress in materials aspects, little attention has been given to ME laminate incorporation into a detection technology. Here, we present a ME tec…

Atomistic modelling studies of the apatite-type oxide ion conductor La9.33(GeO4)6O2 show that a key role of the O4 channel oxygen atoms appears to be as a reservoir for the creation of interstitial oxide ion defects, while the migration of these defects proceeds via the GeO4 tetrahedra.
