Nanocomposite hydrogels were developed by cross-linking nanofibrillated cellulose with poly(methyl vinyl ether-co-maleic acid) and polyethylene glycol. The cross-linked hydrogels showed enhanced water absorption and gel content with the addition of nanocellulose. In addition, the thermal stability, mechanical strength…

We carry out computer simulations of a simple, two-dimensional off-lattice model that exhibits inverse melting. The monodisperse system comprises core-softened disks interacting through a repulsive square shoulder located inside an attractive square well. By systematically varying the potential parameters, we increase…

Here, we show that a new class of glasses composed of heavy metal oxides involving transition metals (V2O5-TeO2) can surprisingly be designed from very basic tools using topology and rigidity of their underlying molecular networks. When investigated as a function of composition, such glasses display abrupt changes in…

A new iron-based superconductor, (Ca,Pr)FeAs2, was discovered. Plate-like crystals of the new phase were obtained, and its crystal structure was investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The structure was identified as the monoclinic system with space group P2₁/m, composed of two Ca(Pr) planes, Fe2As2…

Thermal grease, as a thermal interface material (TIM), has been extensively applied in electronic packaging areas. Generally, thermal greases consist of highly thermally conductive solid fillers and matrix material that provides good surface wettability and compliance of the material during application. In this study,…

This Letter describes an unprecedentedly large and photoreversible localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) wavelength shift caused by photoisomerization of azobenzenes attached to gold nanoprisms that act as nanoantennas. The blue light-induced cis to trans azobenzene conformational change occurs in the solid state…

We present an improved field-theoretic approach to the grand-canonical potential suitable for linear scaling molecular dynamics simulations using forces from self-consistent electronic structure calculations. It is based on an exact decomposition of the grand canonical potential for independent fermions and does neith…

We report the synthesis, crystal structure, thermal, dielectric, IR, and Raman studies of [NH4][Mg(HCOO)3] formate. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction shows that it crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P6322, with orientationally disordered NH4(+) ions located in the cages of the network. Upon cooling, [NH4][Mg(HCO…

We study extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation induced defects in single-layer graphene. Two mechanisms for inducing defects in graphene were separately investigated: photon induced chemical reactions between graphene and background residual gases, and disrupting the network of sp2 bonds, due to photon and/or photoelect…

Raman scattering spectra of the new Fe-based $S=2$ spin-ladder compound BaFe${}_{2}$Se${}_{2}$O are measured in a temperature range between 15 and 623 K. All six ${A}_{1g}$ and two ${B}_{1g}$ Raman active modes of BaFe${}_{2}$Se${}_{2}$O, predicted by the factor-group analysis, have been experimentally observed at ene…

We report the observation and interpretation of new Raman peaks in few-layer tungsten diselenide (WSe2), induced by the reduction of symmetry going from 3D to 2D. In general, Raman frequencies in 2D materials follow quite closely the frequencies of corresponding eigenmodes in the bulk. However, while the modes that ar…

Gas transport through intrinsic defects and tears is a critical yet poorly understood phenomenon in graphene membranes for gas separation. We report that independent stacking of graphene layers on a porous support exponentially decreases flow through defects. On the basis of experimental results, we develop a gas tran…
