The formation of a (quasi) two-dimensional electron gas between the band insulators NaTaO3 and SrTiO3 is studied by means of the full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method of density functional theory. Optimization of the atomic positions points to only small changes in the chemical bonding at the interface…

Acid-induced double lactonization in triarylamine-conjugated dimethyl diethynylfumarate E-1 opens up a new synthetic route to Pechmann dyes. This one-pot reaction affords three donor-acceptor-donor quadrupolar molecules (P(55)-1, P(66)-1, and P(56)-1); P(56)-1 comprises a missing structural isomer of Pechmann dyes. Th…

Hafnia-alumina nanolaminates show improved smoothness and reduced crystallinity relative to pure hafnia in films formed by atomic layer deposition (ALD). However, typical nanolaminates also show reduced cross-plane thermal conductivity due to the much larger interface density relative to continuous films. We find that…

Abstract We show measurements on a bilayer graphene quantum dot (QD) with an integrated charge detector. The focus lies on enabling charge detection with a 30 nm wide bilayer graphene nanoribbon located approximately 35 nm next to a bilayer graphene QD with an island diameter of about 100 nm. Local resonances in the n…

In the study, we introduced the local mean free path of phonons with boundary effects. The local thermal conductivity distribution from boundary to film bulk region was obtained, and the boundary scattering effect was examined by introducing a phonon Knudsen layer thickness. We calculated the ratio of effective therma…

Using density functional theory calcualtions, we reveal a novel control on the functionalizations of hexagonal boron nitride ( h -BN) structures by carrier doping. When the system is electron-doped, adatoms (e.g., H or F atoms) will exclusively bond with B atoms, resulting in possible magnetization of the system, wher…

Abstract Carbon‐encapsulated ferromagnetic Cobalt nanoparticles (Co@C) have been synthesized by catalytic chemical vapour deposition (CCVD). The nanoparticles, mainly ranging between 10 and 15 nm, are tightly encapsulated by 2–3 concentric graphitic carbon shells and protected from oxidation. Because of their magnetic…
