The singularities of an irrotational magnetic field are lines of electric current. This property derives from the relationship between vector fields and the topology of the underlying three-space and allows for a definition of {cosmic field} flux tubes and flux ropes as \textit{cores} (in the sense of the physics of d…

In this article, we propose a facile method for synthesis of K 2 SiF 6 : Mn 4+ phosphor and discuss its promising application in warm‐white light emitting diodes ( LED ). The K 2 SiF 6 :Mn 4+ was synthesized from SiO 2 powders through redox reaction in HF / KMnO 4 solution. The optical properties of LED s containing d…

We present the first findings of the vacancy-related centers identified by the electron spin resonance (ESR) and electrically-detected (ED) ESR method in the non-irradiated 6H-SiC nanostructure. This planar 6H-SiC nanostructure represents the ultra-narrow p-type quantum well confined by the δ-barriers heavily doped wi…

Solotronics, optoelectronics based on solitary dopants, is an emerging field of research and technology reaching the ultimate limit of miniaturization. It aims at exploiting quantum properties of individual ions or defects embedded in a semiconductor matrix. As already shown, optical control of a spin of a magnetic io…

Current trends in parallel processors call for the design of efficient massively parallel algorithms for scientific computing. Parallel algorithms for Monte Carlo simulations of thermodynamic ensembles of particles have received little attention because of the inherent serial nature of the statistical sampling. In thi…

Straight, axial InAs nanowire with multiple segments of GaInAs were grown. High resolution X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) mapping reveal the distribution of group III atoms at the axial interfaces and at the sidewalls. Significant Ga enrichment, accompanied by a structural change is observed at the GaInAs/…

We investigate the lamellar growth of pearlite at the expense of austenite during the eutectoid transformation in steel. To begin with, we extend the Jackson-Hunt-type calculation (previously used to analyze eutectic transformation) to eutectoid transformation by accounting for diffusion in all the phases. Our princip…

We propose a concept of half-semiconductor antiferromagnets in which both spin-polarized valence and conduction bands belong to the same spin channel with completely compensated spontaneous magnetization. Using density functional theory plus Hubbard U (DFT+U) methods, we find a viable approach to achieve the half-semi…

We process one-dimensional (1D) NiO nanostructures in anodized alumina templates starting from electrochemically deposited Ni nanotubes (NTs), and characterize their morphology-dependent supercapacitance behavior. The morphology of the 1D NiO nanostructures is controlled by the time of annealing at 450°C. After 25 min…
