Molecular ferroelectrics with high-temperature reversible phase-transition behaviors are very rare and have currently become one of the hotspots in the field of ferroelectric materials. Herein we display two new crown ether clathrates possessing unusual high-temperature ferroelectric phase-transition behaviors, cycloh…

A bulk dielectric polymer film with an intrinsic ultralow k value of 1.52 at 10 kHz has been successfully synthesized based on a novel polyimide FPTTPI. More importantly, such outstanding dielectric properties remain stable up to 280 °C. The excellent ultralow dielectric properties are mainly because of the larger fre…

One-way propagation of light, analogous to the directional flow of electrons in the presence of electric potential difference, has been an important goal in the wave-matter interaction. Breaking time-reversal symmetry in photonic flows is faced with challenges different from those for electron flows. In recent years s…

Recently, there has been a great deal of interest in using the photoisomerization of azobenzene compounds to control specific biological targets in vivo. These azo compounds can be used as research tools or, in principle, could act as optically controlled drugs. Such "photopharmaceuticals" offer the prospect of target…

<p>Semicontinuous gold films 4 nm to 12 nm thick were characterized using patterned coplanar waveguides over a frequency range of 100 MHz to 20 GHz. Such films can form two dimensional fractal aggregates mixed with dielectric voids with unusually large electromagnetic absorption. Surface conductance and microwav…

We investigate the catalytic activity of the subnanometer-sized bimetallic Au19Pt cluster for oxidation of CO via first-principles density functional theory calculations. For this purpose we consider two structurally similar and energetically close homotops of the Au19Pt cluster with the Pt atom occupying an edge (Td-…

ABSTRACT The delivery of sub‐micron droplets of dilute polymer solutions to a heated substrate by electrospray atomization enabled precisely controlled and continuous deposition, or growth, of block copolymer thin films. It also provided, in principle, the ability to fabricate heterolattice materials using sequential…

The geometry and internal packing of twisted ropes composed of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered, and a numerical solution in the context of the mesoscopic distinct element method (MDEM) is proposed. Compared to the state of the art, MDEM accounts in a computationally tractable manner for both the deformation of…

In this work, we have devised a new approach to measure the critical pressure that a liquid marble can withstand. A liquid marble is gradually squeezed under a mechanical compression applied by two parallel plates. It ruptures at a sufficiently large applied pressure. Combining the force measurement and the high-speed…

Exchange bias is often observed when anti-ferromagnetic and ferromagnetic phases coexist. The coexistence of two competing magnetic phases can persist to the lowest temperatures if the disorder-broadened 1st order transition separating them is interrupted, as is proposed in the kinetic arrest phenomenon. The fractions…
