We report the preparation, crystallization, and solid-state characterization of the first members of a new family of spiro-bis-(1,9-diamino-substituted-phenalenyl)boron neutral radicals. The crystal structures show that the three radicals are monomeric and without close contacts in the crystal lattice. In all cases ma…

The NaZn13-type compounds La(Fe1−xCox)11.9Si1.1 (x=0.04, 0.06, 0.08) were successfully synthesized, in which the Si content is the limit that can be reached by arc-melting technique. TC is tunable from 243 to 301 K with Co doping from x=0.04 to 0.08. Great magnetic entropy change ΔS in a wide temperature range from ∼2…

Transparent Pb0.9125La0.0975(Zr0.65Ti0.35)0.976O3 ceramics (conventionally abbreviated as PLZT 9.75/65/35) is a typical relaxor characterized by the absence of the ferroelectric order at the macroscopic scale. In this letter, we report on the observation of complex polar structures on the surface of this material via…

Low-temperature transport measurements have been carried out on single-wall carbon-nanotube quantum dots in a weakly coupled regime in magnetic fields. Four-electron shell filling was observed, and the magnetic field evolution of each Coulomb peak was investigated. Excitation spectroscopy measurements have revealed Ze…

Getting organized: Highly ordered porous ZrO2 layers and nanotubes with very high aspect ratios (see SEM image) can be prepared by direct anodization of Zr in fluoride-containing electrolyte. The morphology of the layers is strongly affected by the electrochemical parameters used. Under optimized conditions, the ZrO2…

The temperature-dependent linewidths of excitons in ZnO quantum wells were studied by measuring the absorption spectra from 5 K to room temperature. We deduced experimentally the exciton-longitudinal-optical-phonon coupling strength, which showed reduction of coupling with decrease in well width. This reduction was ex…

Structure evolution during deformation of unfilled natural rubber (NR) vulcanizate and filled ones with carbon black or calcium carbonate was investigated by the synchrotron x-ray diffraction. The crystallization onset strain, α0, was found to decrease by the inclusion of the filler. However, corrected α0 values into…

We use inelastic neutron scattering and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to investigate the chemical short range order (CSRO), visible through prepeaks in the structure factors, and its relation to self diffusion in Al-Ni melts. As a function of composition at 1795K Ni self diffusion coefficients from experiment and…

We report growth characteristics of epitaxial $β$-Na$_{0.6}$CoO$_{2}$ and $γ$-Na$_{0.7}$CoO$_{2}$ thin films on (001) sapphire substrates grown by pulsed-laser deposition. Reduction of deposition rate could change structure of Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}$ thin film from $β$-phase with island growth mode to $γ$-phase with layer-b…

A combination of classical molecular dynamics (MD) and ab initio Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics (CPMD) simulations is used to investigate the adsorption of water on a free amorphous silica surface. From the classical MD SiO_2 configurations with a free surface are generated which are then used as starting configura…

We present a hybrid method for the simulation of colloidal systems, that combines molecular dynamics (MD) with the Lattice-Boltzmann (LB) scheme. The LB method is used as a model for the solvent in order to take into account the hydrodynamic mass and momentum transport through the solvent. The colloidal particles are…

The band calculation scheme for $f$ electron compounds is developed on the basis of the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) and the LMTO method. The auxiliary impurity problem is solved by a method named as NCA$f^{2}$v', which includes the correct exchange process of the $f^{1} \to f^{2}$ virtual excitation as the vert…

The interlayer coupling between (Ga,Mn)As ferromagnetic layers in all-semiconductor superlattices is studied theoretically within a tight-binding model, which takes into account the crystal, band and magnetic structure of the constituent superlattice components. It is shown that the mechanism originally introduced to…

The degree of entanglement of an electron with a hole in a vertically coupled self-assembled dot molecule is shown to be tunable by an external electric field. Using atomistic pseudopotential calculations followed by a configuration interaction many-body treatment of correlations, we calculate the electronic states, d…

A very large value of magnetic entropy change ∣ΔS∣=31J∕kgK was obtained at 201K under 5T in LaFe11.8Si1.2 melt-spun ribbons subjected to a very short-time annealing (2h∕1050°C). This value is much higher than that of a bulk LaFe11.44Si1.56 in this temperature range. The large ∣ΔS∣ is attributed to the first-order ther…

We observed dynamically driven phase transitions in isentropically compressed bismuth. By changing the stress loading conditions we explored two distinct cases: one in which the experimental signature of the phase transformation corresponds to phase-boundary crossings initiated at both sample interfaces, and another i…
