Conventional metamaterial absorbers have multilayer designs, where the dielectric interlayer is sandwiched between a top patterned metallic structure and bottom metallic film. Here, we demonstrate that a highly polarization-sensitive perfect absorber canbe realized by replacing the bottom metallic film with a plasmoni…
Quasibrittle (or brittle heterogeneous) materials are becoming increasingly important for modern engineering. They include concretes, rocks, fiber composites, tough ceramics, sea ice, bone, wood, stiff soils, rigid foams, glass, dental and biomaterials, as well as all brittle materials on the micro or nano scale. Thei…
Among the known transition metal dichalcogenides, monolayer ${\mathrm{VS}}_{2}$ has attracted particular attention because of its intrinsic ferromagnetism and great application potential as a high-performance functional nanomaterial. Here, using first-principles calculations, we study the structural and electronic pha…
Subwavelength Mie resonators have enabled new classes of optical antenna and nanophotonic devices and can act as the basic meta-atom constituents of low-loss dielectric metasurfaces. In any application, tunable Mie resonances are key to achieving a dynamic and reconfigurable operation. However, the active tuning of th…
Core-shell architectures offer an effective way to tune and enhance the properties of noble-metal catalysts. Herein, we demonstrate the synthesis of Pt shell on titanium tungsten nitride core nanoparticles (Pt/TiWN) by high temperature ammonia nitridation of a parent core-shell carbide material (Pt/TiWC). X-ray photoe…
Sugarcane bagasse (SCB), one of the major lignocellulosic agro-industrial waste products, was used as a substrate for biosynthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) by halophilic archaea. Among the various wild-type halophilic archaeal strains screened, Halogeometricum borinquense strain E3 showed better growth and PHA a…
The SrTiO 3 modified rutile TiO 2 composite nanofibers were synthesized by a simple electrospinning technique. The result of XRD, SEM and TEM indicate that the SrTiO 3 /TiO 2 heterojuction has been prepared successfully. Compared with the TiO 2 and SrTiO 3 , the photocatalytic activity of the SrTiO 3 /TiO 2 (rutile) f…
N and S co-doped carbon quantum dots (N, S-CQDs) with high N- and S-doping level were synthesized by microwave solid-phase pyrolysis within 50 s. Owing to the dominant pyridinic N injection into the conjugated framework, both high enzyme mimics catalytic activity and photoluminescence quantum yield are achieved simult…
In situ-formed SiO 2 was introduced into HfO 2 gate dielectrics on Ge substrate as interlayer by plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD). The interfacial, electrical, and band alignment characteristics of the HfO 2 /SiO 2 high-k gate dielectric stacks on Ge have been well investigated. It has been demonstrated…
The poor corrosion resistance of biodegradable magnesium alloys is the dominant factor that limits their clinical application. In this study, to deal with this challenge, fluoride coating was prepared on Mg–Zn–Ca alloy as the inner coating and then hydroxyapatite (HA) coating as the outer coating was deposited on fluo…
Noise and decoherence due to spurious two-level systems (TLS) located at material interfaces is a long-standing issue in solid state quantum technologies. Efforts to mitigate the effects of TLS have been hampered by a lack of surface analysis tools sensitive enough to identify their chemical and physical nature. Here…
In this paper, we report large-scale configuration interaction (CI) calculations of linear optical absorption spectra of various isomers of magnesium clusters Mg$_{n}$ (n=2--5), corresponding to valence transitions. Geometry optimization of several low-lying isomers of each cluster was carried out using coupled-cluste…
The structural and electronic properties of amorphous silicon ($a$-Si) are investigated by first-principles calculations based on the density-functional theory (DFT), focusing on the intrinsic structural defects. By simulated melting and quenching of a crystalline silicon model through the Car-Parrinello molecular dyn…
We present the direct measurements of magnetoexciton transport. Excitons give the opportunity to realize the high magnetic field regime for composite bosons with magnetic fields of a few Tesla. Long lifetimes of indirect excitons allow the study kinetics of magnetoexciton transport with time-resolved optical imaging o…
Using the tight-binding approach, we analyze the effect of a one-dimensional superlattice (1DSL) potential on the electronic structure of black phosphorene and transition metal dichalcogenides. We observe that the 1DSL potential results in a decrease of the energy band gap of the two-dimensional (2D) materials. An ana…
The quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) phase is a novel topological state of matter characterized by a nonzero quantized Hall conductivity without an external magnetic field. The realizations of QAH effect, however, are experimentally challengeable. Based on ab initio calculations, here we propose an intrinsic QAH phase in…
The geometrically frustrated two-dimensional triangular lattice magnets $A{}_{4}{B}^{\ensuremath{'}}B{}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{12}$ ($A=\mathrm{Ba}$, Sr, La; ${B}^{\ensuremath{'}}=\mathrm{Co}$, Ni, Mn; $B=\mathrm{W}$, Re) have been studied by x-ray diffraction, ac and dc susceptibilities, powder neutron diffraction, and spe…
The contrast formation mechanism in Nanoscale Infrared Spectroscopy (Nano-IR or AFM-IR) is analyzed for the boundary between two layers with different light absorption, thermal and elastic parameters. Analytical results derived in the decoupling approximation for low frequency limit show that the response amplitude is…
A method is developed for generating pseudopotentials for use in correlated-electron calculations. The paradigms of shape and energy consistency are combined and defined in terms of correlated-electron wave-functions. The resulting energy consistent correlated electron pseudopotentials (eCEPPs) are constructed for H,…
High-entropy alloys, near-equiatomic solid solutions of five or more elements, represent a new strategy for the design of materials with properties superior to those of conventional alloys. However, their phase space remains constrained, with transition metal high-entropy alloys exhibiting only face- or body-centered…
