Micropores play a more important role in enhancing the electrochemical capacitance than mesopores and macropores; therefore, the effect of heteroatom doping into micropores on the electrochemical behavior is interesting. However, heteroatom doping into porous carbon materials would potentially change their pore struct…

The cooperative tilting distortions of n = 2 Ruddlesden–Popper oxides can be utilized to break the inversion symmetry of the host lattice and induce ferroelectric behavior. Unfortunately the desired a – a – c + /a – a – c + structural deformation is only stabilized in phases with extremely small structural tolerance f…

In this study, flakes of molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) with controlled size and thickness are prepared through sequential solvent exchange method by sonication in dimethylformamide (DMF) and N -methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solvents. While NMP acts more effectively in reducing the thickness of flakes, DMF shows better po…

A novel strategy to achieve thermally switchable photochromism in solid materials is reported, which relies on the preparation of polymeric core-shell capsules containing solutions of photochromic dyes in acidic phase-change materials. Upon changing the phase (solid or liquid) of the encapsulated medium, one of the tw…

Metasurfaces (metamaterials of near-vanishing thickness) are of interest for engineering subwavelength structures with complex responses. Typically a graphene metasurface exhibits just one or two resonances and absorbs light in a narrow frequency band, but this study demonstrates tunable broadband absorption due to hi…

In this paper, a finite-element implementation of linear second-strain gradient elasticity is introduced based on a Hellinger-Reissner variational principle in order to use standard finite-element methods. Displacement boundary conditions are applied to one or more vertices of different polyhedrons. As a result, a smo…

First Order Reversal Curves (FORCs) have been used for a number of years for the extraction of information from magnetization measurements. The results are most unambiguous for irreversible processes -- for a collection of Preisach hysterons, one gets a "FORC distribution" $ρ(H_{down},H_{up})$, the number of hysterons…

We study the effects of crystal anisotropy on optical phonon resonances in the second harmonic generation (SHG) from silicon carbide (SiC) in its reststrahl region. By comparing experiments and simulations for isotropic 3C-SiC and anisotropic 4H-SiC in two crystal cuts, we identify several pronounced effects in the no…
