A systematic molecular dynamics simulation study is performed to assess the effects of temperature and free edges on the ultimate tensile strength and Young's modulus of a single-layer graphene sheet. It is observed that graphene sheets at higher temperatures fail at lower strains, due to the high kinetic energy of at…
Bio-based commercially available succinate, itaconate and 1,4-butanediol are enzymatically co-polymerized in solution via a two-stage method, using Candida antarctica Lipase B (CALB, in immobilized form as Novozyme® 435) as the biocatalyst. The chemical structures of the obtained products, poly(butylene succinate) (PB…
A contact hole shrink process using directed self-assembly lithography (DSAL) for sub-30 nm contact hole patterning is reported on. DSAL using graphoepitaxy and poly (styrene-block-methyl methacrylate) (PS-b -PMMA) a block copolymer (BCP) was demonstrated and characteristics of our process are spin-on-carbon prepatter…
Knots and knotted fields enrich physical phenomena ranging from DNA and molecular chemistry to the vortices of fluid flows and textures of ordered media. Liquid crystals provide an ideal setting for exploring such topological phenomena through control of their characteristic defects. The use of colloids in generating…
The ability of left-handed materials to overcome the diffraction limit was first considered as one of the most exciting and challenging outcomes of the negative refraction concept. Flat lens focusing of elastic waves is, however, a challenge. We demonstrate broadband focusing of elastic waves at 10 kHz carrier frequen…
A new method is presented for measuring terms in the elastoresistivity tensor ${m}_{ij}$ of single crystal samples with tetragonal symmetry. The technique is applied to a representative underdoped Fe-arsenide, Ba(Fe${}_{0.975}$Co${}_{0.025}$)${}_{2}$As${}_{2}$, revealing an anomalously large and anisotropic elastoresi…
This article describes a CuInS2 quantum dot (QD)-sensitized solar cell (QDSSC) with a multilayered architecture and a cascaded energy-gap structure fabricated using a successive ionic-layer adsorption and reaction process. We initially used different metal chalcogenides as interfacial buffer layers to improve unmatche…
The effects of surface chemistry and the mobility of surface-tethered functional groups of various perfluorinated surfaces on their dewetting behavior toward polar (water) and nonpolar (n-hexadecane, n-dodecane, and n-decane) liquids were investigated. In this study, three types of common smooth perfluorinated surface…
We develop a photovoltaic colloidal quantum dot ink that allows for lossless, single-step coating of large areas in a manufacturing-compatible process. Our materials strategy involves a solution-phase ligand exchange to transport compatible linkers that yield 1-thioglycerol-capped PbS quantum dots in dimethyl sulfoxid…
A series of (Zn,Co)O layers with Co contents $x$ up to 40$%$ grown by atomic layer deposition have been investigated. All structures deposited at 160${\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$C show magnetic properties specific to II-VI dilute magnetic semiconductors with localized spins $S=3/2$ coupled by s…
It is generally accepted that the main cause of ultracold neutron (UCN) losses in storage traps is the upscattering to the thermal energy range by hydrogen adsorbed on the surface of the trap walls. However, the data on which this conclusion is based are poor and contradictory. Here, we report a measurement, performed…
Molecular beam epitaxy has been employed to obtain Ga${}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}$Mn${}_{x}$N films with $x$ up to 10% and Curie temperatures ${T}_{\text{C}}$ up to 13 K. The magnitudes of ${T}_{\text{C}}$ and their dependence on $x$, ${T}_{\text{C}}(x)\ensuremath{\propto}{x}^{m}$, where $m=2.2\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.…
Elastic storage modulus and loss of relaxor lead magnesium niobate ceramics, Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3, have been measured with dynamic mechanical analyzer in single cantilever mode in the temperature range from 170 K to 320 K and at frequencies from 0.1 Hz to 50 Hz. The dependence of the elastic susceptibility (inverse modulu…
La$_{1.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$NiO$_4$ is well known to have a colossal dielectric constant ($\varepsilon_R>10^7$). The La$_{1.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$NiO$_4$ nanoparticle powder was prepared by a combinational method of solid state reaction and high-energy ball milling. Magnetic measurements show that the material has a very small magneti…
An efficient protocol for the synthesis of differently substituted 1, 4-dihydropyridines in deep eutectic solvents under solvent-free conditions is reported herewith. Excellent yields of the resultant products have been obtained. Recyclability studies have also been performed for deep eutectic solvents with very littl…
Path-integral Monte Carlo calculations were performed to study the adsorption of $^4$He atoms on $α$-graphyne. We find that one $^4$He atom can be embedded onto the in-plane center of each hexagon of the graphyne. In the first $^4$He layer above the $^4$He-embedded graphyne surface, a Mott insulating state was observe…
The resonant behavior of vacancy states in graphene is well known but some ambiguities remain concerning, in particular, the nature of the so-called zero energy modes. Other points are not completely elucidated in the case of low but finite vacancy concentration. Here we concentrate on the case of vacancies described…
The structural and magnetic properties of polycrystalline YMn1-xMxO3 (M = Ti, Fe, Ga; x = 0, 0.1) have been studied by neutron powder diffraction and magnetic measurements to probe the effect of Mn site doping on the frustration behavior and magnetic structure of these compounds. The compounds are isostructural and cr…
The iterative diagonalization of a sequence of large ill-conditioned generalized eigenvalue problems is a computational bottleneck in quantum mechanical methods employing a nonorthogonal basis for {\em ab initio} electronic structure calculations. We propose a hybrid preconditioning scheme to effectively combine globa…
The formation of Ni(Pt)silicides on a Si(001) surface is investigated using an ab initio approach. After deposition of a Ni overlayer alloyed with Pt, the calculations reveal fast diffusion of Ni atoms into the Si lattice, which leads initially to the formation of Ni2Si. At the same time Si atoms are found to diffuse…
