Here, we experimentally study the origin of d-electron heavy fermion (HF) behavior in iron-based superconductors (FeSCs) AFe_{2}As_{2} (A=K, Rb, Cs). Nuclear magnetic resonance on ^{75}As reveals a universal coherent-incoherent crossover with a characteristic temperature T^{*}. Below T^{*}, a so-called "Knight shift a…
We report a giant linear magnetoelectric coupling in strained ${\mathrm{BiMnO}}_{3}$ thin films in which the disorder associated with an islanded morphology gives rise to extrinsic relaxor ferroelectricity that is not present in bulk centrosymmetric ferromagnetic crystalline ${\mathrm{BiMnO}}_{3}$. Strain associated w…
A new type of Weyl semimetal state, in which the energy values of Weyl nodes are not the local extrema, has been theoretically proposed recently, namely type II Weyl semimetal. Distinguished from type I semimetal (e.g. TaAs), the Fermi surfaces in a type II Weyl semimetal consist of a pair of electron and hole pockets…
Topography evolution of Si(100) surface due to oblique incidence low energy ion beam sputtering (IBS) is investigated. Experiments were carried out at different elevated temperatures from 20$^{\circ}$C to 450$^{\circ}$C and at each temperature, the ion fluence is systematically varied in a wide range from $\sim$ 1$\ti…
Phosphorene has attracted tremendous interest recently due to its intriguing electronic properties. However, the thermal transport properties of phosphorene, especially for its allotropes, are still not well-understood. In this work, we calculate the thermal conductivities of five phosphorene allotropes (α-, \b{eta}-,…
We report on the emergence of an Electronic Griffiths Phase (EGP) in the doped semiconductor FeSb$_{2}$, predicted for disordered insulators with random localized moments in the vicinity of a metal-insulator transition (MIT). Magnetic, transport, and thermodynamic measurements of Fe(Sb$_{1-x}$Te$_{x}$)$_{2}$ single cr…
Multifunctional materials can be engineered by combining multiple chemical components, each conferring a well-defined function to the ensemble. Graphene is at the centre of an ever-growing research effort due to its combination of unique properties. Here we show that the large conformational change associated with the…
Inspired by the nacre, we demonstrated the integrated ternary artificial nacre nanocomposites through synergistic toughening of graphene oxide (GO) and nanofibrillar cellulose (NFC). In addition, the covalent bonding was introduced between adjacent GO nanosheets. The synergistic toughening effects from building blocks…
Solvent-free crystal structure of N,N -bis(propylacetyl)-1,6,7,12-tetrabromoperylene-3,4:9,10-bis(dicarboximide), PDI-Br 4, obtained by X-ray diffraction reveals the core-twisted perylene motif having π–π stacks at an interplanar separation of 3.7 Å. Slip-stacked arrangement of PDI units in PDI-Br 4 arises due to the…
Systematic microstructural statistics for 3 mol% yttria‐stabilized zirconia synthesized by both conventional sintering and flash sintering with AC and DC current were obtained. Within the gage section, flash sintered microstructures were indistinguishable from those synthesized by conventional sintering procedures. Wi…
Stereocomplex (SC) crystallization has been an effective method to improve the heat resistance of poly(lactic acid) (PLA). However, the preparation of SC-type PLA material is still a challenge because SC crystallization is much less prevailing than homocrystallization in the high-molecular-weight (HMW) poly( l -lactic…
Regularities among electronic configurations for common oxidation states in lanthanide complexes and the low involvement of f orbitals in bonding result in the appearance of several periodic trends along the lanthanide series. These trends can be observed on relatively different properties, such as bonding distances o…
First principle calculations are employed to calculate the electronic and magnetic properties of Co doped MoS2 by considering a variety of defects including all the possible defect complexes. The results indicate that pristine MoS2 is nonmagnetic. The materials with the existence of S vacancy or Mo vacancy alone are n…
In this study, segmented thermoelectric generators (TEGs) have been simulated with various state-of-the-art TE materials spanning a wide temperature range, from 300 K up to 1000 K. The results reveal that by combining the current best p-type TE materials, BiSbTe, MgAgSb, K-doped PbTeS and SnSe with the strongest n-typ…
As a model system of 2-D oxide material, layered δ-MnO2 has important applications in Li ion battery systems. δ-MnO2 is also widely utilized as a precursor to synthesize other stable structure variants in the MnO2 family, such as α-, β-, R-, and γ-phases, which are 3-D interlinked structures with different tunnels. By…
Resonant x-ray scattering shows that the bulk structure of the twist-bend liquid crystal phase, recently discovered in bent molecular dimers, has spatial periodicity without electron density modulation, indicating a lattice-free heliconical nematic precession of orientation that has helical glide symmetry. In situ stu…
Obtaining "hard" and "crack-resistant" glasses have always been of great important in glass science and glass technology. However, in most commercial glasses both properties are not compatible. In this work, colorless and transparent xAl2O3-(100-x)SiO2 glasses (30 ≤ x ≤ 60) were fabricated by the aerodynamic levitatio…
Approximately 20% of breast cancer cases are human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive. This type of breast cancer is more aggressive and tends to reoccur more often than HER2-negative breast cancer. In this study, we synthesized trastuzumab (TZ)-grafted dendrimers to improve delivery of docetaxel (DTX)…
The current state of thin film heterojunction solar cells based on cuprous oxide (Cu2O), cupric oxide (CuO) and copper (III) oxide (Cu4O3) is reviewed. These p-type semiconducting oxides prepared by Cu oxidation, sputtering or electrochemical deposition are non-toxic, sustainable photovoltaic materials with applicatio…
Synthetic methods produce libraries of colloidal nanocrystals with tunable physical properties by tailoring the nanocrystal size, shape, and composition. Here, we exploit colloidal nanocrystal diversity and design the materials, interfaces, and processes to construct all-nanocrystal electronic devices using solution-b…
