We study experimentally the fracture dynamics during the peeling at a constant velocity of a roller adhesive tape mounted on a freely rotating pulley. Thanks to a high speed camera, we measure, in an intermediate range of peeling velocities, high frequency oscillations between phases of slow and rapid propagation of t…

A simple fabrication method of Ag nanoislands on ZnO films is presented. Continuous wave and time-resolved photoluminescence and transmission are employed to investigate modifications of visible and UV emissions of ZnO brought about by coupling to localized surface plasmons residing on Ag nanoislands. The size of the…

The chain-polymer Cu(II) ``breathing crystals'' C${}_{21}$H${}_{19}$CuF${}_{12}$N${}_{4}$O${}_{6}$ were studied using the x-ray diffraction and ab initio band structure calculations. We show that the crystal structure modification at $T=146$ K, associated with the spin crossover transition, induces the changes of the…

We report on detailed polarized small-angle neutron scattering on cubic FeGe in magnetic fields applied either along (transverse) the scattering vector or parallel (longitudinal)to the neutron beam. The ($H,T$) phase diagrams for all principal axes contain a segmented $A$-phase region just below the onset of magnetic…

First-principles density-functional theory calculations show switching magnetization by 90 degree can be achieved in ultrathin BFO film by applying external electric-field. Up-spin carriers appear to the surface with positive field while down-spin ones to the negative field surface, arising from the redistribution of…

Highly pure and solution processable white-light-emitting hybrids are presented. These soft-hybrids are designed by an organic-inorganic supramolecular co-assembly in water. White-light emission is achieved by partial energy transfer (ET) between donor and acceptor molecules anchored on the inorganic component. The un…
