The present work reports the influence of zinc oxide (ZnO) seed layer annealing temperature on structural, optical and electrical properties of ZnO nanorod arrays, synthesized by hydrothermal method assisted by microwave radiation, to be used as UV sensors. The ZnO seed layer was produced using the spin-coating method…
A surfactant-free solution methodology, simply using water as a solvent, has been developed for the straightforward synthesis of single-phase orthorhombic SnSe nanoplates in gram quantities. Individual nanoplates are composed of {100} surfaces with {011} edge facets. Hot-pressed nanostructured compacts (Eg ≈0.85 eV) e…
The Dirac electron in the organic conductor $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ under pressure is analyzed using a tight-binding model with nearest-neighbor transfer energies and four molecules per unit cell. By noting that the Dirac point between the first and second energy bands emerges or merges followed by the level cros…

We investigate electrical transport in a three-dimensional massless Dirac fermion model that describes a Dirac semimetal state realized in topological materials. We derive a set of interdependent diffusion equations with eight local degrees of freedom, including the electric charge density and the spin density, that r…
The electronic structure of the tetradymites, Bi $$_2$$ Te $$_3$$ , Bi $$_2$$ Te $$_2$$ Se, and Bi $$_2$$ Se $$_3$$ , containing various dopants and vacancies, has been studied using first-principles calculations. We focus on the possibility of formation of resonant levels (RL), confirming the formation of RL by Sn in…
The injection of spin currents in semiconductors is one of the big challenges of spintronics. Motivated by the ultrafast demagnetisation and spin injection into metals, we propose an alternative femtosecond route based on the laser excitation of superdiffusive spin currents in a ferromagnet such as Ni. Our calculation…
In this paper, using the same geometrical approach as for the (2 √ 3 × 2 √ 3)R30° structure (Jamgotchian et al 2015 J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 27 395002), for the (√13 × √13)R13.9° type II structure, we propose an atomic model of the silicene layer based on a periodic relaxation of the strain epitaxy. This relaxation c…
Even though it has been known for decades that the magnetocrystalline anisotropy is linked to the spin-orbit coupling (SOC), the mechanism how it arises for specific systems is still subject of debate. We focused on finding markers of SOC in the density of states (DOS) and on employing them for understanding the sourc…
Since the discovery of its photovoltaic properties organometallic salt CH$_3$NH$_3$PbI$_3$ became the subject of vivid interest. The material exhibits high light conversion efficiency, it lases in red color, and it can serve as the basis for light emitting diodes and photodetectors. Here we report another surprising f…
Using density functional theory calculations, the ground state structure of BaFeO$_3$ (BFO) is investigated with local spin density approximation (LSDA). Cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, and rhombohedral types BFO are considered to calculate the formation enthalpy. The formation enthalpies reveal that cubic is the mos…
Uniform, mostly single-layer graphene with enhanced stability is demonstrated over Co film. The polycrystalline Co film deposited on a SiO2/Si substrate gives a continuous graphene layer that is easily transferred without the aid of any polymeric support, but preserving the material quality, as evidenced by Raman anal…
The Casimir free energy and pressure of thin metal films deposited on metallic plates are considered using the Lifshitz theory and the Drude and plasma model approaches to the role of conduction electrons. The bound electrons are taken into account by using the complete optical data of film and plate metals. It is sho…
We report a technique for transferring large areas of the CVD-grown, few-layer MoS2 from the original substrate to another arbitrary substrate and onto holey substrates, in order to obtain free-standing structures. The method consists of a polymer- and residue-free, surface-tension-assisted wet transfer, in which we t…
In the framework of solid-state cooling technology, four kinds of caloric effects, magnetocaloric (MC), electrocaloric (EC), barocaloric (BC) and elastocaloric (eC) effects, are compared in view of environment discussion and application fields. This field is primarily developed in the intention of protecting the envir…
Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite architecture could serve as a robust platform for materials design to realize functionalities beyond photovoltaic applications. We explore caloric effects in organometal halide perovskites, taking methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI$_3$) as an example, using all-atom molecular dynamic…
This paper considers the problem of heat transfer in a composite ceramic material where the structural elements are bonded to the matrix via a thin heat resistant adhesive layer. The layer has the form of a circular ring or close to it. Using an asymptotic approach, the interphase is modeled by an infinitesimal imperf…
Abstract The shape memory effect and pseudoelasticity in Cu nanowires represent a possible pair of mechanisms that prevents high aspect ratio nanosized field electron emitters from being stable at room temperature and permits their growth under high electric field. By utilizing hybrid electrodynamics–molecular dynamic…
We investigate a magnetic hysteresis loop with a remanent moment that couples to electric polarization to create coupled hysteretic multiferroic behavior in Lu2MnCoO6. Measurements of elastic neutron diffraction, muon spin relaxation, and micro-Hall magnetometry demonstrate an unusual mechanism for the magnetic hyster…
Monolayer-boron (borophene) has been predicted with various atomic arrangements consisting of a triangular boron lattice with hexagonal vacancies. Its viability was confirmed by the observation of a planar hexagonal B36 cluster with a central six-membered ring. Here we report a planar boron cluster doped with a transi…
