We have demonstrated that the stimulated emission of surface plasmons propagating on top of multilayered hyperbolic metamaterials coated with dye-doped polymeric films has a much lower (2.5–7 times) threshold than that on top of thick Ag films. This observation correlates with more than 2-fold shortening of the sponta…

Cationic rhodium clusters, Rh(n)(+) (n = 4-8), were prepared in the gas phase by the laser ablation of a Rh rod. The Rh(n)(+) clusters were introduced into a reaction gas cell filled with nitric oxide (NO) diluted with He, where they were subjected to collisions with NO and He in a thermal equilibrium at 300 K. The NO…

We have proposed a theoretical formalism to study the long-time diffusion behavior of nanoparticles in polymer solutions by using mode-coupling theory (MCT). The non-hydrodynamic part Dmicro of the total diffusion coefficient D is calculated in the MCT framework where the polymer dynamic scattering function Γpp(k, t)…

The authors report on a facile method for introducing defects in graphene in a controlled manner. Samples were mounted face down between supports, and exposed to oxygen plasma in a reactive ion etching (RIE) system. Defect density and the rate of defect formation in graphene were analyzed according to the oxygen flow…

We have investigated the electronic properties of 1-, 2-, and 3-layer graphene upon surface adsorption of halogen molecules by means of density functional calculations. The most stable adsorption site is parallel to the graphene surface with the diatomic atoms centered over adjacent carbon rings. Bader analysis shows…

The morphology of the surface and the grain orientation of metal catalysts have been considered to be two important factors for the growth of white graphene (h-BN) by chemical vapour deposition (CVD). We report a correlation between the growth rate of h-BN and the orientation of the nickel grains. The surface of the n…

Tapered diblock copolymers are AB diblock copolymers modified by adding a gradient region between the blocks in which composition varies smoothly from one species to the other. This gives additional control parameters, the length of the taper and its direction, to control the microphase separation behavior. Using tape…

Sparse machine learning methods have provided substantial benefits to quantitative structure property modeling, as they make model interpretation simpler and generate models with improved predictivity. Sparsity is usually induced via Bayesian regularization using sparsity-inducing priors and by the use of expectation…

Scaling graphene down to nanoribbons is a promising route for the implementation of this material into devices. Quantum confinement of charge carriers in such nanostructures, combined with the electric field-induced break of symmetry in AB-stacked bilayer graphene, leads to a band gap wider than that obtained solely b…
