We report the growth and characterization of exchange bias and spin valve heterostructures based on the multiferroic antiferromagnet BiFeO3 on Si (001) substrates. Using Co0.9Fe0.1 as the ferromagnet, we demonstrate heterostructures with large negative exchange bias and negligible training (or a decrease in exchange b…

Abstract The homogeneous conversion of cellulose in the ionic liquid 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium acetate with 2‐furoyl chloride, p ‐toluenesulfonyl chloride, and triphenylmethyl chloride yields surprisingly pure cellulose acetate samples in any case. From NMR spectroscopic studies, it may be concluded that during the…

We develop a scheme for building the scalar exchange-correlation (xc) kernel of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) from the tensorial kernel of time-dependent {\em current} density functional theory (TDCDFT) and the Kohn-Sham current density response function. Resorting to the local approximation to the…

The ferromagnetic properties of epitaxial La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 thin films have been studied. The magnetic transition is affected by both strain and finite thickness. We have used a series of films of different thicknesses and on different substrates in order to quantitatively determine the change in Curie temperature contri…

Optical modulation of the effective refractive properties of a “fishnet” metamaterial with a Ag∕Si∕Ag heterostructure is demonstrated in the near-IR range and the associated fast dynamics of negative refractive index is studied by pump-probe method. Photoexcitation of the amorphous Si layer at visible wavelength and c…

The ground state structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of multiferroic ${\mathrm{TbMn}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{5}$ are investigated via first-principles calculations. We show that the ferroelectricity in ${\mathrm{TbMn}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{5}$ is driven by the noncentrosymmetric magnetic ordering, without invoking t…

Abstract Multi‐walled carbon nanotube/poly(ε‐caprolactone) composites (PCLCNs) were prepared by melt compounding. The rheology, nonisothermal crystallization behavior, and thermal stability of PCLCNs were, respectively, investigated by the parallel‐plate rheometer, differential scanning calorimeter, and TGA. Cole–Cole…

Transport in undoped graphene is related to percolating current patterns in the networks of n- and p-type regions reflecting the strong bipolar charge density fluctuations. Finite transparency of the p-n junctions is vital in establishing the macroscopic conductivity. We propose a random resistor network model to anal…

Potassium intercalation in graphite is investigated by first-principles theory. The bonding in the potassium-graphite compound is reasonably well accounted for by traditional semilocal density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. However, to investigate the intercalate formation energy from pure potassium atoms and g…

We show the evolution of Raman spectra with number of graphene layers on different substrates, SiO$_{2}$/Si and conducting indium tin oxide (ITO) plate. The G mode peak position and the intensity ratio of G and 2D bands depend on the preparation of sample for the same number of graphene layers. The 2D Raman band has c…

We evidence the importance of electron charging under nonequilibrium conditions for carbon-nanotube-based molecular bridges, using a self-consistent Green's function method with an extended Huckel Hamiltonian and a three-dimensional Poisson solver. Our analysis demonstrates that such feature is highly dependent on the…

We investigate experimentally the origins of gain in PbS colloidal quantum dot photodetectors. We employ measurements of photocurrent, its transient behavior, and dark current over a wide range of temperatures. We find the hole mobility to have an activation energy of 0.16eV, and we identify photosensitizing centers a…

Chalcogenide alloys are materials of interest for optical recording and nonvolatile memories. We perform ab initio molecular dynamics simulations aiming at shading light onto the structure of amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST), the prototypical material in this class. First principles simulations show that amorphous GST obtain…

Two delocalized states of metallic zigzag carbon nanotubes near the Dirac point can be localized by the Aharanov-Bohm magnetic field around 20 Tesla. The dependence of the localization on the length and diameter of the nanotubes shows that the localization-delocalization transition can be observed for 2 nm diameter tu…
