We study the high-temperature magnetic order in a quasi-two-dimensional honeycomb compound ${\mathrm{SrRu}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{6}$ by measuring magnetization and neutron powder diffraction with both polarized and unpolarized neutrons. ${\mathrm{SrRu}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{6}$ crystallizes into the hexagonal lead antimonate…
The structural and electronic properties of germanene coated Ge2Pt clusters have been determined by scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy at room temperature. The interior of the germanene sheet exhibits a buckled honeycomb structure with a lattice constant of 4.3 Å and a buckling of 0.2 Å. The zigzag edges o…
The purity of graphene samples is of crucial importance for their experimental and practical use. In this regard, the detection of the defects is of direct relevance. Here, we show that structural defects in graphene samples give rise to clear signals in the vibrational density of states (VDOS) at specific peaks at hi…
Spin Seebeck effect (SSE) holds promise for new spintronic devices with low-energy consumption. The underlying physics, essential for a further progress, is yet to be fully clarified. This study of the time resolved longitudinal SSE in the magnetic insulator yttrium iron garnet (YIG) concludes that a substantial contr…
The opening of a spin gap in the orthorhombic compounds $\mathrm{Ce}{T}_{2}{\mathrm{Al}}_{10}$ ($T\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\mathrm{Ru}\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\text{and}\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\mathrm{Os}$) is followed by antiferromagnetic ordering at ${T}_{N}=27$ and 28.5 K, res…
We present a permutation-invariant distance between atomic configurations, defined through a functional representation of atomic positions. This distance enables us to directly compare different atomic environments with an arbitrary number of particles, without going through a space of reduced dimensionality (i.e., fi…
Single-crystal silicon was hyperdoped with sulfur, selenium, and tellurium using ion implantation and nanosecond laser melting. The hyperdoping of such chalcogen elements led to strong and wide sub-bandgap light absorption. Annealing the hyperdoped silicon, even at low temperatures (such as 200–400 °C), led to attenua…
This letter reports on the femtosecond laser fabrication of gradient-wettability micro/nano-patterns on Si surfaces. The dynamics of directional droplet spreading on the surface tension gradients developed is systematically investigated and discussed. It is shown that microdroplets on the patterned surfaces spread at…
The Electron Localization Function (ELF) -- as proposed originally by Becke and Edgecombe -- has been widely adopted as a descriptor of atomic shells and covalent bonds. The ELF takes into account the antisymmetry of Fermions but it neglects the multi-reference character of a truly interacting many-electron state. Ele…
The alternating earlywood and latewood growth ring structure has a strong influence on the mechanical performance of Norway spruce. In the current study, tensile tests in the longitudinal and tangential directions were performed on a series of specimens representing one growth ring at varying relative humidities. All…
Three-dimensional (3D) Dirac semimetals are new quantum materials and can be viewed as 3D analogues of graphene. Many fascinating electronic properties have been proposed and realized in 3D Dirac semimetals, which demonstrate their potential applications in next generation quantum devices. Bismuth-antimony Bi1−xSbx ca…
Using soft x-ray spectromicroscopy, we investigate the magnetic domain structure in embedded nanomagnets defined in $\mathrm{L}{\mathrm{a}}_{0.7}\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{r}}_{0.3}\mathrm{Mn}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ thin films and $\mathrm{LaFe}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}/\mathrm{L}{\mathrm{a}}_{0.7}\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{r}}_{0.3}\mathrm{Mn}{\ma…
Three new phases of ternary transitional metal carbides, namely MAX phases, Nb4SiC3, Nb4GeC3 and Nb4GaC3 were proposed by means of density functional theory, and they were all predicted to be mechanically stable. It was figured out that the alpha type crystal structures of the hypothesized nanolaminates are energetica…
The transverse hygro-expansion of the Norway spruce wood is studied on the growth ring level using digital image correlation. This non-destructive technique offers the possibility to contactless study deformation fields of relatively large areas. The measured full-field strains are segmented into individual growth rin…
We report a systematic study of spin transport in antiferromagnetic (AF) insulators having a wide range of ordering temperatures. Spin current is dynamically injected from Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) into various AF insulators in Pt/insulator/YIG trilayers. Robust, long-distance spin transport in the AF insulators is observed, whi…
Geometric and electronic properties of folded graphene nanoribbons (FGNRs) are investigated by first-principles calculations. These properties are mainly dominated by the competition or cooperation among stacking, curvature and edge effects. For the zigzag FGNRs, the more stable structures are revealed to be AB stacki…
The electron-hole symmetry in graphene monolayer, which is analogous to the inherent symmetric structure between electrons and positrons of the Universe, plays a crucial role in the chirality and chiral tunneling of massless Dirac fermions. Here we demonstrate that both strain and charged-defect scattering could break…
High-quality (001)-oriented (pseudo-cubic notation) ferromagnetic YTiO3 thin films were epitaxially synthesized in a layer-by-layer way by pulsed laser deposition. Structural, magnetic, and electronic properties were characterized by reflection-high-energy-electron-diffraction, X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magn…
Relaxation of shear bands in a Pd40Ni40P20 bulk metallic glass was investigated by a combination of radiotracer diffusion and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, allowing to determine for the first time the effective activation enthalpy of diffusion along shear bands in a deformed glass. The shear bands relax during…
The aim of this study is to reveal theoretically and experimentally a limited contact time of a bouncing droplet on superhydrophobic surfaces with the rationally designed macrostructures. During impacting, the water droplet hydrodynamics is properly altered under the assistance of the macrotextures. As a consequence,…
