In normal practice, ease in processing comes at the expense of a reduction in mechanical properties. Here we show that by controlled synthesis it is possible to synthesize a wide range of linear ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylenes that can be stretched uniaxially into tapes. In these uniaxially drawn tapes, the b…

This research was focused on the use of the modified Chapelle test as a direct laboratory methodology to access the pozzolanic activity of both experimental and commercial metakaolins. At the same time, this test was used in the evaluation of experimental metakaolins. This chemical test, performed during 16 hours at 9…

The electrical responses of a columnar liquid crystal (a diimidodiester derivative of benzo[ghi]perylene) deposited either by spin-coating or by thermal evaporation into a typical OLED device are compared. For the spin-coated film, homeotropic alignment was induced by thermal annealing, which enhanced the charge carri…

A novel 4-arm shaped amphiphilic azobenzene compound was synthesized. The tetraphenylethylene (TPE) core precursor was prepared and further modified by azo coupling reaction at the four peripheral groups. Colloidal spheres could be directly prepared by self-assembly of the prepared amphiphilic azobenzene compound in s…

Centrifugal casting of composites and ceramics has been widely employed to improve the mechanical and thermal properties of functional materials. This powerful method has yet to be deployed in the context of nanoparticles--yet size-effect tuning of quantum dots is among their most distinctive and application-relevant…

Hydrogen-doped indium oxide (In2O3:H) has recently emerged as an enabling transparent conductive oxide for solar cells, in particular for silicon heterojunction solar cells because its high electron mobility (>100 cm(2)/(V s)) allows for a simultaneously high electrical conductivity and optical transparency. Here, we…

Using a combination of molecular dynamics simulations and analytical calculations, we study dense bottle-brush systems in a melt and network state. Analysis of our simulation results shows that bottle-brush macromolecules in melt behave as ideal chains with effective Kuhn length b K . Simulations show that the bottle-…

The temperature-dependent stress-strain relations of monolayer black phosphorus (BP) under biaxial and uniaxial tension as well as shear deformation are investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The predicted strength and moduli are in good agreement with the available results from the first-principle me…

We have investigated low-frequency 1/f noise in the boron nitride–graphene–boron nitride heterostructure field-effect transistors on Si/SiO2 substrates (f is a frequency). The device channel was implemented with a single layer graphene encased between two layers of hexagonal boron nitride. The transistors had the char…

We demonstrate a vertical field-effect transistor based on a graphene/MoSe2 van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure. The vdW interface between the graphene and MoSe2 exhibits a Schottky barrier with an ideality factor of around 1.3, suggesting a high-quality interface. Owing to the low density of states in graphene, the p…

A novel spin-spin coupling mechanism that occurs during the transport of spin-polarized minority electrons in semiconductors is described. Unlike the Coulomb spin drag, this coupling arises from the ambipolar electric field which is created by the differential movement of the photoelectrons and the photoholes. Like th…

The objective of this work is to define the parameters of the three-term equation of state for uranium and plutonium, appropriate for conditions in which these materials are subjected to strong shock compressions, as in cylindrical and spherical implosions. The three-term equation of state takes into account the three…

Using the observed proportionality of CCSD(T) and MP2 correlation interaction energies [I. Grabowski, E. Fabiano, F. Della Sala, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 15, 15485 (2013)] we propose a simple scaling procedure to compute accurate interaction energies of non-covalent complexes. Our method makes use of MP2 and CCSD(T) co…

Three-dimensional topological Dirac semimetals (TDSs) are a new kind of Dirac materials that exhibit linear energy dispersion in the bulk and can be viewed as three-dimensional graphene. It has been proposed that TDSs can be driven to other exotic phases like Weyl semimetals, topological insulators and topological sup…
