We study the Kondo screening of a magnetic impurity adsorbed in graphene in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit interaction. The system is described by an effective single-channel Anderson impurity model, which we analyze using the numerical renormalization group. The nontrivial energy dependence of the host density of…

Composite materials have increasingly been used in construction and in the aerospace and automotive industries because they are lightweight, strong and corrosion resistant, and because their anisotropic properties can be controlled; maintenance costs are also low. However, there is a growing demand for improved compos…

We report an enhancement in light emission and electrical efficiencies of a Si nanocrystal (NC) light-emitting diode (LED) by employing indium tin oxide (ITO) nanowires (NWs). The formed ITO NWs (diameter < 50 nm) are compactly knitted and have a tendency to grow perpendicularly above the surface. The electrica…

Polyethylene (PE) pipe material may degrade into lower carbon number volatiles quickly during thermal welding when the welding temperature rises up to very high temperature. However, PE may also degrade into lower molecular weight (MW) polymer when subjected to a lower temperature. As a result, determination of the al…

The percolation threshold for polydisperse systems of (i) isotropically oriented, and (ii) perfectly aligned, circular disks is calculated within an analogy to a lattice model. Our results are expressed in terms of moments of the distribution function over the disk radii, and they closely resemble findings obtained fr…

The magnetic and microwave properties of a heterostructure composing of a composition-graded FeCoTa film and a [Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3]0.68-[PbTiO3]0.32(011) substrate were investigated with respect to a varied applied electric field. For the as-deposited sample in the initial unpoled state, the resonance frequency is 7.2 G…

Large, thin (50 μm) dry polymer sheets containing numerous surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) active Ag nanoparticle aggregates have been prepared by drying aqueous mixtures of hydroxyethylcelloulose (HEC) and preaggregated Ag colloid in 10 × 10 cm molds. In these dry films, the particle aggregates are protect…

Based on the recent concept of the photonic hyper-crystal—an artificial optical medium that combines the properties of hyperbolic materials and photonic crystals, we present the imaging system functioning as a Veselago lens. This planar lens shows a nearly constant negative refractive index with substantially reduced…

Through coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation, we aim to uncover the rupture mechanism of polymer-nanorod nanocomposites by characterizing the structural and dynamic changes during the tension process. We find that the strain at failure is corresponding to the coalescence of a single void into larger voids, nam…

Silica formation in a rubber matrix is studied. The hypothesis that the formation proceeds via inverse micelles where the hexylamine present, being a catalyst, also behaves as a surfactant, is made highly plausible. As well-known, the conversion of TEOS into a solid silica particles proceeds via hydrolysis and condens…

In many cases, the relativistic spin-orbit (SO) interaction can be regarded as a small perturbation to the electronic structure of solids and treated using regular perturbation theory. The major obstacle on this route comes from the fact that the SO interaction can also polarize the electron system and produce some ad…

Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is used to deposit multiwalled carbon nanotube networks (CNTs) onto electrically insulating glass fiber surfaces. We found that the thin networks on a single glass fiber surface exhibit semiconducting properties. This enables us to realize a single CNT-glass fiber as a probe with novel…

The plastic deformation behaviour of the Al–Si–Cu–Mg alloy with micro-additions of Zr–V–Ti was measured in the temperature range of 298–673 K and the true stress–true strain compression curves were used to calculate the dislocation slip distance (DSD). A new constitutive equation for the temperature dependent DSD was…
