Big in, small out: Large-scale synthesis of AgBr nanowires with high aspect ratios has been successfully achieved for the first time through an extremely simple replacement process between bulk Ag foils and aqueous Fe3+, Br−, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) at room temperature. The AgBr nanowires exhibited higher photo…

The electrical properties of double perovskite Ho 2 NiTiO 6 (HNT) are investigated by impedance spectroscopy in the temperature range 30–420 °C and frequency range 100 Hz to 1 MHz. The X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the compound crystallizes in monoclinic phase. The imaginary part of impedance ( Z ″) as a fun…

Ionic conductivity of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) ‐ ammonium chloride (NH 4 Cl) based polymer electrolytes can be enhanced by incorporating ceramic filler TiO 2 into PEG‐NH 4 Cl matrix. The electrolyte samples were prepared by solution casting technique. FTIR studies indicates that the complex formation between the po…

Two calculation methods for iron-loss estimation of rotating machines are investigated. One is based on the conventional three-term expression. In this case, the losses are calculated from the time variation in the flux density obtained by the finite element analysis, which approximates the stator and rotor cores as s…

Poly(acrylic acid) consisting of 25 monomer units (PAA 25 ) was used to stabilize nanoparticle aggregates (NPAs) consisting of either NaGdF 4 or 50/50 mixtures of GdF 3 and CeF 3 . The resulting polymer-stabilized nanoparticle aggregates (NPAs) were developed and tested for their application as contrast agents for mag…

We present a density functional theory investigation of strained Ca$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$TiO$_3$. We have determined the structure and polarization for a number of arrangements of Ca and Sr in a 2$\times$2$\times$2 supercell. The a and b lattice vectors are strained to match the lattice constants of the rotated Si(001) fa…

We report a first-principles study of ${({\text{BaTiO}}_{3})}_{m}/{(\text{BaO})}_{n}$ superlattices for a wide range of periodicities $m/n$. We show that such a system develops a polar zone-center instability for sufficiently large $m/n$ ratio, which can be understood, at least qualitatively, from a simple electrostat…

We present a detailed analysis of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering from ${\text{Fe}}_{1.087}\text{Te}$ with unprecedented energy resolution. In contrast to the sharp peaks typically seen in insulating systems at the transition-metal ${L}_{3}$ edge, we observe spectra which show different characteristic features. Fo…

We investigate the nonuniform motion of a straight screw dislocation in infinite media in the framework of the translational gauge theory of dislocations. The equations of motion are derived for an arbitrary moving screw dislocation. The fields of the elastic velocity, elastic distortion, dislocation density and dislo…

Abstract This paper shows that an enhancement in the performance of commercial screen‐printed multi‐crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules can be achieved via luminescent down‐shifting of the incident light. Using fluorescent organic dyes dissolved in the pre‐existing poly‐ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) encapsulation…

The nitrogen-vacancy defect center (N-V center) is a promising candidate for quantum information processing due to the possibility of coherent manipulation of individual spins in the absence of the cryogenic requirement. We report a room-temperature implementation of the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm by encoding both a qubi…

Experiments on the iron–pnictide superconductors appear to show some materials where the ground state is fully gapped, and others where low-energy excitations dominate, possibly indicative of gap nodes. Within the framework of a five-orbital spin fluctuation theory for these systems, we discuss how changes in the dopi…

In this paper we describe a method to generate amorphous structures with arbitrary structural constraints. This method employs the Simulated Annealing algorithm to minimize a simple yet carefully tailored Cost Function (CF). The Cost Function is composed of two parts: a simple harmonic approximation for the energy-rel…

In disordered, viscoelastic or viscoplastic materials a sample response exhibits a recovery phenomenon after the removal of a constant load or after creep. We study experimentally the recovery in paper, a quasi two-dimensional system with intrinsic structural disorder. The deformation is measured by using the digital…

With a terahertz time-domain spectrometer (0.3 - 3.0 THz) we have measured the optical conductivity of the type-I clathrate Ba$_8$Ga$_{16}$Sn$_{30}$ at temperatures from 300 K down to 7 K. Independent six spectra superimposed on the Drude conductivity are identified to infrared active vibrational modes of guest Ba ion…

AC conductivity spectra of xAgI-(1-x)AgPO$_3$ fast ion conducting glasses spanning the flexible, intermediate (isostatically rigid) and stressed rigid phases are analyzed. The rescaled frequency dependent spectra are mapped into time-dependent mean square displacements out of which a typical lengthscale characterizing…
