We analyze the electronic properties of bilayer graphene with Bernal stacking and a low concentration of adatoms. Assuming that the host bilayer lies on top of a substrate, we consider the case where impurities are adsorbed only on the upper layer. We describe nonmagnetic impurities as a single orbital hybridized with…

Abstract Abstract. In the crystal structure of the clathrate‐I K8LixGe44–x/4□2–3x/4, the K atoms fill the polyhedral cages of a host framework formed by Li and Ge atoms. The phase has been obtained in two forms, at elevated temperatures with space group Pm$\bar{3}$ n, and at low temperatures with a 2a0 × 2a0 × 2a0 sup…

We study the linear and nonlinear acoustic response of SrTiO3 across its ferroelastic transition at Ta=105 K by time domain Brillouin scattering. Above Ta we observe that for a strain amplitude of ∼0.18% the sound velocity for compressive strain exceeds the tensile strain velocity by 3%. Below Ta we find a giant slowi…

Rice husk is a potential source for renewable energy and silica. To extract the maximum amount of silica, usually the rice husk is treated with strong acids that burn the organic part leaving behind a black residue. In this research, sulfuric acid is used as an oxidizing agent. Efforts are focused to find out more abo…
