Electrochromic polymers (ECPs) have been shown to be synthetically tunable, producing a full palette of vibrantly colored to highly transmissive polymers. The development of these colored-to-transmissive ECPs employed synthetic design strategies for broad color targeting; however, due to the subtleties of color percep…

Deep ultraviolet photoluminescence (PL) emission spectroscopy has been employed to investigate the origin of the widely observed deep level impurity related donor-acceptor pair (DAP) transition with an emission peak near 4.1 eV in hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). A set of h-BN epilayers were grown by metal-organic chem…

Encoded particles are one of the most powerful approaches for multiplex high-throughput screening. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) based codification can, in principle, avoid many of the intrinsic limitations due to conventional alternatives, as it decreases the reading time and particle size while allowing f…

While the interaction of energetic ions with solids is well known to result in inelastic energy loss to electrons and elastic energy loss to atomic nuclei in the solid, the coupled effects of these energy losses on defect production, nanostructure evolution and phase transformations in ionic and covalently bonded mate…

Nano iron oxo-hydroxides have numerous and increasing applications in biology and medicine. Assessment of their uptake and toxicity often requires cell culture but maintaining iron oxides uniformly nano-dispersed in such conditions can be challenging. We describe a balanced salt solution (BSS) compatible with cellular…

Photoresponse of bimetallic Au-Ag nanoparticle embedded soda glass (Au-Ag@SG) substrate is reported for surface plasmon assisted optical switching using 808 nm excitation. Au-Ag@SG system is made by an ion beam technique where Ag+ is introduced first in the soda glass matrix by ion exchange technique. Subsequently, 40…

Exchange bias effect in the ferromagnetic double perovskite compound Y2CoMnO6, which is also a multiferroic, is reported. The exchange bias, observed below 8 K, is explained as arising due to the interface effect between the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic clusters created by antisite disorder in this material. Be…

Recently, Kumar et al. [APL 104, 262905 (2014)] have reported quantum paraelectric glass state in SrCu3Ti4O12. Their analysis is based on the misconception about the effect of quantum fluctuations on paraelectric properties. There are very serious issues with their analysis of permittivity vs T data where authors trie…

We report the growth by molecular beam epitaxy of highly resistive GdN, using intentional doping with magnesium. Mg-doped GdN layers with resistivities of 103 Ω cm and carrier concentrations of 1016 cm−3 are obtained for films with Mg concentrations up to 5 × 1019 atoms/cm3. X-ray diffraction rocking curves indicate t…

Based on an energy variational approach, we propose a sharp interface model for simulating solid-state dewetting of thin films with (weakly) anisotropic surface energies. The morphology evolution of thin films is governed by surface diffusion and contact line migration. For the contact line migration, we introduce a r…

Inorganic photosensitizer coupled Gd-based upconversion luminescent (UCL) nanocomposites have potential application for both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancers using the light stability and biocompatibility of TiO2 inorganic photosensitizer. However, TiO2 inorganic photosensitiz…

Thermochromic VO2 films were prepared by reactive DC magnetron sputtering onto heated sapphire substrates and were used to make 100-nm-thick samples that were 10 μm wide and 100 μm long. The resistance of these samples changed by a factor ∼2000 in the 50 < Ts < 70 °C range of temperature Ts around the “critical” tempe…

We present a simple technique using a cavity-based resonance spectrometer to quantify the anti-damping torque due to the spin Hall effect. Modification of ferromagnetic resonance is observed as a function of small DC current in sub-mm-wide strips of bilayers, consisting of magnetically soft FeGaB and strong spin-Hall…

Thin films are a prerequisite for application of the emergent exotic ground states in iridates that result from the interplay of strong spin-orbit coupling and electronic correlations. We report on pulsed laser deposition of Li2IrO3 films on ZrO2:Y (001) single crystalline substrates. X-ray diffraction confirms prefer…

${\mathrm{Na}}_{2}{\mathrm{IrO}}_{3}$ is an intriguing material for which spin-orbit coupling plays a key role. Theoretical predictions have been made that the surface of ${\mathrm{Na}}_{2}{\mathrm{IrO}}_{3}$ should exhibit a clear signature of the quantum spin Hall effect. We studied the surface of ${\mathrm{Na}}_{2}…

We report a modulation of the in-plane magnetotransport in artificial manganite superlattice [(NdMnO3)n/(SrMnO3)n/(LaMnO3)n]m by varying the layer thickness n while keeping the total thickness of the structure constant. Charge transport in these heterostructures is confined to the interfaces and occurs via variable ra…
