Transport in graphene nanoribbons with an energy gap in the spectrum is considered in the presence of random charged impurity centers. At low carrier density, we predict and establish that the system exhibits a density inhomogeneity driven two dimensional metal-insulator transition that is in the percolation universal…

Abstract Herein, we demonstrate an ammonia nitridation approach to synthesize self‐supported ordered mesoporous metal nitrides (CoN and CrN) from mesostructured metal oxide replicas (Co 3 O 4 and Cr 2 O 3 ), which were nanocastly prepared by using mesoporous silica SBA‐15 as a hard template. Two synthetic routes are a…

CVD Diamond can now be deposited either in the form of single crystal homoepitaxial layers, or as polycrystalline films with crystal sizes ranging from mm, μm or nm, and with a variety of growth rates up to 100s of μm h −1 depending upon deposition conditions. We previously developed a model which provides a coherent…

The development of a SERS substrate with high uniformity and sample-to-sample reproducibility is reported. Nanostructured poly(p-xylylene) films are prepared using an oblique-angle polymerization method, and SERS-active metals are deposited onto the nanostructured polymer by using thermal evaporation (see figure). The…

The presence of certain kinds of defects at the edges of monohydrogenated zigzag graphene nanoribbons changes dramatically the charge transport properties inducing a spin-polarized conductance. Using an approach based on density functional theory and nonequilibrium Green's function formalism to calculate the transmitt…

Polytetrahydrofuran (PTHF)/clay nanocomposites were prepared by two routes: in situ cationic ring opening polymerization (CROP) and a method involving “click” chemistry. In the first method, PTHF chains were grown from the surface of the organo-modified montmorillonite clay by CROP of tetrahydrofuran (THF) through the…

The 2008 discovery of superconducting ferropnictides with Tc~26K-56K introduced a new family of materials into the category of high Tc superconductors. The ongoing project of understanding the superconducting mechanism and pairing symmetry has already revealed a complicated and often contradictory underlying picture o…

We present a high-resolution photoluminescence study of Er-doped ${\text{SiO}}_{2}$ sensitized with Si nanocrystals (Si NCs). Emission bands originating from recombination of excitons confined in Si NCs, internal transitions within the $4f$-electron core of ${\text{Er}}^{3+}$ ions, and a band centered at $\ensuremath{…

Following our recent interest in metamaterial-based devices supporting resonant tunneling, energy squeezing, and supercoupling through narrow waveguide channels and bends, here we analyze the fundamental physical mechanisms behind this phenomenon using a transmission-line model. These theoretical findings extend our t…

For decades scientists have been working on closed systems for transportation, catalysis and protection, which are inspired by natural cells. Only recently polymer based systems have emerged for these systems, since they are more robust, give protection from the environment and give a more stable membrane. Various met…

High-field 17 O MAS NMR was used to investigate the binding of self-assembled monolayers of 17 O-enriched phosphonic acids deposited on a titania anatase support. The spectra were recorded at two different magnetic fields (9.4 and 17.6 T), to improve the reliability of the simulations of the different resonances. The…

This paper applies the formalism of classical, Gibbs-Boltzmann statistical mechanics to the phenomenon of non-thermal damage. As an example, a non-thermal fiber-bundle model with the global uniform (meanfield) load sharing is considered. Stochastic topological behavior in the system is described in terms of an effecti…
