We demonstrate high-efficiency excitonic emission with deep-ultraviolet (DUV) light of 235 nm at room temperature for a (111)-oriented diamond p-i-n junction light-emitting diode (LED) by introducing a thick i-layer. Significant enhancement in excitonic emission efficiency of over 500 times was observed for a diamond…

Controllable nanostructures with tunable dimensions were obtained via self-assembly of CBZ-L-lysine-functionalized tetrachloroperylene bisimides (4ClPBI-Lys). Depending on the nature of substitute, solvent polarity, and sample concentration, 4ClPBI-Lys could form nanosphere, nanowire, nanobelt, and nanosheet, which we…

Blend microspheres of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) have been prepared in compositions of 2:1, 1:1, and 1:3 (w/w) by the solvent evaporation technique. These pH-sensitive polymers were utilized to investigate the colon delivery of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), an anticancer drug. The sur…

We investigate adiabatic quantum pumping through a normal-metal--``insulator''--superconductor (NIS) junction in a monolayer of graphene. The pumped current is generated by periodic modulation of two gate voltages, applied to the insulating and superconducting regions, respectively. In the bilinear response regime and…

Nanoobjects have at least one dimension in the range from 1 to 100 nm. Thus, if radiation is used for dimensional metrology, it should preferably have a wavelength in or below this range. For example, x-ray reflectometry (XRR) using x-ray tubes with Cu Kα radiation is widely used for layer thickness measurements with…

The electronic structure of kaolinite with and without intrinsic defects has been studied by the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) and Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE) functionals and by the G${}_{0}$W${}_{0}$ approach. The band gap of defect-free kaolinite was estimated to between 6.2 and 8.2 eV. Analysis of the formation en…

On the GO: The basal plane allylic alcohol functionality of graphite oxide (GO) can be converted into N,N-dimethylamide groups through an Eschenmoser–Claisen sigmatropic rearrangement by using N,N-dimethylacetamide dimethyl acetal. Subsequent saponification of these groups affords the carboxylic acids (see picture), w…

Major challenges in drug formulation are the poor solid state stability of drug molecules, poor dissolution/solubility and/or poor pharmacokinetic properties (bioavailability), which may lead to unreliable in vitro-in vivo (IVIV) correlation. To improve current therapeutical strategies, novel means to deliver poorly w…

We demonstrate unambiguous evidence of the electric field control of magnetic anisotropy in a wedge-shaped Co film of varying thickness. A copolymer ferroelectric of 70% vinylidene fluoride with 30% trifluoroethylene, P(VDF-TrFE) overlays the Co wedge, providing a large switchable electric field. As the ferroelectric…

We study the effect of pressure on the localized magnetic moments induced by vacancies in bilayer graphene in the presence of topological defects breaking the bipartite nature of the lattice. By using a mean-field Hubbard model, we address the two inequivalent types of vacancies that appear in the Bernal stacking bila…

Stoichiometric, epitaxial LaCrO3 films have been grown on SrTiO3(001) by molecular beam epitaxy using O2 as the oxidant. Films grew in a layer-by-layer fashion, giving rise to coherently strained, structurally excellent films and surfaces which preserve the step-terrace structure of the substrate. The critical thickne…

We present a first-principles investigation of ferroelectricity in layered perovskite oxide La${}_{2}$Ti${}_{2}$O${}_{7}$ (LTO). Our calculations indicate that LTO's high-temperature (1770 K) ferroelectric transition results from the condensation of two soft modes that have the same symmetry and are strongly coupled a…

In the present study, we investigated the high-temperature thermoelectric (TE) properties of AgGaTe2 with chalcopyrite structure. We tried to enhance the TE properties of AgGaTe2 by reducing the Ag content. The reduction of Ag increased the carrier concentration, leading to enhancement of the dimensionless figure of m…

We introduce a new class of Pickering foams which can be manipulated using a magnetic field. These foams are stabilized by a mixture of magnetic and nonmagnetic particles. They exhibit excellent stability in the absence of a magnetic field, but can be rapidly destroyed on demand with the application of a threshold fie…
