This study gives a generalised smectic–hexatic phase diagram calculated by the Landau mean field theory. Our calculated phase line equations are fitted to the experimental phase lines, which represent first-order transition for the liquid crystals studied here. The temperature- and concentration-dependent phase lines…

We report the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth of the iron-based superconductors, Ba 1- x K x Fe 2 As 2 and SmFeAs(O,F). In the growth of Ba 1- x K x Fe 2 As 2 films, the key to incorporating volatile K in films is low-temperature (≤350 °C) growth in reduced As flux. The highest T c thus far obtained is T c on ( T…

We use density functional theory to study the properties of low index flat faces (i.e., not having steps) of lanthanum oxychloride LaOCl. We calculate the surface energies and the energies to make oxygen and chlorine vacancies on the surface by producing 1 / 2 O 2 or 1 / 2 Cl 2 in the gas phase. We find that the elect…
