The large ferroelectric diode current modulated by bipolar polarization in epitaxial (111) BiFeO3 thin film has been observed. With the survey of different current leakage models, it is found that the space-charge limited current dominates the conduction. For the intrinsic physical understanding, the rectification of…

Liquid-phase exfoliation of graphite is a widely used method to obtain graphene nanosheets, and therefore the development of a simple and efficient exfoliation procedure remains challenging. Here, we present a one-step method of graphene exfoliation in lecithin/chloroform solution. The graphene nanosheets produced by…

Twice as good: Parallel electrochemical oxidation and reduction of a single parent polymer (P1) simultaneously provided two corresponding polymers (P2 and P3), which were easily separated. Upon UV irradiation, the color of the emissions of the P2 and P3 films were drastically different to that of P1 (left). Parallel r…

In the present study, grain boundary (GB) mobility was determined by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using two different techniques: the applied strain method and the adapted interface random walk method. The first method involves a driving force while the second method does not. Nevertheless, both methods led to…

We apply united-atom (UA) nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations to predict the thermal conductivity for amorphous polyethylene at room temperature with chain length (CL) increasing from 4 to 1260. The thermal conductivity is determined by the competition of the two mechanisms: (1) The collision among the UA be…

In this article, we examine the phenomenon of single-crystal halide salt wire growth at the surface of porous materials. We report the use of a single-step casting technique with a supramolecular self-assembly gel matrix that upon drying leads to the growth of single-crystal halide (e.g., NaCl, KCl, and KI) nanowires…

Here we report supramolecular hydrogelators made of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) and small peptides. The covalent linkage of Phe-Phe and NSAIDs results in conjugates that self-assemble in water to form molecular nanofibers as the matrices of hydrogels. When the NSAID is naproxen (1), the resultant hydr…

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is an insulating compound that is structurally similar to graphite. Like graphene, single sheets of BN are atomically flat, and they are of current interest in few-layer hybrid devices, such as transistors and capacitors, that contain insulating components.
