The lack of a bandgap limits the application of pristine graphene in logic circuits and photonic devices. Breaking the inversion symmetry in bilayer graphene (BG) by charge transfer doping is a promising way to open a bandgap. In this work, a sizable bandgap is created in BG by the opposite doping from organic molecul…

We demonstrate the possibility of cloaking three-dimensional objects at multi-frequencies in the far-infrared part of the spectrum. The proposed cloaking mechanism exploits graphene layers wrapped around the object to be concealed. Graphene layers are doped via a variable external voltage difference permitting continu…

For many years the nature of the disordered structure of vaterite, a calcium carbonate polymorph that plays a significant role in biomineralisation, has been debated. In the past year, two independent studies (Angew. Chem., Int. Ed., 51, 7041; CrystEngComm, 14, 44) have proposed new, yet different models on the basis…

In situ high pressure XRD diffraction and Raman spectroscopy have been performed on 12 nm CeO2 nanoparticles. Surprisingly, under quasihydrostatic condition, 12 nm CeO2 nanoparticles maintain the fluorite-type structure in the whole pressure range (0-51 GPa) during the experiments, much more stable than the bulk count…

GaAs nanopillars with 150 nm - 200 nm long axial InGaAs inserts are grown by MOCVD via catalyst-free selective-area-epitaxy (SAE). The alloy composition of the InGaAs region, as determined by room-temperature photoluminescence (PL), depends critically on the pitch and diameter of the selective-area pattern geometry. T…
