We report an intriguing transition from the quantum spin Hall phase to the spin Hall effect upon segregation of thallium adatoms adsorbed onto a graphene surface. Landauer-Büttiker and Kubo-Greenwood simulations are used to access both edge and bulk transport physics in disordered thallium-functionalized graphene syst…

The purpose of core demagnetization is twofold: 1) to reduce the inrush currents when transformers are energized; and 2) to make sure that the frequency-response analysis (FRA) tests are consistent to avoid false diagnoses of damage during transportation. The significance of demagnetizing is presented on field measure…

Abstract The structural characterization and magnetic studies of three mononuclear MnIII complexes based on the dibenzoylmethanido (dbm–) ligand, Mn(dbm)3 (1) and [Mn(dbm)2(L)2](ClO4) (L = dimethyl sulfoxide, 2; L = pyridine, 3), are reported. The MnIII ions are in an axially elongated octahedral coordination geometry…

It was found that the MgH 2 + 10 wt% K 2 ZrF 6 sample started to decompose at around 250 °C, which was 100 °C and lower than in as-milled MgH 2 . The re/dehydrogenation kinetics had also improved significantly compared to the undoped MgH 2 .

A convergent, multistep protocol was employed for the synthesis of a Janus-type multivalent donor-acceptor system. The synthetic approach is based on a Sonogashira cross-coupling of two differently ferrocene-(Fc) substituted dendrons and a final sixfold [2 + 2] cycloaddition-retroelectrocyclization (CA-RE) reaction wi…

Al-doped ZnO (Al/ZnO) thin film is a promising alternative to an ITO electrode in solar cell applications due to its low price, non-toxicity and other promising properties. In this paper, Al/ZnO thin films at different substrate temperatures were deposited on glass substrates as transparent conducting (TCO) films by D…

Recent experiments suggest that organic aerosol particles may transform into a glassy state at room temperature under dry conditions. Information on glass forming processes in mixed inorganic/organic aerosol particles is sparse, however, because inorganic crystal nucleation is usually very likely in such mixtures. Her…

Peptide amphiphiles are known to form a variety of distinctive self-assembled nanostructures (including cylindrical nanofibers in hydrogels) dependent upon the solvent conditions. Using a novel coarse-grained model, large-scale molecular dynamics simulations are performed on a system of 800 peptide amphiphiles (sequen…

The first critical step in making vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT)-based thermal interface materials is to transfer the VACNTs on a large scale. Although VACNTs have been transferred by several methods, they were only transferred inadvertently in most cases. Here we report well-controlled weak-oxidation-assi…

We demonstrate that Fe4 molecules can be deposited on gold by thermal sublimation in ultra-high vacuum with retention of single molecule magnet behavior. A magnetic hysteresis comparable to that found in bulk samples is indeed observed when a submonolayer film is studied by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism. Scanning…
