We present a detailed characterization of the recently discovered $\text{i-}R\text{-Cd}$ $(R=\mathrm{Y},\text{Gd-Tm})$ binary quasicrystals by means of x-ray diffraction, temperature-dependent dc and ac magnetization, temperature-dependent resistance, and temperature-dependent specific heat measurements. Structurally,…
A series of conjugated cationic polymers, differentiated only by their accompanying counter-anions, was prepared and characterized. The choice of counter-anion (CA) was found to drastically impact the solubility of the polymers and their optical properties in solution and in the solid state. Fluorescent polymer thin f…
Mesoporous nickel oxide nanoflowers (NiO NFs) can be easily synthesized by a two-step synthetic procedure based on modified hydrothermal (MHT) treatment of nickel acetate and ethanol amine in water followed by thermal decomposition at 350 °C for 4 h. After thermal treatment, the porosity is increased by 18% with reten…
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has recently been used to design novel nanoprobes called “SERS tags” which hold great promise for the fields of biosensing and nanomedicine. More recent advances have shed new light on the synthesis of uniform nanostructures with interior nanogaps for stable SERS enhancement. H…
Colloidal model systems allow studying crystallization kinetics under fairly ideal conditions, with rather well-characterized pair interactions and minimized external influences. In complementary approaches experiment, analytic theory and simulation have been employed to study colloidal solidification in great detail.…

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have emerged as a new two dimensional materials field since the monolayer and few-layer limits show different properties when compared to each other and to their respective bulk materials. For example, in some cases when the bulk material is exfoliated down to a monolayer, an i…
Optimal methods are explored for obtaining one-dimensional powder pattern intensities from two-dimensional planar detectors with good estimates of their standard deviations. Methods are described to estimate uncertainties when the same image is measured in multiple frames as well as from a single frame. The importance…
Graphene, a 2-dimensional monolayer form of sp 2 -hybridizated carbon atoms, is attracting increasing attention due to its unique and superior physicochemical properties. Covalently functionalized graphene layers, with their modifiable chemical functionality and useful electrical properties, are excellent candidates f…
The Mn3Ga Heusler compound and related alloys are the most promising materials for the realization of spin-transfer-torque magnetoresistive memories. Mn–Ga films exhibits perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and high spin polarization and can be used to improve the performance of MgO-based magneto tunneling junctions. Th…
Synthetic antiferromagnets with strong perpendicular anisotropy can be modeled by layered Ising antiferromagnets. Accounting for the fact that in the experimental systems the ferromagnetic layers, coupled antiferromagnetically via spacers, are multilayers, we propose a description through Ising films where ferromagnet…
We present here a fully first-principles method for predicting the atomic structure of interfaces. Our method is based on the ab initio random structure searching (AIRSS) approach, applied here to treat two-dimensional defects. The method relies on repeatedly generating random structures in the vicinity of the interfa…
The origin of magnetism and superconductivity in iron-based superconductors is still unclear. Here, by investigating the momentum-dependent particle-hole excitations which quantify the tendency of itinerant electrons towards various magnetic states or superconducting phases, we unravel a novel origin to account for th…
An expression is derived within the framework of the Debye-Hückel approximation for the screening length of a field in a p-type semiconductor taking into account the energy spread of immobile acceptor levels and the density of states tail of the valence band. It is shown that the screening length depends additively on…
We investigate transport in graphene supported on various dielectrics (SiO2, BN, Al2O3, and HfO2) through a hydrodynamic model which includes self-heating and thermal coupling to the substrate, scattering with ionized impurities, graphene phonons, and dynamically screened interfacial plasmon-phonon (IPP) modes. We unc…
We report on the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity of single crystalline and polycrystalline organometallic perovskite CH3NH3PbI3. The comparable absolute values and temperature dependence of the two sample's morphologies indicate the minor role of the grain boundaries on the heat transport. Theoretical m…
The results of a computational X-ray cross-correlation analysis (XCCA) study on two-dimensional polygonal model structures are presented. This article shows how to detect and identify the orientational order of such systems, demonstrates how to eliminate the influence of the `computational box' on the XCCA results and…
Highly efficient heterogeneous catalysts are desired for the development of new energy storage materials. The rational choice and use of capping ligands are of significant importance for performance optimization of metal nanoparticle (NP) catalysts. By exploiting amine-rich polyethylenimine (PEI) and graphene oxide (G…
The performance requirements of the concrete of containment structures are mainly radiological protection, structural integrity, durability, etc. For this purpose, high-performance heavy density concrete can be used. After extensive trials and errors, 15 concrete mixes were prepared by using coarse aggregates of barit…
Annealed ultradispersed nanodiamond (ADD) with sp(2) curved concentric graphitic shells is an interesting hybrid material consisting of the remarkable surface properties of graphene-based nanomaterials and the intrinsic properties of a diamond core. In this case, based on its specific properties and surface oxygen fun…
