The compositional variation of the non‐reversing enthalpy at T g , Δ H nr ( x ), in Ge x Se 100− x glasses decreases abruptly by an order of magnitude as x increases to x c (1) = 19.5(5)%, the rigidity transition, and then remains minuscule till x increases to x c (2) = 26.0(5)%, when the term abruptly increases by an…

In this paper, the preparation and characterization of oxygen barrier pullulan sodium montmorillonite (Na(+)-MMT) nanocomposite coatings are presented for the first time. Full exfoliation of platelets during preparation of the coating water dispersions was mediated by ultrasonic treatment, which turned out to be a piv…

Conjugated polymers and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are important constituents of modern functional hybrid materials. Their utilization as photoactive layers in organic solar cells requires better understanding of the relation between the structure and composition of the hybrids and their photovoltaic efficiency. While fu…

We propose a kind of stereometamaterial composed of periodic structures with twisted asymmetrical split-ring (ASR) resonators. The proposed stereometamaterial has intrinsic chirality and can be used as a multiband polarization spectral filter. Full-wave simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the stereome…

Here, we report self- and directed assembly of CuIn(1-x)Ga(x)S(2) (CIGS) nanorods into highly ordered 2D and 3D superstructures. The assembly protocol is dictated by the ligand environment and is hence chemically tunable. Thiol capped nanorods spontaneously assemble into 3D aligned nanorod clusters over a period of ho…

We studied phase separation in the single-crystalline antiferromagnetic superconductor Rb(2)Fe(4)Se(5) (RFS) using a combination of scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy and low-energy muon spin rotation (LE-μSR). We demonstrate that the antiferromagnetic and superconducting phases segregate into nano…

This study reports the simple synthesis of MFe 2 O 4 (where M = Zn , Mn, and Co) nanoparticles by a thermal treatment method, followed by calcination at various temperatures from 723 to 873 K. Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) was used as a capping agent to stabilize the particles and prevent them from agglomeration. The…

In the formation of colloidal molecules, directional interactions are crucial for controlling the spatial distribution of the building blocks. Anisotropic nanoparticles facilitate directional clustering via steric constraints imposed by each specific shape, thereby restricting assembly along certain directions. We sho…

In equilibrium molecular dynamics, Einstein relation can be used to calculate the thermal conductivity. This method is equivalent to Green-Kubo relation and it does not require a derivation of an analytical form for the heat current. However, it is not as commonly used as Green-Kubo relationship. Its wide use is hinde…

The cooling of hot electrons in graphene is the critical process underlying the operation of exciting new graphene-based optoelectronic and plasmonic devices, but the nature of this cooling is controversial. We extract the hot electron cooling rate near the Fermi level by using graphene as novel photothermal thermomet…

Versatile BODIPY dyes can be transformed into bright near-IR-emitting fluorophores by quadruple styryl substitutions. When clickable functionalities on the styryl moieties are inserted, an efficient synthesis of a light harvester is possible. In addition, clear spectral evidence is presented showing that, in dendritic…

This paper describes the spontaneous vesicular assembly of a naphthalene-diimide (NDI)-based non-ionic bolaamphiphile in aqueous medium by using the synergistic effects of π-stacking and hydrogen bonding. Site isolation of the hydrogen-bonding functionality (hydrazide), a strategy that has been adopted so elegantly in…

Electron-phonon coupling (EPC) in Bernal stacked bilayer graphene (BLG) at different doping levels is studied by first-principles calculations. The phonons considered are long-wavelength high-energy symmetric and antisymmetric optical modes. Both are shown to have distinct EPC-induced phonon linewidths and frequency s…

Following the recent realization of an artificial version of Graphene in the electronic surface states of copper with judiciously placed carbon monoxide molecules inducing the honeycomb lattice symmetry (K.

We have recently devised organizing principles to obtain maximally dense packings of the Platonic and Archimedean solids and certain smoothly shaped convex nonspherical particles [Torquato and Jiao, Phys. Rev. E 81, 041310 (2010)]. Here we generalize them in order to guide one to ascertain the densest packings of othe…

A thermo-mechanical continuum theory is proposed for dynamically loaded glassy polymers. The theory is based on an ansatz for the Helmholtz free energy where both the deviatoric and the volumetric contributions to the free energy are rate-dependent. The requirement that the free energy is fully rate dependent arises f…

We experimentally show evidence for the presence of spin accumulation in localized states at ferromagnet-silicon interfaces, detected by electrical Hanle effect measurements in CoFe/$n^{+}$-Si/$n$-Si lateral devices. By controlling the measurement temperature, we can clearly observe marked changes in the spin-accumula…

The thickness dependence of the magnetic properties of amorphous Fe90Zr10 layers has been explored using Fe90Zr10/Al75Zr25 multilayers. The Al75Zr25 layer thickness is kept at 40 Å, while the thickness of the Fe90Zr10 layers is varied between 5 and 20 Å. The thickness of the Al75Zr25 layers is sufficiently large to su…
