I here classify of all the fully gapped massive and the gapless phases in bilayer graphene. The effective low-energy theory in bilayer graphene is constructed, and various discrete and continuous symmetries of the noninteracting system is analyzed. Spinless fermions, placed in a quantizing magnetic field, are consider…

In this paper, radiating dipole antennas have been fabricated from rolled carbon films, which are typically used for supercapacitor electrodes. Return loss and radiation pattern measurements for onion-like carbon (OLC) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) antenna samples are presented and compared to a copper st…

We report results of ab initio calculations on Y-doped anion Si${}_{n}$ clusters with $n$ $=$ 4--20. Our results suggest two growth behaviors in the intermediate range of $n$ $=$ 8 and 20: (1) There is the formation of linked clusters in which a metal atom links two subclusters and (2) where silicon atoms form a cage…

The effects of Ga ion on the single layer graphene (SLG) have been studied by Raman spectroscopy (RS), SEM, and field-effect characterization. Under vacuum conditions, Ga ion-irradiation can induce disorders and cause red shift of 2D band of RS, rather than lattice damage in high quality SLG. The compressive strain in…

The thermal stability of BeZnO was examined in this study. Structural relaxation and reconstruction of the Be0.4Zn0.6O alloy film started at 500 °C and came to a halt at 800 °C. Be atoms were found to be diffused out from the host position, and BeO-based second phase was formed. The bandgap of Be0.4Zn0.6O was reduced…

The use of magnetic nanomaterials in biosensing applications is growing as a consequence of their remarkable properties; but controlling the composition and shape of metallic nanoalloys is problematic when more than one precursor is required for wet chemistry synthesis. We have developed a successful simultaneous redu…

The current fluoroindate glass optical fiber loss is dominated by extrinsic absorption and scattering loss. Attempts were made to reduce fluoroindate glass fiber loss by optimizing glass melting conditions, preform extrusion process and fiber drawing conditions. Our results show that fluorination of the glass batches…

The electrical properties of amorphous GeTe films deposited at room temperature, ion implanted, and melt-quenched have been studied. The activation energy for the mobility gap varies from 0.64, in the melt-quenched, to 0.74 eV, in the as deposited film. In all the types of amorphous, pre-annealing at temperatures belo…

We numerically and experimentally demonstrate engineered electromagnetic responses from a single-peak Fano resonance to a fast roll-off behavior by using planar metamaterials, which are constructed by bilayered asymmetrically split rings (ASRs) with twist angles of 0° and 180°. Since each single-layer ASR metamaterial…

One-dimensional noncentrosymmetric KPSe6 is an excellent mid-infrared (mid-IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) material possessing reversible phase-change behavior. In this special issue we present a broadband NLO study on its crystalline and glassy phases as well as fundamental material characterizations. The compound has a…

We have synthesized water-dispersible cysteinate(2-)-capped CdSe nanocrystals and attached them to TiO2 using one-step linker-assisted assembly. Room-temperature syntheses yielded CdSe magic-sized clusters (MSCs) exhibiting a narrow and intense first excitonic absorption band centered at 422 nm. Syntheses at 80 °C yie…

The effective thermal conductivity models for particulate composites are usually restricted to the dilute limit, with volumetric concentrations of particles typically less than 15%. By considering the particle interactions through a crowding factor, in this work, a new formula is developed to describe the thermal cond…

Peptide oligomerization is necessary but not sufficient for amyloid fibril formation. Here, we use a combination of experiments and simulations to understand how pH influences the aggregation properties of a small hydrophobic peptide, YVIFL, which is a mutant form of [Leu-5]-Enkephalin. Transmission electron microscop…

In this study, the tryptophan derivative of ferrocene-1,1′-dicarboxylic acid self-assembles in toluene to form a supramolecular nanofibrillar network structure. The ferrocene bioconjugate based nanofibers are responsive toward oxidation/reduction and show thermo and redox reversibility. Interestingly, redox-induced re…
