We model shell formation of core–shell noble metal nanoparticles. A recently developed kinetic Monte Carlo approach is utilized to reproduce growth morphologies realized in recent experiments on core–shell nanoparticle synthesis, which reported smooth epitaxially grown shells. Specifically, we identify not only growth…
Since conduction electrons of a metal effectively screen the local electric dipole moments, it was widely believed that the ferroelectric- (FE-) like distortion cannot occur in metals. Recently, metallic ${\mathrm{LiOsO}}_{3}$ was discovered to be the first clear-cut example of an Anderson-Blount ``ferroelectric'' met…
The archetypical strongly correlated Mott-phenomena compound ${\mathrm{V}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ is known to show a paramagnetic metal-insulator transition driven by doping with chromium atoms and/or (negative) pressure. Via charge self-consistent density-functional theory+dynamical mean-field theory calculations we de…
Considerable efforts have recently been devoted to the experimental realization of a two-dimensional Chern insulator, i.e., a system displaying a quantum anomalous Hall effect. However, existing approaches such as those based on magnetic doping of topological-insulator thin films have resulted in small band gaps, rest…
We have synthesized and investigated the heterointerfaces of KTaO3 (KTO) and GdScO3 (GSO), which are both polar complex-oxides along the pseudo-cubic [001] direction. Since their layers have the same, conflicting net charges at interfaces, i.e., KO(−1)/ScO2(−1) or TaO2(+1)/GdO(+1), forming the heterointerface of KTO/G…
We calculate the electrostatic potential of a periodic lattice of arbitrary extended charges by using the Cartesian multipole formalism. This method allows the separation of the long-range potential from the contact potential (potential on the source). We write both the electrostatic potential and the interaction ener…
The densification, delamination and crack growth behavior in a Ce$_{0.9}$Gd$_{0.1}$O$_{1.95}$ (CGO) and (La$_{0.85}$Sr$_{0.15})_{0.9}$MnO$_{3}$ (LSM) multi-layer ceramic sample was studied using in situ X-ray tomographic microscopy (microtomography), to investigate the critical dynamics of crack propagation and delami…
In contrast to carbon, which forms long polymeric chains, all-nitrogen chains are very unstable. Here we found that nitrogen and hydrogen directly react at room temperature and pressures of about 35 GPa forming a mixture of nitrogen backbone oligomers - chains of single-bonded nitrogen atom with the rest of the bonds…
We address a novel method for analytical determinations that combines simplicity, rapidity, low consumption of chemicals, and portability with high analytical performance taking into account parameters such as precision, linearity, robustness, and accuracy. This approach relies on the effect of the analyte content ove…
Photo-excited precession of magnetization in (Ga,Mn)As is investigated by measuring time-resolved magneto-optical response and transient differential reflectivity with pump-and-probe technique. In the time region less than 1 ps, rapidly oscillating and spike-like signals are observed, respectively, with excitation of…
The affine and Euclidean normalizers of the subperiodic groups, the Frieze groups, the rod groups, and the layer groups, are derived and listed. For the layer groups, the special metrics used for plane group Euclidean normalizers have been considered.
The design, synthesis and control of plasmonic nanostructures, especially with ultrasmall plasmonically coupled nanogap (∼1 nm or smaller), are of significant interest and importance in chemistry, nanoscience, materials science, optics and nanobiotechnology. Here, we studied and established the thiolated DNA-based syn…
We present a semianalytical formulation of the interaction between a given source field and a scalar Huygens metasurface (HMS), a recently introduced promising concept for wavefront manipulation based on a sheet of orthogonal electric and magnetic dipoles. Utilizing the equivalent surface impedance representation of t…
The high-spin pseudotetrahedral complex [Co(C3S5)2](2-) exhibits slow magnetic relaxation in the absence of an applied dc magnetic field, one of a small number of mononuclear complexes to display this property. Fits to low-temperature magnetization data indicate that this single-molecule magnet possesses a very large…
The synthesis of graphene materials is typically carried out by oxidizing graphite to graphite oxide followed by a reduction process. Numerous methods exist for both the oxidation and reduction steps, which causes unpredictable contamination from metallic impurities into the final material. These impurities are known…
Exciting research on gold–thiolate nanoclusters (AuSR NCs) has recently emerged thanks to the breakthroughs in their chemical synthesis and structural determination. Herein is presented representative work regarding X-ray spectroscopy studies of AuSR NCs, including clusters such as Au 144, Au 38, Au 36, Au 25, Au 24 P…
A three-dimensional nanoporous Ni(OH)2 thin-film was hydrothermally converted from an anodically formed porous layer of nickel fluoride/oxide. The nanoporous Ni(OH)2 thin-films can be used as additive-free electrodes for energy storage. The nanoporous layer delivers a high capacitance of 1765 F g(-1) under three elect…
We show that controlling the introduction time and the amount of sulphur (S) vapour relative to the WO3 precursor during the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) growth of WS2 is critical to achieving large crystal domains on the surface of silicon wafers with a 300 nm oxide layer. We use a two furnace system that enables…
Employing rationally designed model systems with precise atom-by-atom particle size control, we demonstrate by means of combining noninvasive in situ indirect nanoplasmonic sensing and ex situ scanning transmission electron microscopy that monomodal size-selected platinum cluster catalysts on different supports exhibi…
The effect of water soluble carbon nano-dots (wsCND) on the growth of root and shoot of wheat plants under light and dark conditions has been studied. The wsCND enhances the growth of root and shoot both in light and dark conditions. The effect of wsCND on the growth of root was relatively more compared to that of sho…
