Correlations between magnetic transition temperatures and the average weighted valence band electron concentration ((s + d) electrons/atom) have led to the development of a phenomenological model that predicts the influence of elemental substitution on the magnetostructural response of bulk B2-ordered Fe(Rh1−xMx) or (…
When surfactant templates and hard templates are combined to synthesize silica and other inorganic solids with hierarchical pore structure, the mesopore development and orientation are influenced by interactions between the surfactant templates and the hard templates. Effects such as confinement, surface interactions,…
Collagen is an essential component of tissues, which is the most abundant component in extracellular matrix and highly conserved across the animal kingdom. It can assemble into fiber and play an essential role in cell adhesion and growth and could be extremely useful in tissue engineering. In this study, the effect of…
Recently a new class of optical interference coatings was introduced which comprises ultra-thin, highly absorbing dielectric layers on metal substrates. We show that these lossy coatings can be augmented by an additional transparent subwavelength layer. We fabricated a sample comprising a gold substrate, an ultra-thin…
As you like it: [Ag(η2-As4)2]+[pftb]− can be used to store yellow arsenic (As4). From it, As4 can be easily released to give concentrated, light-stable solutions. These As4 solutions, and those of white phosphorus (P4), allowed molecular As4 and P4 to be encapsulated inside giant, spherical aggregates and polymeric ma…
We formulate an atomistic-to-continuum coupling method based on blending atomistic and continuum forces. Our precise choice of blending mechanism is informed by theoretical predictions. We present a range of numerical experiments studying the accuracy of the scheme, focusing in particular on its stability. These exper…
Zinc antimony stands out among thermoelectrics because of its very low lattice thermal conductivity, close to the amorphous limit. Understanding the physical reason behind such an unusual crystal property is of fundamental interest for the design of new thermoelectric materials. In this work, we report the results of…
Microscopic mechanism for the Rashba-type band splitting is examined in detail. We show how asymmetric charge distribution is formed when local orbital angular momentum (OAM) and crystal momentum get interlocked due to surface effects. An electrostatic energy term in the Hamiltonian appears when such OAM and crystal m…
In this study, the temperature dependence of the spin Hall angle of palladium (Pd) was experimentally investigated by spin pumping. A Ni80Fe20/Pd bilayer thin film was prepared, and a pure spin current was dynamically injected into the Pd layer. This caused the conversion of the spin current to a charge current owing…
We present experimental evidence for hexagonal domain faceting in the ferroelectric polymer PVDF-TrFE films having the lower orthorhombic crystallographic symmetry. This effect can arise from purely electrostatic depolarizing forces. We show that in contrast to magnetic bubble shape domains where such type of deformat…
We report the operation of LaAlO3/SrTiO3 depletion mode top-gated junction field-effect transistors using a range of LaAlO3 thicknesses as the top gate insulator. Gated Hall bars show near ideal transistor characteristics at room temperature with on-off ratios greater than 1000. Lower temperature measurements demonstr…
The long spin diffusion length makes graphene very attractive for novel spintronic devices, and thus has triggered a quest for integrating the charge and spin degrees of freedom. However, ideal graphene is intrinsic non-magnetic, due to a delocalized π bonding network. Therefore, synthesis of ferromagnetic graphene or…
The therapeutic performance of biodegradable micellar drugs is far from optimal due to existing challenges like poor tumor cell uptake and intracellular drug release. Here, we report on ligand-directed reduction-sensitive shell-sheddable biodegradable micelles based on poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEG-P…
Nanomaterials with tunable magnetic states play a significant role in the development of next-generation spintronic devices. In this paper, we examine the role of biaxial strain on the electronic properties of vacancy-decorated hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) monolayers using density functional theory calculations. We…
We introduce a method for measuring the full stress tensor in a crystal utilising the properties of individual point defects. By measuring the perturbation to the electronic states of three point defects with C3v symmetry in a cubic crystal, sufficient information is obtained to construct all six independent component…
The demagnetization factors for randomly packed spherical particle powders with different porosities, sample aspect ratios, and monodisperse, normal, and log-normal particle size distributions have been calculated using a numerical model. For a relative permeability of 2, comparable to room temperature Gd, the calcula…
It has been recognized in the literature that some physical properties of hydrated biomolecules, e.g., the occurrence of Boson peak, resembles of those of glassy state. In the present work is shown that quantum fluctuations play a fundamental role on describing the glassy state of biomolecules, specially at lower hydr…
Desalination that produces clean freshwater from seawater holds the promise to solve the global water shortage for drinking, agriculture and industry. However, conventional desalination technologies such as reverse osmosis and thermal distillation involve large amounts of energy consumption, and the semipermeable memb…
Naturally occurring spin-valve-type magnetoresistance (SVMR), recently observed in Sr2FeMoO6 samples, suggests the possibility of decoupling the maximal resistance from the coercivity of the sample. Here we present the evidence that SVMR can be engineered in specifically designed and fabricated core-shell nanoparticle…
We created dense ensembles of negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV-) centers in diamond by neutron and electron irradiation for applications in hybrid quantum systems and magnetometry. We characterize fluorescence intensity, optical and coherence properties of the resulting defects by confocal microscopy, UV/Vis an…
