Recently, it was reported that the skutterudite-related ${\mathrm{Ce}}_{3}{\mathrm{Rh}}_{4}{\mathrm{Sn}}_{13}$ heavy fermion compound has a large electronic specific heat coefficient $C(T)/T$ and short-range magnetic correlations, both suggest a possible quantum critical point (QCP). We present the low-temperature spe…

A self-assembled quantum dots array (QDA) is a low dimensional electron system applied to various quantum devices. This QDA, if embedded in a single crystal matrix, could be advantageous for quantum information science and technology. However, the quantum tunneling effect has been difficult to observe around room temp…

This Letter describes a double-sided process to fabricate freestanding membrane devices on a GaN-on-silicon platform. The photoluminescence measurement is taken to characterize the optical performance. A large portion of the excited light from InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells is trapped as waveguide modes and propagat…

We have fabricated Transition Edge Sensors (TESs) whose thermal characteristics are completely characterised by few-mode ballistic phonon exchange with the heat bath. These TESs have exceptionally small amorphous SiNx support legs: 0.2 μm thick, 0.7–1.0 μm wide, and 1.0 to 4.0 μm long. We show, using classical elastic…

In the paper, an environmentally friendly and template-free route based on a simple hydrothermal process has been developed for preparing rattle-type TiO2 hollow microspheres by using titanium(IV) sulfate (Ti(SO4)2) as the titanium source and glycerol/water as the cosolvent. The SEM and TEM images showed that the obta…

We demonstrate a new kind of silicon (Si)-based anode architecture consisting of Si nanoparticles and carbon nanocoils (CNCs). In such a hybrid structure, the conductive three-dimensional interpenetrating network of the CNCs can enhance the structural integrity of the electrode. Also, the CNCs afford a conductive netw…

We have developed atomic layer deposition (ALD) methods to synthesize robust nanostructured composite coatings with tunable resistance comprised of conducting, metallic nanoparticles embedded in an amorphous dielectric matrix. These films are nominally composed of M:Al2O3 where M= W or Mo, and are prepared using alter…

The present manuscript reports the characterization, optimization of rheological properties, and loading and release capabilities of 5'-GMP mediated β-FeOOH hydrogel. Circular dichroism (CD) analysis indicates it to contain mainly the left-handed helix similar to that of Z-DNA. The highest viscosity (>300 cP) correspo…

To decrease the coke yield while increase the conversion of FCC feedstock is of great significance as the crude oil becoming heavier and poorer in quality. In this work, the modified mesoporous alumina with rich Brönsted acidic sites (BAS) and reduced Lewis acidic sites (LAS) have been prepared by a sol-gel method. Th…

Interaction between the lattice and the orbital degrees of freedom not only makes rare-earth nickelates unusually ``bad metal,'' but also introduces a temperature-driven insulator-metal phase transition. Here we investigate this insulator-metal phase transition in thin films of ${\mathrm{SmNiO}}_{3}$ using the slow ti…
