We present the first investigation on the effect of highly charged ion bombardment on a manganese arsenide thin film. The MnAs films, 150 nm thick, are irradiated with 90 keV Ne$^{9+}$ ions with a dose varying from $1.6\times10^{12}$ to $1.6\times10^{15}$ ions/cm$^2$. The structural and magnetic properties of the film…
We present a combined x-ray and neutron reflectivity study characterizing the interface between polystyrene (PS) and silanized surfaces. Motivated by the large difference in slip velocity of PS on top of dodecyl-trichlorosilane (DTS) and octadecyl-trichlorosilane (OTS) found in previous studies, these two systems were…
We report the first experimental observation of the spin Seebeck effect in magnetite thin films. The signal observed at temperatures above the Verwey transition is a contribution from both the anomalous Nernst (ANE) and spin Seebeck effects (SSE). The contribution from the ANE of the Fe3O4 layer to the SSE is found to…
All-spin logic devices are promising candidates to augment and complement beyond-CMOS integrated circuit computing due to non-volatility, ultra-low operating voltages, higher logical efficiency, and high density integration. However, the path to reach lower energy-delay product performance compared to CMOS transistors…
The topological insulator is a fundamentally new phase of matter, with the striking property that the conduction of electrons occurs only on its surface, not within the bulk, and that conduction is topologically protected. Topological protection, the total lack of scattering of electron waves by disorder, is perhaps t…
We demonstrated that the chiral soliton lattice formed out of a chiral helimagnet exhibits coherent sliding motion by applying a time-dependent magnetic field parallel to the helical axis, in addition to a static field perpendicular to the helical axis. To describe the coherent sliding, we use the collective coordinat…
The present work contributes to the coating design of active anticorrosive coatings for the aluminum alloy, AA2024-T3. Part II is a continuation of Part I: Influence of Nanocontainer Concentration and describes further surprising aspects of the design of nanocontainer based active anticorrosive coatings, which influen…
A novel approach for preparation of ultra-bright fluorescent nanodiamonds (fNDs) was developed and the thermal and kinetic optimum of NV center formation was identified. Combined with a new oxidation method, this approach enabled preparation of particles that were roughly one order of magnitude brighter than particles…
Temperature dependent emission spectra and decay times of trivalent dysprosium (Dy3) activated Y4Al2O9 (YAM) crystals have been studied for the first time (to our knowledge). The ratio of emission lines intensity can be used in temperature measurements, as it is not dependent on the variability of absolute intensity.…
Graphene is at the centre of an ever growing research effort due to its unique properties, interesting for both fundamental science and applications. A key requirement for applications is the development of industrial-scale, reliable, inexpensive production processes. Here we review the state of the art of graphene pr…
A device model of biological molecule sensors based on semiconductor nanowires has been developed. This model of a bioFET is based on the concept of the electrolytic absolute electrode potential. From that starting point a semiconductor device model of the nanowire solution biomolecule system was derived. The model in…
This article is withdrawn since it is published in a journal We report on the first reduction methodology, compatible with flexible, temperature sensitive substrates, for the production of reduced spin coated graphene oxide (GO) electrodes. It is based on the use of a laser beam for the in-situ, non-thermal, reduction…
We present a simple and effective instrument for simultaneous real-time imaging and hysteresis of the anisotropic magnetic domain dynamics in thin films using the Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect (MOKE). We furthermore illustrate that magnetic imaging allows a more accurate interpretation of the magnetization reversal proc…
The overall large ionic character of MgH2 is reduced by inserting light elements from the first period, B and C, using a trirutile host superstructure. Both elements are found destabilizing to the structure with largely positive cohesive energy with interstitial B and slightly negative cohesive energy with interstitia…
We report the implementation of field effect transistors based on exfoliated nano-membranes of a layered two-dimensional semiconductor SnS(2), which exhibit an on/off ratio exceeding 2 × 10(6) and a carrier mobility of ∼1 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1). The results demonstrate the great potential of SnS(2), a layered semiconductor…
Controlled drug loading and release into tumor cells to increase the intracellular drug concentration is a major challenge for cancer therapy due to resistance and inefficient cellular uptake. Here, a temperature and pH dual responsive PNiPAM/AA@SiO2 core–shell particles with internal controlled release were designed…
Biomass is an abundant source of chemically diverse macromolecules, including polysaccharides, polypeptides, and polyaromatics. Many of these biological polymers (biopolymers) are highly evolved for specific functions through optimized chain length, functionalization, and monomer sequence. As biopolymers are a chemica…
Abstract From the development of new methods for the synthesis and patterning of nanometre‐scale thin films and particles, to the first investigations of charge transport and photonic properties, there has been a proliferation of research concerning spin crossover nanomaterials in recent years. Studies have aimed at a…
This study investigated the possible natural formation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in Ag(+)-fulvic acid (FA) solutions under various environmentally relevant conditions (temperature, pH, and UV light). Increase in temperature (24-90 °C) and pH (6.1-9.0) of Ag(+)-Suwannee River fulvic acid (SRFA) solutions accelera…
We assess the performance of the Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE) screened hybrid density functional scheme applied to the perovskite family La$M$O${}_{3}$ ($M$ = Sc--Cu) and discuss the role of the mixing parameter $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ [which determines the fraction of exact Hartree-Fock exchange included in the densit…
