The development of efficient multicomponent tandem polymerization is attractive but challenging, owing to the limitations such as the required strict stoichiometric balance, the poor solubility and low molecular weight of the polymer products, etc. In this work, an efficient one-pot three-component polymerization of a…

The field strength of modifier cations in boron‐containing oxide glasses has important but complex effects on boron coordination, and has long been known to have major effects on glass and liquid properties. With well‐constrained compositional and fictive temperature information in three binary borate glass series, we…

Understanding the contact between solid surfaces is a long-standing problem which has a strong impact on the physics of many processes such as adhesion, friction, lubrication and wear. Experimentally, the investigation of solid/solid interfaces remains challenging today, due to the lack of experimental techniques able…

By means of relativistic density functional theory (DFT) calculations we study electron band structure of the topological insulator (TI) Bi$_2$Se$_3$ thin films deposited on the ferromagnetic insulator (FMI) EuS substrate. In the Bi$_2$Se$_3$/EuS heterostructure, the gap opened in the spectrum of the topological state…

We have developed and implemented a new quantum molecular dynamics approximation that allows fast and accurate simulations of dense plasmas from cold to hot conditions. The method is based on a carefully designed orbital-free implementation of density functional theory (DFT). The results for hydrogen and aluminum are…

Preparation of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanostructures with both high sensitivity as well as high reproducibility has always been difficult and costly for routine SERS detection. Here we demonstrate air-stable metallic glassy nanowire arrays (MGNWAs), which were prepared by a cheap and rapid die nanoim…

We demonstrate the existence of a coherent transport of thermal energy in superlattices by introducing a microscopic definition of the phonon coherence length. A criterion is provided to distinguish the coherent transport regime from diffuse interface scattering and discuss how these can be specifically controlled by…

Yttrium and indium co‐doped barium zirconate is investigated to develop a chemically stable and sintering active proton conductor for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). BaZr 0.8 Y 0.2‐x In x O 3‐ δ possesses a pure cubic perovskite structure. The sintering activity of BaZr 0.8 Y 0.2‐x In x O 3‐ δ increases significantly…

The opening of a gap in single‐layer graphene is often ascribed to the breaking of the equivalence between the two carbon sublattices. It is shown by angle‐resolved photoemission spectroscopy that Ir‐ and Na‐modified graphene grown on the Ir(111) surface presents a very large unconventional gap that can be described i…

Precise tuning of the 2D carrier density by using fractional δ-doping of d electrons improves the thermoelectric properties of oxide heterostructures. This promising result can be attributed to the anisotropic band structure in the 2D system, indicating that δ-doped oxide superlattices are good candidates for advanced…

The effects of host isotope mass on the hyperfine interaction of group-V donors in silicon are revealed by pulsed electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy of isotopically engineered Si single crystals. Each of the hyperfine-split P-31, As-75, Sb-121, Sb-123, and Bi-209 ENDOR lines splits further into mul…

Abstract The strong excitonic emission of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) makes this material one of the most promising candidate for light emitting devices in the far ultraviolet (UV). However, single excitons occur only in perfect monocrystals that are extremely hard to synthesize, while regular h-BN samples present…

The nontrivial topology of the electronic structure of iron pnictides can lead to the appearance of surface states. We study such states in various strip geometries with a focus on the superconducting phase. In the presence of unconventional superconducting pairing with ${s}_{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$-wave gap st…

The maximally localized Wannier functions play a very important role in the study of chemical bonding, ballistic transport and strongly-correlated system, etc. A significant development in this branch was made in 1997 and conjectured that the maximally localized Wannier functions are real. In this paper, we prove the…
