In this work, based on the density functional theory, the interaction of vitamins A, B1, C, B3 and D with (5, 5) armchair and (9, 0) zigzag single-walled boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are studied. It is found that binding of vitamins A, B1, C, B3 and D with (9, 0) and (5, 5) BNNTs is thermodynamically favorable. Cal…

Most ferroelectrics are also ferroelastics (hysteretic stress‐strain relationship and response to mechanical stresses). The interactions between ferroelastic twin walls and ferroelectric domain walls are complex and only partly understood, hindering the technological potential of these materials. Here we study via ato…

Hillert's mean-field elastic prediction of the diffusivity of carbon in ferrite is regularly used to explain the experimental observation of slow diffusion of carbon in supersaturated ferrite. With increasing carbon supersaturation, the appropriateness of assuming that many-body carbon interactions can be ignored need…

The synthesis and magnetic characterisation of four new heterometallic {CrIII2DyIII2} complexes 2–5 are described. The present work follows on from a recently isolated complex [CrIII2DyIII2(OMe)2(O2CPh)4(mdea)2(NO3)2] (1) (mdeaH2 = N-methyldiethanolamine), which displayed impressive single molecule magnet (SMM) proper…

For solution crystallization, nucleation can be characterized by the maximum sub-cooling (or metastable limit), which is known to vary with numerous process parameters. The relationship between the metastable limit and cooling rate is of particular interest, as it can be utilized to derive nucleation kinetic parameter…

The investigation of ferroelectric aging effect in Fe-doped BaTiO3 ceramics reveals that such effect is first strengthened and then suppressed with the increase content of Fe dopant. Such nonmonotonic variation of aging behavior is considered to be originated from the competition effects between increased concentratio…

Ultrafast pump-probe transient reflectance (TR) spectroscopy was used to study carrier dynamics in an epitaxial perovskite oxide thin film of LaFeO3 (LFO) with a thickness of 40 unit cells (16 nm) grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (LaAlO3)0.3(Sr2AlTaO6)0.7 (LSAT). TR spectroscopy shows two negative transients in refl…

The gelation behavior of 1,3:2,4-bis(3,4-dimethylbenzylidene)sorbitol (DMDBS) in binary solvents has been systematically investigated. DMDBS is soluble in DMSO and insoluble in toluene (apolar) or 1-propanol (polar). When DMSO is added to a poor solvent at a certain volume fraction, DMDBS forms an organogel in the mix…

We reinvestigate ${K}^{*}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}(1116)$ photoproduction off the nucleon target, based on an effective Lagrangian approach. We include higher nucleon resonances such as $N(2000)5/{2}^{+}$, $N(2060)5/{2}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, $N(2120)3/{2}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, and $N(2190)7/{2}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, of whi…

In recent years, interest in the random-phase approximation (RPA) has grown rapidly. At the same time, tensor hypercontraction has emerged as an intriguing method to reduce the computational cost of electronic structure algorithms. In this paper, we combine the particle-particle random phase approximation with tensor…

Graphene interfaced with a semiconductor forms a Schottky junction with rectifying properties. The inherent spatial inhomogeneity due to the formation of ripples and ridges in graphene can lead to fluctuations in the Schottky barrier height (SBH). The non-ideal behavior of the temperature dependent barrier height and…
