Self-assembly of porphyrin molecules can be controlled kinetically to form structures with lengths extending from the nano- to the micrometer scale, through a programmed solvent-diffusion process in designed microflow spaces. Temporal solvent structures generated in the microflow were successfully transcribed into mol…

An important component in hybrid atomistic-continuum (HAC) modeling of liquids is the proper termination of the atomistic subdomain (ΩA). When the HAC model is based on the Schwarz domain decomposition method, the total number of particles in ΩA is conserved using specular boundaries in an overlap region, where inform…

Abstract A silica–alumina (SiO2–Al2O3) surface possessing both In3+ cations and an amine base has been prepared. Surface‐functionalized SiO2–Al2O3 was characterized by solid‐state 29Si MAS, 13C CP/MAS, and 27Al 2D MQ/MAS NMR spectroscopy; X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy; and elemental analysis. The bifunctional surfa…

The growth of SiOx nanowires (NWs) with intense white emission is reported. Due to carbon monoxide gas being used as a dopant precursor, carbon-doped under-stoichiometric silicon dioxide NWs are obtained. The doping of the NWs is studied by means of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which allows to assess the presence…

In this work, we report the successful development of a cement-rubber reactive composite with reversible mechanical properties. Initially, the composite behaves like rubber containing inert filler, but when exposed to water, it increases in volume and reaches a stiffness that is intermediate between that of hydrogenat…

We report an unusual robust ferromagnetic order above room temperature upon amorphization of perovskite [YCrO3] in pulsed laser deposited thin films. This is contrary to the usual expected formation of a spin glass magnetic state in the resulting disordered structure. To understand the underlying physics of this pheno…

Nature's functional surfaces are typically hierarchical multiscale structures. There are several techniques for producing such artificial structures on polymers but their mass production is not straightforward. We present here a simple and versatile method for manufacturing hierarchical multiscale polymer surface patt…

We have studied a range of pseudo-ternaries derived from the parent compound PrMn2Ge2, substituting for each constituent element with a smaller one to contract the lattice. This enables us to observe the magneto-elastic transitions that occur as the Mn-Mn nearest neighbour distance is reduced and to assess the role of…

Successful commissioning in the 1954 of the World’s First nuclear power plant constructed at the Institute for Physics and Power Engineering (IPPE) in Obninsk signaled a turn from military programs to peaceful utilization of atomic energy. Up to the decommissioning of this plant, the AM reactor served as one of the ma…

We propose a scheme to determine the energy-band dispersion of quasicrystals that does not require any periodic approximation and directly provides the correct structure of the extended Brillouin zones. From the gap labelling viewpoint, this allows us to transpose the measurement of the integrated density of states wi…
