We prepared three types of non-Cu RHQ-Nb3Al wire samples with different matrix structures: an all-Ta matrix,a composite matrix of Nb and Ta with a Ta inter filament, and an all-Nb matrix. Neutron diffraction patterns of the wire samples were measured at room temperature in J-PARC "TAKUMI". To obtain residual strains o…

A double-stranded system, modeled by a Frenkel-Kontorova lattice, is studied through nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. We have investigated the thermal conductance influenced by the intra-chain interaction as well as by the inter-chain interaction. It is found that the intra-chain interaction always enhan…

We present a study of the thermodynamic and physical properties of Ta5Si3 compounds by means of density functional theory based calculations. Among the three different structures (D8m, D8l, D88), the D8l structure (Cr5B3-prototype) is the low temperature phase with a high formation enthalpy of -449.20kJ/mol, the D8m s…

Here we reported on the synthesis and characterization of Co3O4 gillyflower-like nanostructures (termed as CGN) with peroxidase-like activity via an L-arginine-assisted hydrothermal synthesis approach. The CGN were characterized by a wide range of physicochemical characterization techniques. The temperature-dependence…

Abstract UHMWPE/MWCNT and UHMWPE/GNS composites with a segregated network are prepared. TEM and SEM images indicate that the conducting fillers are distributed on the UHMWPE surface and form a segregated conducting network. The percolation threshold of UHMWPE/GNS composites is ≈0.25 wt% and that of UHMWPE/MWCNT compos…

First-principles calculations of substitutional defects and vacancies are performed for zigzag-edged hybrid C/BN nanosheets and nanotubes which recently have been proposed to exhibit half-metallic properties. The formation energies show that defects form preferentially at the interfaces between graphene and BN domains…

General purpose graphical processing units (GPU's) offer high processing speeds for certain classes of highly parallelizable computations, such as matrix operations and Fourier transforms, that lie at the heart of first-principles electronic structure calculations. Inclusion of exact-exchange increases the cost of den…

Linear scaling methods, or O(N) methods, have computational and memory requirements which scale linearly with the number of atoms in the system, N, in contrast to standard approaches which scale with the cube of the number of atoms. These methods, which rely on the short-ranged nature of electronic structure, will all…

We study three-electron energy spectra in Si/SiGe single and vertically coupled double quantum dots where all the relevant effects, such as, the Zeeman splitting, spin-orbit coupling, valley coupling and electron-electron Coulomb interaction are explicitly included. In the absence of magnetic field, our results in sin…

The electronic structure of nickel nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon was characterized by photoelectron, X-ray absorption, and X-ray emission spectroscopies. Experimental spectra were compared with the density of states calculated in the frame of density functional theory. The carbon shell of Ni nanoparticles has b…

Data collapse enables comparison of measurement data measured in different laboratories on different samples. In the case of energy losses in Soft Magnetic Materials (SMM) the data collapse is possible to achieved only if the measurement data can be described by the two components formula. For more complicated cases w…

Practical biomedical application of mesoporous silica nanoparticles is limited by poor particle dispersity and stability due to serious irreversible aggregation in biological media. To solve this problem, hydrothermally treated mesoporous silica nanoparticles of small size with dual-organosilane (hydrophilic and hydro…
