We have prepared a high quality single crystal of GdCo2B2 and studied complicated magnetism by measuring the magnetization, AC susceptibility and heat capacity. The results can be conceived in terms of low-temperature antiferromagnetism (below TN = 22 K) undergoing three order to order magnetic phase transitions at T1…

In this work, we consider epitaxial growth of thin crystalline films. Thereby, we propose a new diffuse-interface approximation of a semi-continuous model resolving atomic distances in the growth direction but being coarse-grained in the lateral directions. Mathematically, this leads to a free boundary problem propose…

Generating and controlling chiral symmetry breaking and enantiomeric excess is not only interesting from a fundamental perspective but can also lead to novel functional materials. In this work, we show how the dark conglomerate (DC) liquid crystalline phase characterized by macroscopic chiral domains offers such a pos…

Hydrogenation and electric field are used to tailor the electronic structures of hybrid graphene/hexagonal boron nitride (Gr/BN) and bilayer graphene (Gr/Gr). Without hydrogen adsorption, the electronic structure of Gr/BN is only slightly affected by the electric field, but energy gaps are induced in Gr/Gr because of…

SUMMARY Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is widely used as an insulating material in various electrical products. It is reported that an exothermic reaction reaching temperatures above 150 °C can be caused by overload currents or inferior electrical wire connections before the ignition of electrical products. The exothermic p…

We describe a process for the growth of a single, electronically decoupled graphene layer on SiC(0001). The method involves annealing in disilane to (1) prepare flat, clean substrates, (2) grow a single graphene layer, and (3) electronically decouple the graphene from the substrate. This approach uses a single process…

ABSTRACT Recently, we have suggested a nanomechanical model for dissipative loss in filled elastomer networks in the context of the Payne effect. The mechanism is based on a total interfiller particle force exhibiting an intermittent loop, due to the combination of short‐range repulsion and dispersion forces with a lo…

The paper evaluates noncorrosive and inexpensive materials, namely polypropylene sheet, fiberglass, and glass wool, as potential separator materials for electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) application. Using these materials as separators and the same activated carbon electrodes, properties of two-electrode capacito…

The grating of self-assembled Si nanoribbons at the Ag(110) surface has been studied by Raman spectroscopy. The study, conducted in situ with uncapped samples, resulted in phonon frequencies in disagreement with the results of theoretical calculations reported in literature for freestanding silicene sheets and nanorib…

Iron chalcogenides are of great interest because they have the simplest structure in the Fe based superconductor family, and show low anisotropies, high upper critical fields and high critical current densities. These compounds can, therefore, be considered as reference materials to study the behaviour of all layered…

ABSTRACT The high interfacial tension between two immiscible phases in a polymer blend often prevents a homogenous stress distribution. Therefore, blends of Nylon 6 (Ny6) and polypropylene (PP) were compatibilized using two commercially available types of PP grafted with maleic anhydride (MAPP) with a low (∼2 %) and a…
