We have discovered the appearance of ferroelectricity below the Neel temperature of 6.7K in the antiferromagnetic Ba2CoGe2O7 with square magnetic lattice. The ferroelectric polarization is rather small in magnitude and aligned along the c axis, but its magnitude increases remarkably and its direction rotates away smoo…

Nanocrystalline Pr0.65(Ca0.7Sr0.3)MnO3 show large magnetocaloric effect at their charge order transition temperature (TCO) as well as at the temperature at which the spontaneous destabilization of charge ordered state occurs (TM). In comparison to their polycrystalline bulk form, TM’s are substantially enhanced in the…

Hierarchical self-assembly of block copolymers has been achieved by two steps of sequential ordering processes, consisting of self-organized micropatterning from a dewetting block polymer solution and thermal annealing. The self-organized micropattern induces the spontaneous alignment of self-assembled lamellae (see f…

Abstract The three water‐free calcium carbonate polymorphs calcite, aragonite and vaterite were prepared from aqueous solutions without additives using standard laboratory equipment in a continuous process. Variation parameters were the way of mixing, the solution concentrations, and the reactor residence time. The sa…

Using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, we study the thermal diode effect in a system composed of inorganic crystal and amorphous polymer by imposing a series of positive and negative heat currents. We estimate that in the limit of large heat currents, the silicon-amorphous polyethylene interfacial therma…

We studied the mechanism of the photoluminescence (PL) enhancement and quenching of single CdSe∕ZnS nanocrystals on rough Au surfaces. Single nanocrystal spectroscopy revealed that the PL enhancement depends strongly on the excitation wavelength and liner-polarization angle due to the localized plasmon excitation and…

The electrical conduction behavior of carbon nanowalls (CNWs) has been evaluated by Hall measurement. CNWs, which comprise stacks of graphene sheets standing on the substrate, are fabricated by fluorocarbon/hydrogen plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. We have investigated the effect of N2 addition to C2F6∕H2 sy…

We experimentally studied the gate voltage dependence of spin transport in multilayer graphene (MLG) using the nonlocal spin detection technique. We found that the spin signal is a monotonically decreasing linear function of the resistance of MLG, which is characteristic of the intermediate interfacial transparency be…

A systematic description of multipole degrees of freedom is discussed on the basis of the Stevens' operator-equivalent technique. The generalized Stevens' multiplicative factors are derived for all of the electric and the magnetic multipoles relevant to f-electron systems. With extensive use of the Stevens' factors, w…

We present results of transmission measurements on CdTe quantum wells with thin semimagnetic CdMnTe probe layers embedded in various positions along the growth axis. The presence of the probes allow us to map the probability density functions by two independent methods: analyzing the exciton energy position and the ex…

Using density functional theory calculations we show that the recently-synthesized, superhard diamond-like BC$_5$ is superconducting with a critical temperature of the same order than that of MgB$_2$. The average electron-phonon coupling is $λ=0.89$, the phonon-frequency logarithmic-average is $<ω>_{\log}=67.4 $ meV a…

We present the first high pressure Raman study on nanocrystalline ZnO films with different average crystallite sizes. The problem of low Raman signals from nano sized particles was overcome by forming a nanocomposite of Ag and ZnO nanoparticles. The presence of the nanodispersed Ag particles leads to a substantial sur…

We propose and study a continuum model for the dynamics of amorphizable surfaces undergoing ion-beam sputtering (IBS) at intermediate energies and oblique incidence. After considering the current limitations of more standard descriptions in which a single evolution equation is posed for the surface height, we overcome…

Versatile features of impurity doping effects on perovskite manganites, $R_{0.6}$Sr$_{0.4}$MnO$_{3}$, have been investigated with varying the doing species as well as the $R$-dependent one-electron bandwidth. In ferromagnetic-metallic manganites ($R$=La, Nd, and Sm), a few percent of Fe substitution dramatically decre…

The thermal spin-wave distribution in a Ni81Fe19 stripe with an asymmetric transverse domain wall has been investigated using Brillouin light scattering microscopy. Clear evidence has been found that the existence of the domain wall influences the spin-wave distribution of the thermal modes. The thermal spin-wave mode…
