We performed comparative DFT (B3LYP/Lanl2dz) studies of the structural and electronic properties of bare and NH 3 -, SCH 3 -, and OPH 3 -capped Cd 33 Se 33 and Cd 33 Te 33 quantum dots (QDs). The capping groups were chosen as simple models for capping ligands used broadly in experiments. We explored the effects of the…

Sodium niobate (NaNbO3, or NNO) is known to be antiferroelectric at temperatures between 45 and 753 K. Here we show experimentally the presence of the ferroelectric phase at temperatures between 100 and 830 K in the NNO crystals obtained by top-seeded solution growth. The ferroelectric phase and new phase transitions…
