The lattice dynamics of the metallic tin β and γ polymorphs has been studied by a combination of diffuse scattering, inelastic x-ray scattering and density functional perturbation theory. The non-symmorphic space group of the β-tin structure results in unusual asymmetry of thermal diffuse scattering. Strong resemblanc…
We examine the PT-symmetry-breaking transition for a magnetic metamaterial of a finite extent, modeled as an array of coupled split-ring resonators in the equivalent circuit model approximation. Small-size arrays are solved completely in closed form, while for arrays larger than N=5 results were computed numerically f…
Irradiation of natural pink and brown diamond by middle-ultraviolet light (photon energy ϵ ≥ 4.1 eV ) is seen to induce anomalous fluorescence phenomena at N3 defect centres (structure N3-V). When diamonds primed in this fashion are subsequently exposed to infrared light (even with a delay of many hours), a transient…

We show that the recently-introduced formalism by Neuhauser et al. for the calculation of the quasi-particle energies of electronic systems within the framework of the GW approximation of the self-energy operator, named the `stochastic GW approach' and empirically shown to have a linear-scaling arithmetic complexity f…
In the last several decades, ferroelectrics have attracted much attention as perspective materials for nonlinear optics and data storage devices. Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) has emerged as a powerful tool both for studies of domain structures with nanoscale spatial resolution and for writing the isolated nanodomai…
The Gd3Ga5-xAlxO12 (0 ≤ x ≤ 5) solid solution has been prepared using ceramic synthesis routes and the structural and magnetic properties were investigated using x-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, χ, and isothermal magnetisation, M(H), measurements. Our results indicate a contraction of the unit cell and more…
We present a new Bayesian methodology to learn the unknown material density of a given sample by inverting its two-dimensional images that are taken with a Scanning Electron Microscope. An image results from a sequence of projections of the convolution of the density function with the unknown microscopy correction fun…
Ferromagnetism in graphene is fascinating, but it is still a big challenge for practical applications due to the weak magnetization. In order to enhance the magnetization, here, we design plasma-enabled graphene nanopetals with ultra-long defective edges of up to 105 m/g, ultra-dense lattice vacancies, and hydrogen ch…
We consider a two-dimensional atomic mass spring system and show that in the small displacement regime the corresponding discrete energies can be related to a continuum Griffith energy functional in the sense of Gamma-convergence. We also analyze the continuum problem for a rectangular bar under tensile boundary condi…
We report nearly single phase Pb(Zr0.14Ti0.56Ni0.30)O3-delta(PZTNi30) ferroelectric having large remanent polarization (15-30 μC/cm2), 0.3-0.4 V open circuit voltage (VOC), reduced band gap (direct 3.4 eV, and indirect 2.9 eV), large ON and OFF photo current ratio, and the fast decay time. Reasonably good photo curren…
We synthesize the colloidal carbon/graphene quantum dots 1–9 nm in diameter and study their photoluminescence properties. Surprisingly, the luminescence properties of a fixed collection of colloidal carbon quantum dots can be systematically changed as the concentration varies. A model based on photon reabsorption is p…
Abstract Hollow nanostructures are of great interest for a wide variety of applications. Despite the great advances, synthesis of anisotropic hollow structures is still very challenging. In this work, we have developed a simple sacrificial template method to synthesize uniform NixCo3−xS4 hollow nanoprisms with tunable…
Optical emission spectrum of a resonantly (λ = 632.8 nm) excited molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is studied at liquid helium temperature. More than 20 peaks in the energy range spanning up to 1400 cm−1 from the laser line, which are related to multiphonon resonant Raman scattering processes, are observed. The attribution…

A novel, simple, and efficient method for the preparation of the fluorinated hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (F-BNNSs) and the corresponding magnetic properties is presented. A one-step route is used to exfoliate and fluorinate the BNNSs by ammonium fluoride (NH4F) from hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) powder. Throug…
Single charge nanoscale detection in ambient conditions is a current frontier in metrology that has diverse interdisciplinary applications. Here, such single charge detection is demonstrated using two nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. One NV center is employed as a sensitive electrometer to detect the change i…
The effect of mis-match strain on the structural, electronic, and optical properties in SnO 2 epitaxial thin films has been systematically investigated by the experimental and theoretical methods. Our results indicate that the tensile strain exists in the thin film and decreases with the thickness of epitaxial samples…
We report the observation of stable optical transitions in nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers created by ion implantation. Using a combination of high temperature annealing and subsequent surface treatment, we reproducibly create NV centers with zero-phonon lines (ZPL) exhibiting spectral diffusion that is close to the lif…
Chiral plasmonic films have been prepared by incorporating gold nanorods (NRs) in a macroscopic cholesteric film formed by self-assembled cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). Composite NR-CNC films revealed strong plasmonic chiroptical activity, dependent on the photonic properties of the CNC host and plasmonic properties o…
