The emissive properties of proton implanted fused silica surfaces have been studied by laser beam annealing. When submitted to a high thermal step from a focused CO2 laser, an intense near infra-red thermoluminescence peak rises at a heating rate threshold. The in plane tensile stress relaxes and silica melts. We show…

An OFF-ON-OFF-type three-stage binary switching was realized with an azoaniline-based polybase 1. The optical properties of 1 and [1·2H](2+) are essentially indistinguishable to the naked eye but distinctively different from those of [1·H](+) to produce an unusual bell-shaped response as a function of protonation stat…

Based on the first-principles total-energy calculations, we demonstrate the possibility of controlling the band-gap and carrier type of bilayer graphene using ionic molecules. Our calculations suggest that bilayer graphene sandwiched by a pair of cation-anion molecules is a semiconductor with a moderate energy gap of…

We report evolution of the two-dimensional electron gas behavior at the NdAlO3/SrTiO3 heterointerfaces with varying thicknesses of the NdAlO3 overlayer. The samples with a thicker NdAlO3 show strong localizations at low temperatures and the degree of localization is found to increase with the NdAlO3 thickness. The T−1…

The formation of Cu dimers on the ZnO(10$\overline{1}$0) surface has been studied using hybrid density functional theory. Depending on the adsorption site, Cu atoms are found to adsorb with either oxidation state 0 or $+$1. In the latter case, the Cu atom has donated an electron to the ZnO conduction band. The two mod…
