Superhydrophobic surfaces have considerable technological potential for various applications because of their extreme water-repellent properties. Dynamic effects, such as the bouncing and vibration of a droplet, can destroy the composite solid-air-liquid interface. The impact pressure of a bouncing droplet and the ine…

A zinc-aluminum layered double hydroxide (ZnAl-LDH)/alumina bilayer film has been fabricated on an aluminum substrate by a one-step hydrothermal crystallization method. The LDH film was uniform and compact. XRD patterns and SEM images showed that the LDH film was highly oriented with the c-axis of the crystallites par…

To date, little is known about the relative importance of dispersal related versus local factors in shaping microbial metacommunities. A common criticism regarding existing datasets is that the level of taxonomic resolution might be too coarse to reliably assess microbial community structure and study biogeographical…

We report a study of the 3E excited-state structure of single negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defects in diamond, combining resonant excitation at cryogenic temperatures and optically detected magnetic resonance. A theoretical model is developed and shows excellent agreement with experimental observations. In…

Investigations of the magnetic properties of graphenes prepared by different methods reveal that dominant ferromagnetic interactions coexist along with antiferromagnetic interactions in all of the samples, somewhat like in frustrated or phase-separated systems. All of the graphene samples exhibit room-temperature magn…

We present a facile and inexpensive approach to superhydrophobic polymer coatings. The method involves the in-situ polymerization of common monomers in the presence of a porogenic solvent to afford superhydrophobic surfaces with the desired combination of micro- and nano-scale roughness. The method is applicable to a…

In order to elucidate room-temperature (RT) ferromagnetism (FM) in ZnO, we have analyzed a multitude of experimental publications with respect to the ratio of grain-boundary (GB) area to grain volume. FM only appears if this ratio exceeds a certain threshold value ${s}_{\text{th}}$. Based on these important results na…

Application of a magnetic field to conductors causes the charge carriers to circulate in cyclotron orbits with quantized energies called Landau levels (LLs). These are equally spaced in normal metals and two-dimensional electron gases. In graphene, however, the charge carrier velocity is independent of their energy (l…

Bismuth triiodide, a compound with a layered structure, is utilized to confine the growth of nanowires along the substrate surface in a low-temperature solution-phase reaction. The confinement is attributed to the electrostatic force between the bismuth triiodide sheet and the deposited Cd2+ cations that caused the Cd…
