The experimental progress in synthesizing low-dimensional nanostructures where carriers are confined to bent surfaces has boosted the interest in the theory of quantum mechanics on curved two-dimensional manifolds. It was recently asserted that constrained electrically charged particles couple to a term linear in A_3…

We discuss problem of Rashba field in bulk GaN and in GaN/AlGaN two-dimensional electron gas, basing on results of X-band microwave resonance experiments. We point at large difference in spin-orbit coupling between bulk material and heterostructures. We observe coupled plasmon-cyclotron resonance from the two-dimensio…

We investigate properties of doping-induced metal-insulator transition in GaN:Si by means of electron spin resonance and Hall effect. While increasing the doping concentration, Si-related bands are formed below the bottom of the GaN conduction band. The D0 band of single-occupied Si donor sites is centered 27 meV belo…

Peaceful coexistence: Brønsted acids and bases were attached to different surfaces of a mesoporous silica nanoparticle. The internal surface was functionalized by using co-condensation, and postsynthesis grafting was used to functionalize the external surface. A two-step reaction sequence that cannot proceed with an a…

Practical applications of graphene require a reliable high-throughput method of graphene identification and quality control, which can be used for large-scale substrates and wafers. We have proposed and experimentally tested a fast and fully automated approach for determining the number of atomic planes in graphene sa…

The Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction (SOI) of a series of two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) hosted in GaAs/AlGaAs and InGaAs/GaAs (001) quantum wells (QWs) is measured by monitoring the precession frequency of the spins as a function of an in-plane electric field. The measured spin-orbit-induced spin-splitting…

Carbon-based materials like nanotubes and graphene are heavily investigated as future CMOS-like devices and in interconnect applications. While much of the interest has been devoted to the device aspects in competition to conventional CMOS transistors, the paper here will focus on some less known applications of carbo…

The modest aim of this short article is to provide some new results for a screw dislocation in a functionally graded material within the theory of gradient elasticity. These results, based on a displacement formulation and the Fourier transform technique, extends earlier findings (Lazar, M., 2007. On a screw dislocati…

BN domains are easy to form in the basal plane of graphene due to phase separation. With first-principles DFT calculations, it is demonstrated theoretically that the band gap of graphene can be opened effectively around K (or K') points by doping the small BN domains. It is also found that the random doping with B or…

The noncovalent self-assembly of chromophores in an organoclay template results in the formation of fluorescent hybrid hydrogels and films. These clay–dye hybrids act as novel supramolecular scaffolds for light-harvesting as the aminoclay (AC) templates the spatial organization of donor and acceptor molecules to promo…

The behavior and toxicity of silver engineered nanoparticles (Ag-ENs) to the mixotrophic freshwater alga Ochromonas danica were examined in the present study to determine whether any other mechanisms are involved in their algal toxicity besides Ag(+) liberation outside the cells. Despite their good dispersability, the…

The temperature dependence of the mobility in suspended graphene samples is investigated. In clean samples, flexural phonons become the leading scattering mechanism at temperature $T\ensuremath{\gtrsim}10\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{K}$, and the resistivity increases quadratically with $T$. Flexural phonons limit the intri…
