We report the discovery of superconductivity below 1.65(6) K in Sr-intercalated graphite SrC6, by susceptibility and specific heat (Cp) measurements. In comparison with CaC6, we found that the anisotropy of the upper critical fields for SrC6 is much reduced. The Cp anomaly at Tc is smaller than the BCS prediction indi…

The electronic structure of the quasi-lowdimensional vanadium sulfide \bavs3 is investigated for the different phases above the magnetic ordering temperature. By means of density functional theory and its combination with dynamical-mean field theory, we follow the evolution of the relevant low-energy electronic states…

We investigate the dimerization and fusion of C60 molecules to form various C60 dimers when pushed against each other at several inter-molecular distances. We study the stability of this dimerized C60 molecule based on its binding strength provided by intramolecular interactions. Tersoff potential, which is considered…

Remarkably big increase of the substrate temperature during the low-temperature MBE growth of GaMnAs layers is observed by means of band gap spectroscopy. It is explained and simulated in terms of changes in the absorption/emission characteristics of the growing layer. Options for the temperature variation damping are…

Ferromagnetic Resonance Force Microscopy (FMRFM) offers a means of performing local ferromagnetic resonance. We have studied the evolution of the FMRFM force spectra in a continuous 50 nm thick permalloy film as a function of probe-film distance and performed numerical simulations of the intensity of the FMRFM probe-f…

Room temperature ferromagnetism is observed in undoped TiO2 films deposited on Si substrates using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The ferromagnetic properties of the samples depend on the oxygen partial pressure during the PLD synthesis. The appearance of higher binding energy component (HBEC) in the oxygen 1s core pe…

Topological changes of the Fermi surface under pressure may cause anomalies in the low-temperature elastic properties. Our density functional calculations for elemental Osmium evidence that this metal undergoes three such Lifshitz transitions in the pressure range between 70 GPa and 130 GPa. The related elastic anomal…

Nanoimprint lithography and physical vapor deposition were combined to fabricate large-area homogeneously patterned SERS-active substrates with tunable surface plasmon resonances. The plasmon shift observed was connected to the surface nanotopography since (a) the SERS-active nanoparticles on all the substrates invest…

A reduction of polarization in ultra-thin ferroelectric films appears to be fundamental to ferroelectricity at the nanoscale. For the model system PbTiO3 on SrTiO3, we report observation of the polarization vs. thickness relation. Distinct periodicity changes of ferroelectric domains obtained from x-ray diffraction an…

We study the behaviour of the C60 molecule under very high internal or external pressure using Tersoff as well as Brenner potentials. As a result, we estimate the critical internal and external pressures that lead to its instability. We also calculate stretching force constant and bulk modulus of this molecule at seve…

Fully quantitative analyses of DRIFTS data are required when the surface concentrations and the specific rate constants of reaction (or desorption) of adsorbates are needed to validate microkinetic models. The relationship between the surface coverage of adsorbates and various functions derived from the signal collect…

Sol-gel chemistry represents a powerful method for assembling metal chalcogenide quantum dots into 3D connected architectures without the presence of intervening ligands to moderate particle-particle interactions. Wet gels prepared by the oxidative loss of thiolate surface groups from chalcogenide nanoparticles can be…

We describe the synthesis and the solution properties of sheet- and disclike Janus particles, containing an inner crosslinked polybutadiene (PB) layer and two different outer sides of polystyrene (PS) and poly(tert-butyl methacrylate) (PtBMA). The structures formed upon adsorption of the flat Janus particles onto soli…
