Commonly used semilocal density functional approximations for the exchange-correlation energy fail badly when the true two dimensional limit is approached. We show, using a quasi-two-dimensional uniform electron gas in the infinite barrier model, that the semilocal level can correctly recover the exchange-correlation…

Voltage-controlled resistive switching is demonstrated in various gap systems on SiO2 substrate. The nanosized gaps are made by different means using different materials including metal, semiconductor, and metallic nonmetal. The switching site is further reduced by using multi-walled carbon nanotubes and single-walled…

Nowadays nanotechnology allows to scale-down various important devices (sensors, chips, fibres, etc), and, thus, opens up new horizon for their applications. Nevertheless, the efficiency most of them is still based on the fundamental physical phenomena, such as resonances. Thus, the understanding of the resonance phen…

Semilocal density functionals for the exchange-correlation energy are needed for large electronic systems. The Tao-Perdew-Staroverov-Scuseria (TPSS) meta-generalized gradient approximation (meta-GGA) is semilocal and usefully accurate, but predicts too-long lattice constants. Recent "GGA's for solids" yield good latti…

In recent work, generalized gradient approximations (GGA's) have been constructed from the energy density of the Airy gas for exchange but not for correlation. We report the random phase approximation (RPA) conventional correlation energy density of the Airy gas, the simplest edge electron gas, in which the auxiliary…

We consider current-induced domain wall motion and, the reciprocal process, moving domain wall-induced current. The associated Onsager coefficients are expressed in terms of scattering matrices. Uncommonly, in (Ga,Mn)As, the effective Gilbert damping coefficient $α_w$ and the effective out-of-plane spin transfer torqu…

The transmembrane protein FeoB plays a key role in ferrous iron acquisition in prokaryotes. The N-terminal domain of FeoB from Methanococcus jannaschii was overproduced, purified to homogeneity and crystallized in the presence of GTP and magnesium. The native protein crystallized in a tetragonal space group and the cr…

This paper provides a general framework for studying the yellowing tendency of ozonated cotton fabric. Yellowing tendency of ozonated cotton fabric and ways to prevent this situation was examined extensively. For this purpose, five different treatments (hot/cold rinsing, washing, reductive washing, catalase treatment)…

A new method to reclaim thermoset polyurethane (PU) foam by thermo-mechanical degradation using a batch Drais mixer was investigated, and the performance of reclaimed PU in blends with polyamide-12 (PA-12) or thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) was studied. The reclamation method used disrupts the crosslinked structure o…

We describe a detailed photon correlation Fourier spectroscopy (PCFS) study of a single CdSe/ZnS nanocrystal at 10 K. PCFS provides the temporal and spectral resolution that is necessary for such a fast spectrally diffusing emitter. In the emitter spectrum, we distinguish a main 6 μeV zero-phonon line, the one- and tw…

In this study, a new approach for genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed and compared with conventional GA (CGA) in the weight optimisation of a 2-MVA salient pole synchronous machine. The main differences between the two algorithms are that, in the newly proposed method, individuals are paired and crossed over based on t…

A theoretical model is proposed for elastic stress relaxation of a buried strained cylindrical inhomogeneity, which assumes the edge misfit dislocation dipole formation in the soft matrix at some distance from the interface. The critical radius of the inhomogeneity for the formation of the edge misfit dislocation dipo…
