We investigate analytically the occurrence of magnonic defect states in the exchange regime for the system geometry with the defect linking two semi-infinite superlattices at the same symmetry points. The frequency ranges forbidden and allowed to defect states are determined in the low-frequency region. Non-overlappin…

Strong infrared photoluminescence (PL) was observed for the first time from black Si (b-Si) formed by femtosecond laser irradiation and treated by rapid thermal annealing. The PL peak energy changes from 0.78 to 0.84 eV (1.59 to 1.48 μm) when increasing the annealing temperature from 500°C to 1200°C, showing a tunable…

!`!`We report on the electronic transport of graphene nanoribbon (GNR) arrays fabricated by a chemical unzipping of well-aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes. The high quality of narrow GNRs is implied by the existence of high-field current saturation and the relatively low intensity of disorder peak in parallel pol…

meso-Substituted pentaphyrins(1.1.1.1.1) were unexpectedly isolated as N-fused species under Rothemund-type conditions. The reaction mechanism is unknown at present, but the first example of a nonfused [22]pentaphyrin was reported in 2012. Here, the conformational preferences and N-fusion reaction of [22]- and [24]pen…

We have grown various samples of Si and SiGe nanowires (NWs), either by a classical vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) process or by chemical etching, to measure their thermal conductivity and thus evaluate their efficiency for thermoelectrics applications. To do so, we have chosen a 3ω-Scanning Thermal Microscopy (SThM) imagin…
