Here we review measurements of the normal and superconducting state properties of iron-based superconductors using high magnetic fields. We discuss the various physical mechanisms that limit superconductivity in high fields, and the information on the superconducting state that can be extracted from the upper critical…

The drag of massless fermions in graphene double-layer structures is investigated over a wide range of temperatures and interlayer separations. We show that the inhomogeneity of the dielectric background in such graphene structures, for experimentally relevant parameters, results in a significant enhancement of the dr…

The continuous wavelet transform is employed to analyze the dynamics and time-dependent energy distribution of phonon wave-packet propagation and scattering in molecular dynamics simulations. The equations of the one-dimensional continuous wavelet transform are presented and then discretized for implementation. Practi…

Abstract Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) was melt blended in a twin screw extruder using an ethylene‐methyl acrylate‐glycidyl methacrylate rubber as a toughener. PLA/rubber blends were immiscible as observed by scanning electron microscopy. Impact strength and ductility of PLA were improved by the addition of the rubber at t…

We report a template-free strategy based on steric repulsion for the isolation of discrete columnar aggregates of macrocycles. Specifically, introduction of sterically-demanding trityl-derived substituents at the periphery of Pt(4) Schiff base macrocycles limits the otherwise infinite one-dimensional columnar aggregat…

We investigated the reaction paths of Stone-Wales rearrangement (SWR), i.e., π/2 rotation of two carbon atoms with respect to the midpoint of the bond, in graphene and carbon nanotube quantum chemically. Our particular attention is focused on the roles of electronic excitations and conical intersections (CIs) in the r…

The doping-charge effects on the electronic structure and stability of hydrogenated graphene have been investigated using density functional theory. Charge doping profoundly decreases the exchange splittings of the magnetic states, but has a negligible effect on the nonmagnetic states in hydrogenated graphene. The tun…

Alloy discovery and development is slowed by trial and error methods used to identify beneficial alloying elements. This fact has led to suggestions that integrating quantum theory and modeling with traditional experimental approaches might accelerate the pace of alloy discovery. We report here on one such effort, usi…
