The adsorption of even a single serum protein molecule on a gold nanosphere used in biomedical imaging may increase the size too much for renal clearance. In this work, we designed charged ~5 nm Au nanospheres coated with binary mixed-charge ligand monolayers that do not change in size upon incubation in pure fetal bo…

Hardness and strength values of over 55 copper alloys strengthened by solid solution strengthening, precipitation hardening, cold working, and dispersion strengthening were compiled. The yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) values of the copper alloys examined ranged between 50 to 1300 MPa and 200 t…

In-cylinder blending of gasoline and diesel to achieve Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) has been shown to reduce NOX and particulate matter (PM) emissions while maintaining or improving brake thermal efficiency as compared to conventional diesel combustion (CDC). The RCCI concept has an advantage over…

We demonstrate how the mixed dynamic form factor (MDFF) can be interpreted as a quadratic form. This makes it possible to use matrix diagonalization methods to reduce the number of terms that need to be taken into account when calculating the inelastic scattering of electrons in a crystal. It also leads in a natural w…

We report our observation of the training effect on dc electrical properties in a nanochain of BiFeO$_3$ as a result of large scale migration of defects under combined influence of electric field and Joule heating. We show that an optimum number of cycles of electric field within the range zero to $\sim$1.0 MV/cm acro…

Using first-principles calculations, we study theoretically the stable $2H$ hexagonal structure of BaMnO${}_{3}$. We show that from the stable high-temperature $P{6}_{3}/mmc$ structure, the compound should exhibit an improper ferroelectric structural phase transition to a $P{6}_{3}cm$ ground state. Combined with its a…

We investigate the ferromagnetic resonance response of palladium-cobalt bi-layer thin films to hydrogen charging at atmospheric pressure. We find that hydrogen absorption by the palladium capping layer results in the narrowing and shifting of the ferromagnetic resonance line of the underlying cobalt. We explain the ob…

B diffusion measurements are used to probe the basic nature of self-interstitial point defects in Ge. We find two distinct self-interstitial forms--a simple one with low entropy and a complex one with entropy ∼30 k at the migration saddle point. The latter dominates diffusion at high temperature. We propose that its s…

Nuclear site analysis methods are used to enumerate the normal modes of ABX3 perovskite polymorphs with octahedral rotations. We provide the modes of the 14 subgroups of the cubic aristotype describing the Glazer octahedral tilt patterns, which are obtained from rotations of the BX6 octahedra with different sense and…

We report the observation of para - antiferromagnetic transition at ~ 50 K in lithium iron phosphate, LiFePO4 through DC magnetization and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The Ferrous ion Fe2+ (3d6, 5D) in LiFePO4 exhibits relaxation effects with a relaxation frequency ~1.076 \times 10(rise to 7) s-1 at 300 K. The temperature…

In this paper, single-phase multiferroic ceramics of (1 − x) BaTiO3 − x BiFeO3 (BT − x BFO) were synthesized by solid-solution method in the wide range of material composition (x = 0.025 – 1.0). The changes in crystal structure were confirmed via X-ray diffractions (XRD) and atomic pair distribution functions (PDFs).…

A unified approach is used to study vibrational properties of periodic systems with first-principles methods and including anharmonic effects. Our approach provides a theoretical basis for the determination of phonon-dependent quantities at finite temperatures. The low-energy portion of the Born-Oppenheimer energy sur…

We have synthesized epitaxial Sr2IrO4 thin-films on various substrates and studied their electronic structure as a function of lattice-strain. Under tensile (compressive) strain, increased (decreased) Ir-O-Ir bond-angle is expected to result in increased (decreased) electronic bandwidth. However, we have observed that…

Emerging resistive-crossbar memory (RCM) technology can be promising for computationally-expensive analog pattern-matching tasks. However, the use of CMOS analog-circuits with RCM would result in large power-consumption and poor scalability, thereby eschewing the benefits of RCM-based computation. We propose the use o…
