Two simple models of two-dimensional auxetic (i.e. negative Poisson's ratio) foams are studied by computer simulations. In the first one, further referred to as a Y-model, the ribs forming the cells of the foam are connected at points corresponding to sites of a disordered honeycomb lattice. In the second one, coined…

A facile reactive-template strategy has been developed to fabricate porous SnO2 nanotubes using MnO2 nanorods as the sacrificial template. The formation of nanotubes is based on the redox reaction mechanism, which requires no post-treatment of the MnO2 templates. The morphological and structural characteristics of the…

The electronic structure of transition metal oxides is frequently studied using density functional theory. Nonetheless, the electronic structure of VO3 has been found to be sensitive to the choice of functional. As a consequence, the basic question of whether or not the ground electronic state exhibits a Jahn-Teller d…
