For effective adsorption of carbon dioxide (CO2), we investigate a porous N functionalized graphene adsorbent produced by the chemical activation of a reduced graphene oxide/polyaniline composite. The N-doped graphene composite is microporous with a maximum BET surface area of 1336 m(2) g(-1). It shows a highly revers…

We investigated the in-plane resistivity anisotropy for underdoped Ba(Fe(1-x)Co(x))(2)As(2) single crystals with improved quality. We demonstrate that the anisotropy in resistivity in the magnetostructural ordered phase arises from the anisotropy in the residual component which increases in proportion to the Co concen…

Modulation of band bending at a complex oxide heterointerface by a ferroelectric layer is demonstrated. The as-grown polarization (Pup ) leads to charge depletion and consequently low conduction. Switching the polarization direction (Pdown ) results in charge accumulation and enhances the conduction at the interface.…

The past few decades have brought about a significant expansion in our understanding of the diatom life cycle, particularly its sexual part. Presented here is a set of proposals for the terminology of processes and structures associated with sexual reproduction and for the resting stages of diatoms, some of which have…

The presence of ferroelectricity in hexagonal InMnO${}_{3}$ has been highly under debate. The results of our comprehensive experiments of low-temperature ($T$) polarization, transmission electron microscopy, and high-angle annular dark-field scanning TEM on well-controlled InMnO${}_{3}$ reveal that the ground state is…

Superthick diamond-like carbon (DLC) films [(Six-DLC/Siy-DLC)n/DLC] were deposited on 304 stainless steel substrates by using a plane hollow cathode plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. The structure was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Chemical bonding wa…

SrRuO3 (SRO), a conducting transition metal oxide, is commonly used for engineering domains in BiFeO3. Oxide devices can be envisioned by integrating SRO with an oxide semiconductor as Nb doped SrTiO3 (Nb:STO). Using a three-terminal device configuration, we study vertical transport in a SRO/Nb:STO device at the nanos…

The usefulness of glasses, and particularly of metallic glasses, in technological applications is often limited by their toughness, (which is defined as the area under the stress vs. strain curve before plastic yielding). Recently, toughness was found to increase significantly by the addition of small concentrations o…

In this paper, we demonstrate that in Ta/MgO/IrMn tunneling junctions, containing no ferromagnetic elements, distinct metastable resistance states can be set by field cooling the devices from above the Néel temperature (TN) along different orientations. Variations of the resistance up to 10% are found upon field cooli…

We studied the ferromagnetic domains and the presence of phase coexistence in a Y0.67Ca0.33MnO3 thin film with a combination of magnetic force microscopy and magnetization measurements. Our results show that the spin glass-like behavior, reported previously for this system, could be attributed to frustrated interfaces…

Spin-crossover molecules have recently emerged as a family of compounds potentially useful for implementing molecular spintronics devices. The calculations of the electronic properties of such molecules is a formidable theoretical challenge, as one has to describe the spin ground state of a transition metal as the lig…

Mycobacterium tuberculosis mannose-capped lipoarabinomannan inhibits the release of proinflammatory cytokines by LPS-stimulated human dendritic cells (DCs) via targeting the C-type lectin receptor DC-specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN). With the aim of mimicking the bioactive supr…

Temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy measurements in Y2NiMnO6 ceramics were performed in the 20 K–850 K range. A detailed analysis of the temperature dependence of the phonon energy of the oxygen octahedra stretching mode shows an anomalous softening below the Curie temperature. This effect was ascribed to a spin-…

We measure power dissipation in phase change memory (PCM) devices by scanning Joule expansion microscopy (SJEM) with ∼50 nm spatial and 0.2 K temperature resolution. The temperature rise in the Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) is dominated by Joule heating, but at the GST-TiW contacts it is a combination of Peltier and current crowdin…

The energy released in a magnetic material by reversing spins as they relax toward equilibrium can lead to a dynamical instability that ignites self-sustained rapid relaxation along a deflagration front that propagates at a constant subsonic speed. Using a trigger heat pulse and transverse and longitudinal magnetic fi…

We report anisotropic magnetoresistance in $\mathrm{Pt}|{\mathrm{Y}}_{3}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{5}{\mathrm{O}}_{12}$ bilayers. In spite of ${\mathrm{Y}}_{3}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{5}{\mathrm{O}}_{12}$ being a very good electrical insulator, the resistance of the Pt layer reflects its magnetization direction. The effect persists even wh…
