Chemical vapor deposition based graphene grown on copper foil is attractive for electronic applications owing to its reliable growth process, large area coverage, and relatively defect free nature. However, transfer of the synthesized graphene to host substrate for subsequent device fabrication is extremely sensitive…

Energy absorption in multiferroic materials stems typically from strain relaxation which can be strong even when no extrinsic defects exist in the material. Computer simulations of a simple two-dimensional model on a generic, proper ferroelastic material identify the dissipative mechanisms associated with the dynamica…

We demonstrate that Zn(Mg)O:Ga layers can be grown by molecular beam epitaxy in a two-dimensional mode with high structural perfection up to Ga mole fractions of about 6.5%. The doping efficiency is practically 100% so that free-carrier concentrations of almost 1021 cm−3 can be realized providing a zero-crossover wave…

Asymmetrical electrical boundary conditions in (001)-oriented Pb(Zr0.2TiO0.8)O3 (PZT) epitaxial ultrathin ferroelectric films are exploited to control surface photochemical reactivity determined by the sign of the surface polarization charge. It is shown that the preferential orientation of polarization in the as-grow…

We investigate the origins of experimentally observed differences in the structure-directing capabilities of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) for the shape-selective, colloidal synthesis of {100}-faceted Ag nanostructures. Using dispersion-corrected density-functional theory, we calculate the bi…

The low cycle fatigue behavior of Alloy 617 has been evaluated at 850 °C and 950 °C, the temperature range of particular interest for the intermediate heat exchanger on a proposed high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor. Cycles to failure were measured as a function of total strain range and varying strain rate. R…

We perform ab initio calculations that indicate that the relative stability of antiphase boundaries (APBs) with armchair and zigzag chiralities in monolayer boron nitride (BN) is strongly dependent on the chemical potentials of boron (B) and nitrogen (N) in the synthesis process. For a realistic interval of chemical p…

Compounds of MnFeP1−xAsx have received attention recently for their use in active magnetic regenerators (AMR) because of their relatively high isothermal entropy change and adiabatic temperature change with magnetization. However, the materials also generally exhibit a significant magnetic and thermal hysteresis, and…

The amide bond is a versatile functional group and its directional hydrogen-bonding capabilities are widely applied in, for example, supramolecular chemistry. The potential of the thioamide bond, in contrast, is virtually unexplored as a structuring moiety in hydrogen-bonding-based self-assembling systems. We report h…

Polybenzoxazole (PBO) reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is of great interest in the field of polymer composites because PBO and CNTs possess the highest-level mechanical properties among polymers and filler materials, respectively. However, the insolubility of PBO and the CNTs makes it difficult to develop a CNT…

The effect of electron-phonon coupling on thermal conductance across metal-dielectric interfaces remains inconclusive. The leading model employs the phonon thermal conductivity of the metal that is difficult to estimate. We remove this difficulty by obtaining the conductance directly from the Bloch-Boltzmann-Peierls f…
