While the lattice volume in the solid-solution Ba1−xCaxTiO3 decreases with increasing x, the Curie temperature remains unaffected, in contrast to Ba1−xSrxTiO3. We have determined the origin of this phenomenon by comparing the local structures in (Ba,Ca)TiO3 and (Ba,Sr)TiO3. Reverse Monte Carlo refinements of instantan…

Self-assembly of ZnO porous nanosheets with novel parallelogram morphology and high specific surface area is achieved by a one-pot alkalization reaction. The growth mechanism relies on the dual roles of the precursor: providing the building blocks and the assembling template concurrently. This porous structure with ac…

Ideal hydrophobic-hydrophilic composite cavities are highly desired to enhance nucleate boiling. However, it is challenging and costly to fabricate these types of cavities by conventional micro/nano fabrication techniques. In this study, a type of hydrophobic-hydrophilic composite interfaces were synthesized from func…

Aggregated metal nanoparticles have been known to display significantly enhanced two-photon photoluminescence (TPPL) compared to nonaggregated nanoparticles, which could be utilized to develop platforms for two-photon sensing and imaging applications. Here we have conducted single-particle spectroscopic studies on gol…

Over the past decades, our understanding of nacre's toughening origin has long stayed at the level of crack deflection along the biopolymer interface between aragonite platelets. It has been widely thought that the ceramic aragonite platelets in nacre invariably remain shielded from the propagating crack. Here we repo…

The four copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) with the size of 25, 50, 78 and 100 nm and one type of micron-sized particles (MPs) (~500 nm) were exposed to two mammalian (H4IIE and HepG2) and two piscine (PLHC-1 and RTH-149) cell lines to test the species-specific toxicities of CuNPs. The results showed that the morphologies,…

The radio-frequency (RF) voltage amplification property of a tunnel magnetoresistance device driven by an RF external-magnetic-field-induced ferromagnetic resonance was studied. The proposed device consists of a magnetic tunnel junction and an electrically isolated coplanar waveguide. The input RF voltage applied to t…

The development of high performance transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) is critical to many technologies from transparent electronics to solar cells. While n-type TCOs are present in many devices, current p-type TCOs are not largely commercialized as they exhibit much lower carrier mobilities, due to the large hole e…

By means of atomistic simulations, we demonstrate that a dislocation core exhibits intermittent quasistatic restructuring during incremental shear within the same Peierls valley. This can be regarded as a stick-slip transition, which is also reproduced for a one-dimensional Frenkel-Kontorova chain under rigid boundary…

The resistivity and the mobility of Carbon doped GaAs nanowires have been studied for different doping concentrations. Surface effects have been evaluated by comparing upassivated with passivated nanowires. We directly see the influence of the surface: the pinning of the Fermi level and the consequent existence of a d…

We study the temperature-dependent dynamical processes of a Si 10 H 16 cluster and obtain a blue shift of the Si–Si vibrational modes with transverse acoustic character and a red shift of the other vibrational modes with increasing temperature. We link this behavior to the bond length expansion and the varying sign of…

Heat assisted recording is believed as a key future recording technology. In the work of H. J. Richter et al. [J. Appl. Phys. 111, 033909 (2012)] it is stated that storage densities will be limited to 15–20 Tbit/in2 due to thermally induced write errors. In this letter we propose a composite structure consisting of tw…

We study experimentally the magnetic coupling between ferromagnets separated by a thin Pt layer. The coupling remains ferromagnetic regardless of the Pt thickness and exhibits a significant dependence on temperature. We show that these results are consistent with the effects of temperature-dependent magnetism induced…
