Reactive magnetron sputtering enables the deposition of various thin films to be used for protective as well as optical and electronic applications. However, progressing target erosion during sputtering results in increased magnetic field strengths at the target surface. Consequently, the glow discharge, the target po…

Can we change the average state of a resistor by simply applying white noise? We show that the answer to this question is positive if the resistor has memory of its past dynamics (a memristive system). We also prove that, if the memory arises only from the charge flowing through the resistor -- an ideal memristor -- t…

We study by molecular dynamics the structural properties of single layer hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) in comparison to graphene. We show that the Tersoff bond order potential developed for BN by Albe et al (1997 Radiat. Eff. Defects Solids 141 85-97) gives a thermally stable hexagonal single layer with a bending con…

Thermoelectric figures of merit, ZT > 0.5, have been obtained in arc-melted TiNiSn-based ingots. This promising conversion efficiency is due to a low lattice thermal conductivity, which is attributed to excess nickel in the half-Heusler structure.

Transport properties of multigraphene layers on 6H-SiC substrates fabricated by thermal graphitization of SiC were studied. The principal result is that these structures were shown to contain a nearly perfect graphene layer situated between the SiC substrate and multgraphene layer. It was found that the curves of magn…

Ab initio calculations show that the coupling between antiferrodistortive(AFD) distortions and magnetization in perovskite Bi2FeMnO6 is prohibited to make magnetization rotate as on-site Coulomb interaction($U$) is larger than 2.7 eV, where anomalies in antiferromagnetic(AFM) vectors and band gap varying with on-site…

The time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) equation for a single component non-conservative structural order parameter is used to study the spatio-temporal evolution of a second phase in the vicinity of an edge dislocation in an elastic crystalline solid. A symmetric Landau potential of sixth-order is employed. Disloca…

We report ferroelectricity with fairly large spontaneous polarization (P ~ 0.2 - 0.8 \muC/cm2) below the Néel temperature of chromium (TNCr) in weakly ferromagnetic rare-earth orthochromites, RCrO3 (R=rare-earth) only when the rare-earth ion is magnetic. Intriguingly, the ferroelectricity in ErCrO3 (TC = 133 K) disapp…

White beam x-ray Laue microdiffraction allows fast mapping of crystal orientation and strain fields in polycrystals, with a submicron spatial resolution in two dimensions. In the well crystallized parts of the grains, the analysis of Laue spot positions provides the local deviatoric strain tensor. The hydrostatic part…

We use atomistic tight-binding theory with a configuration interaction description of Coulomb and exchange effects to describe excitons in symmetric quantum dots in a vertical electric field. We show that field-induced manipulation of exciton orientation and phase produces a drastic reduction of fine structure splitti…
