We investigate the thermal conductivity of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) either isolated or in contact with external media by using equilibrium molecular dynamics and the Boltzmann transport equation. We show that, contrary to existing controversies, both methods yield a finite value of the thermal conductivity…

In spin crossover materials, an abrupt phase transition between a low-spin state and a high-spin (HS) state can be driven by temperature, pressure or by light irradiation. Of special relevance are Fe(II) based coordination polymers where, in contrast to molecular systems, the phase transition between a spin S =0 and 2…

We report a first principles formalism and its numerical implementation for treating quantum transport properties of nanoelectronic devices with atomistic disorder. We developed a nonequilibrium vertex correction (NVC) theory to handle the configurational average of random disorder at the density matrix level so that…

We use experiments, numerical simulations, and theoretical analysis to investigate the propagation of highly nonlinear solitary waves in periodic arrangements of dimer (two-mass) and trimer (three-mass) cell structures in one-dimensional granular lattices. To vary the composition of the fundamental periodic units in t…

Graphene outstanding properties directly come from its pecular electronic structure and thus from the honeycomb lattice symmetry. The way interaction with the substrate impact this lattice is of primary importance. This is peculiarly true for epitaxial graphene because of the SiC substrate. The advantage of this syste…

Water drops deposited on hydrophobic materials decorated with dilute micro-posts generally form pearls. Owing to the hydrophobicity of the material, the drop sits on the top of the posts. However, this “fakir state” is often metastable: if the drop impales inside the texture, its surface energy is lowered. Here we dis…

Nonfouling materials are of great importance for numerous applications. A simple method is introduced to prepare nonfouling materials and surfaces (see figure) with unique properties from a variety of desirable functional groups. Materials with a uniform distribution of mixed charged groups at the nanometer scale, sim…

Abstract Bridged polysilsesquioxanes containing urea groups (ureasils) exhibit a broad photoluminescent emission in the visible spectrum. For a particular bridged polysilsesquioxane synthesized by the hydrolytic condensation of a precursor prepared by reaction of 4,4′‐[1,3 phenylenebis‐(1‐methylethylidene)]bis(aniline…

The electronic structure of BaPbO 3 and Ba 2 PbO 4 was investigated using photoemission, x-ray diffraction (XRD) and tight binding linear muffin tin orbital (TB-LMTO) band structure techniques. BaPbO 3 is a base material for all Pb based superconductors. Rietveld analysis of the XRD data suggested that BaPbO 3 is an o…
