We report a structural and thermodynamic study of the "stuffed spin ice" material Ho2TiO5 (i.e., Ho2(Ti1.33Ho0.67)O6.67), comparing samples synthesized through two different routes. Neutron powder diffraction and electron diffraction reveal that the previously reported defect fluorite phase has short-range pyrochlore…
Phonon transmission across epitaxial interfaces is studied within the lattice dynamic approach. The transmission shows weak dependence on frequency for the lattice wave with a fixed angle of incidence. The dependence on azimuth angle is found to be related to the symmetry of the boundary interface. The transmission va…
We report a molecular dynamics simulation of melting of tungsten (W) nanoparticles. The modified embedded atom method (MEAM) interatomic potentials are used to describe the interaction between tungsten atoms. The melting temperature of unsupported tungsten nanoparticles of different sizes are found to decrease as the…
Experimental results for covalent glasses have highlighted the existence of a self-organized phase due to the tendency of glass networks to minimize internal stress. Recently, we have shown that an equilibrated self-organized two-dimensional lattice-based model also possesses an intermediate phase in which a percolati…
Mechanisms for the uptake and transport of carotenoids, essential nutrients for humans, are not well understood in any animal system. The Y (Yellow blood) gene, a critical cocoon color determinant in the silkworm Bombyx mori, controls the uptake of carotenoids into the intestinal mucosa and the silk gland. Here we pro…
Dynamic magnetic susceptibility, $χ$, was studied in several intermetallic materials exhibiting ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic and metamagnetic transitions. Precise measurements by using a 14 MHz tunnel diode oscillator (TDO) allow detailed insight into the field and temperature dependence of $χ$. In particular, loc…
When enemies become friends: Hierarchical self-assembly, through the concerted use of different forces that dominate on distinct length scales, allows the generation of functional supramolecular architectures with a high degree of order on both the nano- and macroscopic scales, paving the way towards their application…
Magnetic nanoparticles with Neel surface anisotropy, different internal structures, surface arrangements and elongation are modelled as many-spin systems. The results suggest that the energy of many-spin nanoparticles cut from cubic lattices can be represented by an effective one-spin potential containing uniaxial and…
We have first used the aquesous KMnO4 solutions to de-intercalate and oxideze gamma-phase of Na0.7CoO2 and successfully form the superconductive phase of cobalt oxyhydrate hydrates (Na,K)xCoO2.yH2O with Tc=3.2-4.6K based on the magnetization measurements. The higher molar ratio of KMnO4/Na used to treat Na0.7CoO2 resu…
A structurally fascinating Keplerate magnetic cluster featuring an icosidodecahedron of Ni(II) ions encapsulating a dodecahedron of La(III) ions was assembled under hydrothermal conditions starting with La(NO 3 ) 3, Ni(NO 3 ) 2, and iminodiacetic acid. The cage-like arrangement of the two distinct sets of metal ions m…
Abstract Nanotechnology has become in recent years a topic of great interest to scientists and engineers, and is now established as prioritized research area in many countries. The reduction of the size to the nanometer range brings an array of new possibilities in terms of material properties, in particular with resp…
The transition between the Cassie and Wenzel wetting regimes has been observed under vertical vibration of a water drop placed on a rough micrometrically scaled polymer pattern. The transition takes place under the constant force per unit length of the triple contact line, not under constant pressure. A study of the v…
We report on the unusual nature of the $\ensuremath{\nu}=0$ state in the integer quantum Hall effect (QHE) in graphene and show that electron transport in this regime is dominated by counterpropagating edge states. Such states, intrinsic to massless Dirac quasiparticles, manifest themselves in a large longitudinal res…
We demonstrate the room-temperature control of magnetization reversal with an electric field in an epitaxial nanostructure consisting of ferrimagnetic nanopillars embedded in a ferroelectric matrix. This was achieved by combining a weak, uniform magnetic field with the switching electric field to selectively switch pi…
We report infrared studies of the Landau level (LL) transitions in single layer graphene. Our specimens are density tunable and show in situ half-integer quantum Hall plateaus. Infrared transmission is measured in magnetic fields up to B=18 T at selected LL fillings. Resonances between hole LLs and electron LLs, as we…
We employ scanning probe microscopy to reveal atomic structures and nanoscale morphology of graphene-based electronic devices (i.e., a graphene sheet supported by an insulating silicon dioxide substrate) for the first time. Atomic resolution scanning tunneling microscopy images reveal the presence of a strong spatiall…
The dynamical dielectric function of two-dimensional graphene at arbitrary wave vector $q$ and frequency $\ensuremath{\omega}$, $ϵ(q,\ensuremath{\omega})$, is calculated in the self-consistent-field approximation. The results are used to find the dispersion of the plasmon mode and the electrostatic screening of the Co…

Abstract Electron absorption, excitation and emission spectra have been measured for Cr 3+ ion‐doped NaMg 3 Al(MoO 4 ) 5 crystal in the temperature range from 9 to 300 K. The sharp lines of the 2 E– 4 T 2 emission and broadband 4 T 2 – 4 A 2 luminescence from strong and weak crystal field Cr 3+ sites as well as their…
Hydroformylation of 6-methoxy-2-vinylnaphthalene (MVN), using homogeneous Rh(CO) 2 (acac) as a catalyst and a chelating bidentate ligand (1,2-bis-(diphenylphosphino) ethane, dppe), followed by oxidation of the product (2-(6-methoxynaphthyl) propanal, 2-MNP) has been studied as an alternative route for the synthesis of…
