The physical mechanism for the electronic structures tuning and band gap opening of α-graphyne are investigated from the first principles calculations. The pathway of using B and N atoms to codope into graphyne is proposed. After codoping, B atom plays a role of hole doping and N atom acts as electron doping. In codop…

A desert beetle tilts its body forward into the fog-laden wind to collect water by the hydrophilic patches on its superhydrophobic back. In this study, the pinning and dewetting mechanism of a tilted drop pinned by a designed patch on a superhydrophobic surface with negligible contact angle hysteresis (CAH) is explore…

Golden opportunity: Na13Au12Ga15 is the first Na-containing, thermodynamically stable quasicrystal and was discovered during systematic exploration of the polar intermetallic Na–Au–Ga system. Its electron-to-atom ratio, 1.75, is extremely low for Bergman-type icosahedral phases, but it is the substantial Au content th…

The origin of the narrow particle size distributions obtained in the oleic acid-based synthesis of hexagonal phase β-NaREF(4) nanocrystals (RE = Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb) has been investigated. Compared to the standard synthesis, the growth conditions were simplified by using small purified particles of either α-NaREF(4) (cubic…

Secondary ion mass spectrometry has been used to characterize translational motion in vapor-deposited glasses of indomethacin (IMC) and α,α,β-tris-naphthylbenzene (TNB). Vapor deposition onto substrates at ∼0.99 T(g) produced ordinary glasses that evolve according to fickian diffusion during annealing. The resulting s…
