Over the past decade, electrical detection of chemical and biological species using novel nanostructure-based devices has attracted significant attention for chemical, genomics, biomedical diagnostics, and drug discovery applications. The use of nanostructured devices in chemical/biological sensors in place of convent…
We study the origin of the temperature-induced Mott transition in Ca2RuO4. As a method we use the local-density approximation+dynamical mean-field theory. We show the following. (i) The Mott transition is driven by the change in structure from long to short c-axis layered perovskite (L-Pbca to S-Pbca); it occurs toget…
The effect of uniaxial strain on electronic structure and magnetism in ${\text{LaMnO}}_{3}$ is studied from a model Hamiltonian that illustrates the competition between the Jahn-Teller, superexchange, and double-exchange interactions. We retain in our model the three main octahedral distortions (${Q}_{1}$, ${Q}_{2}$,…
We study the origin of the large Seebeck coefficient despite the metallic conductivity in the La-doped ${\text{SrTiO}}_{3}$ and Ba-doped ${\text{KTaO}}_{3}$. We calculate the band structure of ${\text{SrTiO}}_{3}$ and ${\text{KTaO}}_{3}$, from which the Seebeck coefficient is obtained using the Boltzmann's equation. W…
We show that semiconductor avalanche photodiodes can exhibit diminutive amplification noise during the early evolution of avalanches. The noise is so low that the number of locally excited charges that seed each avalanche can be resolved. These findings constitute an important first step towards realization of a solid…
We demonstrate a close relationship between superconductivity and the dimensions of the Fe-Se(Te) tetrahedron in FeSe0.5Te0.5. This is done by exploiting thin film epitaxy, which provides controlled biaxial stress, both compressive and tensile, to distort the tetrahedron. The Se/Te height within the tetrahedron is fou…
The magnetoresistance of InSb has been intensively investigated. The experiments we perform here focus on weak field magnetoresistance of InSb thin film. We investigate the magnetoresistance of InSb films in perpendicular, tilted as well as parallel magnetic field. Our results verify the previous observations concerni…
Rabenschwarzes Leichtgewicht: Dreidimensionale Makrostrukturen (siehe Bild) entstehen aus Graphenoxid-Schichten und Edelmetallnanokristallen (Au, Ag, Pd, Ir, Rh, Pt usw.). Ungeachtet seiner überaus geringen Dichte (ca. 0.03 g cm−3) verfügen Zylinder wie der abgebildete über hervorragende mechanische Eigenschaften. Als…
The corrosion behavior of four different microstructures of Ti-6Al-4V with varying volume fractions of primary α (0, 10%~20%, 40%~50%, and ~90%) was investigated in sodium chloride (NaCl) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) solutions. The microstructure constituent morphologies and distributions were characterized with optica…
We present a first-principles study of bare and hydrogen passivated armchair nanoribbons of the puckered single layer honeycomb structures of silicon and germanium. Our study includes optimization of atomic structure, stability analysis based on the calculation of phonon dispersions, electronic structure, and the vari…
A density functional theory (DFT) study on stoichiometric bismuth titanate pyrochlore (Bi 2 Ti 2 O 7 −BTO) is presented. Pseudopotential plane wave calculations were carried out to determine band gaps, density of states (DOS), and partial density of states (PDOS) of BTO. The theoretically determined optical property o…
The hexagonal faceted ZnO quantum dots (QDs) about 3-4 nm have been prepared via a sol-gel route by using oleic acid (OA) as the capping agent. It is revealed by electron diffraction patterns and high resolution transmission electron microscopy lattice images that the profile surfaces of the highly crystalline ZnO QDs…
The current-voltage characteristics of armchair graphene nanoribbons under a local uniaxial tension are investigated by using first-principles quantum transport calculations. It is shown that for a given value of bias voltage, the resulting current depends strongly on the applied tension. The observed trends are expla…
An OFF-ON red-emitting phosphorescent thiol probe is designed by using the (3)MLCT photophysics of Ru(II) complexes, i.e., with Ru(II) as the electron donor. The probe is non-luminescent because the MLCT is corrupted by electron transfer from Ru(II) to an intramolecular electron sink (2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl). Thio…
The WHAT IF molecular-modelling and drug design program is widely distributed in the world of protein structure bioinformatics. Although originally designed as an interactive application, its highly modular design and inbuilt control language have recently enabled its deployment as a collection of programmatically acc…
We investigate the transport properties of high-quality single-layer graphene, epitaxially grown on a 6H-SiC(0001) substrate. We have measured transport properties, in particular charge-carrier density, mobility, conductivity, and magnetoconductance of large samples as well as submicrometer-sized Hall bars which are e…
The orbital diamagnetic susceptibility is calculated in monolayer and bilayer graphenes with band gap as well as in three-dimensional Dirac systems. It is demonstrated that the pseudospin degree of freedom such as valleys produces paramagnetic susceptibility analogous to contribution from real spin, and it dominates o…
Ion-sensitive properties of organic electrochemical transistors (OECT) based on Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrene sulfonic acid) (PEDOT:PSS) have been systematically studied for the first time. It has been found that the transfer curve (I(DS)-V(G)) of an OECT shifts to lower gate voltage horizontally with…
Lattice defects in carbon nanotubes and graphene are created by focusing an electron beam in a scanning transmission electron microscope onto a 0.1 nm spot on the objects. Metal atoms migrating on the graphenic surfaces are observed to be trapped by these defects. Depending on the size of the defect, single metal atom…
A linker-free connected reduced graphene oxide/CdSe nanoparticle (R-GO/CdSe NP) nanocomposite was produced by directly anchoring CdSe NPs onto R-GO. The morphological and structural characterizations evidence that the single-crystal CdSe NPs with the size of a few tens of nanometers can be efficiently decorated on the…
