Metamaterials are characterized by counterintuitive phenomena, which have been debated since their first practical realization. Due to their anomalous backward power flow, it has been recently discussed whether even the classic definition of the Poynting vector, defining the power flux per unit surface, should be modi…

A scheme is described for performing molecular dynamics simulations on polymers under nonperiodic, stochastic boundary conditions. It has been designed to allow later the embedding of a particle domain treated by molecular dynamics into a continuum environment treated by finite elements. It combines, in the boundary r…

We present molecular dynamics simulations of SiO${}_{2}$ and GeO${}_{2}$ glasses up to megabar pressures, 120 and 160 GPa, respectively, and show direct parallels between polyamorphism of glasses and polymorphism of their crystalline counterparts under compression. The glasses undergo a set of several smooth transform…

Abstract We present a comprehensive analysis of the Raman spectra of pure and zirconium‐doped anatase TiO 2 nanoparticles. To account for the wavenumber shifts of the E g (ν 6 ) mode as a function of particle size ( L ) and dopant concentration ( x ), a modification of the standard phonon confinement model (PCM) is in…

A spatially modulated Dirac gap in a graphene sheet leads to charge confinement, thus enabling a graphene quantum dot to be formed without the application of external electric and magnetic fields [G. Giavaras and F. Nori, Appl. Phys. Lett. 97, 243106 (2010)]. This can be achieved provided the Dirac gap has a local min…
