We present the synthesis of dual-responsive (pH and temperature) magnetic core-shell nanoparticles utilizing the grafting-from approach. First, oleic acid stabilized superparamagnetic maghemite (γ-Fe(2)O(3)) nanoparticles (NPs), prepared by thermal decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl, were surface-functionalized with…

In this work, we propose dislocation mechanisms for the formation of double twin structures in hexagonal close packed (HCP) crystals through the nucleation of secondary twins within primary twin domains. The model considers that secondary twins associated with the most commonly observed double twin variants (i.e. type…

We discuss two research projects in material science in which the results cannot be stated with an estimation of the error: a spectroscopic ellipsometry study aimed at determining the orientation of DNA molecules on diamond and a scanning tunneling microscopy study of platinum‐induced nanowires on germanium. To invest…

We study theoretically the multiferroic dynamics in a composite one-dimensional system consisting of BaTiO${}_{3}$ multiferroically coupled to an iron chain. The method treats magnetization and polarization as thermodynamic quantities describable via a combination of the Landau-Lifshits-Gilbert and the Ginzburg-Landau…

Nanowire-based light-emitting devices require multi-quantum well heterostructures with high room temperature optical efficiencies. We demonstrate that such efficiencies can be attained through the use of ZnO/Zn((1-x))Mg(x)O core-shell quantum well heterostructures grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. Varying th…

We study the exchange and correlation hole of the valence shell of second row atoms using variational Monte Carlo techniques, especially correlated estimates, and norm-conserving pseudopotentials. The well-known scaling of the valence shell provides a tool to probe the behavior of exchange and correlation as a functio…

A linear-algebraic theory called 'multiple Arnoldi method' is presented and realizes large-scale (order-N) electronic structure calculation with generalized eigen-value equations. A set of linear equations, in the form of (zS-H) x = b, are solved simultaneously with multiple Krylov subspaces. The method is implemented…

Single crystals of CaZn2Sb2, EuZn2Sb2, and YbZn2Sb2 were grown from melts of nominal composition AZn5Sb5 (A = Ca,Eu,Yb) with the excess melt being removed at 1073 K. The electrical transport properties are consistent with those previously reported for polycrystalline samples. This confirms that the p-type carrier conc…

Through a lattice dynamics analysis, it is revealed that the bubble plays a role of energy shield in the graphene, which helps to split the normal modes into two categories of distinct topological nature, namely the bright and dark modes. The topological invariants, Euler characteristic, of the bright and dark modes a…

In order to understand the material dependence of ${T}_{c}$ within the single-layered cuprates, we study a two-orbital model that considers both ${d}_{{x}^{2}\ensuremath{-}{y}^{2}}$ and ${d}_{{z}^{2}}$ orbitals. We reveal that a hybridization of ${d}_{{z}^{2}}$ on the Fermi surface substantially affects ${T}_{c}$ in t…

ZnO films became ferromagnetic when defects were introduced by thermal-annealing in flowing argon. This ferromagnetism, as shown by the photoluminescence measurement and positron annihilation analysis, was induced by the singly occupied oxygen vacancy with a saturated magnetization dependent positively on the amount o…
