The thermoelectric properties of double-perovskite oxide Sr2−xLaxCoTiO6−δ were revealed to vary anomalously with the La concentration, plausibly due to a structural transition found in this study. Although the temperature dependence of the resistivity and thermopower of the present oxide showed a semiconductor-to-meta…

The optical properties of zigzag and armchair boron nitride nanoribbons (BNNRs) are investigated via a GW-Bethe-Salpeter equation approach. The reduced dimensionality and large band gaps of the BNNRs significantly enhance the exciton binding energies up to several eV. Many-body effects dramatically reshape the absorpt…

Graphene quantum dots (QDs) hold great promises in spintronics. Here, we report our predictions of honeycomb-patterned QDs beyond graphene, on the basis of first-principles calculations and an extended Hubbard model. Our calculations showed that the electronic structures and spin-polarization of boron nitride (BN) and…

In the charging model, the fluorescence intermittency observed in semiconductor nanocrystals is explained in terms of an Auger-mediated quenching of the photoluminescence in the presence of a single additional charge delocalized in the dot core. The validity of this description has however been challenged by recent ex…

Can radiation damage to protein crystals be `outrun' by collecting a structural data set before damage is manifested? Recent experiments using ultra-intense pulses from a free-electron laser show that the answer is yes. Here, evidence is presented that significant reductions in global damage at temperatures above 200…
