The scheelite type laser crystals LiREF4 melt congruently only for RE being one of the elements Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, or possibly Y, respectively. For RE = Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, or Ho the corresponding scheelites undergo a peritectic melting under the formation of the corresponding rare earth fluoride. The melting behavior of LiR…

We propose a method of measuring the electron temperature T_{e} in mesoscopic conductors and demonstrate experimentally its applicability to micron-size graphene devices in the linear-response regime (T_{e} approximately T, the bath temperature). The method can be especially useful in case of overheating, T_{e}>T. It…

We investigate the motion of a nano tippe top, which is formed from a C60 fullerene, and which is assumed to be spinning on either a graphene sheet or the interior of a single-walled carbon nanotube. We assume no specific geometric configuration for the top, however for example, the nano tippe top might be formed by j…

The transition from n = 0 to n = 2 is revealed where n is the number of components of ordering field. The critical exponents are estimated. In frameworks of scaling theory of phase transitions and critical phenomena the results obtained are in a good agreement with experimental and theoretical data.

We report the unexpected evolution, with thermal and magnetic-field (H) variations, of the interrelation between the polarization P, magnetization M, and spiral wave vector Q in CoCr2O4, which has a ferrimagnetic conical-spiral magnetic order. For example, P suddenly jumps and changes its sign at the magnetic lock-in…

Single-phase multiferroic BiFeO3 ceramics were fabricated using pure precipitation-prepared BiFeO3 powder. Dielectric response of BiFeO3 ceramics was investigated over a wide range of temperature and frequency. Our results reveal that the BiFeO3 ceramic sintered at 700 °C exhibited high dielectric permittivity, and th…

Silver nanocrystals encapsulated in mesoporous silica nanoparticles are prepared by coating hydrophobic silver nanocrystals with amphiphilic surfactants and growing mesostructured silica around the materials. The nanoparticles can be used as antimicrobial agents for both Gram-positive and -negative bacteria through ox…

Gilbert damping for the epitaxial Co2FeAl Heusler alloy films was investigated. Gilbert damping constant for the films was evaluated by analyzing the data of ferromagnetic resonance measured at the frequency of 2–20 GHz. Gilbert damping constant for the film without annealing was rather large, while it decreased remar…

We derive the elastic properties of a cylindrical cloak for in-plane coupled shear and pressure waves. The cloak is characterized by a rank 4 elasticity tensor with spatially varying entries, which are deduced from a geometric transform. Remarkably, the Navier equations retain their form under this transform, which is…

In the study, we explored the antimicrobial activities of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with different surface groups to bacterial pathogens, including Gram-negative vs Gram-positive species and rod-shaped vs round-shaped species. We report here for the first time that…

We performed high-field magnetotransport and magnetization measurements on a single crystal of the 122-phase iron pnictide Ba(Fe1−xCox)2As2. Unlike the high-temperature superconductor cuprates and 1111-phase oxypnictides, Ba(Fe1−xCox)2As2 showed practically no broadening of the resistive transitions under magnetic fie…

We measure the channel potential of a graphene transistor using a scanning photocurrent imaging technique. We show that at a certain gate bias, the impact of the metal on the channel potential profile extends into the channel for more than one-third of the total channel length from both source and drain sides; hence,…

We fabricate and characterize dual-gated graphene field-effect transistors using Al2O3 as top-gate dielectric. We use a thin Al film as a nucleation layer to enable the atomic layer deposition of Al2O3. Our devices show mobility values of over 8000 cm2/V s at room temperature, a finding which indicates that the top-ga…

The functional contains an \emph{exact} expression of the entropy of noninteracting molecules and thus provides an ideal starting point for the…
