We demonstrate that by decoupling the interlayer interactions, N-layer hexagonal graphene is decomposed into the N independent subsystems. Each subsystem, exactly described by a 2 × 2 matrix, is treated as a renormalized graphene with the renormalized site energy and intralayer interaction. The analytical form of the…

Abstract Catalytic activities for direct NO decomposition were investigated on C-type cubic Y2O3–ZrO2 and Y2O3–ZrO2–BaO prepared by coprecipitation. Introduction of excess oxide anions in the Y2O3 lattice was achieved by partial substitution of the Y3+ sites with Zr4+, and high NO decomposition activity was obtained f…

The magnetoresonance and dielectric properties of a number of crystals of a new family of multiferroics, namely, rare-earth ferroborates RFe3(BO3)4 (R = Y, Eu, Pr, Tb, Tb0.25Er0.75), are studied in the sub-millimeter frequency range (ν = 3–20 cm−1). Ferroborates with R = Y, Tb, and Eu exhibit permittivity jumps at tem…

Concrete is a material used all over the world for civil engineering but the mechanisms governing its dynamic behaviour are still not well understood. In this work, spalling tests and edge-on impact experiments have been used to determine the influence of the free-water contained in pores and micro-cracks on the dynam…
