The Coulomb interaction between massless Dirac fermions may induce dynamical chiral symmetry breaking by forming excitonic pairs in clean graphene, leading to semimetal-insulator transition. If the Dirac fermions have zero bare mass, an exact continuous chiral symmetry is dynamically broken and thus there are massless…

FexPt(1−x) nanowire arrays embedded in porous alumina membranes with controlled diameters and high aspect ratios were fabricated by the pulse electrodeposition method in a novel bath with a simple composition. The composition of FexPt(1−x) nanowires can be highly controlled by the negative deposition voltage and the p…

Calculations for model oligomers of the emeraldine salt with UBLYP/6-31G*/PCM are performed. The models differ in number of monomers, in the position of the counterions (Cl(-)), and in multiplicity. The molecular features affected most prominently by the protonation, namely, structure, energetics, and electron and spi…

Studies aimed at understanding the global properties of the hyperpolarizabilities have focused on identifying universal properties when the hyperpolarizabilities are at the fundamental limit. These studies have taken two complimentary approaches: (1) Monte Carlo techniques that statistically probe the full parameter s…

We have developed a general method combining photochemical grafting and copper-catalyzed click chemistry for biofunctionalization of titanium substrates. The UV-activated grafting of an α,ω-alkenyne onto TiO(2)/Ti substrates provided a "clickable" thin film platform. The selective attachment of the vinyl end of the mo…

It has recently been demonstrated that pentacene can serve as protection layer for graphene on SiC preserving the unique E(k) band dispersion after exposure to atmosphere and subsequent annealing in vacuum. We confirm the stability of the ideal graphene band dispersion but without any protection layer. We demonstrate…

Optical absorption spectroscopy and X-ray structural refinements of seven different spinel single crystals on the (Mg 1-x Mn x )Al 2 O 4 solid solution (x = 0.02-1.00) evidences exceptionally strong relaxation (ε = 0.83) of IV Mn 2+ -O bonds. Our single-crystal structure refinements demonstrate that the ideal IV Mn 2+…

Adhesion and delamination behavior of amorphous carbon nitride (a-CN(x)) is critical to development of wear resistant materials and protective coatings. Here, the composition and delamination behavior of a-CN(x) films was explored utilizing BrCN, CH₃CN, and CH₄ as film precursors, either alone or in combination with o…

We have investigated the thermally induced depolarization degree in long-rod cubic crystals of classes 23 and m3 as a function of the heated region and the probe beam radii as well as on crystal orientation. We extended the photoelastic anisotropy parameter and introduced a second anisotropy parameter. Three new speci…
