We present the results of transmittance experiments on GdMnO3 multiferroic manganite in the far infrared frequency range. The spectra allow to obtain the positions and the intensity of the high frequency electromagnon (~ 75 cm-1) in this compound. We present the comparative analysis of the high and low frequency elect…

We investigate the propagation and scattering of highly nonlinear waves in disordered granular chains composed of diatomic (two-mass) units of spheres that interact via Hertzian contact. Using ideas from statistical mechanics, we consider each diatomic unit to be a "spin," so that a granular chain can be viewed as a s…

We demonstrated a new nanoassembly strategy based on capillary force-induced cohesion of high-aspect ratio nanostructures made by electron-beam lithography. Using this strategy, ordered complex pattern were fabricated from individual nanostructures at the 10 nm length scale. This method enables the formation of comple…

Application of “green chemistry” concept to synthesize nanomaterials is the current goal in developing new techniques for producing materials in commercial scale. In this study, we reported a low-cost and convenient method for synthesizing high-quality NaYF4 :Yb,Er(Tm) nanocrystals (NCs) in liquid paraffin. Experiment…

We consider geometric constraints for the addition of carbon atoms to the rim of a growing nanotube. The growth of a tube proceeds through the conversion of dangling bonds from armchair to zigzag and vice versa. We find that the growth rate depends on the rim structure (chirality), the energy barriers for dangling-bon…

The inhibition of the corrosion of mild steel in 1 M HCl and 1 M H2SO4 by Spirulina platensis has been studied at different temperatures viz., 303 K, 313 K and 323 K by weight loss method, potentiodynamic polarization method, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements and SEM analysis. The inhibition efficien…

The collective behavior of spins in a dilute magnetic semiconductor is determined by their mutual interactions and influenced by the underlying crystal structure. Hence, we begin with the atomic quantum-mechanical description of this system using the proposed variational-perturbation calculus and then turn to the emer…

The effect of physical aging of semi-conducting polypyrrole at ambient temperature for two years duration on the dielectric loss at various pressures is investigated. Changes of the dielectric loss spectra and the modification of the values of the activation volume for relaxation are interpreted through the division o…

Crystal nucleation and growth processes induced by an externally applied shear strain in a model metallic glass are studied by means of nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, in a range of temperatures. We observe that the nucleation-growth process takes place after a transient, induction regime. The critical…

Graphene/TiO2 nanocrystals hybrid is successfully prepared by directly growing TiO2 nanocrystals on graphene oxide (GO) sheets. The direct growth of nanocrystals on GO sheets was achieved by a two-step method, in which TiO2 was coated on GO sheets by hydrolysis first and crystallized into anatase nanocrystals by hydro…

Quasiparticle excitation energies and optical properties of ${\text{TiO}}_{2}$ in the rutile and anatase structures are calculated using many-body perturbation-theory methods. Calculations are performed for a frozen crystal lattice; electron-phonon coupling is not explicitly considered. In the GW method, several appro…

We examine the crystallization dynamics of nanoparticles reversibly tethered by DNA hybridization. We show that the crystallization happens readily only in a narrow temperature "slot," and always proceeds via a two-step process, mediated by a highly-connected amorphous intermediate. For lower temperature quenches, the…

Graphene is a unique type of semiconductor with zero band gap and zero effective masses of charge carriers. Thus, in graphene quantum dots, we expect many interesting phenomena that are different from those in quantum dots of any other semiconductors. In addition, carbon is an element unique in chemistry and in our so…

High-temperature superconductivity often emerges in the proximity of a symmetry-breaking ground state. For superconducting iron arsenides, in addition to the antiferromagnetic ground state, a small structural distortion breaks the crystal's C(4 )rotational symmetry in the underdoped part of the phase diagram. We revea…
