Abstract Motivated by numerous recent reports indicating attractive properties of composite materials of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and liquid crystals (LCs) and a lack of research aimed at optimizing such composites, the process of dispersing CNTs in thermotropic LCs is systematically studied. LC hosts can perform compa…
We show that nonrelativistic exchange interactions and spin fluctuations can give rise to a linear magnetoelectric effect in collinear antiferromagnets at elevated temperatures that can exceed relativistic magnetoelectric responses by more than 1 order of magnitude. We show how symmetry arguments, ab initio methods, a…
We report the synthesis and characterization of a series of multiblock thermoplastic polyurethane hydrogels synthesized with PEG as the soft segment and incorporating an isobutyl-functionalized POSS diol (TMP POSS diol) in the hard segment. The molecular weight of PEG was systematically varied to include 10, 20, and 3…
Conjugated polymers derived from thiophene or 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene derivatives have been widely investigated for use in organic thin-film transistors and organic photovoltaic devices. We describe here the synthesis of a series of conjugated microporous polymers formed by reaction of spiro-bis(2,5-dibromopropylen…
The characteristics of intrinsic defects are important for the understanding of self-diffusion processes, mechanical strength, brittleness, and plasticity of tungsten carbide, which present in the divertor of fusion reactors. Here, we use first-principles calculations to investigate the stability of point defects and…
A spin projection scheme is presented which allows the decomposition of the electric conductivity into two different spin channels within fully relativistic $ab$ $initio$ transport calculations that account for the impact of spin-orbit coupling. This is demonstrated by calculations of the spin-resolved conductivity of…
We demonstrate that freeing a single-atom thick layer of hexagonal boron nitride ($h$-BN) from tight chemical bonding to a Ni(111) thin film grown on a W(110) substrate can be achieved by intercalation of Au atoms into the interface. This process has been systematically investigated using angle-resolved photoemission…
We employ a dual-gated geometry to control the band gap $\ensuremath{\Delta}$ in bilayer graphene and study the temperature dependence of the resistance at the charge neutrality point, ${R}_{\text{NP}}(T)$, from 220 to 1.5 K. Above 5 K, ${R}_{\text{NP}}(T)$ is dominated by two thermally activated processes in differen…
We report on the crystal structure of the quantum magnet (CuCl)LaNb2O7 that was controversially described with respect to its structural organization and magnetic behavior. Using high-resolution synchrotron powder x-ray diffraction, electron diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and band structure calculation…
XPS, TEM, and reaction studies were used to examine the catalytic behavior of gold species deposited on lanthana toward the cross-coupling of phenylacetylene and iodobenzene. Atomically dispersed Au(I) and Au(III) were catalytically inert, whereas metallic Au(0) nanoparticles were both active and very selective. Thus…
Niobium-based Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) cavity performance is sensitive to localized defects that give rise to quenches at high accelerating gradients. In order to identify these material defects on bulk Nb surfaces at their operating frequency and temperature, it is important to develop a new kind of wide…
Electrical resistivity, specific-heat, and NMR measurements classify noncentrosymmetric ${\text{Mo}}_{3}{\text{Al}}_{2}\text{C}$ ($\ensuremath{\beta}\text{-Mn}$ type, space group $P{4}_{1}32$) as a strong-coupled superconductor with ${T}_{c}=9\text{ }\text{K}$ deviating notably from BCS-type behavior. The absence of a…
We study the optical spectra and electromagnetic field enhancements around cylindrical and triangular Ag nanowire dimers, allowing for a spatially nonlocal dielectric function that partially accounts for quantum mechanical effects. For the triangular structures, we pay particular attention to how these properties depe…
We report on the exchange biasing of self-assembled ferromagnetic GeMn nanocolumns by GeMn-oxide caps. The x-ray absorption spectroscopy analysis of this surface oxide shows a multiplet fine structure that is typical of the Mn2+ valence state in MnO. A magnetization hysteresis shift |HE|~100 Oe and a coercivity enhanc…
ZnO nanoparticles (NP) of size less than around 20 nm inside a chamber exhibits complete reduction in their visible photoluminescence (PL) intensity when partial pressure of oxygen in the surrounding gaseous environment is decreased by evacuation. However the visible PL from ZnO nanoparticles are insensitive to the ga…

We show that silicon nitride can provide uniform coverage of graphene in field-effect transistors while preserving the channel mobility. This insulator allowed us to study the maximum channel resistance at the Dirac (neutrality) point as a function of the strength of a perpendicular electric field in top-gated devices…
Abstract NaCaPO 4 :Ce 3+ ,Tb 3+ phosphors were prepared by a solid‐state reaction. Their luminescence properties reveal that an efficient energy transfer from the Ce 3+ to Tb 3+ ions occurs, and its mechanism is a resonant type by means of a dipole–quadrupole reaction. The critical distance of the energy transfer has…
Particular strain geometry in graphene could lead to a uniform pseudomagnetic field of order 10T and might open up interesting applications in graphene nanoelectronics. Through quantum transport calculations of realistic strained graphene flakes of sizes of 100 nm, we examine possible means of exploiting this effect f…
Treatment of 1-amino-1,2,3-triazole with sodium dichloroisocyanurate led to isolation of 1,1'-azobis-1,2,3-triazole, which was well characterized. Its structure was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis, and its thermal stability and photochromic properties were investigated.
