Atomic layer deposition (ALD) and electrodeposition are combined with a porous template to create ordered arrays of nanowires in which a nickel core and an iron oxide shell are separated by a silica spacer layer. The switching of each magnetic component is distinct and occurs at a field that depends on the tunable thi…
We have characterized the dynamics of the polar nanoregions in $\text{Pb}({\text{Mg}}_{1/3}{\text{Nb}}_{2/3}){\text{O}}_{3}$ through high-resolution neutron-backscattering and spin-echo measurements of the diffuse-scattering cross section. We find that the diffuse-scattering intensity consists of both static and dynam…
We have used oxygen ions irradiation to generate controlled structural disorder in thin manganite films. Conductive atomic force microscopy (CAFM) and transport and magnetic measurements were performed to analyze the influence of the implantation process in the physical properties of the films. CAFM images show region…
We report measurements of magnetoresistance in single-layer graphene as a function of gate voltage (carrier density) at 250 mK. By examining signatures of weak localization (WL) and universal conductance fluctuations (UCF), we find a consistent picture of phase coherence loss due to electron-electron interactions. The…
A model describing the evolution of a binary mixture of compressible, viscous, and macroscopically immiscible fluids is investigated. The existence of global-in-time weak solutions for the resulting system coupling the compressible Navier–Stokes equations governing the motion of the mixture with the Allen–Cahn equatio…
There is an increasing interest in the utilization of renewable resources for the production of food packaging. Among the biopolymers, starches from several sources have been considered as one of the most promising material for this purpose, and the reasons for this are that starches are biodegradable, are inexpensive…
An extension of the Liga algorithm for structure solution from atomic pair distribution functions (PDFs), to handle periodic crystal structures with multiple elements in the unit cell, is described. The procedure is performed in three separate steps. First, pair distances are extracted from the experimental PDF. In th…
We study theoretically the electromagnon and its optical spectrum (OS) of the terahertz-frequency regime in the magnetic-spiral-induced multiferroic phases of the rare-earth-metal (R) Mn perovskites, RMnO3, taking into account the spin-angle modulation or the higher harmonics of the spiral spin configuration, which ha…
Phonon softening phenomena of the $Γ$ point optical modes including the longitudinal optical mode, transverse optical mode and radial breathing mode in "metallic" single wall carbon nanotubes are reviewed from a theoretical point of view. The effect of the curvature-induced mini-energy gap on the phonon softening whic…
The vibrational and structural properties of a single-domain Si(001)-(2x1) surface upon ethylene adsorption have been studied by density functional cluster calculations and high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy. The detailed analysis of the theoretically and the experimentally determined vibrational freque…
A generic theory of the quasi-particle superconducting gap in underdoped cuprates is derived in the strong coupling limit, and found to describe extremely well the experimental "second gap" in \textit{absolute scale}. In drastic contrast to the standard theories of Bogoliubov quasi-particle excitations, the quasi-part…
Using tunneling spectroscopy we have measured the spectral density of states of the mobile, two-dimensional electron system generated at the ${\text{LaAlO}}_{3}{\text{-SrTiO}}_{3}$ interface. As shown by the density of states the interface electron system differs qualitatively, first, from the electron systems of the…
A major challenge for the next generation of spintronics devices is the implementation of ferromagnetic-semiconductor thin films as spin injectors and detectors. Spin-polarised carrier injection cannot be accomplished efficiently from metals, and coupled with the rarity of intrinsic ferromagnetic semiconductors this h…

Combining a wide range of protein adsorption experiments (three globular proteins on eight well-defined homogeneous surfaces) with Monte Carlo simulations of lattice proteins at different concentrations and on surfaces of varying "polarity", we explore the extent and rheological behavior of adsorbed proteins as a func…
Electronic properties of two-dimensional allotropes of carbon, such as graphene and its bilayer, multi-layer epitaxial graphene, few-layer Bernal-stacked graphene, as well as of three-dimensional bulk graphite are reviewed from the viewpoint of recent optical spectroscopy studies. Attention is focused on relativistic-…
Spherical nanoparticles of surfactant-coated CoFe 2 O 4 (core) were prepared through thermal decomposition of metal acetylacetonates in the presence of a mixture of oleic acid and oleylamine and uniformly coated with silica shell by using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and ammonia in a micellar solution (core/shell).…
Topological defects in thin films coating a deformed substrate interact with the underlying curvature. This coupling mechanism influences the shape of biological structures and provides a new strategy for the design of interfaces with prescribed functionality. In this article, a mathematical formalism based on the met…
Cancer has become one of the most difficult health challenges of our time, accounting for millions of deaths yearly. Systemic chemotherapy is the most common therapeutic approach; however, considerable limitations exist including toxicities to healthy tissues and low achievable drug concentrations at tumor sites. More…
Grain boundaries are topological defects that often have a disordered character. Disorder implies that understanding general trends is more important than accurate investigations of individual grain boundaries. Here we present trends in the grain boundaries of graphene. We use density-functional tight-binding method t…
