The adsorption of alkali metals (AMs) on single layer graphene is studied using first principles methods. We observe a common trend in the binding distance, the charge transfer, and the work function $(W)$ at certain coverage of AMs with increase in the proportion $\ensuremath{\rho}$ (adatom/C atom) of the graphene co…

A new physical mechanism or mode of plastic deformation in nanocrystalline metals and ceramics is suggested and theoretically described. The mode represents the cooperative grain boundary (GB) sliding and stress-driven GB migration process. It is theoretically revealed that the new deformation mode is more energetical…

We theoretically investigate the time-dependent ballistic transport in metallic graphene nanoribbons of width $W$ after the sudden switching of a bias voltage. The potential drop is linear across a central part of length $L$ where the current is calculated. During the early transient time the current does not grow lin…

For the first time, N-(2-hydroxyl) propyl-3-trimethyl ammonium chitosan chloride (HTCC) was prepared through a fast, easy and efficient method with the assistance of microwave irradiation, and the quaternized chitosan was also degraded via the microwave irradiation. A comparative study was performed by using the conve…

We report on (magneto)transport experiments in chemically derived narrow graphene nanoribbons under high magnetic fields (up to 60 T). Evidences of field-dependent electronic confinement are given and allow estimating the possible ribbon edge symmetry. A large positive magnetoconductance indicates a strong suppression…

Single crystals of $\text{Ba}{({\text{Fe}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\text{Ru}}_{x})}_{2}{\text{As}}_{2}$, $x<0.37$, have been grown and characterized by structural, magnetic, and transport measurements. These measurements show that the structural/magnetic phase transition found in pure ${\text{BaFe}}_{2}{\text{As}}_{2}$ at…

Numerous publications have examined the chemical and physical aspects of tributyl phosphate (TBP), TBP/nitric acid, and TBP/diluent/nitric acid systems, but there are some discrepancies within the available data. There is also a lack of data on the physical properties of TBP at temperatures above 60°C. A review of mor…

Superconducting terahertz (THz) metamaterial (MM) made from niobium (Nb) film has been investigated using a continuous-wave THz spectroscopy. The quality factors of the resonance modes at 0.132 THz and 0.418 THz can be remarkably increased when the working temperature is below the superconducting transition temperatur…

Dissipative particle dynamics simulations were performed to study the microstructures of doxorubicin (DOX) loaded/blank micelles self-assembled from cholesterol conjugated His 10 Arg 10 (HR20-Chol) at different pH conditions. DOX molecules can be efficiently encapsulated in the core of micelles. At pH > 6.0, these mic…

Using first-principles calculations, we analyze structural and magnetic trends as a function of charge doping and pressure in ${\text{BaFe}}_{2}{\text{As}}_{2}$, and compare to experimentally established facts. We find that density-functional theory, while accurately reproducing the structural and magnetic ordering at…

Significant reduction in target strength and radiation signature can be achieved by surrounding an object with multiple concentric layers comprised of three acoustic fluids. The idea is to make a finely layered shell with the thickness of each layer defined by a unique transformation rule. The shell has the effect of…

Synchrotron x-ray total scattering studies of structural changes in rutile VO2 at the metal-insulator transition temperature of 340 K reveal that monoclinic and tetragonal phases of VO2 coexist in equilibrium, as expected for a first-order phase transition. No evidence for any distinct intermediate phase is seen. Unbi…

We analyse an array of linearly extended monodomain dipoles forming square and kagome lattices. We find that its phase diagram contains two (distinct) finite-entropy kagome ice regimes - one disordered, one algebraic - as well as a low-temperature ordered phase. In the limit of the islands almost touching, we find a s…

G. Cocco, E. Cadelano, and L. Colombo [Phys. Rev. B 81, 241412(R) (2010)] have suggested that combinations of shear and uniaxial strain can be used to open a band gap in graphene at much lower levels of strain than with the application of unaxial strain alone. They employed a unit cell of graphene in their studies and…
