We present experimental and theoretical results on an acoustic metamaterial that exhibits negative effective modulus in a frequency range from 0 to 450 Hz. One-dimensional acoustic metamaterial with an array of side holes on a tube was fabricated. We observed that acoustic waves above 450 Hz propagated well in this st…
We raise the possibility that the chiral degeneracy of the magnons in ultrathin films can be lifted due to the presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions. By using simple symmetry arguments, we discuss under which conditions such a chiral asymmetry occurs. We then perform relativistic first principles calculations…
In this paper we present an analysis of the magnetic toroidal moment and its relation to the various structural modes in R3c-distorted perovskites with magnetic cations on either the perovskite A or B site. We evaluate the toroidal moment in the limit of localized magnetic moments and show that the full magnetic symme…
We report theoretical and experimental results for a new type of homogenized acoustic metamaterials with negative effective mass density. We constructed one-dimensional metamaterial, which is a tube with an array of very thin elastic membranes placed inside. This structure exhibited negative effective density in the f…
Features of rheological laws applied to solid-like granular materials are recalled and confronted to microscopic approaches via discrete numerical simulations. We give examples of model systems with very similar equilibrium stress transport properties -- the much-studied force chains and force distribution -- but qual…
Although density functional theory provides reliable predictions for the static properties of simple fluids under confinement, a theory of comparative accuracy for the transport coefficients has yet to emerge. Nonetheless, there is evidence that knowledge of how confinement modifies static behavior can aid in forecast…
A topological modulation of magnetic thin films can induce a magnetic anisotropy of magnetostatic origin. In this letter, we report on the magnetic properties of NiFe layers deposited on wavy shaped Si substrates. Without any modulation, our films always present an intrinsic anisotropy. We show unambiguously that patt…
Zeolite channels can be used as effective hydrocarbon traps. Earlier experiments (Czaplewski {\sl et al.}, 2002) show that the presence of large aromatic molecules (toluene) block the diffusion of light hydrocarbon molecules (propane) inside the narrow pore of a zeolite sample. As a result, the desorption temperature…
The magnetism in 12.5% and 25% Mn delta-doped cubic GaN has been investigated using the density-functional theory calculations. The results show that the single-layer delta-doping and half-delta-doping structures show robust ground state half-metallic ferromagnetism (HMF), and the double-layer delta-doping structure s…
We have studied the electronic structure of graphene deposited on a SiO2 surface using density functional methods. The band structure of the graphene monolayer strongly depends on surface characteristics of the underlying SiO2 surface; for an oxygen-terminated surface, the monolayer exhibits a finite energy band gap w…
We show that the optical constants of graphene in the visible range can be estimated by means of a very simple procedure involving their consistence with universal optical conductivity and experimentally measured optical spectra, within the framework of Fresnel coefficients calculation. The obtained complex refractive…
Colloidal core/shell nanocrystals contain at least two semiconductor materials in an onionlike structure. The possibility to tune the basic optical properties of the core nanocrystals, for example, their fluorescence wavelength, quantum yield, and lifetime, by growing an epitaxial-type shell of another semiconductor h…
The type II clathrate Na22Si136 is prepared by the thermal decomposition of NaSi. Thermal analysis indicates this phase is metastable yet has a relatively high decomposition temperature. Rietveld analysis indicates that Na in the larger Si28 cage is shifted off-center, analogous to observations in some type I clathrat…
Metal/semiconductor superlattices have the potential for a high thermoelectric figure of merit. The thermopower of these structures can be enhanced by controlling the barrier height using high-energy electron filtering. In addition, phonon scattering at interfaces can reduce the lattice contribution to the thermal con…
Nonequilibrium electron distribution in a superlattice subjected to a homogeneous electric field (biased superlattice with equipopulated levels) is studied within the tight-binding approximation, taking into account the scattering by optical and acoustic phonons and by lateral disorder. It is found that the distributi…
We show that stable localized topological soliton textures (skyrmions) with $π_2$ topological charge $ν\geq 1$ exist in a classical 2D Heisenberg model of a ferromagnet with uniaxial anisotropy. For this model the soliton exist only if the number of bound magnons exceeds some threshold value $N_{\rm cr}$ depending on…
We study the shapes of elastic membranes under the simultaneous exertion of tensile and compressive forces when the translational symmetry along the tension direction is broken. We predict a multitude of novel morphological phases in various regimes of a 2-dimensional parameter space $(ε,ν)$ that defines the relevant…
In effective single-electron theories, self-interaction manifests itself through the unphysical dependence of the energy of an electronic state as a function of its occupation, which results in important deviations from the ideal Koopmans trend and strongly affects the accuracy of electronic-structure predictions. Her…
Magnetic configurations in heterostructures are often difficult to probe when the magnetic entities are buried inside. In this study we have captured magnetic and magnetoresistance "fingerprints" of Co nanodiscs embedded in Co/Cu multilayered nanowires using a first-order reversal curve method. In 200nm diameter nanow…
A self-focusing of a coasting relativistic beam in a plasma channel that is confined by an external magnetic field is studied as a means of reconditioning the beam emerging from a beam injector [a radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ)] for a linac. A detailed study of the beam stability in the self-focused beam has been ca…
