The electronic structures, magnetism, and half-metallicity of half-Heusler alloys XYZ (X = Mn, Ni; Y = Cr, Mn; Z = As, Sb) are investigated by means of the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the generalized gradient approximation. We consider three types of atomic ordering (i.e., α, β, and γ…

The IR and Raman spectra of the Fe(3)Al(2)Si(3)O(12) almandine garnet were simulated using the periodic CRYSTAL code with an all-electron Gaussian-type basis set and the hybrid B3LYP functional. The wavenumbers of the 25 Raman-active modes (3 of A(1g), 8 of E(g), and 14 of F(2g) symmetry) and 34 F(1u) IR-active modes…

The transport and noise properties of ${\text{Pr}}_{0.7}{\text{Ca}}_{0.3}{\text{MnO}}_{3}$ epitaxial thin films in the temperature range from room temperature to 160 K are reported. It is shown that both the broadband $1/f$ noise properties and the dependence of resistance on electric field are consistent with the ide…

The power-law dependence of strength on strain rate provides a measure of the strain-rate sensitivity. In general, strength increases as grain size decreases from the microscale into the nanoscale regime for many cubic metals. The method of microscratch testing is used to measure microhardness in order to evaluate mat…

Brownian molecular dynamic simulations are applied on the self-assembly behavior of AB-type diblock copolymers. The influence of chain conformation of core-forming A-block changing from rigid to flexible on the aggregation structure formed by AB copolymers is investigated. It is found that at a high rigid fraction f(R…

LiCu(2)P(2) and LiFeP have been synthesized by conventional solid-state reaction. LiCu(2)P(2) has a crystal structure similar to that of BaFe(2)As(2); LiFeP has the same crystal structure as that of LiFeAs. Resistivity and magnetization measurements reveal that they become superconductive at 3.5 K for LiCu(2)P(2) and…

A new method allowing the (14)C-labeling of carboxylic acid functions of carbon nanotubes is described. The key step of the labeling process is a decarbonylation reaction that has been developed and optimized with the help of a screening method. The optimized process has been successfully applied to multiwalled carbon…

We report novel magnetoelectric properties of a quantum-spin helimagnet Ba2CuGe2O7 with a noncentrosymmetric (but nonpolar) crystal structure. It was found that the spin helicity of the cycloidal spin order is always fixed to the lattice, therefore the magnetic propagation vector k determines the sign of electric pola…
