We briefly discuss our recent field-theoretic study of polyelectrolyte complexation, which occurs in solutions of two oppositely charged polyelectrolytes. Charged systems require theoretical methods beyond the mean-field (or self-consistent field) approximation; indeed, mean-field theory is qualitatively incorrect for…

The effect of intermixing at the interface of short period ${\mathrm{PbTiO}}_{3}∕{\mathrm{SrTiO}}_{3}$ superlattices is studied using first-principles density functional theory. The results indicate that interfacial intermixing significantly enhances the polarization within the superlattice. This enhancement is direct…

We present a detailed numerical simulation study of the effects caused by the magnetodipolar interaction between ferromagnetic (FM) layers of a trilayer magnetic nanoelement on its magnetization dynamics. As an example we use a Co/Cu/Ni80Fe20 element with a square lateral shape where the magnetization of FM layers for…

In order to understand the first stages of the nucleation of carbon nanotubes in catalytic processes, we present a tight-binding Monte Carlo study of the stability and cohesive mechanisms of different carbon structures deposited on nickel (100) surfaces. Depending on the geometry, we obtain contrasted results. On the…

The structural, electronic, and optical properties of 4 A single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) contained inside the zeolite channels have been studied based upon the density-functional theory in the local-density approximation (LDA). Our calculated results indicate that the relaxed geometrical structures for the sma…

The cohesive and elastic properties of the non-oxide perovskite type superconductor MgCNi 3 are calculated using the full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital method with the local density approximation as well as the generalized gradient approximation for exchange and correlation. The calculated equation of state and…

Cells in multicellular organisms adhere to the extracellular matrix through two-dimensional clusters spanning a size range from very few to thousands of adhesion bonds. For many common receptor-ligand systems, the ligands are tethered to a surface via polymeric spacers with finite binding range, thus adhesion cluster…

The study of diffusion and low frequency vibrational motions of particles on metal surfaces is of paramount importance; it provides valuable information on the nature of the adsorbate-substrate and the substrate-substrate interactions. In particular, the experimental broadening observed in the diffusive peak with incr…

The band structure of graphene ribbons with zigzag edges have two valleys well separated in momentum space, related to the two Dirac points of the graphene spectrum. The propagating modes in each valley contain a single chiral mode originating from a partially flat band at the band center. This feature gives rise to a…

While most of crystalline wide gap oxides are both stoichiometric and insulating, a handful of them including ZnO and ${\mathrm{In}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ are naturally anion-deficient and electron conductors. Even fewer of the oxides are naturally cation-deficient and hole conductors, the arch-type of which is ${\math…

It is established that some superplastic materials undergo significant cavitation during deformation. Cavitation not only limits the superplastic ductility of the material, but also reduces the service properties and the fatigue performance of the formed parts. Experimental results have shown that an effective method…

The effects of interfacial states on the temperature dependence of the magnetoresistance (MR) of Sr2FeMoO6-glass composites have been studied. X-ray diffraction analyses show that the glass is most likely located at the grain boundary without causing a change of the crystal structure of Sr2FeMoO6. The variation of the…
