Origin of shifts in the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) frequency for noble metal (Au, Ag) nanoclusters are discussed in this book chapter. Spill out of electron from the Fermi surface is considered as the origin of red shift. On the other…
We present a microscopic model for nanoparticles, of the maghemite ($\gamma $% -Fe$_{2}$O$_{3}$) type, and perform classical Monte Carlo simulations of their magnetic properties. On account of M\"{o}ssbauer spectroscopy and high-field…
Electrochemical oxidation of hematite ({\alpha}-Fe2O3) nano-particulate films at 600 mV vs. Ag+/AgCl reference in KOH electrolyte forms a species at the hematite surface which causes a new transition in the upper Hubbard band between the…

We have studied the magnetic behavior of dextran-coated magnetite (Fe$_3$O$_4$) nanoparticles with median particle size $\left<d\right>=8$ $nm$. Magnetization curves and in-field M\"ossbauer spectroscopy measurements showed that the…
A comment on the paper Appl. Phys. Lett. 104, 161116 (2014).
An unusual Fe-H bonding rather than conventional OH bonding is identified at Fe3O4 (001) surface. This abnormal behavior is associated with the oxygen vacancies which exist on the surface region but also penetrate deep into the bulk Fe3O4.…
We address two basic issues in the theory of galaxy formation from fluctuations of quantum fields: 1) the nature and origin of noise and fluctuations and 2) the conditions for using a classical stochastic equation for their description. On…
We present a theory for surface polaritons on ferroelectric-antiferromagnetic materials with canted spin structure. Canting is assumed to be due to a Dzyaloshinkii-Moriya interaction with the electric polarisation and weak ferromagnetism…
This paper analyzes how the ferroelectric properties of cubic-like BiFeO$_3$ nanoparticles are affected by different terminations and charge distributions at the surface using ab-initio-based atomistic computational experiments. Our…
Surprisingly low solubility and toxicity of Fe-doped ZnO nanoparticles is elucidated on the basis of first-principles calculations. Various ZnO surfaces that could be present in nanoparticles are subject to substitutional Fe doping. We show…
Comment on the paper by K. E. Nagaev, S. V. Remizov, D. S. Shapiro, Noise in the helical edge channel anisotropically coupled to a local spin, JETP Lett. 108, 664 (2018).
Room-temperature ferromagnetism has been observed in the nanoparticles (7 - 30 nm dia) of nonmagnetic oxides such as CeO2, Al2O3, ZnO, In2O3 and SnO2. The saturated magnetic moments in CeO_2 and Al_2O_3 nanoparticles are comparable to those…

Surface waves on a metal nanosphere are described in terms of quantum electrodynamics. The interaction of surface waves with a quantum oscillator is discussed in the dipole approximation. The increase in the spontaneous emission rate of the…
Morphology, structure and magnetic properties of nanocomposites of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles and alginic acid (AA) are studied. Magnetite Fe3O4 nanoparticles and the nanoparticles capped with alginic acid exhibit very distinct…
I reply to A. Mitra's comment on my PRL paper "Bare quark matter surfaces of strange stars and $e^+e^-$ emission". I show that his points of criticism are not correct.
This is the reply to the comment by I. S. Burmistrov, P. D. Kurilovich, and V. D. Kurilovich [arXiv:1903.047241] on our paper "Noise in the helical edge channel anisotropically coupled to a local spin" [JETP Lett. 108, 664 (2018),…
For the metallic nanoparticles, smaller than the free electron path, an impact of the particle's surface on the nonlocal effects emerging is shown. Light-induced current inside the particle begins to depend on the spatial derivatives of the…
It is argued that there are three `origins' of cosmic rays; the origin of the particles, the origin of the energy, and the site of the acceleration. The evidence for each origin is discussed and a plausible synthesis outlined for the…
