Nanoparticles have become increasingly interesting for a wide range of applications, because in principle it is possible to tailor their properties by controlling size, shape and composition. One of these applications is heterogeneous…
Polymorphism, the ability of a compound to crystallize in multiple distinct structures, plays a vital role in determining the physical, chemical, and functional properties of materials. Accurate identification and prediction of polymorphic…
The multidimensional ($n$-D) systems described by Roesser model are presented in this paper. These $n$-D systems consist of discrete systems and continuous fractional order systems with fractional order $\nu$, $0<\nu<1$. The stability and…
Structure-property relationships in ordered materials have long been a core principle in materials design. However, the intentional introduction of disorder into materials provides structural flexibility and thus access to material…
We report on the observation of rich variety of crystallographic phase formation in RexMo1-xS2 alloy for x < 0.5. For x < 0.23, no low dimensional super-structural modulation is observed and inter-cation hybridization remains discrete…
Array configuration is one of the effective ways to increase the output power of terahertz oscillators using resonant tunneling diodes. Mutual locking between the array elements results in coherent single-spectrum oscillation and a narrow…
The development of a general theoretical framework for describing the behaviour of a crystal driven far from equilibrium has proved difficult1. Microfluidic crystals, formed by the introduction of droplets of immiscible fluid into a…
We recently found that crystallization of monodisperse hard spheres from the bulk fluid faces a much higher free energy barrier in four than in three dimensions at equivalent supersaturation, due to the increased geometrical frustration…
It was shown that anomalous resistivity behavior of the $Cu-Mn-Al$ ribbons is explained by the s-d interaction between conduction electrons and the clustered Mn atoms. While nuclear magnetic resonance measurements show the antiferromagnetic…
The rapid progress in nanofabrication technologies has led to the emergence of new classes of nanodevices and structures. At the atomic scale of novel nanostructured semiconductors the distinction between new device and new material is…
Multicomponent nanoparticles can be synthesized with either homogeneous or phase-segregated architectures depending on the synthesis conditions and elements incorporated. To understand the parameters that determine their structural fate,…
In the following we consider a 2-dimensional system of ODE's containing quasiperiodic terms. The system is proposed as an extension of Mathieu-type equations to higher dimensions, with emphasis on how resonance between the internal…
The hexagonal ZrNiAl-type (space group: P-62m) and the tetragonal Mo2FeB2-type (space group: P4/mbm) structures, which are frequently formed in the same Yb-based alloys and exhibit physical properties related to valence-fluctuation, can be…
We investigate the metal contents of Lyman-alpha clouds at 2.2<z<3.6 with 10^13.5<N(HI)<10^14 cm-2 using high resolution, high S/N spectra of 9 quasars obtained with the 10m Keck I telescope. Using an composite spectrum analysis technique,…
The damped Lyman alpha systems seen in the spectra of high redshift QSOs offer the means to determine element abundances in galaxies observed while still at an early stage of evolution. Such measurements, which have only recently come…
Until recently, it was textbook knowledge that the diffusion coefficients could not be estimated in a multi-component system following the widely practised diffusion couple method. The recently proposed constrained diffusion couple methods…
The different crystal structures of ferromagnetic Ni$_2$MnGa have been calculated using density functional theory (DFT) with special emphasis on the modulated structures 10M and 14M. These are important for understanding the stability of…
When spatial constraint for the constituents (e.g., atom or particle) of system is once given, disordered structure for non-interacting system in equilibrium states is symmetric with respect to equiatomic composition. Meanwhile, when the…
We report results of the observations of 15 regions in several molecular lines for a statistical study of massive cluster-forming clumps. We identified 24 clumps based on the C18O (J=1-0) data obtained by the NRO 45 m telescope, and found…
Two novel three-dimensional (3D) crystal structures of carbon (C) and germanium carbide (GeC2) were predicted using first-principles density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. These newly discovered 3D carbon allotrope and GeC2 are in…
