The incredible thermo-mechanical properties of biological materials arise from the microscopic scale due to a complex hierarchical mechanism, regulated by microinstabilities at the molecular level. The description of such complex structures…
Recent neutron diffraction and NMR studies suggest that the incommensurately modulated spin cycloid structure of BiFeO3 is stable down to 4.2 K, whereas DC [M(T)] and AC [\c{hi} ({\omega}, T)] magnetization, and caloric studies have…
We report on linear and non-linear dielectric property measurements of BaTiO3 - CoFe2O4 (BTO-CFO) ferroelectro-magnetic nano-composites and pure BaTiO3 and CoFe2O4 samples with Scanning Near Field Microwave Microscopy. The permittivity…
While it is well established that elevated temperatures can induce surface roughening of metal surfaces, the effect of a high electric field on the atomic structure at ambient temperature has not been investigated in detail. Here we show…
In this investigation, we have synthesized BiFeO$_{3}$ nanoparticles by varying hydrothermal reaction temperatures from 200 $^{\circ}$C to 120 $^{\circ}$C to assess their visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity along with their…
Conventional racetrack memories move information by pushing magnetic domain walls or other spin textures with spin-polarized currents, but the accompanying Joule heating inflates their energy budget and can hamper scaling. Here we present a…
A power efficient and stable field emission (FE) has been reported here from Nickel Oxide nanostructures. Modification in device geometry and surface micro- (nano-) structure has been found helpful in addressing the bottlenecks in achieving…
The temperature distribution in nanowires due to Joule heating is studied analytically using a continuum model and a Green's function approach. We show that the temperatures reached in nanowires can be much lower than that predicted by bulk…
General approach for consideration of primary ferroic (ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, ferroelastic) nanoparticles phase transitions was proposed in phenomenological theory framework. The surface stress, order parameter gradient, striction as…
The effects of very low temperature on the electron transport in a [110] and [100] axially aligned unstrained silicon nanowires (SiNWs) are investigated. A combination of semi-empirical 10-orbital tight-binding method, density functional…
We present the results of measurements of the dc-magnetic susceptibility chi(T) and the 23Na-NMR response of Na_{0.70}CoO_{2} at temperatures between 50 and 340 K. The chi(T) data suggest that for T > 75 K, the Co ions adopt an effective…
In-plane temperature dependent dielectric behavior of BiFeO3 (BFO) as-grown thin films show diffuse but prominent phase transitions near 450 (+/-10) K and 550 K with dielectric loss temperature dependences that suggest skin layer effects.…
We calculate the realistic sizes of nano-domains recorded by the electric field of atomic force microscope tip in BaTiO3 and LiNbO3 ferroelectric-semiconductors in contrast to the over-estimated ones obtained in the previous works. We…
In view of better characterizing possible quantum effects in the dynamics of nanometric particles, we measure the effect on the relaxation of a slight heating cycle. The effect of the field amplitude is studied; its magnitude is chosen in…
The origin of a high Neel temperature in a 5$d$ oxide, NaOsO$_3$, has been analyzed within the mean-field limit of a multiband Hubbard model and compared with the analogous 4$d$ oxide, SrTcO$_3$. Our analysis shows that there are a lot of…
BiFe1-xCrxO3 (x=0.0, 0.05 and 0.1) nanoparticles are prepared by a combustion method without using any solvent. All the synthesized nanoparticles are single phase in nature, nearly spherical in shape and crystallize in distorted perovskite…
Nickel nanosheets of thickness 0.6 nm were grown within the nanochannels of Na-4 mica template. The specimens show magnetodielectric effect at room temperature with a change of dielectric constant as a function of magnetic field, the…
We propose the thermodynamical theory of nanodomain tailoring with the help of atomic force microscope electric field in thin ferroelectric-semiconductor films. We modified the existing thermodynamical models of domain formation allowing…
This letter reports microwave dielectric measurements performed in the antiferroelectric phase of NaNbO3 ceramics from 100 to 450 K. Remarkable dielectric relaxations were found within the antiferroelectric phase and in the vicinity of…
We performed elastic neutron scattering measurements on the charge- and magnetically-ordered multiferroic material LuFe(2)O(4). An external electric field along the [001] direction with strength up to 20 kV/cm applied at low temperature…
