Nanodiamond reinforced silver matrix nanocomposites with different nanodiamond content are produced from pure silver and nanodiamond powders by a combination of two severe plastic deformation methods, ball-milling and high-pressure torsion…
High-harmonic generation (HHG) in solids has typically been explored in transparent dielectrics and semiconductors. Metals have long been dismissed due to their strong reflectivity at infrared wavelengths. Here, we demonstrate HHG from…
Here we develop a class off face centred cubic structure of metallic silver nanocrystals, to enable high ORR activity process. Silver nanoparticles deposited within different carbon supports: carboxylated-graphene, SiO2-doted reduced-…
Recent research on silver nanowires prepared on DNA templates has focused on two fundamental applications: nano-scale circuits and sensors. Despite its broad potential, the formation kinetics of DNA-templated silver nanowires remains…
Nuclear spins in the solid state environment of diamond are highly coherent, but difficult to rapidly control due to the small nuclear gyromagnetic ratio. Here we demonstrate a more than 50-fold enhancement of the effective nuclear…
Nanocrystals, used as building blocks, may self-assemble in long-range ordered assemblies socalled supracrystals. Different structures FCC, BCC but also Frank-Kasper phases have been observed and the roles of the soft ligands surrounding…
The interaction of crystalline defects leads to strain hardening in bulk metals. Metals with high stacking fault energy (SFE), such as aluminum, tend to have low strain hardening rates due to an inability to form stacking faults and…
Obtaining a robust superconducting state in atomically precise nanographene (NG) structures by proximity to a superconductor could foster the discovery of topological superconductivity in graphene. On-surface synthesis of such NGs has been…
In this paper, we investigate, by molecular dynamics simulations, the mechanical properties of a new carbon nanostructure, termed graphene nanochain, constructed by sewing up pristine or twisted graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) and interlocking…
The structural evolution and dynamics of silver nanodrops Ag${}_{2896}$ (4.4 nm in diameter) during rapid cooling conditions has been studied by means of molecular dynamics simulations and electronic density of state calculations. The…
We introduce a computational approach to estimate the hardness and stiffness of diamond surfaces and nanoparticles by studying their elastic response to atomic nanoindentation. Results of our ab initio density functional calculations…
The properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are affected by various parameters, making optimisation of their synthesis a laborious task. This optimisation is facilitated in this work by concurrent use of a T-junction microfluidic system…
Nuclear spins in solids exhibit long coherence times due to the small nuclear gyromagnetic ratio. This weak environmental coupling comes at the expense of slow quantum gate operations, which should be as fast as possible for many…
Thanks to the spontaneous interaction between noble metals and biological scaffolds, nanomaterials with unique features can be achieved following relatively straightforward and cost-efficient synthetic procedures. Here, plasmonic silver…
Graphene on noble-metal nanostructures constitutes an attractive nanocomposite with possible applications in sensors or energy conversion. In this work we study the properties of hybrid graphene/gold nanoparticle structures by Raman…
Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) physisorbed on a Au(111) surface can be picked up, lifted at one end, and made slide by means of the tip of an atomic-force microscope. The dynamical transition from smooth sliding to multiple stick-slip regimes,…
The effective dispersion of Graphene Nanosheet (GNS) as reinforcement was studied with various morphology of Copper (Cu) powder as matrix. High energy milling was used for modifying the morphology of the Cu powders. The Cu powder with…
Graphene covered metal nanoparticles constitute a novel type of hybrid materials, which provide a unique platform to study plasmonic effects, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and metal-graphene interactions at the nanoscale. Such a…
Enhancing the fracture toughness of diamond while preserving its hardness is a significant challenge. Traditional toughening strategies have primarily focused on modulating the internal microstructural units of diamonds, including…
We construct composite and partially composite Higgs models with complex pseudo-Nambu--Goldstone (pNGB) dark matter states from four-dimensional gauge-Yukawa theories with strongly interacting fermions. The fermions are partially gauged…
