We point out that Higgs rates into gauge bosons can be significantly modified in composite pseudo Nambu--Goldstone boson (pNGB) Higgs models if quarks belonging to the first two generation are relatively composite objects as well. Although…
The challenge of synthesizing graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with atomic precision is currently being pursued along a one-way road, based on the synthesis of adequate molecular precursors that react in predefined ways through self-assembly…
Advanced manufacturing (AM) technologies, such as nanoscale additive manufacturing process, enable the fabrication of nanoscale architected materials which has received great attention due to their prominent properties. However, few studies…
Gravitational waves from the collision of binary neutron stars provide a unique opportunity to study the behaviour of supranuclear matter, the fundamental properties of gravity, and the cosmic history of our Universe. However, given the…
Shallow nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are promising quantum sensors but suffer from noise-induced short coherence times due to bulk and surface impurities. We present interfacial engineering via oxygen termination and graphene…
Nanostructures have the immense potential to supplant the traditional metallic structure as they show enhanced mechanical properties through strain hardening. In this paper, the effect of grain size on the hardening mechanism of Al-Cu…
High velocity impact between crystalline surfaces is important for a range of material phenomena, yet a fundamental understanding of the effect of surface structure, energetics and kinetics on the underlying thermo-mechanical response…
Slip activation, slip band interactions, and GND densities in iron-base, galling resistant alloy Nitronic 60 have been characterised at the grain length scale using small-scale mechanical testing with high resolution digital image…
Developing materials that can withstand the intense environments of nuclear fusion reactors is critical in developing long-term commercial viability for energy production. Tungsten is the primary candidate as a plasma facing material due to…
We analytically calculate the nuclear-spin interactions of a single electron confined to a carbon nanotube or graphene quantum dot. While the conduction-band states in graphene are p-type, the accordant states in a carbon nanotube are…
We explore the roles of electronic band structure and Coulomb interactions in solid-state HHG by studying the optical response of linear atomic chains and carbon nanotubes to intense ultrashort pulses. Specifically, we simulate electron…
A survey is presented of the work done so far to check earlier claims that a fine structure may be observed to occur under certain circumstances in the impurity spectral range of the optical absorption spectra of silver halides following…
A promising path to realizing higher superconducting transition temperatures $T_c$ is the strategic engineering of artificial heterostructures. For example, quantum materials could, in principle, be coupled with other materials to produce a…
The rapid development of fabrication of functional high-quality graphene-like nanoribbons has increasingly reliant on integration of diverse nanofabrication platforms. The demand for innovative techniques to enable the exploration and…
It is expected that atomic vacancies or nanometric cavities reduce the number of chemical bonds of nearby atoms and hence the strength of a voided solid. However, the hardness of a porous specimen does not always follow this simple picture…
Quantum mechanics (QM) and General relativity (GR), also known as the theory of gravity, are the two pillars of modern physics. A matter-wave interferometer with a massive particle can test numerous fundamental ideas, including the spatial…
The resistance to failure through tearing is a crucial mechanical property for the application of different elastomers. In this work, graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were introduced into a fluoroelastomer (FKM) matrix with the aim of…
Motivated by the recent experimental progress in exploring the use of a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond as a quantum computing platform, we propose schemes for fast and high-fidelity entangling gates on this platform. Using both…
We suggest to explore an entirely new method to experimentally and theoretically study the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter based on the triple nuclear collisions (TNC). We simulated the TNC using the UrQMD 3.4 model at the beam…
The recently proposed term "heterostructured (HS) materials" serves as an umbrella classification encompassing a wide range of materials that hold great promise for enhanced mechanical properties. Most HS materials exhibit back-stress…
