We suggest that the observed large annihilation rates of ortho-positronium ($o$-Ps) in halogen gases are due to the process of dissociative Ps attachment, ${\rm Ps} + X_2 \to {\rm Ps}X + X$, where $X$ stands for a halogen atom. This process…
In graphene based materials, the energy storage capacity is usually improved by rich porous structures with extremely high surface area. By utilizing surface corrugations, this work shows an alternative strategy to activate graphene…
Using methods of statistical kinetic theory parametrized with first-principles interatomic interactions that include chemical and strain contributions, we investigated the kinetics of decomposition and microstructure formation in Al-Cu…
A zone-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ZPS) has enabled us to gain the local and quantitative information and hence confirm our theoretical expectations on the bonding and electronic dynamics at graphite skin with and without atomic…
Superconductivity with transition temperature $T_c=1.7$ K has been reported in bilayer graphene [1,2]. The main factors, which may shed light on the mechanism of the formation of this superconductivity, are the following. Superconductivity…
We investigate the surface plasmonic lattice solitons (PLSs) in semi-infinite graphene sheet arrays. The surface soliton is formed as the SPPs tunneling is inhibited by the graphene nonlinearity, and meanwhile the incident power should be…
The resonant photoproduction of ultrarelativistic electron-positron pairs (PPP) in a nuclear field and a weak laser field is theoretically studied. Under resonance conditions, the intermediate virtual electron (positron) in the laser field…
Second-harmonic generation (SHG) is a powerful surface-specific probe for centrosymmetric materials, with broad relevance to energy and biological interfaces. Plasmonic nanomaterials have been extensively utilized to amplify this nonlinear…
Formation of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS or ripples) was studied on a metallic surface of polished copper by using irradiation with multiple femtosecond laser pulses in different environmental conditions (air, water,…
The possibility of QGP formation in central pp collisions at ultra-high collision energy is discussed. Centrality-dependent $\pt$-spectra and (pseudo)rapidity spectra of thermal photons (charged hadrons) from pp collisions at 7 TeV are…
Positronium (Ps) reaction rates (k) with weak Acceptors (Ac) leading to the formation of Ps-Ac Complexes show several intriguing features: non-monotonic temperature dependence of k (departing from the usual Arrhenius paradigm), considerable…
A new type of plasmarons formed by the compound of photoelectrons and acoustic surface plasmon excitations is investigated in the system p(2x2)-K/Graphite. The physics behind these types of plasmarons, e-plasmarons, is different from the…
We present a formalism and numerical results for the energy loss of a charged particle scattered at an arbitrary angle from epitaxially grown multilayer graphene (MLG). It is compared with that of free-standing graphene layers.…
We present a proof of concept for a spectrally selective thermal mid-IR source based on nanopatterned graphene (NPG) with a typical mobility of CVD-grown graphene (up to $3000$ cm$^2$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$), ensuring scalability to large areas.…
Graphene epitaxially grown on Ru(0001) displays a remarkably ordered pattern of hills and valleys in Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) images. To which extent the observed "ripples" are structural or electronic in origin have been much…
Vacuum breakdowns in particle accelerators and other devices operating at high electric fields is a common problem in the operation of these devices. It has been proposed that the onset of vacuum breakdowns is associated with appearance of…
We have measured surface morphology and gas adsorption characteristics of uncompressed pyrolytic graphite sheet (uPGS) which is a candidate substrate for AC and DC superflow experiments on monolayers of 4He below T = 1 K. The PGS is a…
We report on a new method for graphene synthesis and assessment of the properties of the resulting large-area graphene layers. Graphene was produced by the high pressure - high temperature growth from the natural graphitic source by…
We have studied the magnetic response of two bulk highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) samples with different internal microstructure. For the sample with well defined interfaces, parallel to the graphene layers, the temperature and…
Heavy quarkonium production is an excellent tool to test both perturbative and non-perturbative QCD, as perturbative QCD can describe the heavy quark production process, while the formation of the quarkonium bound state involves…
