C60 fullerides are uniquely flexible molecular materials that exhibit a rich variety of behavior, including superconductivity and magnetism in bulk compounds, novel electronic and orientational phases in thin films, and quantum transport in…
The anomalies of electromagnetic properties of carbon condensates are discussed. Basic attention has been done to electromagnetic properties of thin carbon films produced by means of sputtering of spectral pure graphite in electrical arc…
Semiconducting nanoparticles are the building blocks of optical nanodevices as their electronic states, and therefore light absorption and emission, can be controlled by modifying their size and shape. CdSe is perhaps the most studied of…
The "multilayer silicene" films were grown on Ag(111), with increasing thickness above 30 monolayers (ML). We found that the "multilayer silicene" is indeed a bulk Si(111) film. Such Si film on Ag(111) always exhibits a root(3)xroot(3)…
Transition-metal nitrides in {\eta}-carbide type structures exhibit unusual bonding motifs and proximity to magnetic instabilities. Yet they remain unexplored in thin-film form due to the difficulty of stabilizing nitrogen-poor ternaries…
We review recent work on the phase structure of QCD at very high baryon density. We introduce the phenomenon of color superconductivity and discuss the use of weak coupling methods. We study the phase structure as a function of the number…
Vanadium silicide (V$_3$Si) is a promising superconductor for integration with silicon-based electronics, however the interfacial growth kinetics have a strong influence on the resulting superconducting properties and are not yet fully…
Carbon nanomembranes (CNMs) are nanometer-thin disordered carbon materials that are suitable for a range of applications, from energy generation and storage, through to water filtration. The structure-property relationships of these…
We demonstrate that structures made of light can be used to coherently control the motion of complex molecules. In particular, we show diffraction of the fullerenes C60 and C70 at a thin grating based on a standing light wave. We prove…
According to a continuous medium theory, in very thin ferroelectric films with real metallic electrodes (or dead layers near the electrodes) the domain structure reduces to sinusoidal distribution of ferroelectric polarization. Such a…
In this work, we report on the study on organic-metal hybrid systems, in particular Co-C60 fullerene thin films. This study mainly focused on the investigation of the morphological and structural evolution of the film surface after various…
The possible occurrence of bound states of He-3 atoms in the vicinity of a weakly attractive substrate coated with a thin superfluid He-4film is investigated by first principle computer simulations. No evidence is seen of such bound states,…
The morphological, transport and terahertz optical properties of DC magnetron sputtered granular molybdenum thin-films with nano-grains embedded in an amorphous matrix have been studied in the normal and superconducting states. The…
Understanding the relationship between colloidal building block shape and self-assembled material structure is important for the development of novel materials by self-assembly. In this regard, colloidal superballs are unique building…
Although two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) have fantastic physical and chemical properties as well as wide applications, it remains challenging to produce stable MXenes due to their rapid structural…
In this paper, we model the evolution and self-assembly of randomly oriented carbon nanotubes (CNTs), grown on a metallic substrate in the form of a thin film for field emission under diode configuration. Despite high output, the current in…
Transformation of graphene flakes to fullerenes assisted by Ni clusters is investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. The bond-order potential for Ni-C systems is developed. The potential reproduces the experimental and…
It is widely accepted that self-assembling building blocks is one of the promising ways for engineering new materials. Recent years reveal substantial progress in fabricating colloidal particles, polymer blocks and supramolecular aggregates…
Ultrananocrystalline diamond/hydrogenated amorphous carbon composite thin films synthesized via coaxial arc plasma possess a marked structural feature of diamond grains embedded in an amorphous carbon and a hydrogenated amorphous carbon…
In 1985, "During experiments aimed at understanding the mechanisms by which long-chain carbon molecules are formed in interstellar space and circumstellar shells", Harry Kroto and his collaborators serendipitously discovered a new form of…
