Functionalized graphene has been extensively studied with the aim of tailoring properties for gas sensors, superconductors, supercapacitors, nanoelectronics, and spintronics. A bottleneck is capability to control carrier type density by doping. We demonstrate that a two-step process an efficient way dope graphene: create vacancies high-energy atom/ion bombardment fill these desired dopants. Different elements (Pt, Co, In) have successfully doped in single-atom form. The high binding energy...
Both relaxor ferroelectric and antiferroelectric materials can individually demonstrate large electrocaloric effects (ECE). However, in order to further enhance the ECE it is crucial find a material system, which exhibit simultaneously both properties, or easily convert from one into another terms of compositional tailoring. Here we report on structure readily change vice versa. To this end Pb0.89La0.11(Zr0.7Ti0.3)0.9725O3 Pb0.93La0.07(Zr0.82Ti0.18)0.9825O3 ceramics were designed near...

Interaction between single noble metal atoms and graphene edges has been investigated via aberration-corrected monochromated transmission electron microscopy. A collective motion of the Au atom nearby carbon is observed in transition energy-favorable configurations. Most trapping detrapping processes are assisted by dangling atoms, which more susceptible to knock-on displacements irradiation. Thermal energy lower than activation barriers among different configurations, suggests electron-beam...
