A novel design of white light emitting diodes (WLEDs) emerges to meet the growing global demand for resource sustainability while preserving health and environment. To achieve this goal, a facile method is developed chemical synthesis luminescent silicon nanocrystal (ncSi) with large Stokes shift between absorption emission. The WLED prepared by simple spin‐coating method, contains hybrid‐bilayer ncSi polymer in its device active region. Interestingly, well‐controlled ultrathin layer on...

Stimulated by strong demand for thermal expansion control from advanced modern industries, various giant negative (NTE) materials have been developed during the last decade. Nevertheless, most such exhibit anisotropic in crystal lattice. Therefore, strains and cracks induced repeated cycling degrade their performance as thermal-expansion compensators. Here we achieved isotropic NTE with volume change exceeding 3%, up to 4.1%, via of electronic configuration Sm atoms SmS, (4 f)6 or f)5(5d)1,...

Through magnetic linear dichroism spectroscopy, the susceptibility anisotropy of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes has been extracted and found to be 2-4 times greater than values for semiconducting nanotubes. This large can understood in terms orbital paramagnetism arising from Aharonov-Bohm-phase-induced gap opening a parallel field, our calculations quantitatively reproduce these results. We also compare with previous work nanotubes, which confirm that does not increase linearly...

Abstract Since the discovery of Verwey transition in magnetite, metal compounds with pyrochlore structures have been intensively studied as a platform for realizing remarkable electronic phase transitions. We report on that preserves cubic symmetry β-pyrochlore oxide CsW 2 O 6 , where each W 5 d electrons are confined regular-triangle 3 trimers.

A scheme for calculating quasiparticle effective masses beyond the standard local-density approximation is presented. Correlation effects are included in form of self-energy correction which leads to two important factors. The first factor arises from energy dependence resulting renormalization and second originates wave-vector self-energy. We demonstrate feasibility our approach by some wide-gap semiconductors AlN, GaN, ZnO, artificial ${\mathrm{AlGaN}}_{2},$ well known their technological...

Cyclotron resonance (CR) measurements for the Fe-based superconductor KFe(2)As(2) are performed. One signal CR is observed, and attributed to two-dimensional α Fermi surface at Γ point. We found a large discrepancy in effective masses of [(3.4±0.05)m(e) (m(e) free-electron mass)] de Haas-van Alphen results, direct evidence mass enhancement due electronic correlation. A comparison results shows that both intra- interband correlations contribute KFe(2)As(2).

We have applied the modified droplet epitaxy method using sulfur termination to fabricate InAs quantum dots on GaAs(001) substrates for first time. It is observed that S-terminated surface effectively prevents two-dimensional growth of InAs, forming nanocrystals. From magneto-photoluminescence measurements this structure, three-dimensional confinement effect was confirmed. This promising fabrication dots, not only in lattice-matched system but also lattice-mismatched system.

Experiment results demonstrate that Sm0.9Ca0.1S undergoes the I-to-M when in a small electric field 250 V/cm at liquid-nitrogen temperatures. However, simultaneous measurement I–V characteristics and strain did not detect electrical-field-induced expected from large volume contraction originating valence Sm.
