We perform a systematic study based on micromagnetic simulations of the demagnetization process for cylindrical nanowires with different crystalline structure.

The large plasticity observed in newly developed monolithic bulk metallic glasses under quasi-static compression raises a question about the contribution of atomic scale effects. Here, nanocrystals on order 1-1.5 nm size are within an Fe-based glass using aberration-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). accumulation is linked to presence hard and soft zones, which connected micro-scale hardness elastic modulus confirmed by nanoindentation. Furthermore, we...

Simultaneously achieving both broad absorption and sharp emission in the near-infrared (NIR) is challenging. Coupling of an efficient absorber such as lead halide perovskites to lanthanide emissive species a promising way meet demands for visible-to-NIR spectral conversion. However, lead-based perovskite sensitizers suffer from relatively narrow visible range, poor stability, toxicity. Herein, we introduce downshifting configuration based on lead-free cesium manganese bromide nanocrystals...
The most developed approaches for the synthesis of InAs nanocrystals (NCs) rely on pyrophoric, toxic, and not readily available tris-trimethylsilyl (or tris-trimethylgermil) arsine precursors. Less toxic commercially chemicals, such as tris(dimethylamino)arsine, have recently emerged alternative As Nevertheless, NCs made with compounds need to be further optimized in terms size distribution optical properties order meet standard reached arsine. To this aim, work we investigated role ZnCl2...
Halide exchange is a popular strategy to tune the properties of CsPbX3 nanocrystals after synthesis. However, while Cl → Br and I exchanges proceed through formation stable mixed-halide nanocrystals, ⇌ more elusive. Indeed, large size difference between chloride iodide ions causes miscibility gap in CsPbCl3-CsPbI3 system, preventing isolation CsPb(ClxI1-x)3 nanocrystals. Yet, previous works have claimed that full CsPbCl3 CsPbI3 can be achieved. Even interestingly, interrupting prematurely...
