Magnetic insulator and topological insulator heterostructures have been studied in search of induced magnetism in the topological insulator, but chiral edge states have been elusive. We have identified MgAl 0.5Fe 1.5O 4/Bi 2Se 3 bilayers for a possible

Metallic transition metal dichalcogenides like tantalum diselenide (TaSe2) exhibit exciting behaviors at low temperatures including the emergence of charge density wave (CDW) states. In this work, density functional theory (DFT) is used to classify the
Bubble point pressures of three binary mixtures at two compositions each have been measured utilizing a static method. The mixtures studied were: difluoromethane + 2,3,3,3 tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (R-32/1234yf), difluoromethane + (E)-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1
The presence of electrostatic forces and associated artifacts complicates the interpretation of piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) and electrochemical strain microscopy (ESM). Eliminating these artifacts provides an opportunity for precisely mapping

We present evidence for and characterization of a ≈ 4 nm thick (Y1−xGdx)3Fe5O12 layer with x ≥ 0.4 formed at the interface between a gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) substrate and a sputtered Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) epitaxial film with nominal thickness of 20 nm

The excellent optoelectronic properties of lead-halide perovskite thin films are complemented by their tolerance to broad compositional variations and associated strain, which allows tuning of desired properties such as the optical bandgap. On the other
Organic materials are uniquely suited for indoor light energy harvesting because they absorb mostly in the visible spectrum and the absence of ultraviolet light minimizes their degradation. However, the performance of photovoltaic devices under indoor

We propose an approach to generate a wide range of randomly branched polymeric structures to gain insights into the structure of the assemblies to gain general insights into how polymer topology encodes configurational structure in solution. Our work is

Peptides can be computationally designed and engineered to achieve various functionalities and structures. Herein computational design was used to identify a set of 17 peptides having a wide range of putative charge states but the same tetrameric coiled
This paper reports the powder X-ray diffraction patterns, argon isotherms at 87 K, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface areas, pore size distributions, pore volumes, skeletal densities, and thermal gravimetric analyses for three National Institute of Standards

Geckos have the astonishing ability to climb on vertical surfaces due to the adhesive properties of fibrous setae at the tips of their toe pads. While the adhesion mechanism principle, based on van-der-Waals interactions of myriads of spatula located at
Standard electron beam powder-bed fusion Ti-6Al-4V powder recovery and hot-isostatic pressing has been found to result in a surface layer microstructure change to globular α/β. Thickness control of this surface layer up to 15 μm was demonstrated by varying

In this study, imidazolium-based polymerizable ionic liquids (Poly-ILs) are used to prepare novel polyionic biocomposites through Natural Fiber Welding. Two new Poly-ILs containing the 1-alkyl-3-vinylimidazolium cation and an alkylphosphonate anion were
This report describes a CIPM Key Comparison through the SIM/MWG-7 organization, concerning instrumented impact testing of low-energy (20 J) and high-energy (100 J) Charpy V-notch specimens. In this Comparison, various instrumented and non-instrumented data
Polymer nanocomposites containing self-assembled cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are ideal for advanced applications requiring both strength and toughness, as their helicoidal structure deflects crack propagation and the polymer matrix dissipates impact
