Band Structure and Energy Level Alignment of Chiral Graphene Nanoribbons on Silver Surfaces
(MDPI, 2021-12-06)
Chiral graphene nanoribbons are extremely interesting structures due to their narrow band gaps and potential development of spin-polarized edge states. Here, we study their band structure on low work function silver surfaces. ...
Effect of the valence state on the band magnetocrystalline anisotropy in two-dimensional rare-earth/noble-metal compounds
(American Physical Society, 2022)
[EN] In intermetallic compounds with zero orbital momentum (L = 0) the magnetic anisotropy and the electronic band structure are interconnected. Here, we investigate this connection in divalent Eu and trivalent Gd intermetallic ...
Tailoring the magnetocaloric, magnetic and thermal properties of Dy6(Fe,Mn)X2 intermetallics (X==Sb, Te, Bi)
(Elsevier, 2022-01-15)
[EN] The structural, magnetic, magnetocaloric (MCE) and thermal properties of seven Fe2P-type Dy6(Fe,Mn)X2 (X=Sb, Bi, Te) intermetallics (space group P 6 over line 2 m, N 189, hP9) have been experimentally studied. They ...
Atomically-Precise Texturing of Hexagonal Boron Nitride Nanostripes
(Wiley, 2021-09)
Monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is attracting considerable attention because of its potential applications in areas such as nano- and opto-electronics, quantum optics and nanomagnetism. However, the implementation ...
Long-term Variations of Venus's 365 nm Albedo Observed by Venus Express, Akatsuki, MESSENGER, and the Hubble Space Telescope
(IOP, 2019-08-26)
An unknown absorber near the cloud-top level of Venus generates a broad absorption feature from the ultraviolet (UV) to visible, peaking around 360 nm, and therefore plays a critical role in the solar energy absorption. ...
Absence of sizable superconductivity in hydrogen boride: A first-principles study
(APS, 2022-12-12)
The recently synthesized hydrogen boride monolayer in the Cmmm phase is a promising superconductor due to its similarity to MgB2 and the large hydrogen content in its structure. Making use of first-principles calculations ...
Structure Matters: Asymmetric CO Oxidation at Rh Steps with Different Atomic Packing
(American Chemical Society, 2022-08)
Curved crystals are a simple but powerful approach to bridge the gap between single crystal surfaces and nanoparticle catalysts, by allowing a rational assessment of the role of active step sites in gas-surface reactions. ...
Sustainable Cultural Tourism in Urban Destinations: Does Space Matter?
(MDPI, 2016-07)
Policy makers and tourism developers must understand visitors' mobility behavior and how they consume space and tourism resources in order to set up sustainable cultural tourism destinations. With this in mind, it should ...
New algorithm for the elucidation of functional properties of gelatin-based materials
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2021-10)
In the present work, fish gelatin was employed to develop renewable and biodegradable materials, reducing environmental problems associated with conventional petroleum-based materials. Glycerol was used as plasticizer and ...
Ab initio study of metastable occupation of tetrahedral sites in palladium hydrides and its impact on superconductivity
(APS, 2023-01-11)
A recent experimental work on palladium hydrides suggested that metastable structures with hydrogen atoms occupying tetrahedral sites could lead to superconductivity above 50 K, a huge increase compared to the 9 K critical ...
