In this paper, Dy co-doped ZnO:V_1% was prepared using the sol–gel process. We studied the impact of doping on the physical properties of the synthesized nanoparticles. In our synthetic approach, under an esterification reaction the release of water w...

We analyze the magnetic excitations and the spin-mediated superconductivity in iron-based superconductors within a low energy model that operates in the band basis, but fully incorporates the orbital character of the spin excitations. We show how the...

We investigate charge distribution in the recently discovered high-$T_c$ superconductors, layered nickelates. With increasing value of charge-transfer energy, we observe the expected crossover from the cuprate to the local triplet regime upon hole dopin...

Zirconium nitride (ZrN) is an important material for the mechanical industries due to its excellent properties such as excellent wear resistance, high hardness, etc. In practical applications, it is necessary to study how to regulate the mechanical p...

AsF₃E as a representative of a molecular crystal has been chosen to find the precise localization of the lone pair (LP) E centroid 4s² of As³⁺ and to enlighten the behavior of lone pair triplets of fluorine atoms. Starting from stereochemistry ration...

We studied the effects of image formation in a device known as Ferrocell, which consists of a thin film of a ferrofluid solution between two glass plates subjected to an external magnetic field in the presence of a light source. Following suggestions...

The objective of this paper is to investigate the convergence of coupling-parameter expansion-based solutions to the Ornstein–Zernike equation in liquid state theory. The analytically solved Baxter’s adhesive hard sphere model is analyzed first by us...

Positron annihilation spectroscopy using lifetime and Doppler broadening allows the characterization of the lithiation state in LiCoO₂ thin film used in cathode of lithium-ion batteries. The lifetime results reflect positron spillover because of the...

Improving the efficiency and longevity of energy storage systems based on Li- and Na-ion rechargeable batteries presents a major challenge. The main problems are essentially capacity loss and limited cyclability. These effects are due to a hierarchy...

The emerging energy demand and need to develop sustainable energy storage systems have drawn extensive attention to fundamental and applied research. Anion redox processes were proposed in cathodic materials in addition to traditional transition meta...

New insight into the superconducting properties of HgBa₂CuO₄ (Hg-1201) cuprates is provided by combined measurements of electrical resistivity and single crystal X-ray diffraction under pressure. The changes induced by increasing pressure up to 20 GP...

Starting with a minimal model for the CuO${}_2$ planes with the on-site Hilbert space reduced to only three effective valence centers [CuO${}_4$]${}^{7-,6-,5-}$ (nominally Cu${}^{1+,2+,3+}$) with different conventional spin and different orbital symmetry, we propose a unifi...

Recent theoretical and experimental research is triggering interest to technologies based on radiation in the region from ~0.1 to 20 Terahertz (THz). Today, this region of the electromagnetic (e.m.) spectrum is a frontier area for research in many di...
