Scientists have unraveled details of the mechanism of mechanical reinforcement in glassy polymer nanocomposites.1 Measurements in the interfacial layer ~2–4 nm around nanoparticles revealed that Young’s modulus, which defines the relationship between
Concentrated transition metal alloys with the formula NiCoCrx, with x≈1, and a simple cubic crystal structure, display transport, magnetic and thermodynamic signatures exhibited by more structurally complex compounds near a quantum critical point (QCP).
Researchers have demonstrated a process to prepare morphologically tailored carbon materials with good electrochemical capacity and stability for sodium-ion battery anodes.
Scientific Achievement
Found that, when confined in the ~ 5 Å wide channels in a beryl crystal, the water molecule undergoes quantum tunneling between six symmetrically equivalent positions around the c-axis in the structure.
Significance and Impact
Fir
Misfit heterojunctions formed by van der Waals (vdW) epitaxial growth of one crystalline metal chalcogenide monolayer on another was demonstrated for the first time to form p-n junctions that exhibit a photovoltaic response.
Scientific Achievement A multilevel modeling and population-based refinement scheme (Figure 1) for neutron total scattering data was developed to capture the true nature of surface termination species present on Ti3C2Tx MXenes
