Advances in the synthesis and scalable manufacturing of single-walled carbon nanotubes
(SWCNTs) remain critical to realizing many important commercial applications. Here we …

In recent years, research in the field of carbon nanomaterials (CNMs), such as fullerenes,
expanded graphite (EG), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, and graphene oxide (GO) …

Domains in ferroelectrics were considered to be well understood by the middle of the last
century: They were generally rectilinear, and their walls were Ising-like. Their simplicity …

Transition metal oxides (TMOs) are a fascinating class of materials due to their wide ranging
electronic, chemical and mechanical properties. Additionally, they are gaining increasing …

The thermoelectric effect encompasses three different effects, ie Seebeck effect, Peltier
effect, and Thomson effect, which are considered as thermally activated materials that alter …

Activation energy for the decomposition of explosives is a crucial parameter of performance.
The dramatic suppression of activation energy in condensed phase decomposition of …

We study the non-Fourier heat conductions in nanomaterials based on the thermomass
theory. For the transient heat conduction in a one-dimensional nanomaterial with a low …

The spontaneous transformations associated with symmetry-breaking phase transitions
generate domain structures and defects that may be topological in nature. The formation of …

Trimerization-polarization domains in ferroelectric hexagonal YMnO 3 were resolved in all
three spatial dimensions by piezoresponse force microscopy. Their topology is dominated …

Chemical energy ferroelectrics are generally solid macromolecules showing spontaneous
polarization and chemical bonding energy. These materials still suffer drawbacks, including …
