At present, the technological groundwork of atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) hetero-layered structures realized by successive thin film epitaxial growth is in principle constrained by lattice matching prerequisite as well as low yield and expensive production. Here, we artificially coordinate ultrathin 2D hetero-layered metal chalcogenides via a highly scalable self-surface charge exfoliati...

This paper deals with the dynamic analysis of stress field in cylindrically layeredstructures reinforced by carbon nanotube (CLSRCN) subjected to mechanical shock loading.Application of meshless local integral equations based on meshless local Petrov-Galerkin(MLPG) method is developed for dynamic stress analysis in this article. Analysis is carriedout in frequency domain by applying the Laplace...

The crystal structures of piperazine, piperidine and morpholine have been determined at 150 K. All three structures are characterized by the formation of NH...N hydrogen-bonded chains. In piperazine these are linked to form sheets, but the chains are shifted so that the molecules interleave. In morpholine there are in addition weak CH...O interactions. Topological analyses show that these three...

The emergence of two-dimensional (2D) materials has led to tremendous interest in the study of graphene and a series of monoand few-layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). Among these TMDCs, the study of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has gained increasing attention due to its promising optical, electronic, and optoelectronic properties. Of particular interest is the indirect to direct b...

Dynamic fracture mechanics of layered materials has been gaining lots of attentions among the researchers where the layered materials are extensively used in various products and devices to improve structural performance such as strength and durability. The influence of the crack moving speed on the the stress intensity factors was a popular subject in classical elastodynamics. Among the models...

We report the observation of nuclear resonant diffraction of synchrotron radiation by a synthetic multilayer. The nuclear period of the [57Fe(22&/Sc( 1 lA]/Fe(228i)/Sc(l l&l x 25 multilayer was chosen~ to be twice the electronic period to obtain a pure nuclear Bragg reflection. Strong enhancement of the radiative scattering channel provided a fast time response for the 57Fe resonant scattering ...

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have received intensive attentions owing to the abundant and inexpensive sodium (Na) resource. Layered vanadium oxides are featured with various valence states and corresponding compounds, and through multi-electron reaction they are capable to deliver high Na storage capacity. The rational construction of unique structures is verified to improve their Na storage pro...

Both theoretical investigations and successful experimental research were performed recently, confirming the existence and demonstrating the main properties of bulk strain solitary waves in nonlinearly elastic solid wave guides. Our current research is devoted to non-linear wave processes in layered elastic wave guides with inhomogeneities modelling damage/delamination. Here, we present first e...

We study the effect of blended and layered titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles on charge transfer processes in conjugated polymer photovoltaics. A two order of magnitude increase in photoconductivity and sharp saturation is observed for layered versus blended structures, independent of the cathode work function. Using electrodes with similar work functions, we observe low dark currents and op...

In this paper we explore the connections between the monadic second-order theory of one successor (MSO[<] for short) and the theories of ω-layered structures for time granularity. We first prove that the decision problem for MSO[<] and that for a suitable first-order theory of the upward unbounded layered structure are inter-reducible. Then, we show that a similar result holds for suitable chai...
