We report FePd3 as a material for studying thermally active artificial spin ice (ASI) systems and use it to investigate both the square and kagome ice geometries. We readily achieve perfect ground state ordering in the square lattice and demonstrate the highest yet degree of monopole charge ordering in the kagome lattice. We find that smaller lattice constants in the kagome system generally pro...

In this paper, a new fuzzy multi-criteria mathematical model for the selection of the best among a finite number of ordering policy of raw material in a supply chain is developed. The problem treated is a part of the purchasing plan of a company in an uncertain environment and it is very common in business practice. Optimization criteria selected describe the performance measures of ordering po...

Full-potential density-functional calculations show that the electronic structure of one-dimensional ferrimagnetic Ca3Co2O6 varies from metal to half metal to insulator as its magnetic ordering changes from the ferrimagnetic through the ferromagnetic to the paramagnetic state. The present Letter is the first to establish the occurrence of half metallicity in one-dimensional oxides. Moreover, th...

A layered sulfide, Na0.5NbS2 (space group: P63/ mmc), was synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction as an electrode material for a Na-ion battery. Galvanostatic Na insertion/extraction was performed to characterize the system NaxNbS2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) operating on the Nb(IV)/Nb(III) redox couple. Although the system shows a high specific capacity of 143.6 mAh g−1, the voltage profile is no...

this paper is a research on the ordering planning of a supply chain with one supplier, multi buyer and multi deteriorating items. items have fixed life time and expire dates. the ordering period is taken as variable and must be computed the proposed models. the problem is studied via two different approaches the first is the joint replenishment, based on the hwang and chew's model [3] and ...

‎a common approach to determine efficient solutions of a multiple objective optimization problem‎ ‎is reformulating it to a parameter dependent scalar optimization problem‎. ‎this reformulation is called scalarization approach‎. here, a well-known scalarization approach named pascoletti-serafini scalarization is considered‎. first, some difficulties of this scalarization are discussed and then ...

Correlated-electron materials such as transition-metal oxides have attracted enormous interest because of their interesting physical properties, including superconductivity and colossal magnetoresistance. An electron in a correlated electron material has three attributes: charge, spin, and orbital. The orbital represents the shape of the electron distribution, and the orbital degree of freedom ...

We present a combined high-energy x-ray diffraction and local-density approximation study of the sodium ordering in Na(0.75)CoO2. The obtained results rule out previously proposed Na-ordering models and provide strong evidence for the formation of sodium-density stripes in this material. The local-density approximation calculations prove that the sodium-density stripes lead to a sizable dip in ...

Orientational order in condensed matter plays a key role in determining material properties such as ferromagnetism, viscoelasticity or birefringence. We studied purely orientational ordering in closely-packed one-patch colloidal particles confined between flat substrates, where the particles can only rotate and are ordered via the sticky interaction between the patches. For the first time, we e...
