A Polar Topology Network Induces Elastic Stiffening in Ferroelectric Oxide Superlattices

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
The periodicity in BiFeO3/SrTiO3 superlattices tunes the system into a dense, elastically constrained polar texture state. This topology‐rich regime reveals a collective mechanical response in which interactions among polar topological defects restrict local deformations, producing a pronounced elastic stiffening.

Self‐Assembled hBN Wrinkles as Planar Optofluidic Channels

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Thermally induced wrinkling creates nanochannel networks in hexagonal boron nitride flakes without lithography. Channel dimensions depend on flake thickness and substrate. Liquid infiltration into the networks and fluorescence localization of DNA along the channels highlight their potential as a scalable, optically addressable planar nanofluidic ...

Robust Reconstruction of Atomic Force Microscopy Tip Shape From Force‐Indentation Curves

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
A robust method, termed Piecewise Inverse Force Curve Analysis (PIFCA), is introduced for reconstructing the shape of atomic force microscopy (AFM) tips. The approach relies on piecewise linear axisymmetric approximation of the tip shape based on the analysis of force versus indentation depth curves acquired on a soft reference sample.

Goffman's Tempting the Devil in Stigma: A Close Rereading of Goffman's “Subversive” Construct of “the Normals” Versus “the Stigmatized”

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
This article engages in a close rereading of Stigma, relating it to Goffman's biography as a person who faced stigma. Exploring his biography helps us to recognize the ways Goffman applies stigma strategies in how he represents himself as the author in Stigma.

Reconciling Goffman and Disability Studies: “Interactional” and “Structural” Stigma in the Lives of Parents of Learning‐Disabled Adults

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Erving Goffman cuts a divisive figure in disability studies. Some criticize his conception of “stigma” as deviance‐focused and as ignoring structural forces that shape personal encounters. Others praise his recognition of stigma as an interactional phenomenon.
