Excitonic properties of F-centers in $\alpha$-alumina from First Principles Calculation

open access: yes, 2018
We use state-of-the art GW-BSE formalism to study electronic structure and optical properties of oxygen vacancies in $\alpha$-alumina. Many body perturbation theory within GW approximation in recent years have been used extensively to study excited state

Pyramidal Structures on Yttria‐Stabilized Zirconia after High Temperature Exposure at 1500°C: New Features on an Old Material

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
New features on yttria‐stabilized zirconia after exposure at 1500°C: Newly discovered pyramidal structures on an old material. After exposure at 1550°C on the cross section of YSZ new features, namely pyramidal structures are discovered. These structures grow with time, increase in numbers, appear as singularities, are often arranged in strings, and ...

A systematic benchmark of the ab initio Bethe-Salpeter equation approach for low-lying optical excitations of small organic molecules

open access: yes, 2015
The predictive power of the ab initio Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) approach, rigorously based on many-body Green's function theory but incorporating information from density functional theory, has already been demonstrated for the optical gaps and ...

Microstructure Evolution of a VMnFeCoNi High‐Entropy Alloy After Synthesis, Swaging, and Annealing

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The synthesis and processing (rotary swaging and annealing) of the novel VMnFeCoNi alloy is investigated, alongside the estimation of the grain size effect on hardness. Analysis of a wide grain size range of recrystallized microstructures (12–210 µm) reveals a low annealing twin density.

Influence of Interspecies Transmission of Atypical Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Prions to Hamsters on Prion Characteristics

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a prion disease in cattle and is classified into the classical type (C-BSE) and two atypical BSEs, designated as high type (H-BSE) and low type (L-BSE).

Structural equation modeling analysis of determinants of barriers to breast self-examination among Eastern Chinese women.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
BackgroundThis study aimed to establish a structural equation model to determine the associations among knowledge of breast cancer, beliefs about breast self-examination (BSE), BSE practice, socio-economic status (SES), and barriers to BSE among Eastern ...

A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,
