Defect‐Mediated Inelastic Light Scattering by Infrared Phonons in Hexagonal Boron Nitride

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Optically active defects in hexagonal boron nitride enable inelastic stimulated light scattering mediated by infrared‐active phonons, relaxing conventional Raman selection rules. Defect engineering enhances the Stokes‐conversion process and activates both TO‐ and LO‐phonon scattering channels.

Reliability analysis for a k/n(F) system with repairable repair-equipment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this paper, the reliability and replacement policy of a k/n(F) (i.e. k-out- of-n: F) system with repairable repair-equipment is analyzed. We assume that both the working and repair times of all components in the system and the repair-equipment follow ...

Utilizing the Metastability of Spidroins as a Strategy for Improving Mechanical Properties of Biomimetic Spider Silk Fibers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phase transitions are central for the assembly of recombinant silk proteins into fibers. Soluble protein can transition into condensed states such as condensates and gels. These states are metastable and evolve in a time‐dependent way. Metastability depends on the protein sequence, and this relationship can be used to enhance the mechanical properties ...

Historical and modern aspects of surgical treatment of Ebstein’s anomaly

open access: yesБюллетень сибирской медицины, 2020
Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are recognized as the most common type of congenital pathology. The frequency of CHDs reaches 2.4–14.2 % per 1 000 newborns.

Dirac Semimetallicity Enabled by Stripe Antiferromagnetism in Monolayer FeSe

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In monolayer FeSe, stripe antiferromagnetic order selectively breaks mirror symmetry, enabling odd inter‐orbital hybridization between opposite‐parity Fe 3d states. This mechanism stabilizes symmetry‐protected Dirac nodes with nontrivial Wilson‐loop topology and edge states, accompanied by a strong orbital diamagnetic susceptibility as an experimental ...

Modulation of Surface‐Associated Transport in (Bi1‐xSbx)2Te3 via Battery‐ Inspired Solid‐State Iontronic Gating

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Iontronic gating in a battery‐inspired device modulates the relative weight of surface‐associated and bulk‐like transport fingerprints in (Bi1‐xSbx)2Te3, resulting in phenomenological valve‐like transport behavior. The strongest WAL‐associated coherent transport signatures emerge near the transport‐defined carrier compensation regime at ultra‐low gate ...
