Strain effects on phonon transport in antimonene from a first-principles study [PDF]
Strain engineering is a very effective method to continuously tune the electronic, topological, optical and thermoelectric properties of materials. In this work, strain-dependent phonon transport of recently-fabricated antimonene (Sb monolayer) under biaxial strain is investigated from a combination of first-principles calculations and the linearized ...

Strain effect on quantum conductance of graphene nanoribbons from maximally localized Wannier functions [PDF]
Density functional study of strain effects on the electronic band structure and transport prop- erties of the graphene nanoribbons (GNR) is presented. We apply a uniaxial strain in the x (nearest-neighbor) and y (second nearest-neighbor) directions, related to the deformation of zigzag and armchair edge GNRs (AGNR and ZGNR), respectively.

Regulating strain in perovskite thin films through charge-transport layers
Thermally-induced tensile strain that remains in perovskite films following annealing results in increased ion migration and is a known factor in the instability of these materials. Previously-reported strain regulation methods for perovskite solar cells

Momentum Regularity and Stability of the Relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann System
In the study of solutions to the relativistic Boltzmann equation, their regularity with respect to the momentum variables has been an outstanding question, even local in time, due to the initially unexpected growth in the post-collisional momentum ...

The genetics of deafness in domestic animals
Although deafness can be acquired throughout an animal’s life from a variety of causes, hereditary deafness, especially congenital hereditary deafness, is a significant problem in several species.
