adsorption of cyanogen molecule on the surface of pristine and sc-doped b12n12 nanocage is scrutinized using at dft calculations to investigating its potential as chemical nanosensors. the results show that cyanogen is weakly adsorbed on the pristine b12n12 and consequently its electrical properties are changed insignificantly. in order to improve the properties of the nanocage sensor, sc dopin...

ABSTRACT The main objective of this work is to investigate the adsorption of Pyrrole 2-carboxylic acid (PCA) from O, N and C sites on the surface of pristine and Ni doped B12N12 nano cage by using density functional theory (DFT). The results of adsorption energy indicate that the adsorption of PCA on the surface of B12N12 and NiB11N12 is exoth...

We report neutron scattering studies on two single crystal samples of the electron-doped (n-type) superconducting (SC) cuprate Nd2-xCexCuO4 (x=0.15) with T(c)=18 and 25 K. Unlike the hole-doped (p-type) SC cuprates, where incommensurate magnetic fluctuations commonly exist, the n-type cuprate shows commensurate magnetic fluctuations at the tetragonal (1/2 1/2 0) reciprocal points both in the SC...

We investigate the zinc vacancy effects on the electronic structures and magnetic properties of Sc-doped ZnO, by performing first-principles calculations within both GGA + U and Heyd–Scuseria–Ernzerhof hybrid functional methods. We find that Sc impurities stabilize considerably Zn vacancies. The electronic and magnetic analysis shows a half metallic ferromagnetic character with a total magnetic...

Within the framework of the kinetic energy driven superconducting mechanism, the momentum dependence of the Bogoliubov angle in the electron-doped cuprate superconductors is studied. By calculation of the ratio of the low energy quasiparticle spectra at positive and negative energies, it is shown that the Bogoliubov angle increases monotonically across the Fermi crossing point, suggesting a con...

The disclosure of the magnetic and spinon superconductivities in hole-doped Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+x (Bi2212) cuprate raises the question about the origin of the superconductivity in other cuprates and specially in an electron-doped Nd 2-x Ce x CuO 4 (NCCO) cuprate. The superconductivity (SC) in copper-oxide materials or the high-T c superconductivity (HTSC) is an extraordinary phenomenon. The cu...

The disclosure of spinon superconductivity and superconductivity mediated by spin-waves in hole-doped Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+x (Bi2212) cuprate raises the question about the origin of the superconductivity in other cuprates and specially in an electron-doped Nd 2-x Ce x CuO 4 (NCCO) cuprate. The superconductivity (SC) in copper-oxide materials or the high-T c superconductivity (HTSC) is an extrao...

Based on the possible superconducting (SC) pairing symmetries recently proposed, the quasiparticle interference (QPI) patterns in electron- and hole-doped Sr₂IrO₄ are theoretically investigated. In the electron-doped case, the QPI spectra can be explained based on a model similar to the octet model of the cuprates while in the hole-doped case, both the Fermi surface topology and the sign of the...

Photodeposition of Pt on the Sc-doped La5Ti2CuS5O7 (Sc-LTC) photocathode, a visible-light-responsive semiconducting oxysulfide, is accomplished in a solution containing H2PtCl6 and K2C2O4. Pt particles are selectively deposited on the top surface of rod-like Sc-LTC particles as a result of one-dimensional transfer of photogenerated electrons.
