Spintronics holds the promise for future information technologies. Devices based on
manipulation of spin are most likely to replace the current silicon complementary metal …

Both arthropods and large grazing herbivores are important components and drivers of
biodiversity in grassland ecosystems, but a synthesis of how arthropod diversity is affected …

We demonstrate, both theoretically and experimentally, that cation vacancy can be the origin
of ferromagnetism in intrinsic dilute magnetic semiconductors. The vacancies can be …

Acceptor-bound holes in oxides often localize asymmetrically at one out of several
equivalent oxygen ligands. Whereas Hartree-Fock (HF) theory overly favors such symmetry …

High-temperature ferromagnetic two-dimensional (2D) materials with flat surfaces have
been a long-sought goal due to their potential in spintronics applications. Through …

Theoretical methods have greatly influenced experiment in search of the elusive marriage
between semiconductor electronics and magnetism, and the development of spintronics …

Spherical zinc particles ranging from 42 to 760 nm in average size and capped with plate-
like zinc oxide particles of 10–30 nm in sizes have been prepared by levitation-jet aerosol …

The change of bonding status, typically occurring only in chemical processes, could
dramatically alter the material properties. Here, we show that a tunable breaking and …

To shed light on the mechanism responsible for the weak ferromagnetism in undoped wide
band gap oxides, we carry out a comparative study on ZnO thin films prepared using both …

A novel thermal plasma in-flight technique has been adopted to synthesize nanocrystalline
ZnO and carbon doped nanocrystalline ZnO matrix. Transmission electron microscopy …
