We present recent progress in understanding the anomalous behavior of water ice under
mechanical compression, thermal excitation, and molecular undercoordination (with fewer …

In this section, we discuss the following:• Bond formation, relaxation, and the associated
energetics, entrapment, localization, and polarization of electrons mediate the performance …

The discovery of a flat two-dimensional crystal known as graphene has contradicted Landau–
Peierls–Mermin–Wagner arguments that there is no stable flat form of such crystals. Here …

Theoretical calculations have predicted that extreme strains (> 10%) in graphene would
result in novel applications. However, up to now the highest reported strain reached∼ 1.3 …

We studied and compared the effect of tensile strain on the Raman spectra of black
phosphorus (BP) and molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe 2) crystals by using a simple custom …

Perturbation Raman spectroscopy has underscored the hydrogen bond (O: H–O or HB)
cooperativity and polarizability (HBCP) for water, which offers a proper parameter space for …

Coulomb repulsion between the unevenly-bound bonding “–” and nonbonding “:” electron
pairs in the “O2−: H+/p–O2−” hydrogen bond is shown to originate the anomalies of ice …

Graphene is being suggested as a replacement for activated carbon in energy storage
devices ranging from supercapacitors to batteries. The generation of multi-heteroatom self …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) polyaniline with C 3 N stoichiometry, is a newly fabricated
layered material that has been expected to possess fascinating electronic, thermal …

Applications that provide versatile, high temperature warnings require the development of
thermochromic materials based on solid-state oxides. To boost the visible thermochromic …
