In recurrence analysis, the τ-recurrence rate encodes the periods of the cycles of the underlying high-dimensional time series. It, thus, plays a similar role to the autocorrelation for scalar time-series in encoding ...

Among the transparent conducting oxides, the perovskite barium stannate is most promising for various electronic applications due to its outstanding carrier mobility achieved at room temperature. However, most of its ...

Modeling the electronic and optical properties of organic semiconductors remains a challenge for theory, despite the remarkable progress achieved in the last three decades. The complexity of these systems, including ...

Reaching population immunity against COVID-19 is proving difficult even in countries with high vaccination levels. Thus, it is critical to identify limits of control and effective measures against future outbreaks. The ...

Atomic surface structure imaging is instrumental for the understanding of surface-related phenomena. Here, we show that conventional tapping mode atomic force microscopy with high cantilever eigenmodes and subnanometer ...

Interfacial water is a widespread lubricant down to the nanometer scale. We investigate the lubricities of molecularly thin H2O and D2O films confined between mica and graphene, via the relaxation of initially applied ...

Interfaces between mica and graphene, as well as the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) MoS2 and WS2, were wetted with water and ethanol, and investigated employing scanning force microscopy and molecular dynamics ...

A known strategy for improving the properties of layered oxide electrodes in sodium-ion batteries is the partial substitution of transition metals by Li. Herein, the role of Li as a defect and its impact on sodium storage ...

Most electrical sensor and biosensor elements require reliable transducing elements to convert small potential changes into easy to read out current signals. Offering inherent signal magnification and being operable in ...

We develop a materials descriptor based on the electronic density-of-states (DOS) and investigate the similarity of materials based on it. As an application example, we study the Computational 2D Materials Database (C2DB) ...
