Nonlinear scattering theory, contrary to Miller’s rule, is shown to be able to establish the nonlinear optical response of metamaterials, a tool that can be used towards the efficient design of strongly nonlinear metamaterials.
Monolayers of graphene, boron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenides are stacked in vertical heterostructures to realize light-emitting devices based on single and multiple quantum wells, with bright electroluminescence up to room temperature.
In situ liquid-phase electron microscopy experiments show that the binding of calcium ions to a biomimetic polymer matrix can direct the nucleation of amorphous calcium carbonate, a main precursor phase in calcium carbonate mineralization.
The application of a high magnetic field is shown to induce spin-density-wave order in Sr3Ru2O7. This magnetic order correlates with the electronic nematic behaviour observed in this material.
The usual model of glass corrosion is based on diffusion-coupled hydration and selective cation release. A novel corrosion mechanism now suggests that interfacial dissolution–reprecipitation may be a universal process that controls both silicate glass corrosion and mineral weathering.
