TL;DR: Using density functional theory and perturbation analysis, the electronic properties of BLG in various stackings relevant to recently observed complex structures are investigated, under an external electric field.

TL;DR: In this article, freestanding single-to few-layer sheets of CdX, each possessing a pseudo honeycomb lattice, are considered by cutting along all possible lattice planes of the bulk zinc blende (ZB) and wurtzite (WZ) phases.

TL;DR: This work, based on large-scale quantum molecular dynamics and electronic-transport calculations, shows that vacancies on adjacent graphene sheets, created by electron irradiation, inhibit the formation of edge loops.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the processing additive diiodooctane (DIO) on the morphology of the established blend of PBDTTT-C-T polymer and the fullerene derivative PC 71 BM used for OPVs are investigated, starting in the casting solution and tracing the effects in spun-cast thin fi lms by using neutron/X-ray scattering, neutron refl ectometry, and other characterization techniques.

TL;DR: 3D linear or branched chains of polymer-blend microspheres generated from liquid droplets of solution where the modified surface structure of the polymer composite results in highly robust interparticle bonds are observed, suggesting the possibility of three-dimensional photonic "molecules" and microscale optical manipulation applications.
