Interaction of Trapped Hydrogen With Dislocations at Low-Temperature in Deformed Palladium
Given such low hydrogen concentration in the heavily deformed Pd, this behavior is representative of hydrogen trapped at dislocations at low temperature. Correlating the spatial and the vibrational characterization of the Cottrell atmosphere demonstrated the phase behavior of the trapped solute …

First-principles studies of perovskite thin films and heterostructures
… onset and retreat of metallic surface states. We calculate the effect of Pt film growth on BaTiO₃, and study the effects on the polarization of BaTiO₃ for different Pt/BaTiO₃ interfaces. We study how strain and interfacial chemistry affect the ferroelectricity of BaTiO₃/Ge and …

Anderson Localization in Low-Dimensional Systems with Long-Range Correlated Disorder
… invariance of the system, the electronic eigenstates will localize in space. This phenomenon is called Anderson localization after Phillip Anderson who first predicted it in 1958. Since then, Anderson localization has remained a vibrant topic of research due to new experimental methods of …
