Arsenene nanoribbon edge-resolved strong magnetism by Wang, Sanmei, Zhang, Xi, Huang, Yongli, Sun, Chang Qing

“…Consistency between bond-order-length-strength correlation (BOLS) theory and density functional theory (DFT) calculations verified that: (i) the edge bond contraction of 9.54% deepened the edge potential well of AsNR, (ii) a net charge of 0.06 e- transferred from the inner region to the edge; and (iii) the edge quantum well polarized the unpaired electron and the net spin (antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic depending on the width) is localized at the zigzag edge. …”

Electronic structure of topological quantum materials probed by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy by Schröter, N

“…Graphene is predicted to be a quantum spin Hall insulator, but due to the weak spin-orbit coupling (SOC) of carbon, the predicted bulk energy gap at its Dirac point remains unresolved. …”

Fabrication of ordered nanoring arrays via the footprint of a polymer nanosphere monolayer by Zhao, Qin, Leng, Bing, Wu, Linda Yong Ling, Wong, Chee Cheong

“…The method is based on the observation that arrays of residual ring-shaped footprints would be left on the silicon substrate by directly peeling off the polystyrene nanosphere monolayer. …”

Infusing epistemic perspectives on scientific practices in science teacher education by Erduran, S, Saribas, D, Kaya, E

“…The depiction of scientific practices relies on a theoretical model called the Benzene Ring Heuristic (BRH) which consolidates the epistemic, cognitive and social aspects of scientific practices into a holistic and visual representation. …”

iMASON : towards influence-driven multi-level analysis of online social networks by Li, Hui

“…Social network is a social structure of nodes that are tied by various kinds of relationships, such as kinships, friends, web links, colleagues, citation links, etc. Recently, large on-line social networks have become very popular among web users. …”

Hand-held devices for generating force/torque perturbations by Wong, Yoke Cung.

“…The working principle is to spin the flywheel at a certain angular speed and then break this rotation motion within a very short period so that relatively high deceleration will take place and torque will be generated. …”
