Thermal stability of nanostructurally stabilized zirconium oxide (2007)
Namavar, Fereydoon, Wang, Gonghua, Cheung, Chin Li, Sabirianov, Renat F., Zeng, Xiao Cheng, Mei, Wai Ning, ...
Nanostructurally stabilized zirconium oxide (NSZ) hard transparent films were produced without chemical stabilizers by the ion beam assisted deposition technique (IBAD). A transmission electron...
Electronic structure and vibrational spectra of C2B10-based clusters and films (2006)
Park, Kyungwha, Pederson, M. R., Boyer, L. L., Mei, Wai-Ning, Sabirianov, Renat F., Zeng, Xiao Cheng, ...
The electronic structure, total energy, and vibrational properties of C2B10H12 (carborane)molecules and C2B10 clusters formed when the hydrogen atoms are removed from carborane molecules are studied...
Spin-Polarized Electronic Structure (2006)
Kashyap, Arti, Sabirianov, Renat F., Jaswal, Sitaram
This chapter is devoted to the electronic structure of nanoscale metallic magnets. After an introduction to methods of electronic structure calculations, we review how recent trends translate into...
Interface-Controlled Ferroelectricity at the Nanoscale (2005)
Duan, Chun-Gang, Sabirianov, Renat F., Mei, Wai-Ning, Jaswal, Sitaram S., Tsymbal, Evgeny Y.
Recent experimental results demonstrate that in thin films ferroelectricity persists down to film thickness of a few unit cells. This finding opens an avenue for novel electronic devices based on...
Giant Electroresistance in Ferroelectric Tunnel Junctions (2005)
Zhuravlev, Mikhail Y., Sabirianov, Renat F., Jaswal, Sitaram, Tsymbal, Evgeny Y.
The interplay between the electron transport in metal-ferroelectric-metal junctions with ultrathin ferroelectric barriers and the polarization state of a barrier is investigated. Using a model which...
Strain Induced Half-Metal to Semiconductor Transition in GdN (2005)
Duan, Chun-gang, Sabirianov, Renat F., Liu, Jianjun, Mei, Wai-Ning, Dowben, Peter A., Hardy, J. R.
We investigate the electronic structure and magnetic properties of GdN as a function of unit cell volume. Based on the first-principles calculations of GdN, we observe that there is a transformation...
Ballistic Anisotropic Magnetoresistance (2005)
Velev, Julian P., Sabirianov, Renat F., Jaswal, Sitaram, Tsymbal, Evgeny Y.
Electronic transport in ferromagnetic ballistic conductors is predicted to exhibit ballistic anisotropic magnetoresistance--a change in the ballistic conductance with the direction of magnetization....
Theoretical study of the magnetic ordering in rare-earth compounds (2004)
Duan, Chun-gang, Sabirianov, Renat F., Liu, Jianjun, Mei, W.N., Dowben, Peter A., Hardy, John R.
We present a detailed theoretical study of the magnetic ordering in heavy rare-earth compounds with a face-centered-cubic structure. In addition to the exchange interactions which are counted up to...
Point defect energetics in silicon using the LDA+U method (2003)
Ramanarayanan, Panchapakesan, Sabirianov, Renat F., Cho, Kyeongjae
We present the first principles results of point defect energetics in silicon calculated using the LDA+U method: a Hubbard type on-site interaction added to the local density approximation (LDA). The...
