The shallow-donor ground-state binding energy of wurtzite grained (In,Ga)N asymmetric coupled quantum wells (ACQW) is calculated. Within the effective-mass and the one-band parabolic approximations, the structure size, the composition of well and the barrier, the position of the impurity and the built-in electric field effects are investigated using a variational approach under finite confinement potential. The competition effect between the quantum confinement potential and the BEF is also shown. Our results reveal that the binding energy is the largest at a point corresponding to the maxima of the electron wave-function and a larger value is obtained compared to uncoupled QWs. Moreover, the principle effect of the BEF is to reduce the binding energy. It is established that the binding energy can be easily modulated by modifying he structure size, its constitution and the impurity's position. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Lattice thermal conductivity and thermoelectric properties of two-dimensional honeycomb monolayer of CdO
Mahboubeh Yeganeh, Davoud Vahedi Fakhrabad
Summary: The lattice thermal conductivity of CdO monolayer was investigated, and it was found to be lower than that of bulk CdO due to the lower phonon lifetime and phonon group velocity. As a result, the monolayer exhibits higher thermoelectric efficiency compared to the bulk counterpart.

Unified EOS incorporating the finite strain theory for explaining thermo elastic properties of high temperature superconductors, nanomaterials and bulk metallic glasses
Shivam Srivastava, Prachi Singh, Anjani K. Pandey, Chandra K. Dixit
Summary: In this research paper, a novel equation of state (EOS) based on finite strain theories is proposed for predicting the thermo elastic properties of various materials. Extensive analysis and comparison with existing models and experimental data demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed EOS in capturing the unique thermodynamic behavior of nanomaterials, bulk metallic glasses, and superconductors. This research is of great importance in the fields of materials science, nanotechnology, and condensed matter physics.

Isostructural phase transition in Tb2Ti2O7 under pressure and temperature: Insights from synchrotron X-ray diffraction
Subrata Das, Sanjoy Kr Mahatha, Konstantin Glazyrin, R. Ganesan, Suja Elizabeth, Tirthankar Chakraborty
Summary: In this study, we investigated the structural evolution of Tb2Ti2O7 under external pressure and temperature, and confirmed the occurrence of an isostructural phase transition beyond 10 GPa pressure. This transition leads to changes in lattice parameters and mechanical properties, which can be understood in terms of localized rearrangement of atoms.

Superconductivity of metallic graphene
Hamze Mousavi
Summary: It has been found that undoped graphene sheet has zero states at the Fermi energy level, making it difficult for Cooper pairing to occur in the superconductive state. However, T-graphene, with physical properties similar to graphene, exhibits metallic behavior and has available electron states near the Fermi level. The gap equation for the s-wave superconductive state is derived based on the attractive Hubbard model and the Bogoliubov de Gennes equation for this two-dimensional metallic system. It is found that a nonzero critical temperature, τ, exists for different levels of electron-electron interaction, ǫ. τ has higher values when the system has electronic half band-filling, but decreases when the system does not have half band-filling. However, τ vanishes when ǫ becomes small enough near the band edges.
