Superstructure, sodium ordering and antiferromagnetism in NaxCoO2 (0.75<x<1.0)
Transmission-electron-microscopy investigation reveals the presence of a superstructure with a doubled period of 2d110 in the NaxCoO2 materials for x ranging from 0.75 to 1.0.

Drying model for porous material based on the dynamics of the evaporation front
A receding-front model for drying of porous material is proposed that explains their drying-rate curves based on the dynamics of the evaporation front. The falling-rate regime is attributed to the slowing down of the front's propagation inside the medium due to the resistance offered by the disorder generated by porosi...

Preferential out-of-plane conduction and quasi-one-dimensional electronic states in layered 1T-TaS2
Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are commonly classified as quasi-two-dimensional materials, meaning that their electronic structure closely resembles that of an individual layer, which results in resistivity anisotropies reaching thousands. Here, we show that this rule does not hold for 1T-TaS2 - a comp...
