A layer of sand of thickness h flows down a rough surface if the inclination is larger than some threshold value theta which decreases with h. A tentative microscopic model for the dependence of theta with h is proposed for rigid frictional grains, based on the following hypothesis: (i) a horizontal layer of sand has some coordination z larger than a critical value z_c where mechanical stability is lost (ii) as the tilt angle is increased, the configurations visited present a growing proportion $_s of sliding contacts. Instability with respect to flow occurs when z-z_s=z_c. This criterion leads to a prediction for theta(h) in good agreement with empirical observations.

Heavy metal-ferromagnet bilayer structures have attracted great research interest for charge-to-spin interconversion. In this work, we have investigated the effect of the permalloy seed layer on the Ta polycrystalline phase and its spin Hall angle. I
nterestingly, for the same deposition rates the crystalline phase of Ta deposited on Py seed layer strongly depends on the thickness of the seed layer. We have observed a phase transition from $alpha$-Ta to ($alpha$+$beta$)-Ta while increasing the Py seed layer thickness. The observed phase transition is attributed to the strain at interface between Py and Ta layers. Ferromagnetic resonance-based spin pumping studies reveal that the spin-mixing conductance in the to ($alpha$+$beta$)-Ta is relatively higher as compared to the to $alpha$-Ta. Spin Hall angles of to $alpha$-Ta and to ($alpha$+$beta$)-Ta are extracted from inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) measurements. Spin Hall angle of the to ($alpha$+$beta$)-Ta is estimated to be $theta$_SH=-0.15 which is relatively higher than that of to $alpha$-Ta. Our systematic results connecting the phase of the Ta with seed layer and its effect on the efficiency of spin to charge conversion might resolve ambiguities across various literature and open up new functionalities based on the growth process for the emerging spintronic devices.
The optical properties of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers such as MoS$_2$ or WSe$_2$ are dominated by excitons, Coulomb bound electron-hole pairs. Screening effects due the presence of hexagonal-BN surrounding layers have b
een investigated by solving the Bethe Salpeter Equation on top of GW wave functions in density functional theory calculations. We have calculated the dependence of both the quasi-particle gap and the binding energy of the neutral exciton ground state E$_b$ as a function of the hBN layer thickness. This study demonstrates that the effects of screening at this level of theory are more short-ranged that it is widely believed. The encapsulation of a WSe$_2$ monolayer by three sheets of hBN (around 1 nm) already yields a 20 % decrease of E$_b$ whereas the maximal reduction is 27% for thick hBN. We have performed similar calculations in the case of a WSe$_2$ monolayer deposited on stacked hBN layers. These results are compared to the recently proposed Quantum Electrostatic Heterostructure approach.
The coercive field and angular dependence of the coercive field of single-grain Nd$_{2}$Fe$_{14}$B permanent magnets are computed using finite element micromagnetics. It is shown that the thickness of surface defects plays a critical role in determin
ing the reversal process. For small defect thicknesses reversal is heavily driven by nucleation, whereas with increasing defect thickness domain wall de-pinning becomes more important. This change results in an observable shift between two well-known behavioral models. A similar trend is observed in experimental measurements of bulk samples, where a Nd-Cu infiltration process has been used to enhance coercivity by modifying the grain boundaries. When account is taken of the imperfect grain alignment of real magnets, the single-grain computed results appears to closely match experimental behaviour.
We present the results of atomic-force-microscopy-based friction measurements on Re-doped molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). In stark contrast to the seemingly universal observation of decreasing friction with increasing number of layers on two-dimensional
(2D) materials, friction on Re-doped MoS2 exhibits an anomalous, i.e. inverse dependency on the number of layers. Raman spectroscopy measurements revealed signatures of Re intercalation, leading to a decoupling between neighboring MoS2 layers and enhanced electron-phonon interactions, thus resulting in increasing friction with increasing number of layers: a new paradigm in the mechanics of 2D materials.
Using Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling analysis, the critical behavior of attractive rigid rods of length k (k-mers) on square lattices at intermediate density has been studied. A nematic phase, characterized by a big domain of paralle
l k-mers, was found. This ordered phase is separated from the isotropic state by a continuous transition occurring at a intermediate density theta_c, which increases linearly with the magnitude of the lateral interactions.
