In this paper we report superconductivity in single crystals of the new iron-pnictide system CaFe 2− x Ir x As 2 ( x =0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.13) grown by a self-flux solution method and characterized via X-ray, transport and magnetic measurements. The magnetic ordering associated with a structural transition at 160 K presen…
Previously, experimental results have been presented showing that Mn-Zn ferrite core losses rise significantly with dc bias levels due to an increase in magnetostrictive vibration. In addition, it has been shown that the presence of a high level of remanent flux density, Br, left within a core after the removal of a d…
BACKGROUND: Vascular parameters, such as vascular volume, flow, and permeability, are important disease biomarkers for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Therefore, it is essential to develop approaches to monitor the changes in pancreatic microvasculature non-invasively. METHODS: Here, we describe the application of th…
Some point defects (i.e., oxygen vacancies) create deep trapping levels in the bandgap of the paraelectric phase ferroelectric crystals. Under applied DC field the traps release electrons via the Poole-Frenkel mechanism and become charged. The electric field of a point charge polarizes the crystal locally reducing its…
The surface morphology and electrical conductance of C60-precoated Si(111)3-Au and Si(111)3-Ag surfaces have been monitored in the course of Au and Ag depositions. In both cases, the deposited metal atoms penetrate through the fullerene layers. However, the similarity in the growth mode does not result in similar depe…
We perform first-principles total energy calculations to investigate the stabilities and the electronic structures of graphane-like structures of carbon-halogen compounds, where the hydrogen atoms in the graphane are substituted by halogen atoms. Three halogen elements, fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl) and bromine (Br), ar…
Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy is an important tool to characterize the ground state of conduction electrons and to measure their spin-relaxation times. Observing ESR of the itinerant electrons is thus of great importance in graphene and in single-wall carbon nanotubes. Often, the identification of CESR si…
Abstract The electrical resistance Cu film on flexible substrate was investigated in cyclic bending deformation. The electrical resistance of 1 µm thick Cu film on flexible substrate increased up to 120 % after 500,000 cycles in 1.1 % tensile bending strain. Crack and extrusion were observed due to the fatigue damage…
A composite of polyaniline (PANI) and nanoencapsulated phase-change material (PCM) with polystyrene (PS) as the shell and n-octadecane as the core was synthesized using the ultrasonic technique assisted by in situ polymerization. The composite's morphology, structure, and thermal properties were characterized by trans…
(CuO-CeO 2 )/glass cloth acting as CO oxidation catalyst was prepared by surface selfpropagating thermal synthesis. In the process of synthesis of (CuO-CeO 2 )/glass cloth samples, the content of active components (CuO-CeO 2 ) and fuel additives and the conditions of thermal synthesis were varied. Impact of the nature…
BACKGROUND: Continuous monitoring of glucose by implantable microfabricated devices offers key advantages over current transcutaneous glucose sensors that limit usability due to their obtrusive nature and risk of infection. A successful sensory implant should be biocompatible and retain long-lasting function. Polymorp…
The poly(methyl methacrylate)/clay (PMMA/clay) composites were prepared with the different grafted clay, such as sepiolite fiber, vermiculite and Layered double hydroxides (LDH). These clays modified by grafting of vinyltriethoxysilane (VTS) with a double bond onto the clays surface were used as fillers for PMMA. The…
Pine bark is a low cost sorbent originating from the forest industry. In recent years, it has been found to show promise as an adsorbent for metals and organic substances in contaminated water, especially landfill leachates and storm water. This study aims to investigate if pine bark can replace commercial adsorbents…
Although drug-delivery systems have been developed to improve drug biodistribution and efficiency in cancer therapy, some limitations still hinder successful drug targeting and delivery. Multiple drugs in combination seems a promising strategy for cancer therapy. It enables drugs to be delivered to multiple targets an…
Recent years have witnessed tremendous research in quantum dots as excellent models of quantum physics at the nanoscale and as excellent candidates for various applications based on their optoelectronic properties. This review intends to present theoretical and experimental investigations of the near-field optical pro…
Fillers play a dominant role in modifying the properties of the base polymer. Precipitated silica is a promising non-black filler for rubber vulcanisates. As silica is hydrophilic and rubber is hydrophobic, uniform dispersion of silica in rubber is difficult and gives rise to problems such as high initial viscosity. S…
An efficient near-infrared (NIR) dowmconversion (DC) has been demonstrated in the CaMoO4:Yb3+ phosphors. Very strong NIR emission around 998 nm from the 2F(7/2) --> 2F(5/2) transition of the Yb3+ has been observed under ultraviolet excitation. A similar broad excitation band due to the absorption of the host CaMoO4 ha…
This research is aimed at determining the possible usefulness (ecologic, efficiency, and economic) of collagen material, after de-chroming, to modify polycondensation adhesives for application in woodworking industry. The de-chroming technology of leather chromium waste was proposed in our previous work.1 In this work…
This study investigated whether any possible bio-corrosion of pumps could occur when operating underground pumping stations in coastal regions. Groundwater in the stations was found to contain Leptothrix sp. (iron-oxidizing bacteria, IOB) and Desulfovibrio sp. (sulfur-reducing bacteria, SRB). Four different metal spec…
From our previous study, natural rubber (NR) was used to improve toughness of poly (lactic acid) (PLA). Impact strength and elongation at break of PLA was increased when adding NR. Moreover, by using NR-g-GMA as compatibilizer for PLA and NR blend, impact strength and elongation at break was improved. However, tensile…
