Negative photochromism, in which a thermally stable colored form isomerizes to the transient colorless form by light irradiation and the back reaction occurs thermally, is advantageous in its applications for photoswitching materials because visible light can cause the photochromic color change of the materials. Moreo…
The nano- and micropatterned biosilica cell walls of diatoms are remarkable examples of biological morphogenesis and possess highly interesting material properties. Only recently has it been demonstrated that biosilica-associated organic structures with specific nanopatterns (termed insoluble organic matrices) are gen…
Three dimensional reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/Ni foam composites are prepared by a facile approach without using harmful reducing agents. Graphene oxide is reduced by Ni foam directly in its aqueous suspension at pH 2 at room temperature, and the resultant RGO sheets simultaneously assemble around the pillars of the…
Stress fields close to twin tips and the associated local neighbourhoods of a hexagonal close-packed (HCP) polycrystal were studied in detail. For this purpose, a coarse grain textured Zircaloy-2 sample was firstly strained uniaxially in a macroscopic direction that favours tensile twin formation. The sample was then…
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Shell cross-linked micelles (SCMs) containing acid sites in the shell and base sites in the core are prepared from amphiphilic poly(2-oxazoline) triblock copolymers. The materials are utilized as two-chamber nanoreactors for a prototypical acid–base bifunctional tande…
As titanium is a highly utilized metal for structural light-weighting, its phases, transformation pathways (transition states), and structures have scientific and industrial importance. Impurities, pressure, and temperature control the phase stability and transition barriers in most industrial and geophysical material…
At dry and clean material junctions of rigid materials the corrugation of the sliding energy landscape is dominated by variations of Pauli repulsions. These occur when electron clouds centered around atoms in adjacent layers overlap as they slide across each other. In such cases there exists a direct relation between…
HfTe5 is predicted to be a promising platform for studying topological phases. Here through an electrical transport study, we present the first observation of chiral anomaly and ultrahigh mobility in HfTe5 crystals. Negative magneto-resistivity in HfTe5 is observed when the external magnetic and electrical fields are…
Implementation of an optically active material on silicon has been a persistent technological challenge. For tandem photovoltaics using a Si bottom cell, as well as for other optoelectronic applications, there has been a longstanding need for optically active, wide band gap materials that can be integrated with Si. Zn…
Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) exhibit highly desirable size- and shape-dependent properties for applications from electronic devices to imaging. Indium phosphide QDs have emerged as a primary candidate to replace the more toxic CdSe QDs, but production of InP QDs with the desired properties lags behind other QD materia…
Chemical bondings of graphene oxides with oxygen concentration from 1\% to 50\% are investigated using first-principle calculations. Energy gaps are mainly determined by the competition of orbital hybridizations in C-C, O-O, and C-O bonds. They are very sensitive to the changes in oxygen concentration and distribution…
We discuss the origin of the temperature dependence of resistivity observed in highly oriented LaNiO_3 thin films (of thickness d) grown on SrTiO_3 substrate by a pulsed laser deposition technique. All the experimental data are found to collapse into a single universal curve [T/T_{sf}(d)]^{3/2} for the entire temperat…
Shape memory materials containing alternating layers of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and polycaprolactone (PCL) were fabricated through layer-multiplying extrusion. As a type of special co-continuous morphology, the multilayer structure had stable and well-defined continuous layer spaces and could be controlled by…
This paper presents a novel structural supercapacitor based on graphene and hardened cement paste. The maximum specific capacitance is more than 10 F g −1 at the current density of 1A g −1 . The almost ideal rectangular cyclic voltammetry (CV) curve of the structural supercapacitors means that there is no pseudocapaci…
We report a trion (charged exciton) binding energy of ∼162 meV in few-layer phosphorene at room temperature, which is nearly 1-2 orders of magnitude larger than those in two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors (20-30 meV) and quasi-2D quantum wells (∼1-5 meV). Such a large binding energy ha…
The unequal reactivity of the two isocyanate groups in an isophorone diisocyante (IPDI) monomer was exploited to yield modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) with both urethane and isocyanate functionality. The chemical functionality of the modified CNCs was verified with ATR-FTIR analysis and elemental analysis. The…
The increasing threat of multidrug‐resistant bacterial strains against conventional antibiotic therapies represents a significant worldwide health risk and intensifies the need for novel antibacterial treatments. In this work, an effective strategy to target and kill bacteria using silver‐coated magnetic nanocoils is…
Photonic crystals (PhCs) prepared using the self-assembly of block copolymers (BCPs) offer the potential for simple and rapid device fabrication but typically suffer from low refractive index contrast (Δn ≤ 0.1) between the phase-segregated domains. Here, we report the simple fabrication of BCP-based photonic nanocomp…
In severe loss of coolant accidents (LOCA), similar to those experienced at Fukushima Daiichi and Three Mile Island Unit 1, the zirconium alloy fuel cladding materials are rapidly heated due to nuclear decay heating and rapid exothermic oxidation of zirconium with steam. This heating causes the cladding to rapidly rea…
As a visible light active p-type semiconductor, CuBi <sub>2</sub> O <sub>4</sub> is of interest as a photocatalyst for the generation of hydrogen fuel from water.
