In this work, experimental and data analysis procedures were developed and applied for studying amino acid crystals by means of X-ray phase measurements. It clearly demonstrated the sensitivity of invariant triplet phases to electronic charge distribution in D-alanine crystal, providing useful information on intermole…
Given a distribution of defects on a structured surface, such as those represented by 2-dimensional crystalline materials, liquid crystalline surfaces, and thin sandwiched shells, what is the resulting stress field and the deformed shape? Motivated by this concern, we first classify, and quantify, the translational, r…
Voltage control of magnetism (VCM) is attracting increasing interest and exciting significant research activity driven by its profound physics and enormous potential for application. This review article aims to provide a comprehensive review of recent progress in VCM in different thin films. We first present a brief s…
A systematic study was conducted to investigate the morphology transitions that occur in polystyrene- block -poly(ethylene oxide) (PS- b -PEO) bottlebrush block copolymers (BBCP) upon varying PEO volume fraction ( f PEO ) from 22% to 81%. A series of PS- b -PEO BBCPs with different PEO side chain lengths were prepared…
Utilization of reversible interactions as sacrificial bonds in biopolymers is critical for the integral synthesis of mechanically superior biological materials. In this work, cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) reinforced covalent polyacrylamide (PAAm) composite hydrogels are immersed into multivalent cation (Ca 2+, Zn 2+, A…
Abstract The fabrication of van der Waals heterostructures, artificial materials assembled by individual stacking of 2D layers, is among the most promising directions in 2D materials research. Until now, the most widespread approach to stack 2D layers relies on deterministic placement methods, which are cumbersome and…
Weak interlayer interactions in van der Waals crystals facilitate their mechanical exfoliation to monolayer and few-layer two-dimensional materials, which often exhibit striking physical phenomena absent in their bulk form. Here we utilize mechanical exfoliation to produce a two-dimensional form of a mineral franckeit…
Many methods have been reported for synthesizing graphene oxide (GO) and graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) where a tedious operational procedure and long reaction time are generally required. Herein, a facile one‐pot solvothermal method that allows selective synthesis of pure GO and pure GOQDs, respectively is demon…
Adhesion behavior of superhydrophobic (SH) surfaces is an active research field related to various engineering applications in controlled microdroplet transportation, self-cleaning, deicing, biochemical separation, tissue engineering, and water harvesting. Herein, we report a facile approach to control droplet adhesio…
Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a layered material with high thermal and chemical stability ideal for ultrathin corrosion resistant coatings. Here, we report the corrosion resistance of Cu with hBN grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Cyclic voltammetry measurements reveal that hBN layers inhibit Cu corrosion an…
A set of biocompatible, biodegradable, and biofunctionalizable diffractive optical elements (DOEs) using silk proteins as the building materials is reported. The diffraction pattern of a DOE is highly sensitive to the surrounding environment and the structural integrity, offering numerous opportunities for biosensing…
Carbon dots are admirable fluorescent nanomaterials due to their low cost, high photostability, excellent biocompatibility, and environmental friendliness. Most conventional carbon dot fabrication approaches produce single-colored fluorescent material in the preparation process; different methods are therefore require…
Flexible 2D inorganic MoS 2 and organic g‐C 3 N 4 hybrid thin film photodetectors with tunable composition and photodetection properties are developed using simple solution processing. The hybrid films fabricated on paper substrate show broadband photodetection suitable for both UV and visible light with good responsi…
We evaluate and compare the performance and potential of GaAs and of wide and extreme bandgap semiconductors (SiC, GaN, Ga2O3, and diamond), relative to silicon, for power electronics applications. We examine their device structures and associated materials/process technologies and selectively review the recent experi…
Abstract Dielectric materials with high permittivity are strongly demanded for various technological applications. While polarization inherently exists in ferroelectric barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ), its high permittivity can only be achieved by chemical and/or structural modification. Here, we report the room-temperatur…
Here, we describe a simple method to prepare oil-repellent surfaces with inherent reactivity. Liquid-like copolymers with pendant reactive groups are covalently immobilized onto substrates via a sequential layer-by-layer method. The stable and transparent nanocoatings showed oil repellency to a broad range of organic…
pH-responsive oil-in-water Pickering emulsions were prepared simply by using negatively charged silica nanoparticles in combination with a trace amount of a zwitterionic carboxyl betaine surfactant as stabilizer. Emulsions are stable to coalescence at pH ≤ 5 but phase separate completely at pH > 8.5. In acidic solutio…
Highly crystalline ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized using a co-precipitation method. The morphology and optical properties of these nanoparticles are found to be highly sensitive to the growth parameters such as the concentration of reducing agent and annealing temperature. Indeed, the concentration of the reducing…
Layered materials held together by weak interactions including van der Waals forces, such as graphite, have attracted interest for both technological applications and fundamental physics in their layered form and as an isolated single-layer. Only a few dozen single-layer van der Waals solids have been subject to consi…
ZnO doped with different concentrations of Al2O3 (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 wt%) is prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction results revealed that the samples were crystalline with a hexagonal wurtzite phase. As the concentration of alumina (Al2O3) increases in ZnO, the X-ray diffraction peaks s…
