We present infrared absorption studies of solid hydrogen deuteride to pressures as high as 340 GPa ($100\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GPa}=1\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{Mbar}$) in a diamond anvil cell and temperatures in the range 5--295 K. Above 198 GPa the HD sample transforms to a mixture of HD, ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$, and ${\mat…
Thermally activated delayed fluorescence has been reported in a number of OLED emitter materials engineered to have low singlet-triplet energy gaps. Here we derive closed solutions for steady state and transient behaviors, and apply these results to obtain the singlet and triplet relaxation, forward and reverse crossi…
Standard X-ray crystallography methods use free-atom models to calculate mean unit cell charge densities. Real molecules, however, have shared charge that is not captured accurately using free-atom models. To address this limitation, a charge density model of crystalline urea was calculated using high-level quantum th…
Skyrmions are topologically protected entities in magnetic materials which have the potential to be used in spintronics for information storage and processing. However, Skyrmions in ferromagnets have some intrinsic difficulties which must be overcome to use them for spintronic applications, such as the inability to mo…
Energetics of Cs defects at Sigma3 grain boundaries of 3C-SiC has been studied using density functional theory to understand the role of the grain boundaries in Cs diffusion and its eventual release from the tristructural isotropic fuel particles (TRISO). Cs is shown to be much more stable at the Sigma3 grain boundary…
The electronic structure of layered molybdenum trioxide MoO 3 is highly sensitive to changes in oxygen stoichiometry as Mo 6+ has an empty 4d shell. Applications of MoO 3 are responsive to small changes in vacancy concentration, with some functions relying on a narrow window of oxygen nonstoichiometry. Difficulties in…
The kinetics of aldol condensation of acetaldehyde were studied over anatase titania (TiO 2 ), hydroxyapatite (HAP), and magnesia (MgO). Reactions were carried out in a fixed-bed reactor with a total system pressure of 220 kPa at temperatures between 533 and 633 K and acetaldehyde partial pressures between 0.05 and 50…
Ultralong, highly oriented Ni nanowire arrays are used as the electrode scaffold to support metal-oxide- and conductive-polymer-based electrode materials with a high mass loading; the as-obtained asymmetric supercapacitor can be compressed by fourfold and exhibits superior energy and power densities with ultrahigh cyc…
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs), as a new class of carbon nanomaterials, have attracted considerable interest because of their low cost, low toxicity, chemical inertness, superiority in water solubility, ease of functionalization and simple synthetic routes. In recent years, the excellent light harvesting capability and un…
Recently, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effects have been widely used to construct photocatalysts which are active in the visible spectral region. Such plasmonic photocatalysts usually comprise a semiconductor material transparent in the visible range (such as TiO2) and plasmonic nano-objects (e.g., Au nanoparticles…
The main features of the triple helical structure of collagen were deduced in the mid-1950s from fibre X-ray diffraction of tendons. Yet, the resulting models only could offer an average description of the molecular conformation. A critical advance came about 20 years later with the chemical synthesis of sufficiently…
In this review, an overview of polymer and carbon nanotube composite is presented with special emphasis on their applications in technical fields. The general applications of polymer/carbon nanotube nanocomposite in actuators, sensors, sporting goods, and so on have been discussed. In addition, special features of epo…
One of the major challenges in applying nanomedicines to cancer therapy is their low interstitial diffusion in solid tumors. Although the modification of nanocarrier surfaces with enzymes that degrade extracellular matrix is a promising strategy to improve nanocarrier diffusion in tumors, it remains challenging to app…
Enzyme mimics or artificial enzymes are a class of catalysts that have been actively pursued for decades and have heralded much interest as potentially viable alternatives to natural enzymes. Aside from having catalytic activities similar to their natural counterparts, enzyme mimics have the desired advantages of tuna…
Highly dispersed monometallic Ru nanoparticles can be successfully synthesized on TiO 2 supports for effective hydrogen production from ammonia–borane (NH 3 ·BH 3; AB). The choice of support material and reduction methods were confirmed to significantly influence the size of the Ru nanoparticles, and smaller sizes of…
Driven by the prospective applications of thermoelectric materials, massive efforts have been dedicated to enhancing the conversion efficiency. The latter is governed by the figure of merit (ZT), which is proportional to the power factor (S(2)σ) and inversely proportional to the thermal conductivity (κ). Here, we demo…
Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) with a large spin reversal barrier have been recognized to exhibit slow magnetic relaxation that can lead to a magnetic hysteresis loop. Synthesis of highly stable SMMs with both large energy barriers and significantly slow relaxation times is challenging. Here, we report two highly stab…

Passivation is a chemical process in which the electrochemical condition of passivity is gained on the surface of metal alloys. Biomedical AISI 316LVM stainless steel (SS) can be passivized by means of nitric acid immersion in order to improve a protective oxide layer on the surface and consequently increase corrosion…
We have studied the nonlinear optical properties and supercontinuum spectrum of solutions of carbon quantum dots prepared by a hydrothermal process from chitin and then coated with titania. The titania coating has been shown to have an activating effect on the carbon quantum dots, enhancing supercontinuum generation i…
