We show how nitrogen-vacancy centers can be used to detect the presence of weak magnetic fields, that is, to find out whether a magnetic field, about which we may not have complete information, is actually present or not. The solution to this problem comes from quantum state discrimination theory. The effect of decohe…

The absorption of pesticide endosulfan on the surface of gold nanoparticles results from the formation of micrometric structures (1-10 μm) with irregular shape because of the aggregation of individual particles. Such aggregation of gold nanoparticles after absorption of pesticide shows a surface-enhanced Raman scatter…

Symmetric poly(styrene- b -methyl methacrylate) block copolymers (BCP) with total molecular weights of 129–412 kg/mol were blended with a symmetric 44 kg/mol BCP. This set of polymers covers the parameter space of molecular weight ratios of the large vs small BCP in the pair, R = M n,L / M n,S from 2.9 to 9.4. The ble…

We apply the methods of transformation optics to theoretical descriptions of spacetimes that support closed null geodesic curves. The metric used is based on frame dragging spacetimes, such as the van Stockum dust or the Kerr black hole. Through transformation optics, this metric is analogous to a material that in the…

Abstract Switchable surface redox chemistry is demonstrated in gold@iron/iron oxide core–shell nanoparticles with ambient oxidation and plasmon‐mediated reduction to modulate the oxidation state of shell layers. The iron shell can be oxidized to iron oxide through ambient oxidation, leading to an enhancement and red‐s…

The nonoriented (NO) silicon steel sheet's deformation caused by magnetostriction is one of the main reasons for the vibration and noise of electrical machine, and the presence of higher harmonics of magnetic field may make vibration and noise more serious. In this paper, in order to improve the measurement accuracy o…

ABSTRACT The influence of the incorporation of tris(nonylphenyl) phosphite (TNPP) as a chain extender on the morphology and thermal stability of poly(hydroxybutyrate‐ co ‐hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)/clay nanocomposites obtained by melt mixing has been studied. Two different clays have been used: a laminar organomodified m…

The effect of adding CO 2 to the matrix gas on the rate of sono-oxidation was examined. It is already known that CO 2 dissolved in water prevents the sonochemical reaction because of the suppression of cavitation intensity. In this study, however, it was observed that the rate of sono-oxidation of I − ions in water in…

Brownmillerite Ca2MnAlO5 has an exceptional capability to robustly adsorb half-molecules of oxygen and form Ca2MnAlO5.5. To utilize this unique property to regulate oxygen-involved reactions, it is crucial to match the oxygen release-intake equilibrium with targeted reaction conditions. Here we perform a comprehensive…

The valence and conduction band offsets of Zn1−xCdxO/ZnO hetero-junctions deposited by pulsed laser deposition technique were estimated by X-ray photoelectron, valence band, and UV-visible spectroscopy. Type-II band alignment (staggered gap) with ratios of conduction band to valence band offsets (ΔEC/ΔEV) was found to…

We present a new method to handle a representative elementary volume (REV) with a mixture of columnar and equiaxed grains in ingot castings in the framework of an Eulerian volume averaged model. The multiscale model is based on a previously established fully equiaxed model. It consists of a three-phase (extra-granular…

N-doped graphene displays many interesting properties compared with pristine graphene, which makes it a potential candidate in many applications. Here, we report that the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillation effect in graphene can be enhanced by N-doping. We show that the amplitude of the SdH oscillation increases with…

Alkaline-Surfactant-Polymer flooding is a tertiary enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method designed to lower interfacial tension (IFT), water wet the formation, and decrease water mobility to produce residual oil. The ASP flood uses a combination of alkali, surfactant, and polymer to achieve these results. The use of these…
