We show the growth of high-quality epitaxial graphene on 6$H$-SiC with Raman signatures comparable to exfoliated flakes. We ascribe the remaining low-quality transport properties to the strong electron-phonon coupling to two low-energy phonon modes at 70 and 16 meV. The coupling of these modes is enhanced by the defec…

In this paper, we propose a tunable all optical switch based on metamaterial structure enhanced with metal nanocomposite layer which has adjustable optical properties and strong nonlinear Kerr effect. The results demonstrate an ultrafast, low threshold and high extinction ratio all optical switch with tunable frequenc…

Abstract The impact of grafted surface of cellulose fibers on the mechanical and physical properties of fiber-cement composites (FCC) has been investigated. The grafting was performed with n -octadecyl isocyanate [i.e., with an aliphatic isocyanate (AI)], with the intention to protect the cellulose fiber from alkali d…

Abstract Sintering and consequent deactivation in supported metal catalysts is a severe problem encountered in heterogeneous catalysis. This problem can be addressed by encapsulating active metal nanoparticles within inert oxides such as silica, provided the oxide shell is porous to enable access of reactant molecules…

The aim of this research is to prepare a biomaterial to be used in health care. A series of hydrogels based on polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP)/κ-Carrageenan (KC) has been prepared by radiation technique. PVP (5-15%) were mixed with ΚC (2%) and irradiated by gamma rays at the doses from 25 kGy to 35 kGy (dose rate 7 kGy/h)…

We demonstrate active control of plasmonic bandgap on a metallic photonic crystal slab using thermo-optic effects. The Au grating, which is milled by focused-ion beam on a glass substrate, is designed to exhibit an extraordinary optical transmission and a sharp transitional edge for high modulation efficiency. Only a…

Shining a nanobeacon: Single-label nanobeacon sensors were constructed by using graphitic carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) and their oxides as energy acceptors (see figure; FRET=fluorescence resonance energy transfer). Excellent sensing performances were achieved with simplified operation and lowered cost.

The internal organization of a fifth-generation dendronized polymer (PG5) has been investigated by atomistic molecular dynamics simulations in a vacuum. This study reveals an exceptional behavior of PG5 within the homologous series of g-generation PGg polymers. Three molecular configurations, which present a heterogen…

Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions were used to synthesize novel π-conjugated oligothienylene-ethynylene dendrons and their corresponding terpyridine-based ligands. Their complexation with Ru(II) led to interesting novel metallodendrimers with rich spectroscopic properties. All new compounds were fully…

We demonstrate that the inclusion of van der Waals dispersive interaction sensibly improves the prediction of lattice constants by density functional theory in iron-chalcogenides (FeCh) superconductor compounds, namely FeSe and FeTe. We show how generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for the exchange correlation pot…

Surface pyroelectricity: Centrosymmetric crystals of α-glycine display an anomalous quadrupole-like pyroelectric current. This observation implies the formation of water–glycine hybrid polar layers at the (010) faces of the α-glycine crystals (see picture).
