We report a quantitative wavelength-resolved analysis (460–600 nm) of the two-photon absorption (2PA) cross-section of water-soluble MPA-capped ZnS quantum dots (QDs). For that, we employed the open-aperture Z -scan technique using an amplified femtosecond laser system operating at low repetition rate (1 kHz). MPA-cap…

A series of phase separated La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 manganite samples with different grain sizes were studied by ac susceptibility, direct magnetocaloric effect (ΔT), and heat capacity measurements. The ac susceptibility shows that fractions of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases and consequently the phase separated sta…

VO2 films were deposited on Pt (111)/TiO2/SiO2/Si (001) substrates by means of a pulsed laser deposition technique. An x-ray diffraction peak at 2θ = 39.9° was deconvoluted into two pseudo-Voigt profiles of Pt (111) and VOx-originated components. The VOx diffraction peak was more obvious in a VOx/Pt (111)/Al2O3 (0001)…

The metal-free click polymerizations (MFCPs) of activated alkynes and azides have become a powerful technique for the preparation of functional polytriazoles. Recently, a new MFCP of activated azide and alkyne has been established, but no functional polytriazole is prepared. In this paper, polytriazole PIa with aggreg…

Porous silk fibroin/sodium alginate hybrid scaffolds were prepared through lyophilization method. Hybrid scaffolds were characterized for morphological and functional properties related to different mixture ratios between silk fibroin and sodium alginate. The silk fibroin/sodium alginate hybrid scaffolds showed a thin…

Using the framework of geometry-based fundamental-measure theory, we develop a classical density functional for hard polyhedra and their mixtures and apply it to inhomogeneous fluids of Platonic solids near a hard wall. As revealed by Monte Carlo simulations, the faceted shape of the polyhedra leads to complex layerin…

Electrically activated doping of boron (B) atoms into the Si-nanocrystals (Si-NCs) embedded silicon oxide film is achieved by co-sputtering technique following with the annealing treatment. The evolution of the size, the shape, and the density of Si-NCs with the doping of B atoms is investigated. The observation of x-…

Evolved gas analysis (EGA) from thermal analyzers such as thermogravimetry (TG) or simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) which refers to simultaneous TG–DSC is well established since it greatly enhances the value of TG or TG–DSC results. The sensitive and selective FT-IR technique is in particular useful for the analysi…

The structure and dynamics of a hyperbranched polyesteramide (Hybrane S 1200) polymer and its nanocomposites with natural montmorillonite (Na + –MMT) are investigated to offer a detailed picture of its behavior in bulk and under confinement. In bulk, the behavior is probed by quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) wi…

In the present work in experiments in a diamond anvil cell at room temperature we studied the behavior of glassy carbon under high pressure up to 60 GPa by means of in situ Raman spectroscopy. Raman bands typical for glassy carbon were clearly observed in the entire pressure interval. We did not see any noticeable cha…

Organothiol (OT) adsorption onto gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and gold powder was studied in 50% aqueous ethanol and in water. The OT solution rapidly acidifies upon addition of AuNPs or Au powder, and the number of protons released into the solution is proportional to the amount of OT adsorbed onto the gold surface. Th…

Magnetoelectric (ME) coupling (αE) in piezoelectric:magnetostrictive composites is mediated through mechanical strain at their interfaces. Incorporating magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) in piezoelectric matrix enhances interfacial area between the two phases and therefore large αE can be expected. Here, we present electri…
