Localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) of metal nanostructures are highly related to the shape, which could greatly enhance the light–matter interaction at nanoscale. Here, we investigate the LSPRs of gold nanostars corresponding to the unique morphology and demonstrate surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) a…
ABSTRACT The effects of graphene nanoplatelets (GPLs) and graphene nanosheets (GNSs) on fracture toughness and tensile properties of epoxy resin have been studied. A new technique for synthesis of GPLs based on changing magnetic field is developed. The transmission‐electron microscopy and the Raman spectroscopy were e…
Dispersive Fourier transform imaging is a powerful technique in achieving ultrafast imaging of wide areas. However, system power efficiency is often limited by dispersive components. Here, we demonstrate that a gap-plasmon metasurface (GPM) based blazed grating can be used in dispersive imaging applications to achieve…
3,3'-Diferrocenylazadipyrromethene (3) and corresponding difluoroboryl (azaBODIPY) complex (4) were synthesized in several steps from ferrocenecarbaldehyde, following the well-explored chalcone-type synthetic approach. The novel diiron complexes, in which ferrocene groups are directly connected to the α-pyrrolic posit…
[N(CH3)3H]2ZnCl4 has been studied by X-ray powder diffraction patterns, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and impedance spectroscopy. The [N(CH3)3H]2ZnCl4 hybrid compound is crystallized at room temperature (T ≈ 300 K) in the orthorhombic system with Pnma space group. Five phase transitions (T1 = 255 K, T2 = 28…
It is expected that the incidence of various adverse effects of anticancer agents maybe decreased owing to the reduced drug distribution in normal tissue. Anticancer agent incorporating nanoparticles including micelles and liposomes can evade non-specific capture by the reticuloendothelial system because the outer she…
We present the design, simulation, fabrication, and characterization of a continuously tunable Omega-ring terahertz metamaterial. The tunability of metamaterial is obtained by integrating microactuators into the metamaterial unit cell. Electrothermal actuation mechanism is used to provide higher tuning range, larger s…
Traditionally, Cu ion-based oxide materials are considered not functional as photocatalysts owing to their instability in the photoelectrochemical processes. Here, we report on the light-induced photochemical synthesis of Cu 2 O microcubes utilizing CuWO 4 as the precursor. It was found that under light irradiation an…
The synthesis and structural characterization of four related heterometallic complexes of formulas [Dy(III)2Co(III)2(OMe)2(teaH)2(O2CPh)4(MeOH)4](NO3)2·MeOH·H2O (1a) and [Dy(III)2Co(III)2(OMe)2(teaH)2(O2CPh)4(MeOH)2(NO3)2]·MeOH·H2O (1b), [Dy(III)2Co(III)2(OMe)2(dea)2(O2CPh)4(MeOH)4](NO3)2 (2), [Dy(III)2Co(III)2(OMe)2(…
The occupied and the unoccupied electronic structure of CeAg$_2$Ge$_2$ single crystal has been studied using high resolution photoemission and inverse photoemission spectroscopy respectively. High resolution photoemission reveals the clear signature of Ce $4f$ states in the occupied electronic structure which was not…
We theoretically investigate ferromagnetic ordering in magnetically doped solid-solution narrow-gap semiconductors with the strong spin-orbit interaction such as Cr-doped Bi$_2$(Se$_x$Te$_{1-x}$)$_3$. We compute the spontaneous magnetization of impurities and itinerant electrons, and estimate the critical temperature…
We describe the results of object kinetic Monte Carlo (OKMC) simulations of the annealing of primary cascade damage in bulk tungsten using a comprehensive database of cascades obtained from molecular dynamics [1] as a function of primary knock-on atom (PKA) energy and direction, and temperatures of 300, 1025 and 2050…
The tunability of the chemical potential for a wide range encompassing the Dirac point is important for many future devices based on topological insulators. Here we report a method to fabricate highly efficient top gates on epitaxially grown (Bi_{1-x}Sb_x)2Te3 topological insulator thin films without degrading the fil…
We have measured the bending-induced polarization of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 single crystals with compositions at the relaxor-ferroelectric phase boundary. The crystals display flexocoupling coefficients f > 100 V, an order of magnitude bigger than the theoretical upper limit set by the theories of Kogan and Ta…
The activation of plastic deformation mechanisms determines the mechanical behavior of crystalline materials. However, the complexity of plastic deformation and the lack of a unified theory of plasticity have seriously limited the exploration of the full capacity of metals. Current efforts to design high-strength stru…
Tuning of band gap of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has been a challenging problem due to its inherent chemical stability and inertness. In this work, we report the changes in band gaps in a few layers of chemical vapor deposition processed as-grown h-BN using a simple oxygen plasma treatment. Optical absorption spec…
Electronic level alignment at the interface between an adsorbed molecular layer and a semiconducting substrate determines the activity and efficiency of many photocatalytic materials. Standard density functional theory (DFT) based methods have proven unable to provide a quantitative description of this level alignment…
Electronic level alignment at the interface between an adsorbed molecular layer and a semiconducting substrate determines the activity and efficiency of many photocatalytic materials. We perform $G_0W_0$ calculations to determine the coverage dependence of the level alignment for a prototypical photocatalytic interfac…
We propose an efficient basis expansion for electron orbitals to describe real-time electron dynamics in crystalline solids. Although a conventional grid representation in the three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates works robustly, it requires a large amount of computational resources. To reduce computational costs, w…
SrTiO$_{3}$ is known to be an incipient ferroelectric. It is thought that ferroelectric stability in SrTiO$_{3}$ is suppressed by a delicate competition with quantum fluctuation and antiferrodistortion. The ferroelectric phase can, however, be stabilized by doping, isotope manipulation and strain engineering etc. Till…
