The longitudinal Seebeck coefficient of the charge-ordered layered crystals in a strong quantizing magnetic field normal to layers plane has been determined. The conditions whereby charge ordering parameter and chemical potential are oscillating functions of magnetic field induction are considered. The longitudinal Se…
We compare two recently developed methods to determine crystal nucleation rates in stirred solutions by using isonicotinamide (INA) in ethanol as an example. The two developed methods make use of the stochastic nature of crystal nucleation, which is reflected in induction time and metastable zone width variations meas…
Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are extensively used as an antibacterial additive in commercial products and their release has caused environmental risk. However, conventional methods for the toxicity detection of Ag NPs are very time consuming and the mechanisms of action are not clear. We developed a new, in situ, rap…
NiFe2O4 and ZnFe2O4 ferrites have been prepared by soft mechanochemical synthesis. The formation of spinel phase and crystal structure of sintered powders were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and transmission microscopy. In order to confirm phase formation and cation arrangement, Mössbauer measureme…
We report an experimental and computational study of single-crystal NdFeO${}_{3}$, which features two inequivalent magnetic sublattices, namely, Fe and Nd sublattices that are coupled in an antiparallel fashion. This paper reveals that a strong interaction between 3$d$ and 4$f$ electrons of the two sublattices along w…
Doping of graphene with heteroatoms is an effective way to tailor its properties. Here we describe a simple and scalable method of doping graphene lattice with sulfur atoms during the thermal exfoliation process of graphite oxides. The graphite oxides were first prepared by Staudenmaier, Hofmann, and Hummers methods f…
A new kind of nitrogen-doped graphene/carbon nanotube nanocomposite can be synthesized by a facile hydrothermal process under mild conditions, which exhibits synergistically enhanced electrochemical activity for the oxygen reduction reaction. This research provides a new route to access a metal-free electrocatalyst wi…
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is used to compare the composition as a function of depth of as-grown zinc oxide (ZnO) films heavily doped with Ga and similar samples annealed in air for 10 min at 600°C, with particular attention given to the near-surface region. Films are grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD)…
Abstract X‐ray micro‐computed tomography (μCT) is used to generate 3D‐ and 2D‐imaging reconstruction of the meso‐structure of high‐density polyethylene (HDPE)/short hemp fibre composites subjected to in situ tensile testing. These composites exhibit marked fibre/matrix debonding mechanisms starting at low strain level…
Industrial residues formed in the industrial production of benzoic acid by cobalt-catalyzed oxidation of toluene are traditionally disposed as waste materials and often burnt or buried. It therefore may become a significant source of environmental pollution. In this report, we describe simple techniques to obtain high…
Copper forms a porous oxide, allowing the formation of oxide layers up to tens of microns thick to be created at modest processing temperatures. In this work, the controlled oxidation of copper is employed within an all-metal electroplating process to create electrically insulating, structural posts and beams. This ca…
The analysis on the recovery performance and characteristics in shape memory effects is helpful for the optimal design and engineering applications of shape memory polymers and their composites. To investigate the relationships among recovery performance, material parameters, and loading conditions, by taking aliphati…
We use kinetic Monte Carlo simulation based on the bond fluctuation model to investigate the dynamics of phase separation in immiscible 80/20 A/B binary polymer blends, comprising 80% and 20% of A and B components, respectively, in the presence of ≈4.92% 30-mer protein-like copolymer (PLC) made of C and D segments. Th…
Among Alan Cottrell’s many extraordinary talents was that of an inspirational teacher. He had a masterful ability to explain the underlying physics of the Science of Materials and at the same time to simplify and to present the big picture. His teaching-texts live on, still among the clearest and most insightful expos…
The dielectric properties of lead lanthanum zirconate titanate (PLZT) thin films on platinized silicon (Pt/Si) with and without ZrO2 insertion layers were investigated in the temperature range from 20 °C to 300 °C. Permittivity, dielectric loss tangent, and tunability were reduced for the samples with ZrO2 insertion l…
Sediment samples originally collected in Oran, Algeria and later dated to the Miocene from the Ehrenberg Collection were examined for specimens of Paralia sulcata(Ehrenberg) Cleve. Two morphologically distinct entities fitting the currently widely used definition of the species were found. In this material, they were…
The incomplete endothelialization of especially small-caliber vascular prostheses after implantation in patients is a major disadvantage in cardiovascular interventions. The lack of an endothelium leads to the occurrence of thrombosis at the luminal surface of artificial vascular prostheses. Thus, the development of n…
Fabricating industrial-scale photoreactive composite materials containing living cells, requires a deposition strategy that unifies colloid science and cell biology. Convective assembly can rapidly deposit suspended particles, including whole cells and waterborne latex polymer particles into thin (<10 µm thick), organ…
We report computations of excitation energies, magnetizabilities, and current strengths for the dianion, tetraanion, and hexaanion of the previously introduced altan –corannulene, a molecule designed to hold a strong paratropic current. None of these ions has a fully diatropic or paratropic pattern: dianion and tetraa…
In this study, the mechanical properties and non‐isothermal degradation kinetics of polypropylene (PP), high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) with dilauroyl peroxide and their blends in different mixture ratios were investigated. The effects of adding dilauroyl peroxide (0–0.20 wt%) on the mechanical and thermal properties…
