In the last decade, extensive studies have been conducted to understand the chemical and biological processes of nanoparticles and their effects on ecological functions and human health. This review focuses on the nature and properties of natural nanoparticles (NNPs) and their influence on the physical, chemical, and…
In this study, we developed a simple and versatile strategy to fabricate hierarchically structured lotus-leaf-like superhydrophobic thin films. The thin films are broadband antireflective, and the average transmittance of coated glass substrates reached greater than 95% in the wavelength range of 530-1340 nm, in contr…
In thin magnetic layers with structural inversion asymmetry and spin-orbit coupling, a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction arises at the interface. When a spin wave current ${\bf j}_m$ flows in a system with a homogeneous magnetization {\bf m}, this interaction produces an effective field-like torque on the form ${\bf T…
Photovoltaic energy conversion in photovoltaic cells has been analyzed by the detailed balance approach or by thermodynamic arguments. Here we introduce a network representation to analyze the performance of such systems once a suitable kinetic model (represented by a master equation in the space of the different syst…
The Minima Hopping global optimization method uses physically realizable molecular dynamics moves in combination with an energy feedback that guarantees the escape from any potential energy funnel. For the purpose of finding reactions pathways, we argue that Minima Hopping is particularly suitable as a guide through t…
From strain rate- and temperature-dependent deformation studies on nanocrystalline PdAu alloys with grain sizes $\leq$ 10nm, the shear activation volume $6b^3$, strain rate sensitivity 0.03 as well as the Helmholtz 0.9eV and Gibbs free energy of activation 0.2eV have been extracted. The close similarity to values foun…
We report first-principles calculations, using the full potential linear augmented plane wave method, on six lead halide semiconductors, namely, CH3NH3PbI3, CH3NH3PbBr3, CsPbX3 (X=Cl, Br, I), and RbPbI3. Exchange is modeled using the modified Becke-Johnson potential. With an appropriate choice of the parameter that de…
We solve a long-standing experimental discrepancy of NH$_3$BH$_3$, which---as a molecule---has a threefold rotational axis, but in its crystallized form at room temperature shows a fourfold symmetry about the same axis, creating a geometric incompatibility. To explain this peculiar experimental result, we study the dy…
We present a computational study on the topology, energetics, and structural deformations for a large number of experimentally observed defect configurations in graphene. We find that both the number of lost hexagonal carbon rings and introduced nonhexagonal rings increase linearly as a function of the vacancy order (…
We present a comparative study of the gain achievement in a waveguide whose active layer is constituted by a silica matrix containing silicon nanograins acting as sensitizer of either neodymium ions (Nd3+) or erbium ions (Er3+). By means of an auxiliary differential equation and finite difference time domain (ADE-FDTD…
Several x-compositions of the polycrystalline Dy3-xYxTaO7 system, crystallizing in the weberite-type structure, were synthesized and structurally characterized using Rietveld refinements based on X-ray diffraction data. In previous magnetic characterization of Dy3TaO7 (x = 0), with the same crystal structure, an antif…
Controlled fabrication of semiconductor nanostructures is an essential step in engineering of high performance photonic and optoelectronic devices. Diamond in particular has recently attracted considerable attention as a promising platform for quantum technologies, photonics and high resolution sensing applications. H…
Unintentionally released titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nTiO2) may co-occur in aquatic environments together with other stressors, such as, metal ions. The effects of P25-nTiO2 on the toxicity and uptake of the elements silver (Ag), arsenic (As) and copper (Cu) were assessed by applying a factorial test design. The t…
The optical absorption of monolayer MoS2 on top of one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPC) or metal films with spacer layers is theoretically investigated by extracting the permittivity of monolayer MoS2 from existing experimental results [K. F. Mak et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 136805 (2010)]. The absorption of graph…
A series of BF2 complexes of hydrazine-Schiff base linked bispyrrole have been prepared from a simple two-step reaction from commercially available substances and are highly fluorescent in solution, film, and solid states with larger Stokes shift and excellent photostabilities comparable or even super to those of thei…
A high performance Pd/C catalyst (Pd/C-PC) was successfully prepared by simple incipient wetness impregnation followed by the process of dry plasma reduction and calcination. Oxygen-containing group surface-fuctionalized activated carbon was used to absorb the palladium precursor PdCl42−, and small sized (1.92 ± 0.75…
Different surface sites of solid catalysts are usually quantified by dedicated chemisorption techniques from the adsorption capacity of probe molecules, assuming they specifically react with unique sites. In case of methanol synthesis catalysts, the Cu surface area is one of the crucial parameters in catalyst design a…
The weak adhesion of anodic TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNTAs) to the underlying Ti substrate compromises many promising applications. In this work, a compact oxide layer between TNTAs and Ti substrate is introduced by employing an additional anodization in a fluoride-free electrolyte. The additional anodization results in…
Microrheology was proposed almost twenty years ago as a technique to obtain rheological properties in soft matter from the microscopic motion of colloidal tracers used as probes, either freely diffusing in the host medium, or subjected to external forces. The former case is known as passive microrheology, and is based…
In doped ${\mathrm{SrTiO}}_{3}$ superconductivity persists down to an exceptionally low concentration of mobile electrons. This restricts the relevant energy window and possible pairing scenarios. We present a study of quantum oscillations and superconducting transition temperature ${T}_{c}$ as the carrier density is…
