A microscopic theory for the interaction of carriers with LO phonons is used to study the ultrafast carrier dynamics in nitride-based semiconductor quantum dots. It is shown that the efficiency of scattering processes is directly linked to quasi-particle renormalizations. The electronic states of the interacting syste…
Spin-dependent tunneling through an indirect bandgap barrier like the GaAs/AlAs/GaAs heterostructure along [001] direction is studied by the tight-binding method. The tunneling is characterized by the proportionality of the Dresselhaus Hamiltonians at $Γ$ and $X$ points in the barrier and by Fano resonances. The prese…
Gold nanoparticle and gold/semiconductor nanocomposite thin films have been deposited using aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD). A preformed gold colloid in toluene was used as a precursor to deposit gold films onto silica glass. These nanoparticle films showed the characteristic plasmon absorption of Au…
In this article, we describe the formation of carbon nanotube (CNT)-gold nanoparticle composites in aqueous solution using 1-pyrenemethylamine (Py-CH2NH2) as the interlinker. The alkylamine substituent of 1-pyrenemethylamine binds to a gold nanoparticle, while the pyrene chromophore is noncovalently attached to the si…
Using first principles simulations we perform a detailed study of the structural, electronic and transport properties of monoatomic platinum chains, sandwiched between platinum electrodes. First we demonstrate that the most stable atomic configuration corresponds to a zigzag arrangement that gradually straightens as t…
Investigations of electrical properties of long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) arrays exposed to gamma-radiation have been performed. Resistance-area product characteristics of LWIR n{+}-p photodiodes have been investigated using microprobe technique at T=78 K before and after an exposure t…
The lanthanide stannates, Ln2Sn2O7, Ln=La-Lu and Y, have the isometric pyrochlore structure, A2B2O7, and their structural properties have been refined by Rietveld analysis of powder neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction data. In this study, the enthalpies of formation of selected stannate pyrochlores, Ln=La, Nd, S…
Highly dispersed and debundled carbon nanotubes were prepared in an aqueous solution of lysozyme using a combination of ultrasonication and ultracentrifugation. The product is a pH-sensitive dispersion, which remains in a highly dispersed state at pH<8 and pH>11, but in an aggregated state at pH 8-11. Photoluminescenc…
A wet and dry paper! Tungsten oxide films prepared by a facile electrochemical deposition process provide the first example of a dual surface functionality. The reversible switch of wettability between superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity is realized by alternating irradiation with UV light and storage in the d…
Structural, electrical, and thermal transport properties of CoSb 3 partially filled with indium are reported. Polycrystalline samples of In x Co 4 Sb 12 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) were prepared by solid-state reaction under a gas mixture of 5% H 2 and 95% Ar. The solubility limit of the indium filling voids in CoSb 3 was found to…
Changes in the work function $\ensuremath{\Phi}$ of metal surfaces upon deposition of ultrathin oxide films have been studied by means of band structure density functional theory calculations. Four systems have been considered: $\mathrm{MgO}∕\mathrm{Ag}(100)$, $\mathrm{MgO}∕\mathrm{Mo}(100)$, ${\mathrm{TiO}}_{2}∕\math…
Partially coating perpendicularly aligned carbon nanotube arrays with an appropriate polymer thin film along their tube length provides a novel concept for developing new sensors of high sensitivity, good selectivity, and excellent environmental stability for the detection of a broad class of chemical vapors with low…
Highly porous fibers of various polymers were created by electrospinning with a modified collector. A bath of liquid nitrogen was used to freeze the fibers, inducing a phase separation between the polymer and the solvent. When the solvent was removed in vacuo, highly porous fibers were obtained. Poly(styrene), poly(ac…
When polyelectrolyte-neutral block copolymers are mixed in aqueous solutions with oppositely charged species, stable complexes are found to form spontaneously. The mechanism is based on electrostatics and on the compensation between the opposite charges. Electrostatic complexes exhibit a core-shell microstructure. In…
Anisotropic II-VI semiconductor nanocrystals and nanoparticles have become important building blocks for (potential) nanotechnological applications. Even though a wide variety of differently shaped nanoparticles of this class can be prepared, the underlying mechanisms are mostly not fully understood. This Review artic…
This work reports on structural and magnetic investigations of the Heusler compound Co2FeSi. X-ray diffraction and Mößbauer spectrometry indicate an ordered L21 structure. Magnetic measurements by means of x-ray magnetic circular dichroism and magnetometry revealed that this compound is, currently, the material with t…
During the last years, several groups across the world have concentrated on the adaptation and further development of electrospinning (e‐spinning) to enable ceramic fiber synthesis. Thus far, more than 20 ceramic systems have been synthesized as micro‐ and nanofibers. These fibers can be amorphous, polycrystalline, de…
Poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer-based multifunctional cancer therapeutic conjugates have been designed and synthesized. The primary amino groups on the surface of the generation 5 (G5) PAMAM dendrimer were neutralized through partial acetylation, providing enhanced solubility of the dendrimer (in conjugation of FIT…
Abstract Poly( N‐ isopropylacrylamide ‐co‐ sodium acrylate) copolymer brushes grafted on SiO 2 ‐coated quartz crystal surface were prepared with a surface‐immobilized initiator. The collapse and swelling of the thermally sensitive copolymer brushes in water were studied with quartz crystal microbalance in situ . The f…
Superactivated carbon and carbon nanotubes are both considered potential hydrogen carriers. Adsorption isotherms of H2 on activated carbon AX-21 and multi-wall carbon nanotubes were collected with a volumetric method for the temperature range of 77, 233–298 K and pressures up to 7 or 10 MPa. Based on the experimental…
