Metallic nanostructures permit controlling various photophysical processes by coupling photons with plasmonic oscillation of electrons confined in the tailored nanostructures. One example is hyperbolic metamaterial (HMM) leading to an enhanced spontaneous emission rate of emitters located nearby. Noting that emission…
We compare the characteristics of the intersubband quantum-well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) based on the traditional semiconductor materials and the interband graphene-layer infrared photodetectors (GLIPs) based on van der Waals heterostructures. We show that the responsivity and dark-current-limited detectivity o…
M-type strontium ferrites (Sr1-xGdxFe12-xCuxO19, x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20) doped with equivalent ions were synthesized via the solid phase method. The crystallographic structure, morphology and magnetic properties of samples were investigated using x-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (S…
Stabilized Bi 2 O 3 has gained a considerable amount of attention as a solid electrolyte material for low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells due to its superior oxygen-ion conductivity at the temperature of relevance (≤500 °C). Despite many research efforts to measure the transport properties of stabilized Bi 2 O 3, t…
Abstract Recently CeOBiS 2 system without any fluorine doping is found to show superconductivity posing question on its origin. Using space resolved ARPES we have found a metallic phase embedded in the morphological defects and at the sample edges of stoichiometric CeOBiS 2 . While bulk of the sample is semiconducting…
ABSTRACT Hyperbranched polymers have been found effective in controlling the dispersibility of carbon nanotubes in aqueous solutions. In this study, hyperbranched polylysine (HBPL) was synthesized using lysine and N,N ′‐methylenebisacrylamide as precursors via Michael addition. The HBPL then was used to noncovalently…
One of the alluring aspects of liquid crystals (LCs) is their readily controllable self-assembly behavior, leading to comprehension of complex topological structures and practical patterning applications. Here, we report on manipulating various kinds of topological defects by adopting an imprinted polymer-based soft m…
With the aim of studying the influence of synthesis parameters in structural and magnetic properties of cobalt-doped magnetite nanoparticles, Fe3−xCoxO4 (0 < x < 0.15) samples were synthetized by thermal decomposition method at different reaction times (30–120 min). The Co ferrite nanoparticles are monodisperse…
Abstract We report a simple one‐pot method for the rapid preparation of sub‐10 nm pure hexagonal (β‐phase) NaYF 4 ‐based upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs). Using Therminol ® 66 as a co‐solvent, monodisperse UCNPs could be obtained in unusually short reaction times. By varying the reaction time and reaction temperatur…
Compared to many other metal oxides, anatase TiO 2 shows relatively lower reactivity toward carboxylic acid anchor groups. The latter is crucial for applications, for example, in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), where the most used dyes bind to the metal oxide surface through carboxylic acid terminations. To improv…
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) with myriads of compositions and morphologies have been synthesized and characterized in recent years. For wüstite Fe x O, however, obtaining phase-pure NPs with homogeneous morphologies have remained challenging. Herein, we report the co…
Freestanding and single-crystal BiFeO 3 (BFO) nanoplates have been successfully synthesized by a fluoride ion-assisted hydrothermal method, and the thickness of the nanoplates can be effectively tailored from 80 to 380 nm by the concentration of fluoride ions. It is revealed that BFO nanoplates grew via an oriented at…
Shape memory properties of PET (polyethylene-terephthalate) foams have been evaluated for two different foam densities. Samples were subjected to multiple memory-recovery cycles along three different directions to measure the effect of foam anisotropy on static mechanical and shape memory properties. The memory cycle…
Abstract Herein, we introduce a novel approach to achieve real‐time control over the hot‐electron injection process in metal–semiconductor photocatalysts. Such functionality is attained through the design of a hybrid nanocomposite in which plasmonic Au nanorods and TiO 2 nanoparticles are synergistically integrated wi…
Abstract By combining optical imaging, Raman spectroscopy, kelvin probe force microscopy (KFPM), and photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM), we show that graphene’s layer orientation, as well as layer thickness, measurably changes the surface potential (Φ). Detailed mapping of variable-thickness, rotationally-faulte…
Molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations of Bragg and diffuse X-ray scattering provide a means of obtaining experimentally validated models of protein conformational ensembles. This paper shows that compared with a single periodic unit-cell model, the accuracy of simulating diffuse scattering is increased when the crystal…
Resonant waveguide gratings (RWGs) are thin-film structures, where coupled modes interfere with the diffracted incoming wave and produce strong angular and spectral filtering. The combination of two finite-length and impedance matched RWGs allows the creation of a passive beam steering element, which is compatible wit…
We investigated and compared three different methods for synthesizing Ag/PVA nanofibers by effectively dispersing and loading Ag particles onto PVA nanofibers and preventing the detachment of Ag from the nanofibers. The three methods were: (a) the solution reduction method (Method 1) in which the reduction of Ag + was…
Abstract For the handling of high level nuclear waste (HLW), new glass formulations with a high waste capacity and an enhanced thermal stability, chemical durability, and processability are under consideration. This study focuses on the durability of peraluminous glasses in the SiO 2 –Al 2 O 3 –B 2 O 3 –Na 2 O–CaO–La…
This review updates recent progress in the understanding of the behaviour of polymers at surfaces and interfaces, highlighting examples in the areas of wetting, dewetting, crystallization, and 'smart' materials. Recent developments in analysis tools have yielded a large increase in the study of biological systems, and…
