Abstract In Bi 2 Te 3 ‐based materials charge‐carrier densities are determined by antisite defects and controlling these defects is a key issue for thermoelectric and topological insulator materials. Bi‐Te thin films with high‐quality thermoelectric properties are deposited using a nano‐alloying approach by molecular…
Surface functionalization of epitaxial graphene overlayers on 6H-SiC(0001) has been attempted through thermal reactions in NH3. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and micro-region low energy electron diffraction results show that a significant amount of N is present at the NH3-treated graphene surface, which results in…
Most current research on nanocomposites has focused on their bulk attributes, i.e., electrical, microwave, thermal, and mechanical properties. In practical applications, surface properties such as robustness against environmental contamination are critical design considerations if intrinsic properties are to be mainta…
The fate of engineered nanoparticles in environmental systems is controlled by changes in colloidal stability and their interaction with different environmental surfaces. Little is known about nanoparticle-surface interactions on the basis of sorption isotherms under quasi-equilibrium conditions, although sorption iso…
ABSTRACT Phenolic foams reinforced with pristine and functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were fabricated to develop fire‐resistant materials with improved mechanical properties. The influences of the contents of carboxyl multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs‐COOH) and of MWCNTs types on the compressiv…
Broken thin brittle plates like windows and windshields are ubiquitous in our environment. When impacted locally, they typically present a pattern of cracks extending radially outward from the impact point. We study the variation of the pattern of cracks by performing controlled transverse impacts on brittle plates ov…
A continuous and wide range control of the diameter (1.9-3.2 nm) and density (0.03-0.11 g cm(-3) ) of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) forests is demonstrated by decoupling the catalyst formation and SWNT growth processes. Specifically, by managing the catalyst formation temperature and H2 exposure, the redistribu…
A series of adamantyl-modified glycodendrimers ( mPPI-Gx-AdaA-C ) was prepared in a two-step synthesis using two efficient reactions: (1) urea bond formation from amine and isocyanate and (2) reductive amination. 1 H NMR spectroscopy (host guest titration and ROESY experiments) was used to evaluate the graded effect o…
A tetradentate bis(pyridylpyrazolate) chelate, L, is assembled by connecting two bidentate 3-(trifluoromethyl)-5-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole chelates at the 6 position of the pyridyl fragment with a phenylamido appendage. This chelate was then utilized in the synthesis of three osmium(II) complexes, namely, [Os(L)(CO)2] (4),…
We study the electronic properties of rippled freestanding graphene membranes under central load from a sharp tip. To that end, we develop a gauge field theory on a honeycomb lattice valid beyond the continuum theory. Based on the proper phase conjugation of the tight-binding pseudospin Hamiltonian, we develop a metho…
Platinum nanoparticles (PNPs) were synthesized by chemical reduction of potassium hexachloroplatinate (IV) with trisodium citrate under vigorous stirring and addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate as stabilizer reagent. Reducing agent was chosen depending on the oxidation reactions and potential values of the chemical mat…
Combined density functional theory and empirical-potential calculations are performed to investigate the lowest-energy sites and migration mechanisms of He in various $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-Fe grain boundaries (GBs). Before the defect calculations, we show that structural optimizations, including simulated annealing an…
Abstract Magnesium‐based metallic glasses (MMGs) show intriguing potentials for application as implantable biomaterials owing to their disordered atomic structure, good biodegradability, low elastic modulus, high strength, and large elasticity. However, despite of all these advantages, their brittleness is their Achil…
Pyrolysis at 900 °C under an inert atmosphere of alginate, a natural widely available biopolymer, renders a graphitic carbon that upon ablation by exposure to a pulsed 532 nm laser (7 ns, 50 mJ pulse(-1)) in acetonitrile, water, and other solvents leads to the formation of multilayer graphitic quantum dots. The dimens…
It has been shown in recent experiments that the Cu(111) surface doped by a small amount of Pd atoms can exhibit excellent catalytic performance toward the dissociation of H 2 molecules. Here we performed systematic first-principles calculations to investigate the corresponding mechanism. Our results clearly demonstra…
Nanomaterials possess unusually high surface area-to-volume ratios and surface-determined physicochemical properties. It is essential to understand their surface-dependent toxicity in order to rationally design biocompatible nanomaterials for a wide variety of applications. In this study, we have functionalized the su…
The mechanical response of solids depends on temperature, because the way atoms and molecules respond collectively to deformation is affected at various levels by thermal motion. This is a fundamental problem of solid state science and plays a crucial role in materials science. In glasses, the vanishing of shear rigid…
In this work, we consider the possibility of building magnetic analog logic devices utilizing spin wave interference for special task data processing. As an example, we consider a multi-terminal magnonic matrix switch comprising multiferroic elements and a two-dimensional grid of magnetic waveguides connected via four…
We present a numerical study on the phase diagram for a simple model of Janus colloids, including ordered and disordered structures. Using a range of techniques, we generate a set of crystal structures and investigate their relative stability field in the pressure-temperature and temperature-density planes by means of…
