The Wenzel and Cassie-Baxter equations depending on the extent of liquid/solid interfacial contact area were generally used to estimate water contact angles on superhydrophobic surfaces. In this study, a simple method is proposed on the criterion to use the Wenzel and Cassie-Baxter equations to evaluate the contact an…
Experimental and theoretical results on chemical functionalization of graphene are reviewed. Using hydrogenated graphene as a model system, general principles of the chemical functionalization are formulated and discussed. It is shown that, as a rule, 100% coverage of graphene by complex functional groups (in contrast…
The electrical switching behavior of GeTe-based phase change memory devices is characterized by time resolved experiments. SET pulses with a duration of less than 16 ns are shown to crystallize the material. Depending on the resistance of the RESET state, the minimum SET pulse duration can even be reduced down to 1 ns…
We develop an approach to broad-band omnidirectional light absorption, based on light propagation in a metamaterial structure forming an effective “black hole.” The proposed system does not rely on magnetic response, is nonresonant, and can be fabricated from existing materials.
We report on the room temperature ferromagnetism in Co-doped wurtzite ZnS nanocrystals with size of about 5 nm, which gradually becomes weak as the increase of doping concentration. The coercivities for all samples maintain at about 200 Oe, and the saturation magnetic moment per Co ion decreases sharply for high dopin…
The present study was carried out in Kharkeh Research Station, Kurdestan Province, western Iran to investigate the effects of the change in land use on the degradation of Mollisols, their organic carbon content, clay mineralogy and K + status. The study area was partly under cultivation (for over 40 years) and partly…
This work deals with the design of electromagnetic absorber of interest in radar absorbing material (RAM) and microwave shielding systems. This absorber is based on a multilayer structure and the parameters taken into account are: number of layers, absorption maximization, microwave angle of incidence and frequency ba…
Before using semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) in biomedical applications in vivo, it's important to know about their interaction with biological surroundings, stability in living organisms, intracellular distribution and cytotoxicity. We have investigated CdTe-MPA and (CdSe)ZnS-MUA QDs in the osteosarcoma U2-OS cell c…
Strain gauges based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) realize a higher sensitivity and a larger operation range than usual metallic strain gauges. Different technologies for CNT-layers have been realized. With the aim to find a suitable technology that allows the application of CNT strain gauges without use of…
The accessibility of cellulose samples having various degrees of crystallinity was studied with respect to molecules of water, lower primary alcohols, and lower organic acids. It was found that small water molecules have full access to non-crystalline domains of cellulose (accessibility coefficient α = 1). Molecules o…
Summary This paper discusses research on scale inhibition and squeeze performance in the presence of Zn2+. Some scale inhibitors, such as bis-hexamethylenetriamine penta(phosphonic acid), BHPMP, and polymeric inhibitors, such as phosphinopolycarboxylate (PPCA), have poor retention characteristics in conventional squee…
Carbon Nanotube Field-Effect Transistors (CNFETs) show promise as extensions to silicon-CMOS. Ideal CNFET circuits can potentially provide 20X Energy-Delay-Product benefits over silicon-CMOS at the 16 nm technology node. However, several challenges must be overcome before such performance benefits can be experimentall…
Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) are grown using chemical synthesis. As a result, it is extremely difficult to ensure exact positioning and uniform density of CNTs. Density variations in CNT growth can compromise reliability of Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor (CNFET) circuits, and result in increased delay variations.…
Quantum ESPRESSO is an integrated suite of computer codes for electronic-structure calculations and materials modeling, based on density-functional theory, plane waves, and pseudopotentials (norm-conserving, ultrasoft, and projector-augmented wave). Quantum ESPRESSO stands for "opEn Source Package for Research in Elec…
We argue from both technical and physical points of view that the main result shown in the Comment [arXiv:0709.2619] by Cherrolet et al. [Phys. Rev. B 80, 037101 (2009)] as well as the authors' interpretations of the result are not sufficient to draw the conclusion that the scaling law at the mobility edge takes the f…
Two kinds of the penetrating rods, which were made of tungsten heavy alloy and tungsten-fiber-reinforced Zr-based metallic glass composite material, respectively, were used to penetrate the 30CrMnMo steel target plates in the penetration experiments. In the penetration process, the tungsten heavy alloy rod head formed…
This paper presents our work in the concept exploration of a new family of self-healing materials that hold promise for "crack-free" cementitious composites. This innovative system features the design of passive smart microcapsules with oil core and silica gel shell, prepared through an interfacial self-assembly proce…
Flexible radiation dosimeters have been produced incorporating thick films (>1 m) of the semiconducting polymer poly ([9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl]-co-bithiophene). Diode structures produced on aluminium-metallised poly(imide) substrates, and with gold top contacts, have been examined with respect to their electrica…
Abstract In this paper, we have successfully prepared submicron-sized snowman-like polystyrene (PS) particles by radiation-induced seeded emulsion polymerization at room temperature. The monodispersed crosslinked PS particles with an average size of 358 nm acted as seed particles. The influence of polymer/monomer weig…
Clathrate-type phases of silicon and related elements (C, Ge, Sn) . This review article relates the history and the recent development of clathrate-type compounds of silicon and related elements (carbon, germanium, tin). Their cage-like structures are identical to those of the gas and liquid hydrates, as well as the s…
