We propose a new material for high power and high density supercapacitors with excellent cycle stability. Graphite oxide (PSS-GO) intercalated with poly(sodium 4-styrensulfonate) showed high performance of electric double layer capacitance (EDLC) compared to that of the pristine graphite oxide. Specific capacitance of…
We describe a pulsed measurement technique for suppressing hysteresis for carbon nanotube (CNT) device measurements in air, vacuum, and over a wide temperature range (80-453 K). Varying the gate pulse width and duty cycle probes the relaxation times associated with charge trapping near the CNT, found to be up to the 0…
Investigating microwave absorption in asymmetric Si quantum wells in an external magnetic field, we discover a spin dependent component of Joule heating at spin resonance. We explain this effect in terms of Rashba spin-orbit coupling which results in a current induced spin precession and Zitterbewegung. Evidence is ba…
Schietinger et al. (Nano Lett. 2009, 9, 2477-2481) observed single nanoparticle emission from NaYF4:Er3+,Yb3+ and noted unusual changes in the intensities of red and green emissions with particle size. We show that the documented changes are due to instrumental artifacts and that the explanations given for the changes…
We use the time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect (TRMOKE) to measure the local temperature and heat flow dynamics in ferromagnetic SrRuO3 thin films. After heating by a pump pulse, the film temperature decays exponentially, indicating that the heat flow out of the film is limited by the film/substrate interface. W…
Electron scattering mechanisms in copper lines were investigated to understand the extendibility of copper interconnects when linewidth or thickness is less than the mean free path. Electron-beam lithography and a dual hard mask were used to produce interconnects with linewidths between 25 and 45 nm. Electron backscat…
Stimuli-responsive gate mechanisms offer potential for the controlled passage of payload molecules from a porous carrier vehicle on-demand. We describe a method for the enzyme-mediated release of macromolecular guest molecules from inorganic silica particles coated with a bioactive peptide shell, synthesized precisely…
SnO thin films were fabricated by electron beam evaporation on (100) Si and c- and r-plane Al2O3 substrates. The films grown at 25 °C are nanocrystalline, while the films grown at 600 °C are epitaxial on r-plane Al2O3 and (001) textured on Si and c-plane Al2O3. The SnO films have an optical band gap of 2.82–2.97 eV an…
The correlation between the dielectric breakdown performance and interface polarization was studied by the measurements of the dielectric breakdown strength and impedance spectroscopy as a function of sintering temperatures in a BaO–SrO–TiO2–Al2O3–SiO2 glass ceramic system. It was found that dielectric breakdown stren…
To make graphene technologically viable, the transfer of graphene films to substrates appropriate for specific applications is required. We demonstrate the dry transfer of epitaxial graphene (EG) from the C-face of 4H-SiC onto SiO(2), GaN and Al(2)O(3) substrates using a thermal release tape. Subsequent Hall effect me…
The bulky substituents of homosalen complexes decelerate the ring-opening polymerization of racemic lactide (LA). The substituent effects provide the first catalysis for the random copolymerization of epsilon-caprolactone (CL) with LA (CL/LA = 1:1). The copolymerization of CL with LA (CL/LA = 1:1) by the iPr(3)Si-subs…
Atomically thin sheets of carbon known as "graphene" have captured the imagination of much of the scientific world during the past few years. Although these single sheets of graphite were under our noses for years-within technologies ranging from the humble pencil, which has been around since at least 1565 (Petroski,…
RuO 2 /CNT nanocomposites with well-dispersed RuO 2 nanoparticles (diameter <2 nm) on the carbon nanotubes’ surface, synthesized through an easy and efficient solution-based method, have been investigated for potential application in electrochemical capacitors (ECs) as electrode materials. The electrochemical results…
The impact of capping agents and environmental conditions (pH, ionic strength, and background electrolytes) on surface charge and aggregation potential of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) suspensions were investigated. Capping agents are chemicals used in the synthesis of nanoparticles to prevent aggregation. The AgNPs ex…
Steam hydrolysis of lithium hydride was studied at various temperatures (20°C–80°C). To monitor the reaction rate, hydrogen flow was recorded as a function of time. Phase composition of the reaction products was analyzed by XRD spectroscopy. A variation in the reaction mechanism was found for temperatures lower than 7…
IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD: More than 10 million people worldwide are diagnosed with cancer each year, and the development of effective cancer treatments is consequently of great significance. Cancer therapy is unfortunately hampered by severe dose-limiting side effects that reduce the efficacy of cancer treatments. In t…
The transport behavior and superconducting transition temperature Tc of NdFe1-yRuyAsO0.89F0.11 have been studied for various y values. Because Ru impurities are isoelectronic to host Fe atoms, we basically expect that the number of electrons does not change with y, at least in the region of small y values. The results…
We present numerical evidence of a novel propagation mode for superfast impact ionization fronts in high-voltage Si $p^+$-$n$-$n^+$ structures. In nonlinear dynamics terms, this mode corresponds to a pulled front propagating into an unstable state in the regime of nonlocalized initial conditions. Before the front star…
IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD: A polymeric micelle is a macromolecular assembly composed of an inner core and an outer shell, and most typically is formed from block copolymers. In the last two decades, polymeric micelles have been actively studied as a new type of drug carrier system, in particular for drug targeting of an…
Biodiesel fuel is favored as a type of carbon neutral energy. To popularize its usage, by-product waste glycerol utilization is a critical problem. We tried to isolate waste glycerol utilizing bacteria, and obtained the alkalo- and halophile bacteria Halomonas sp. KM-1. This strain produced bioplastic poly(3-hydroxybu…
