The targeted delivery of therapeutics to tumors remains an important challenge in cancer nanomedicine. Attaching nanoparticles to cells that have tumoritropic migratory properties is a promising modality to address this challenge. Here we describe a technique to create nanoparticulate cellular patches that remain atta…
Maintaining stable fluxes for multiple source elements is a challenging task when the source materials have significantly different oxygen affinities in a complex-oxide molecular-beam-epitaxy (MBE) environment. Considering that Sr is one of the most easily oxidized and widely used elements in various complex oxides, w…
Dislocation pinning plays a vital role in the plastic behaviour of a crystalline solid. Here we report the first observation of the damped oscillations of a mobile dislocation after it gets pinned at an obstacle in the presence of a constant static shear load. These oscillations are found to be inertial, instead of fo…
This review on graphene, a one atom thick, two-dimensional sheet of carbon atoms, starts with a general description of the graphene electronic structure as well as a basic experimental toolkit for identifying and handling this material. Owing to the versatility of graphene properties and projected applications, severa…
The influence of local oxidation in silicon nanowires on hole transport, and hence the effect of varying the oxidation state of silicon atoms at the wire surface, is studied using density functional theory in conjunction with a Green's function scattering method. For silicon nanowires with growth direction along [110]…
We present a simple model to describe the lowest-subbands surface scattering in locally oxidized silicon nanowires grown in the [110] direction. To this end, we employ an atomistically scaled effective mass model projected from a three-dimensional effective mass equation and apply a quantum transport formalism to calc…
We investigate the spin species relevant for the spin-dependent recombination used for the electrical readout of coherent spin manipulation in phosphorus-doped silicon. Via a multi-frequency pump-probe experiment in pulsed electrically detected magnetic resonance, we demonstrate that the dominant spin-dependent recomb…
Band gap modification for small-diameter (1 nm) silicon nanowires resulting from the use of different species for surface termination is investigated by density functional theory calculations. Because of quantum confinement, small-diameter wires exhibit a direct band gap that increases as the wire diameter narrows, ir…
We report a memory resistance (memristor) behavior with nonlinear current-voltage characteristics and bipolar hysteretic resistance switching in the nanocolumnar manganite (LSMO) films. The switching from a high (HRS) to a low (LRS) resistance occurs at a bias field ~1 MV/cm. Applied electric field drops mostly at the…
Seven CNT (carbon nanotube) handling workplaces were investigated for exposure assessment. Personal sampling, area sampling, and real-time monitoring using an SMPS (scanning mobility particle sizer), dust monitor, and aethalometer were performed to characterize the mass exposure, particle size distribution, and partic…
Here we report a larger-scale atomic-level molecular dynamics (MD) simulation for the self-assembly of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactant on single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) surfaces and the interaction between supramolecular SDS/SWNT aggregates. We make an effort to address several important problems in rega…
We report a simple and efficient synthetic method to prepare gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in aqueous phase using HAuCl(4) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) ligands appended with bidentate anchoring groups. Our approach provides narrow size distribution nanocrystals over the size range between 1.5 and 18 nm; this range is…
Magnetism in systems that do not contain transition metal or rare earth ions was recently observed or predicted to exist in a wide variety of systems. We summarize both experimental and theoretical results obtained for ideal bulk II-V and II-IV compounds, molecular crystals containing O(2) or N(2) molecules as structu…
Significant conductivity enhancement was observed on transparent and conductive poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) films after a treatment with organic and inorganic acids, including acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, oxalic acid, sulfurous acid, and hydrochloric acid. The co…
Abstract The Ag/graphene heterostructures were synthesized through a simple thermal reduction process. The interaction between Ag nanoparticles and graphene supports along with the surface plasmon resonance properties of Ag nanoparticles on graphene were investigated for the first time.
The effect of linear tension on the structure and properties of metals and alloys is investigated. Technological possibilities to activate the recrystallization process and to prevent the grain growth in order to effectively refine the structure are considered.
采用水/乙醇为反应溶剂，用高碘酸钠氧化海藻酸钠，制备了多醛基海藻酸钠（multi-aldehyde sodium alginate, MASA）。采用费林试剂、盐酸羟胺-NaOH电位滴定法、乌氏粘度计、与明胶的交联反应分别对氧化后的海藻酸钠进行表征。结果发现，氧化的海藻酸钠溶液可与费林试剂反应生成砖红色沉淀；海藻酸钠的氧化度随高碘酸钠用量及反应时间的增加而增加。投料比为80%时，氧化度最高可达约80％，收率约58.7%。MASA的粘度随反应时间、高碘酸钠浓度的增加而急剧下降。氧化度分别为20%、40%、60%的MASA，37℃下可使明胶在5 min内生成凝胶。因此，以水/乙醇作为反应介质、通过控制氧化剂的用量和反应时间，可以得到产…
The dissolution of nickel metal in nitric acid in the presence of the dichromate anion as the oxidizer is reported. The formation of Ni(II) and Cr(III) nitrates takes place in two steps with the intermediate formation of nitrous acid. A new method to synthesize the nickel-chromium oxide catalyst from nickel and chromi…
Component interactions in the iron-molybdenum-samarium system at 773 K were studied by powder X-ray diffraction, microstructure observation, electron probe microanalysis, and hardness and microhardness testing. The formation of a ternary intermetallic compound π with a ThMn 12 structural type was found in this system.…
The application of a multistate Markov chain is considered as a model of electromigration interconnect degradation and eventual failure. Such a model has already been used [Tan et al., J. Appl. Phys. 102, 103703 (2007)], maintaining that, in general, it leads to a failure distribution described by a gamma mixture, and…
