We investigate the Seebeck effect in $R\mathrm{FeAsO}$ ($R=\mathrm{rare}$ earth) compounds as a function of temperature and magnetic field up to 30 T. The Seebeck curves are characterized by a broad negative bump around 50 K, which is sample dependent and strongly enhanced by the application of a magnetic field. A mod…
Glutathione (GSH)-capped CdTe QDs with diameters of 3 nm were synthesised.
Organic / inorganic hybrids are widely used in nature to mimic biological functions providing a specific morphology and functionality to materials and surfaces. In this review, we focus on construction, properties and application of Layer-by-Layer assembled hybrid materials. Use of polyelectrolytes, block copolymers a…
The synthesis of 4-(3-cholesteroxycarbonylpropyloxy)biphenyl (BO4-chol), 4-(7-cholesteroxycarbonylheptyloxy)biphenyl (BO8-chol), and 4,4'-bis(7-cholesteroxycarbonyl heptyloxy)biphenyl (BBO8-chol) is reported. These gelators form 1% and 2% (w/w) stable gels in n-octanol. The gels formed from single cholesterol gelators…
The addition of small amounts (below 0.1 wt. %) of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to Pb(Zr0.47Ti0.53)O3 (PZT) ceramics prepared by spark plasma sintering is proposed as a method of tailoring the electrical properties, which are expected to be modified with respect to the pure PZT, both as result of the presenc…
Classic molecular dynamics methods are used to simulate the uniform compression process of the fcc Al containing He bubbles. The formation of stacking fault tetrahedra (SFTs) during the collapse of He bubbles is found, and their dependence on the initial He bubble size (0.6–6 nm in diameter) is presented. Our simulati…
Although films of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) have good oxygen barrier properties due to its fine network structure, properties strongly deteriorate after absorption of water. In this work, a new approach has been followed for actively tuning the water resistance of a MFC fiber network by the inclusion of dispers…
The competitive adsorption of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) onto Na-bentonite has been assessed quantitatively. Particular emphasis was focused on the amount of organic located within the bentonite interlayer and any subsequent effects on the extent of layer expansion. The individual isoth…
In this work, we describe the controlled synthesis of novel heterogeneous nanostructures comprised of mesoporous silica-coated gold nanorods (MSGNRs) in the form of core–shell nanolollipops and nanodumb-bells, using a seed-mediated sol–gel method. Although MSGNR core–shell (θ-MSGNR) structures have been reported previ…
Purpose – The purpose of this paper was to use the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite reared in the laboratory to investigate the effects of juveniles on corrosion behaviour of three stainless steels (SS): UNS S31600, N08904 and UNS S32760. Design/methodology/approach – Barnacle larvae were maintained in a laboratory un…
We perform a systematic study on the evolution of the magnetic spin moment (${m}_{s}$) of epitaxial [100]- and [111]-magnetite films of increasing thickness. The ultrathin films are characterized by low-energy electron diffraction, x-ray absorption spectroscopy, and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). By employi…
We have formulated a transfer matrix method to investigate electronic properties of graphene heterostructure consisting of monolayer graphene and bilayer counterpart. By evaluating transmission, conductance, and band dispersion, we show that, irrespective of the different carrier chiralities in monolayer graphene and…
Construction of superstructures with controllable morphologies from NPs is of great scientific and technological importance. A one-step method for simultaneous synthesis and assembly of Ag NPs to three-dimensional (3D) nanoporous superstructures is demonstrated. By varying the adsorption time of Ag precursors, an arra…
Substrates of wide band-gap II–VI semiconductor compounds are considered feasible for the fabrication of nanoporous matrices (NM) needed for templated growth of nanowires and nanotubes of solid-state materials promising for applications in various fields. An accessible and cost-effective approach to fabricate NM is ba…
Most properties of nanocrystalline materials are shape-dependent, providing their exquisite tunability in optical, mechanical, electronic and catalytic properties. An example of the former is localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), the coherent oscillation of conduction electrons in metals that can be excited by t…
The complex comprising a cationic Mn-porphyrin and carboxymethyl poly(1-vinylimidazole) (CM-PVIm) was prepared as an artificial active center of catalase. Interestingly, the catalase activity of the complex depends on the chain length of the polymer and the chemical structure of Mn-porphyrin. This study is one step fo…
Nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) films may be used in biosensing after modification of their surfaces with active functional groups. Here, surface functionalization of O- and H-NCD films with amine groups was made by 2 plasma-based processes: a) RF plasma treatment in ammonia, b) the deposition of thin amine-containing p…
Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) was used to deposit nanocrystalline cadmium oxide (CdO) thin films on microscopic glass substrates for various cycles (40–120). This is based on alternate dipping of the substrate in CdCl2 solution made alkaline (pH ∼12) with NaOH, rinsing with distilled water, fo…
A simple synthetic strategy of vinyl functionalized hollow mesoporous silica nanospheres using CTAB as a template and ammonia as a catalyst.
Memory and switching devices acquired new materials which exhibit ferroelectric and ferromagnetic order simultaneously. We reported multiferroic behavior in Zn1−yLiyO(0.00≤y≤0.10) nanoparticles. The analysis of transmission electron micrographs confirmed the hexagonal morphology and wurtzite crystalline structure. We…
