Raman and IR spectroscopies, X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis have been used to characterize synthetic compounds of the alunite supergroup of formula AB3(SO4)2(OH)6, with A = Na+, K+, H3O+ and B = Al, Cr3+, Fe3+, V3+. For each A-site cation, the proportion of B-site vacancies decreases in the same order as the…

We surveyed a panel of 13 metal nanoparticle (NP) catalysts for their antifungal activities against Candida albicans ATCC 90028. Initial characterization using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) suggested that our ability to detect NP binding to Candida surfaces with this method was impeded by preparation artifacts. A…

A study of the recovery of the hydrophobicity of high temperature vulcanized (HTV) silicone rubber (SIR) after immersion for 3000 h in saline solutions of different conductivities (0.005-100 mS/cm) and at different temperatures (0-98 °C) as a function of time (0 to 3000 h) is reported. The hydrophobicity characterized…

A limiting mean free path was considered in order to better understand the temperature and wire diameter dependence of the resistivity and Seebeck coefficient of bismuth microwire and nanowire samples. The mean free path limited mobility was numerically calculated from experimentally measured mobility in a bulk bismut…

We report the ferromagnetism of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 in bulk polycrystalline, nanocrystalline, and amorphous phases. The structural change from crystalline phase to amorphous phase exhibited a systematic decrease in TC (paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition temperature) and spontaneous magnetization (MS). The experimen…

This paper proposes a simple scenario to describe the coalescence of sessile droplets. This scenario predicts a power-law growth of the bridge between the droplets. The exponent of this power law depends on the driving mechanism for the spreading of each droplet. To validate this simple idea, the coalescence is simula…

The most interesting feature in silicon carbide is the structure-property relation where the formation of different types of microstructure due to different structural modifications (polytypism) and grain-boundary/interfacial phase chemistry dictate the final properties of the monoliths. Since synthesis of SiC in last…

The electric-field-induced resistance switching of vanadium dioxide (VO 2 ) films grown on c -Al 2 O 3 (001) substrates was studied in planar devices with two terminal electrodes. We demonstrated multistep resistance switching in a device with dimensions of 5/1500 µm (electrode gap/electrode length), while only a sing…

This paper is concerned with the postbuckling problem of cantilevered nano rods/tubes under an end concentrated load. Eringen's nonlocal beam theory is used to account for the small length scale effect. The governing equation is derived from statical and geometrical considerations and Eringen's nonlocal constitutive r…

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have shown great promise as fluorescent probes for molecular, cellular and in-vivo imaging. However, the fluorescence of traditional polymer-encapsulated QDs is often quenched by proton-induced etching in acidic environments. This is a major problem for QD applications in the gastroint…

Abstract In this paper, we present the phase behavior and electro‐optical Kerr effect of the optically isotropic liquid crystal composites, which require no surface treatment for device fabrication. Anomalously large Kerr constant, more than 10 −8 mV −2 and fast response, less than sub‐milli‐second were observed at a…
