BiFeO 3 / ZnO , ZnO/BiFeO3, BiFeO3/ZnO/BiFeO3, and ZnO/BiFeO3/ZnO thin film heterostructures were deposited on SrRuO3/Pt(111)/TiO2/SiO2/Si(100) substrates by off-axis radio frequency sputtering. Their diodelike and resistive hysteresis behavior are dependent on the combination sequence of the constituent layers in the…
Nitrogen boron co-doped TiO(2) prepared via sol-gel synthesis and active under visible light, contains two types of paramagnetic extrinsic defects, both exhibiting a well resolved EPR spectrum. The first center is the well characterized [N(i)O]˙ species (i = interstitial) also present in N-doped TiO(2), while the seco…
UNLABELLED: Inhibition of the activity of efflux transporters may relevantly improve the chemotherapy of cancer and infectious diseases. AIM: To explore the ability of poloxamines (Tetronic(®), X-shaped structure with a central ethylendiamine group and four branches of poly[ethylene oxide]-poly[propylene oxide] [PEO-P…
Endostar, a novel recombinant human endostatin, which was approved by the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration in 2005, has a broad spectrum of activity against solid tumors. In this study, we aimed to determine whether the anticancer effect of Endostar is increased by using a nanocarrier system. It is expected…
Diatom assemblages were investigated in 9 springs of the Berchtesgaden National Park (carbonate substratum; north-eastern Alps, Germany), by collecting individual samples from the main substrata (stones, bryophytes, surface sediment), and measuring an extensive number of environmental variables. Overall, 104 taxa belo…
The susceptibility of four MAX phases (Ti 2 AlC, Cr 2 AlC, Ti 3 AlC 2 , and Ti 3 SiC 2 ) to high-temperature thermal dissociation in vacuum has been investigated using in-situ neutron diffraction. In high vacuum, these phases decomposed above 1400°C through the sublimation of M and A elements, forming a surface coatin…
The performance of carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers is limited by the intertube characteristics. Here we report a direct method of curing to improve mechanical properties of poly(amic acid)-infiltrated fibers. After curing at 190 °C for 60 min the fibers composed of double- and triple-walled CNTs, their strength is stably…
We demonstrate a simple way of making individual 20 nm gold nanoparticles fluorescent (with a fluorescence quantum yield of about 10(-6)) in glycerol. Gold NPs prepared in such a way have bright fluorescence for a long time under moderate excitation, and their fluorescence remains when the solvent is exchanged to wate…
Our first-principles calculations demonstrate that the substitutional B anion and B cation doped TiO 2 both produce a spin magnetic moment of 1.0 μ B despite their different mechanisms. The former is due to that the three electrons of B 2− (s 2 p 3 ) at the O site occupy the two low-energy B 2p orbitals preferentially…
Here we report on molten salt synthesis of four different compounds in the K2O–Na2O–Nb2O5 system. The three compounds K4Nb6O17, K2Nb4O11 and KNb3O8, with non-cubic crystal structures, were prepared as single crystalline particles with large aspect ratios. K4Nb6O17 was prepared with a plate-like morphology, K2Nb4O11 a…
Composite materials of the alumino silicate minerals, kaolinite and halloysite, with silver nanoparticles have been successfully synthesised. This was achieved by a layer-by-layer deposition process in which kaolinite or halloysite was dispersed in successive solutions of the cationic polymeric linker polydiallyldimet…
The general properties of long wavelength triangular graphene superlattices are studied. It is shown that Dirac points with and without gaps can arise at a number of high-symmetry points of the Brillouin zone. The existence of gaps can lead to insulating behaviour at commensurate fillings. Strain and magnetic superlat…
Three-component organic thermochromic materials, consisting of a leuco dye, a weak acid acting as the colour developer, and a low-melting organic solvent, can change their colour in response to temperature changes. Although widely used in applications, their detailed thermochromic mechanism is not fully understood. Th…
In this paper we describe and test a setup for the characterization of the magnetocaloric effect around room temperature. The setup is a differential calorimeter able to measure both the specific heat c(p)(H,T) under constant magnetic field H and the isothermal entropy change induced by changing H, Δs(H,T), in the roo…
A detailed knowledge of the gap structure for the Fe-pnictide superconductors is still rather rudimentary with several conflicting reports of either nodes, deep gap minima, or fully isotropic gaps on the Fermi-surface sheets, both in the ${k}_{x}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{k}_{y}$ plane and along the $c$ axis. In this Rapid…
Tissue engineering is a rapidly evolving interdisciplinary field that aims to regenerate new tissue to replace damaged tissues or organs. The extracellular matrix (ECM) of animal tissues is a complex mixture of macromolecules that play an essential instructional role in the development of tissues and organs. Therefore…
A GeTe reconfigurable phase change switch for radio frequency applications is presented. Low ON state resistance (180 Ω) and large dynamic range (7×103 X) were achieved through low resistance electrode design and high current. A partial crystallization and partial reamorphization model is proposed to explain the diffe…
We report the structural, magnetic, electrical transport properties, and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of antipervoskite compound AlCMn3. It exhibits a second-order ferromagnetic–paramagnetic phase transition around (TC) 287 K. The electronic resistivity (ρ) shows a good metallic behavior except for a slope change aroun…
Materiomics is an emerging field of science that provides a basis for multiscale material system characterization, inspired in part by natural, for example, protein-based materials. Here we outline the scope and explain the motivation of the field of materiomics, as well as demonstrate the benefits of a materiomic app…
Carbon nanotubes have been shown to have the ability to transport therapeutic and detective reagents into cells. However, the rapid advances in new carbon nanotube-based materials and technologies have raised concerns about their safety. Such concerns require a fundamental understanding of the toxicological properties…
