The formation of an adiabatic shear band (ASB) experiences three stages: stable plastic flow, nucleation and a fluid-like stage. For different stages, the microstructures of the material undergo great changes. The mechanical behavior of the material in each stage has its own unique characteristics. To describe these c…
On the basis of a statistical analysis of the data deposited in the Protein Data Bank [Berman et al. (2000). Nucleic Acids Res. 28 , 235–242; Bernstein et al. (1977). J. Mol. Biol. 112 , 535–542], it is shown that two symmetry-related protein molecules are frequently bridged by a small molecule/monoatomic ion, which w…
We report ripening of metal particles anchored on pyramid-shaped heterostructure nanocrystals. The 'intra-particle' ripening results in a large metal tip at one corner with the other three tips vanishing. Investigation reveals that the ripening and core/shell formation affects photocatalytic activities via the Fermi l…
Vaterite composite particles with a size-controlled sphere were obtained by a carbonate controlled-addition method by using a carboxylate-terminated poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM)-type polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)-core dendrimer. An aqueous ammonium carbonate solution was added to an aqueous solution of the d…
Abstract BaCe 0.8 Pr 0.2 O 3 (BCP20) and BaCe 0.6 Pr 0.4 O 3 (BCP40) powders are successfully synthesized through the Pechini method and used as the cathode materials for proton‐conducting solid state oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The prepared cells consisting of the structure of a BaZr 0.1 Ce 0.7 Y 0.2 O 3–δ (BZCY7)‐NiO…
Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) intercalated Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (C-LDHs) with high dispersion in the CMC matrix were successfully synthesised by a one-pot method using a facile biopolymer-assisted approach in the presence of CMC under hydrothermal conditions. Highly oriented, flexible and glossy self-support…
Single-phase Cu 2 O films with p-type semiconducting properties were successfully deposited by reactive DC magnetron sputtering at room temperature followed by post annealing process at 200°C. Subsequently, such films were used to fabricate bottom gate p-channel Cu 2 O thin film transistors (TFTs). The effect of using…
We develop a multiscale hybrid scheme for simulations of soft condensed matter systems, which allows one to treat the system at the particle level in selected regions of space, and at the continuum level elsewhere. It is derived systematically from an underlying particle-based model by field theoretic methods. Particl…
In this study, we demonstrate a real-time and sensitive strategy for monitoring of lipase activity using liquid crystal (LC) droplets with micrometre scales supported on solid surfaces. The LC droplet pattern was formed by evaporating a solution of nematic LC, 4-cyano-4′-pentylbiphenyl (5CB) dissolved in heptane. The…
The local environment of Cr3+ during the sol–gel synthesis of 1% and 5% Cr3+-doped SrTiO3 (Cr3+:SrTiO3) bulk powders was systematically studied by structural characterization techniques and dopant-specific spectroscopies. After calcination at 800 °C, the precursors were annealed between 850 °C and 1050 °C for up to 6…
The ac pollution flashover performance and flashover process of LXHY 3 ‐I6O insulators was investigated at a high altitude site (altitude of 1400m) in this paper. The solid layer method was used, and even‐rising voltage method was adopted. According to the test results, the average pollution flashover voltage ( U av )…
We prepared a few binary nematic liquid crystal mixtures with high birefringence ( at room temperature) and studied the temperature variation of physical properties. All the mixtures show a small, positive dielectric anisotropy and the parallel component of dielectric constant exhibits anomalous temperature dependence…
Application of energy conservation between input sound and the microplasma which forms at the moment of sonoluminescence places bounds on the process, whereby the gas is ionized. Detailed pulsed Mie scattering measurements of the radius versus time for a xenon bubble in sulfuric acid provide a complete characterizatio…
We analyse the possibilities opened by nanostructuring for the efficient use of silicon as a thermoelectric material. Nanostructured silicon does not offer significant opportunities from the point of view of an increased Seebeck coefficient; however, nanostructuring allows an important advantage in terms of the reduct…
Combining insights from diffuse reflection infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and X-ray pair distribution function (PDF) analysis has the potential to deepen our understanding of complex materials systems including heterogeneous catalysts and host–guest systems. This article describes the development of instrumen…
A model is presented that correlates the measured electric capacitance with the energy that comprises the desolvation, dissociation and adsorption energy of an ionic liquid into carbonaceous electrode (represented by single-wall carbon nanotubes). An original methodology is presented that allows for the calculation of…
Abstract Single‐chain magnets (SCMs) are materials composed of magnetically isolated one‐dimensional (1D) units exhibiting slow relaxation of magnetization. The occurrence of SCM behavior requires the fulfillment of stringent conditions for exchange and anisotropy interactions. Herein, we report the synthesis, the str…
A hybrid compound consisting of palladium(salen) [salen = N , N ′‐bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine] complex covalently linked to a lacunary Keggin‐type polyoxometalate, K 8 [SiW 11 O 39 ](POM), was synthesized and characterized by FT‐IR, elemental analysis, inductively coupled plasma and diffuse reflectance UV–visible…
In this study, a novel approach to prepare organic–inorganic hybrid microcapsules was developed by conferring an adhesion layer with mineralization-inducing capabilities under mild conditions. The wall of hybrid microcapsules consisted of two layers: an organic layer (adhesion layer) and an inorganic layer (biomineral…
The deformation mechanisms of a semicrystalline polymer (SCP) subjected to tensile loading were experimentally studied from nano to micro and macro length scales. The paper’s focus is on the development of anisotropic features at all scales during deformation. At the nanoscale, original results are presented based on…
