We present a study of site and bond percolation on periodic lattices with three nearest neighbors per site. Essentially all previous studies of percolation in 3D have considered coordination numbers of 4 or higher, but 3-coordinated lattices have attracted recent interest for their unusual symmetries and relevance to…

Zinc oxide thin films were deposited, by radio frequency magnetron sputtering, on heated and unheated substrates. The oxygen flow rate was varied during deposition, and its effects on the structural and chemical properties of the films were investigated. The films had oriented c‐axis growth with nano‐crystallite size.…

This article establishes a theoretical model to study the effect of grain boundary sliding deformation on the dislocation emission from the crack tip in nanocrystalline solids. Within our description, stress concentration near the crack initiates grain boundary sliding which results in the formation the dipole of disc…

The functionalization of natural fibers is an important task that has recently received considerable attention. We investigated the formation of a hydrophobic layer from amphiphilic diblock copolymer micelles [polystyrene-block-poly(N-methyl-4-vinyl pyridinium iodide)] on natural fibers and on a model surface (mica).…

Colloidal particles embedded within nematic liquid crystals exhibit strong anisotropic interactions arising from preferential orientation of nematogens near the particle surface. Such interactions are conducive to forming branched, gel-like aggregates. Anchoring effects also induce interactions between colloids disper…

In this paper, we describe a procedure for the phase transfer of silver nanoprisms (AgNPrs) from aqueous solution to chloroform via an amide coupling reaction. AgNPrs are first modified with 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid (MHA), and then primary or secondary amines are attached to the carboxylic acid end of the MHA liga…
