Low-energy electronic properties of carbon nanotubes subject to the influences of a transverse electric field and a magnetic field with angle $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ are studied by the tight-binding model. The external fields would modulate energy dispersions, alter energy gaps, destroy state degeneracy, and create addi…
Abstract A polypropylene homopolymer was blended with ethylene–propylene rubber in different mixing ratios. The influence of the ethylene–propylene rubber content on the toughness behavior was investigated. According to the results of instrumented impact tests, brittle‐to‐tough transition temperatures were found for d…
A parametric study was carried out on a novel carbon nanotube (CNT) synthesis using 'arc-discharge in solution' (ADS). The carbon nanostructure yield as a function of time, the rate of erosion of the anode, and the rate of deposition of carbonaceous materials on the cathode electrode were investigated. Amperage depend…
Abstract The mixed powders of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and SiO 2 has been subjected to cryomilling. The evolution of microstructure with time was characterized using scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, field emission scanning electron microscope, and laser diffraction particle siz…
Abstract The yield behavior of melt‐mixed nanocomposites containing 5 wt % organically modified montmorillonite in matrices of a linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) or a modified polyethylene was studied as a function of the temperature and strain rate. In the melt‐mixed LLDPE nanocomposite, the montmorillonite sh…
A facile strategy for fabricating polypyrrole-chitosan (PPy-CS) hollow nanostructures with different shapes (sphere, cube and plate) and a wide range of sizes (from 35 to 600 nm) is described. These hollow structures have been fabricated using silver bromide as a single template material for polymer nucleation and gro…
Abstract In this article, we report the use of a variety of analytical methods, in particular, solid‐state 1 H‐NMR and 13 C‐NMR to characterize the relationship between the condensed‐phase chemistry and burning behavior as determined by a series of combustion tests for two commercially derived flexible polyurethane fo…
Abstract This work investigated the mechanical behavior of POSS‐modified polyamide 6 (PA6), containing PA6 chains terminated at one end with aminopropyl‐heptaisobutyl POSS. Three systems with different POSS contents (5.4, 10.8, and 16.2 wt %), each characterized by a specific molecular mass, and the corresponding PA6…
We calculated field-emission currents from nitrogen- and boron-doped single-walled (5,5) carbon nanotubes by integrating time-dependent Schrödinger equations. Nitrogen doping increased the emission current owing to a shift in the energy level of a localized state to the Fermi level, and the creation of coupled states…
We study the formation of planar network nanostructures, which develop during metal deposition on initially smooth surfaces of layered compounds. Using in situ low-energy electron microscopy for dynamic observation and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy for structure analysis, we have observed the rapid…
We report a technique to prepare top and bottom oxide electrodes of LaNiO3 (LNO) for lead zirconate titanate (PZT) films using a chemical solution deposition. LNO/PZT/LNO sandwich structures were prepared on platinized silicon by spin coating combined with rapid thermal annealing. Pt dots were sputtered on top of LaNi…
Bi2Se3 nanorods have been synthesized through a simple hydrothermal reduction approach. The nanorods formed were ≈10 nm in diameter and 100-200 nm in length. XRD characterization suggested that the product consisted of the hexagonal phase of pure Bi2Se3. EDX and XPS studies further confirmed the composition and purity…
In this paper we focus on supersaturation and migration of the atomic species involved in the growth of oxide films in order to search for new efficient methods for growth of flat, uniform and precipitate-free complex thin films with high quality. In this respect we have applied MOCVD to HTS thin films, 'interrupted g…
Conducting binary‐exchange experiments is a common way to identify cationic preferences of exchanger phases and the two most common approaches are the flow‐through and batch methods. The objectives of this research were to provide the materials and methods for both flow‐through and batch equilibration techniques and t…
Abstract Poly [[2‐methoxy‐5‐(3‐sulfonatopropoxy)‐1, 4‐phenylene]‐1, 2‐ethenediyl] (MPS‐PPV) was an anionic water‐soluble conjugated polymer. A novel single‐component light‐emitting electrochemical cell (LEC) with an indium tin oxide/MPS‐PPV/aluminum sandwich structure has been successfully fabricated. MPS‐PPV serves a…
The coexistence of MA (space group Cm) and MC (space group Pm) phases in as-grown Pb(Mg1∕3Nb2∕3)0.68Ti0.32O3 (PMNT32) single crystals is observed at room temperature under polarization microscopy. Laminar MA and MC domains normal to ⟨110⟩cub direction appear alternately in PMNT32 single crystals. In the heating run, t…
GdF3:Eu(3+) nanocrystals (NCs) and nanorods were synthesized by a microemulsion-mediated hydrothermal process. The structure, shape and particle size were characterized by means of x-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) spectrum of GdF3:Eu(3+) NCs shows that th…
This paper reports the synthesis of well-aligned copper nanowires using an electrochemical deposition template technique. The electrical properties of copper nanowire arrays synthesized within vertical pores of alumina template were measured using a current-sensing atomic force microscope (AFM), with bias voltage appl…
Solid electrolytes play an important role in several technological applications, such as fuel cells. Optimization of such materials is often done by trial and error. The work of Andersson et al. (1) in this issue of PNAS demonstrates that the choice of dopants can be guided by computer simulations, in which parameters…
Effects of interfacial dislocations on the properties of ferroelectric thin films are investigated, using the dynamic Ginzburg–Landau equation. Our results confirm the existence of a dead layer near the film/substrate interface. Due to the combined effects of the dislocations and the near-surface eigenstrain relaxatio…
