Nanomaterials are at the leading edge of the rapidly developing field of nanotechnology. Their unique size-dependent properties make these materials superior and indispensable in many areas of human activity. This brief review tries to summarise the most recent developments in the field of applied nanomaterials, in pa…
We investigate a one-dimensional Hamiltonian system that describes a system of particles interacting through short-range repulsive potentials. Depending on the particle mean energy epsilon the system demonstrates a spectrum of kinetic regimes, characterized by their transport properties ranging from ballistic motion t…
We deposited high quality ZnO film by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) using high quality ZnO powder prepared by solid-state pyrolytic reaction. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the infrared (IR) absorption spectrum clearly indicate that the ZnO phase powder has been prepared. Transmission electron microscop…
Situating carbon nanotubes (CNTs) near the cathode of a microplasma device, or integrating CNTs directly into the device cathode, reduces significantly the operating and ignition voltages for the device. Radiant output is also improved and the greatest benefit to device operation is realised when the CNTs are deposite…
A spectroscopic Judd–Ofelt investigation has been performed on Pr3+ ions doped in calcium fluorapatite, Ca5(PO4)3F, belonging to the apatite structure family. The standard Judd–Ofelt analysis was applied to the room temperature absorption intensities of Pr3+ transitions to determine the phenomenological intensity para…

The dynamics of polarization switching have been investigated over extremely broad time (10−8<t<102 s) and field ranges for (001)c, (110)c, and (111)c-oriented Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3–4.5%PbTiO3 crystals. The results demonstrate the presence of broad relaxation time distributions that can extend over a decade(s…
We formulate a physical model to extract effective dose and defocus (EDD) from pattern profile data and demonstrate its efficacy in the analysis of in-line scatterometer measurements. From the measurement of a single target structure, the model enables simultaneous computation of pattern dimensions pre-calibrated to t…
Bulk perovskite manganese oxide La1−xSbxMnO3 (x=0.05,0.1) samples were prepared using solid-state reaction technology. Electrical transport and magnetic properties have been investigated. The experimental results show that the compound exhibits typical colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) behavior. The temperature and tim…
We report on a Monte Carlo study of the pathway for crystal nucleation in a fluid of short, hard, colloidal rods. In the earliest stages of nucleation, a single-layered lamellar crystallite forms. Subsequent thickening of this lamella is hampered by the fact that the top and bottom surfaces of the crystallite are pref…
Substantial progress has been made recently in extending the supramolecular assembly of biomimetic structures to vesicle-based sophisticated nanocomposites and mesostructures. We report herein the successful preparation of unilamellar surfactant vesicles coated with a monolayer of ring-shaped [Mo(154)] polyoxometalate…
An overview is given of the isotropic and nematic phase behaviour in binary mixtures of hard rods or plates with different lengths or diameters within the framework of the Onsager theory. On the basis of Gaussian trial functions the relative importance of different entropic contributions in the demixing of the isotrop…
The mechanism involved in the Tm3+ (3F4)→Ho3+ (5I7) energy transfer and Tm3+ (3H4, 3H6)→Tm3+ (3F4, 3F4) cross relaxation as a function of the donor and acceptor concentrations was investigated in Tm–Ho-codoped fluorozirconate glasses. The experimental transfer rates were determined for the Tm→Ho energy transfer from t…
The phase behavior of block copolymers melts involving competing length scales, i.e., able to microphase separate on two different length scales, is theoretically investigated using a self-consistent field approach. The specific block copolymers studied consist of a linear A-block linked to an alternating (A- alt -B)-…
The review describes the studies of the magneto-optical properties of II-VI and III-V semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) capped with organic or inorganic epitaxial shells. The investigations focused on the chemical identification of localization sites (core, shell, or interface) of photogenerated carriers in spherical N…
We present the results of our numerical calculations that focus on the dynamics of a nematic liquid crystal around a spherical particle imposing strong homeotropic anchoring at the surface. The first part of this article is devoted to the discussion of the effect of an external magnetic or electric field on the direct…
Abstract Two methacrylate‐modified clays have been prepared and used to produce nanocomposites of polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) by in situ polymerization. These nanocomposites have been characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), cone…
Abstract A film of poly‐ L ‐lysine (PLL) adheres better to the surface of a glassy carbon electrode when the PLL is partially cross‐linked by means of glutaraldehyde. A film composition of 97.5% PLL/2.5% glutaraldehyde gives good adhesion and retains the anionic exchange capability of the PLL. The performance of the f…
The effect of hydrostatic pressure on crystal field (CF) transitions of Nd-doped ${\mathrm{YVO}}_{4}$ has been studied by luminescence spectroscopy at $T=5\mathrm{K}.$ Specifically, emissions from the ${}^{4}{F}_{3/2}(1)$ and ${}^{4}{F}_{3/2}(2)$ excited levels to the ${}^{4}{I}_{9/2}$ and ${}^{4}{I}_{11/2}$ multiplet…
Low dielectric constant silica based films which incorporate a large amount of nanometer sized pores are attractive candidates as interlayer dielectrics in future gigascale integrated circuits chip technology. Nanoporous silica based films were deposited by surfactant templated self-assembly spin-on deposition (SOD).…
