We report a large entropy change (DeltaS) below 300 K, peaking near TC= 220 K, due to isothermal change of magnetic field, for Gd4Co3, with a refrigeration capacity higher than that of Gd. Notably, the isothermal magnetization is nonhysteretic - an important criterion for magnetic refrigeration without loss. DeltaS be…
The formation and stability of a shear-induced shish-kebab structure was investigated by in situ rheo-SAXS (small-angle X-ray scattering) and -WAXD (wide-angle X-ray diffraction) measurements of highly entangled polyethylene melts based on two polymer blends, containing small fractions (2 and 5 wt %) of ultra-high mol…
Emulsions stabilized through the adsorption of colloidal particles at the liquid-liquid interface have long been used and investigated in a number of different applications. The interfacial adsorption of particles can be induced by adjusting the particle wetting behavior in the liquid media. Here, we report a new appr…
We derive the Schrödinger equation for a spinless charged particle constrained to move on a curved surface in the presence of an electric and magnetic field. The particle is confined on the surface using a thin-layer procedure, which gives rise to the well-known geometric potential. The electric and magnetic fields ar…
We apply continuum connectedness percolation theory to realistic carbon nanotube systems and predict how bending flexibility, length polydispersity, and attractive interactions between them influence the percolation threshold, demonstrating that it can be used as a predictive tool for designing nanotube-based composit…
We demonstrate a direct correlation between the domain structure of multiferroic BiFeO3 thin films and exchange bias of Co 0.9Fe 0.1/BiFeO3 heterostructures. Two distinct types of interactions - an enhancement of the coercive field ( exchange enhancement) and an enhancement of the coercive field combined with large sh…
The effect of phenols reactivity with formaldehyde on the formation of ordered mesoporous carbons has been investigated. A strategy to accelerate the polymerization of phenolic resins by using strongly acidic conditions is proposed. The self-assembly of resorcinol-formaldehyde and block copolymers (e.g., F127) under h…
A procedure for preparing individualized chitin nanofibers 3-4 nm in cross-sectional width and at least a few microns in length was developed. The key factors to prepare the chitin nanofibers with such high aspect ratios are as follows: (1) squid pen beta-chitin is used as the starting material and (2) ultrasonication…
The molecular formulas and charge state distributions of thus-far known ubiquitous alkanethiolate-protected gold clusters with core-masses of 8 and 29 kDa were assessed using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The 8 and 29 kDa clusters were determined to be composed of single species, [Au38(SCn)24]z and [Au144…
If graphene is ever going to live up to the promises of future nanoelectronic devices, an easy and cheap route for mass production is an essential requirement. A way to extend the capabilities of plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition to the synthesis of freestanding few-layer graphene is presented. Micrometre-wid…
Multitasking rust ball: The questions of where a tumor is located, whether drugs are properly delivered to the tumor, and what the therapeutic response of the tumor is, could be answered by using simple but smart, drug-loaded superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles that can accumulate in tumor with high efficiency…
The authors extend their recent method for the computation of vibrationally resolved optical spectra of large molecules, including both the Duschinsky rotation and the effect of finite temperature in the framework of the Franck-Condon (FC) approximation, to deal with the more general case of the Herzberg-Teller (HT) m…
Based on the concept of band bending at metal/semiconductor interfaces as an energy filter for electrons, we present a theory for the enhancement of the thermoelectric properties of semiconductor materials with metallic nanoinclusions. We show that the Seebeck coefficient can be significantly increased due to a strong…
Density functional studies of 26 K superconducting LaFeAs(O,F) are reported. We find a low carrier density, high density of states, N(E(F)), and modest phonon frequencies relative to T(c). The high N(E(F)) leads to proximity to itinerant magnetism, with competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic fluctuations and th…
Abstract An optical nondestructive strain measurement technique was performed to analyze the mechanical deformation induced by an electrical field within the insulating materials. Poly(ethylene naphthalene 2,6‐dicarboxylate) (PEN) films were then subjected to constant electrical fields right up to their electrical bre…
Abstract A novel approach to the surface modification of medical poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) with atomic oxygen radical anions‐dissolved solution (named as O – water) has been investigated. The O – water was generated by bubbling of the O – (atomic oxygen radical anion) flux into the deionized water. The surface hydrop…
Abstract Surface modification of silica by acetylene plasma polymerization is applied in order to improve the dispersion in and compatibility with single rubbers and their blends. Silica, used as a reinforcing filler for elastomers, is coated with a polyacetylene (PA) film under vacuum conditions. Water penetration me…
In this work, we report a new peptide RATEA16 nanofiber hydrogel as a drug delivery system for protein, and the protein-nanofiber assemblies are formed based on hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. The loading/release process is reversible by changing media pH, and the protein released from the hydrogel returne…
Using synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), we have studied the structures of the two CdSe/CdTe and CdTe/CdSe type II quantum dots (QDs), including the crystalline structure, particle shape and size, as well as phase separation of the two components. The X-ray results sug…
Positive Diskriminierung: Die palladiumkatalysierte [3+2]-Anellierung von meso-Bromporphyrin mit Norbornenen liefert effizient chirale meso,β-anellierte Porphyrine mit starrer Struktur (siehe Bild). Ein chirales Benzoazanorbornen-anelliertes Zinkporphyrin bildet selektiv das verschoben cofaciale Dimer, was den Aufbau…
