The self-healing capability of bituminous materials has been known for many years. Researches were mostly focused on the self healing behaviour during load repetitions. The tests are either time consuming and/or complex. In this paper, a simple self healing test procedure is presented combining the fracture-healing-re…
A facile method is demonstrated for bonding assembled colloids without loss of colloidal stability by thermal annealing. Examples include both close-packed and non-close-packed structures. The confocal microscopy image shows a cross-section of a 3D labyrinthine structure after it was made permanent. The 3D network is…
A uniform polymer thin layer of controllable thickness was bar-coated onto a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown monolayer graphene surface. The effects of this coating layer on the optical, electric, and tribological properties were then investigated. The thin polymer coating layer did not reduce the optical transm…
We report the realization of grain alignment in Sn-added Sr1−xKxFe2As2 superconducting tapes with Fe sheath prepared by ex-situ powder-in-tube method. At 4.2 K, high transport critical current densities Jc of 2.5 × 104 A/cm2 (Ic = 180 A) in self-field and 3.5 × 103 A/cm2 (Ic = 25.5 A) in 10 T have been measured. These…
2,6-Di(pyrazole-3-yl)pyridine, 3-bpp, forms a porous (4(9)·6(6)) π-π mediated 3D network of trigonal pyramidal [Dy(III)(4)] carbonato-bridged complexes, with hexagonal channels comprising 54% of the unit cell volume, the material displaying slow magnetisation reversal.
The emergence and stability of superstructured cylindrical phases in frustrated ABC linear triblock copolymers are investigated by the self-consistent field theory. Our results reveal that the complex single/double/triple helices-on-cylinder phases are formed when the straight cylinders-on-cylinder and rings-on-cylind…
A sol–gel method is used to introduce fluorescent silica shells with tunable thickness on the spherical carbonyl iron particles (CIP) by a combined hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). Both gelatin B and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) are used as primers to render the metal particle su…
A magnetic personality: A unique dysprosium trigonal prism with a new polydentate Schiff-base ligand behaves as a single molecule magnet (SMM), which may stimulate further investigations into the relaxation dynamics of SMMs with different topologies (see figure).
The importance of noncovalent interactions in the realm of biological materials continues to inspire efforts to create artificial supramolecular polymeric architectures. These types of self-assembled materials hold great promise as environmentally stimuli-responsive materials because they are capable of adjusting thei…
Alkali metal doped p-type PbTe is a canonical thermoelectric material studied extensively for heat-to-power generation at high temperature. Most reports have indirectly indicated alkali metals to be conventional with PbTe forming homogeneous solid solutions. Using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), we show the pr…
Polyurethanes are excellent potential materials for the construction of implantable medical components due to their exceptional mechanical properties and biocompatibility. Currently, soft silicone materials are employed as insulation for implantable cochlear electrode arrays. Siloxane-based thermoplastic polyurethane…
Conducting polymers that absorb three primary colors, red, green, and blue (RGB), were introduced with a yellow electrochromic polymer (Y) for the preparation of black electrochromic devices. Red poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and blue poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) were coated on one side of the electrode as…
We investigate the formation mechanism of oxygen vacancies and the properties of charge carriers induced in the $n$-type interface of a LaAlO${}_{3}$ (LAO) overlayer on SrTiO${}_{3}$(001) (STO) by carrying out density-functional-theory (DFT) calculations. We find that the formation of a low concentration of oxygen vac…
Three types of iron oxide Janus particles are obtained by varying the deposition rate of iron in a 3:1 Ar/O(2) atmosphere during physical vapor deposition. Each type of iron oxide Janus particle shows a distinct assembly behavior when an external magnetic field is applied, i.e., formation of staggered chains, double c…
A combination of first-principles density functional theory calculations and a search over structures predicts the stability of a proton-transfer modification of ammonia monohydrate with space group P4/nmm. The phase diagram is calculated with the PBE density functional, and the effects of a semi-empirical dispersion…
Conventional models of planar and bulk heterojunction organic solar cells have been extended by introducing doping in the active layer. We have studied the performance of organic solar cells as a function of dopant concentration. For bulk heterojunction cells, the modeling shows that for the most studied material pair…
The temperature dependence of a vortex-based nano-oscillator induced by spin transfer torque (STVO) in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) is considered. We obtain emitted signals with large output power and good signal coherence. Due to the reduced non-linearities compared to the uniform magnetization case, we first obse…
We study through the time evolution of magnetization the low-temperature ($T$) dynamics of the metastable coexisting phases created by traversing different paths in magnetic field $H$ and $T$ space in a shape memory alloy system, Ni${}_{45}$Co${}_{5}$Mn${}_{38}$Sn${}_{12}$. It is shown that these coexisting phases con…
X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and magnetization measurements are employed to study the structural and magnetic properties of Mn-rich (Mn,Ga)As nanocrystals embedded in GaAs. These nanocomposites are obtained by moderate-temperature (400 \ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}C) and high-temperature…
Silver microflower arrays constructed by upright nanoplates and attached nanoparticles were fabricated inside a microfluidic channel, thus a robust catalytic microreactor for allowing in situ SERS monitoring was proposed. On-chip catalytic reduction shows that the silver microflowers have high catalytic activity and S…
