We study the electronic structures of a (001) surface of crystalline Nd2Fe14B by using a slab model, and estimate the crystal field parameters A20⟨r2⟩ at Nd sites based on first principles calculations. We find that the A20⟨r2⟩ for some Nd ions are negative. The present results imply that Nd ions located around the (0…

In this work, we focus on the diameter effects on cytotoxicity of different diametered multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). Cellular viability, phagocytotic ability, and apoptosis of guinea pig alveolar macrophages (AM) exposed to MWNTs were studied. MWNTs in smaller diameter showed less cytotoxicity than the larger…

The thermoelectric properties of La-doped and Ag/La codoped PbTe were investigated in the temperature range of 300 to ∼720 K. All samples crystallize in the NaCl-type structure without noticeable secondary phase and exhibit narrow bandgaps of 0.26−0.30 eV, typical of PbTe. La doping (≤5 at %) in PbTe significantly enh…

This article is devoted to the study of the Caginalp phase field system with dynamic boundary conditions and singular potentials. We first show that, for initial data in H 2, the solutions are strictly separated from the singularities of the potential. This turns out to be our main argument in the proof of the existen…

Abstract BACKGROUND: Hydrogen bonding is very important in determining the properties of nylons. Introducing nanofillers that can form hydrogen bonds with amide groups at the interfaces may result in a different hydrogen bonding stability. Understanding the extent of the difference in hydrogen bonding between nylons a…
