Fullerene nanomesh: Fullerene islands with rectangular shapes organize themselves on a vicinal gold surface in an extraordinarily well-ordered mesh with unprecedented periodicity and low defect density (see Figure). This adsorbate system is a promising candidate for guiding subsequent deposition of functional units.
Based on a simple low-temperature chemical-solution method, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are coated discontinuously with a alumina gate-dielectric shell (see Figure) and application as p-type field-effect transistors is demonstrated. With a coating thickness of 8 nm, the drain current exceeds the gate current…
Effects of intertube interactions on transport are studied numerically in incommensurate double-wall carbon nanotubes. The intertube transfer at each lattice site oscillates around zero in a complex plane as a function of position in a quasiperiodic manner and therefore cancels each other when being summed up. The can…
Abstract Summary: The grafting of two hydrophilic vinyl monomers, dimethylaminoethyl acrylate (DMAEA) and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA), onto natural rubber latex was carried out by emulsion polymerization using redox initiation. The effects of the redox initiator concentration and type (cumene hydroperoxid…
Using a renormalization group approach, we determine the phase diagram of an extended quasi-one-dimensional electron gas model that includes interchain hopping, nesting deviations, and both intrachain and interchain repulsive interactions. We find a close proximity of spin-density- and charge-density-wave phases and s…
In this paper, we present a novel hybrid numerical-analytical modeling method that is capable of predicting viscoelastic behavior of multiphase polymer nanocomposites, in which the nanoscopic fillers can assume complex configurations. By combining the finite element technique and a micromechanical approach (particular…
Collagen is a well known protein component that has the capacity to mineralize in a variety of vertebrate tissues. In its mineralized form, collagen potentially can be utilized as a biomimetic material for a variety of applications, including, for example, the augmentation and repair of damaged, congenitally defective…
Abstract Single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are recognized as the ultimate carbon fibers for high‐performance, multifunctional composites. The remarkable multifunctional properties of pristine SWNTs have proven, however, difficult to harness simultaneously in polymer composites, a problem that arises largely becau…
Abstract The effects of particle size and surface treatment of CaCO 3 particles on the microstructure and mechanical properties of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) composites filled with CaCO 3 particles via a melt blending method were studied by SEM, an AG‐2000 universal material testing machine and an XJU‐2.75 Izod impact…
A description of dislocations and disclinations defects in terms of Riemann--Cartan geometry is given, with the curvature and torsion tensors being interpreted as the surface densities of the Frank and Burgers vectors, respectively. A new free energy expression describing the static distribution of defects is presente…
The mixed-alkali effect in the cation dynamics in silicate glasses is analyzed via molecular dynamics simulations. Observations suggest a description of the dynamics in terms of stable sites mostly specific to one ionic species. As main contributions to the mixed-alkali slow down longer residence times and an increase…
The interfacial strength between carbon nanotubes and a polymer matrix increases dramatically when the carbon-nanotube surface is chemically modified. As individual nanotubes are pulled from a polymer matrix, a transition from pullout to fracture occurs (see Figure) at a critical nanotube embedded length, with chemica…
We have demonstrated near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy as a particularly useful and effective technique for simultaneously probing the surface chemistry, surface molecular orientation, degree of order, and electronic structure of carbon nanotubes and related nanomaterials. Specifically, w…
Single-crystalline lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) nanowires show excellent electric-field-induced electron emission following the Fowler–Nordheim scheme. The LaB6 nanowires grow in the <001> crystallographic direction (see Figure) with diameters of about 20 nm. An emission current of 30 nA from a single nanowire, corresp…
Polypyrrole nanowires can be template synthesized, and have been tested and characterized as to their ability to function as nanoactuators in an aqueous environment. This is the first report of conducting-polymer nanowires functioning as electrically controlled nanoactuators (see Figure). Bundles of parallel nanowires…
Abstract The electrical properties of nanostructured, heavily yttria‐ or samaria‐doped ceria ceramics are studied as a function of grain size using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). A remarkable enhancement in the total ionic conductivity of about one order of magnitude is found in nanostructured samples,…
The design of a drug-delivery system based on bioconjugated, pH-responsive microgels is demonstrated. Microgels loaded with the anticancer drug Doxorubicin are introduced into the HeLa tumor cells by means of receptor- mediated endocytosis. Changes in pH within the intracellular environment induce shrinkage of microge…
Abstract A critical analysis of recent advances in the synthesis and electrical characterization of nanofibers and nanotubes made of different conjugated polymers is presented. The applicability of various theoretical models is considered in order to explain results on transport in conducting polymer nanofibers and na…
We report the observation of single photon emission from single SiV (silicon-vacancy) centres in diamond produced by ion implantation. The high photostability and the narrow emission bandwidth of about 5 nm at room temperature make SiV centres interesting as a single photon source in practical quantum cryptography. We…
The energy of electron Fermi sea perturbed by external potential, represented as energy anomaly which accounts for the contribution of the deep-lying states, is analyzed for massive d = 1+1 Dirac fermions on a circle. The anomaly is a universal function of the applied field, and is related to known field-theoretic ano…
