Anisotropic magnetic and electronic transport measurements were carried out on large single crystals of ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Co}}_{x}{\mathrm{Sb}}_{2}$ $(0\ensuremath{\leqslant}x\ensuremath{\leqslant}1)$. The semiconducting state of $\mathrm{Fe}{\mathrm{Sb}}_{2}$ evolves into metallic and weakly f…
We demonstrate the presence of an important anisotropic magnetoresistance contribution to the domain wall resistance recently measured in thin-film (Ga,Mn)As with in-plane magnetic anisotropy. Analytic results for simple domain wall orientations supplemented by numerical results for more general cases show this previo…
We have succeeded in synthesizing of single crystals of a new intermetallic compound, Ce$_{3}$Rh$_{4}$Pb$_{13}$. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate that the Ce moments are highly localized, despite the metallic character of the electrical resistivity. Heat capacity measurements reveal that the cubic crystal…
Cross-polarized absorption peaks of isolated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were observed by polarized photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectroscopy. Using a simple theory for PL anisotropy, the observed PLE spectra are decomposed into ``pure'' components of the photoexcitation for incident light polarized p…
It is shown that the band structure of single-wall semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNT) is analogous to relativistic description of electrons in vacuum, with the maximum velocity $u={10}^{8}\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{cm}∕\mathrm{s}$ replacing the light velocity. One-dimensional semirelativistic kinematics and…
Vertically aligned ZnO nanorods with uniform diameter and length have been synthesized on a zinc foil substrate with ammonium persulfate as oxidant via a facile, larger scale production and inexpensively synthesized method without any templates or additives. SEM and XRD studies indicate that ZnO nanorods are well-orie…
In this study silica- and alkoxysilane-coated ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) particles were synthesized, and their ability to label immortalized progenitor cells for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was compared. USPIO particles were synthesized by coprecipitation of ferric and ferrous salts. Subseque…
Hydrogen-bonding amphiphilic low molecular weight plasticizing compounds to one block of diblock copolymers to form supramolecular comblike blocks leads to hierarchical self-assembly at the block copolymer (long) and amphiphile (short) length scales, in which lamellar-in-lamellar order and the related phase transition…
Polyamorphism, i.e. the presence of more than one amorphous state, was observed for the first time in amorphous ice or glassy water. In addition to LDA (low-density amorphous ice), a second amorphous state, HDA (high-density amorphous ice), was discovered ∼20 years ago. Since then, polyamorphism has been observed in m…
Colloidal microgels have recently received attention as environmentally responsive systems and now are increasingly used in applications as carriers for therapeutic drugs and diagnostic agents. Synthetic microgels consist of a crosslinked polymer network that provides a depot for loaded drugs, protection against envir…
[{Dy(hfac)(3)}(2){Fe(bpca)(2)}] x CHCl(3) ([Dy(2)Fe]) and [{Dy(hfac)(3)}(2){Ni(bpca)(2)}]CHCl(3) ([Dy(2)Ni]) (in which hfac(-)=1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonate and bpca(-)=bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amine anion) were synthesized and characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction shows that [Dy(2)Fe] and [Dy(2)Ni] are…
The fact that in vivo the extracellular matrix (ECM) or substratum with which cells interact often includes topography at the nanoscale underscores the importance of investigating cell-substrate interactions and performing cell culture at the submicron scale. An important and exciting direction of research in nanomedi…
From first-principles calculations, we predict that a single ethylene molecule can form a stable complex with two transition metals (TM) such as Ti. The resulting TM-ethylene complex then absorbs up to ten hydrogen molecules, reaching to gravimetric storage capacity of approximately 14 wt %. Dimerization, polymerizati…
In this paper, we explore electron filtering as a technique to increase the Seebeck coefficient and the thermoelectric power factor of heterostructured materials over that of the bulk. We present a theoretical model in which the Seebeck coefficient and the power factor can be increased in an ${\mathrm{In}}_{0.53}{\mat…
Quantification of mixtures via the Rietveld method is generally restricted to crystalline phases for which structures are well known. Phases that have not been identified or fully characterized may be easily quantified as a group, along with any amorphous material in the sample, by the addition of an internal standard…
We show that the symmetry of the spin zigzag chain E phase of the orthorhombic perovskite manganites and nickelates allows for the existence of a finite ferroelectric polarization. The proposed microscopic mechanism is independent of spin-orbit coupling. We predict that the polarization induced by the E-type magnetic…
Abstract A novel approach is proposed to derive a theoretical curve, δ( E P ), from the equation for construction of a database of the secondary electron emission ( k , α), where δ( E P ) and [d E /d z ] are the secondary yield and energy dissipation in depth, respectively, for incident electrons of primary energy, E…
The homogeneous crystallization of liquid rubidium models containing 500, 998, and 1968 particles in the basic cube was studied by the molecular dynamics method. The liquid crystallized over the temperature range 70–182.5 K predominantly with the formation of a body centered cubic (BCC) structure. The mechanism of cry…
Ceramic coatings are fabricated on pure aluminium by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in three kinds of electrolyte systems [E1: 0.05M NaOH+0.033M Na 2 SiO 3 , E2: 0.025M NaOH+0.008M (NaPO 3 ) 6 and E3: 0.025M NaOH+0.066M Na 2 SiO 3 +0.008M (NaPO 3 ) 6 ]. The voltage–time responses show that the PEO process of E2 h…
Abstract Reticular nickel microwires assembled from different‐shaped building blocks are fabricated by a simple, one‐pot method in the absence of any surfactants or external magnetic field. The synthetic process involves the chemical reduction of a nickel complex with hydrazine under controlled reaction conditions. Ou…
