We present the complete formalism that describes scattering in graphene at low energies. We begin by analyzing the real-space free Green's function matrix and its analytical expansions at low energy, carefully incorporating the discrete lattice structure, and arbitrary forms of the atomic-orbital wave function. We the…

The effect of a randomly fluctuating gap, created by a random staggered potential, is studied in a monolayer and a bilayer of graphene. The density of states, the one-particle scattering rate, and the transport properties (diffusion coefficient and conductivity) are calculated at the neutrality point. All of these qua…

To examine the mechanisms for capillary condensation and for capillary evaporation in porous glass, we measured the hysteresis critical points and desorption scanning curves of nitrogen in four kinds of porous glasses with different pore sizes (Vycor, CPG75A, CPG120A, and CPG170A). The shapes of the hysteresis loop in…

Superparamagnetic nanoparticles were encapsulated in liposomes prior to the stepwise adsorption of polyelectrolytes of opposite charges commonly known as the layer-by-layer (LbL) technique. Magnetic fields allow a fast separation of coated liposomes from unbound polyelectrolytes. The coated particles were characterize…

Silkworms can produce strong and tough fibers at room temperature and from an aqueous solution. Therefore, it seems useful to study the mechanism of fiber formation by silkworms for development of synthetic polymers with excellent mechanical properties. The rheological behaviors of native silk dopes stored in the silk…

We describe a new way to impart pH-responsive properties to gels of biopolymers such as gelatin. This approach involves the embedding of pH-sensitive nanosized vesicles within the gel. The vesicles employed here are those of sodium oleate (NaOA), a fatty-acid-based amphiphile with a single C18 tail. In aqueous solutio…

Using molecular-dynamics simulations we demonstrate the existence of heat-pulse rectification in carbon nanotube Y junctions. The heat pulse is found to propagate unimpeded from stem to branches, while in the reverse direction there is a substantial reflection back into the branches with significantly reduced transmis…
