One-dimensional (1D) CdS@ZnS core-shell nanocomposites were successfully synthesized via a two-step solvothermal method. Preformed CdS nanowires with a diameter of ca. 45 nm and a length up to several tens of micrometers were coated with a layer of ZnS shell by the reaction of zinc acetate and thiourea at 180 °C for 1…
Observations on colossal electroresistance (ER) and giant magnetoresistance in doped PbPdO2, one of the candidates of a new class of materials, spin gap-less semiconductors, are reported. The resistivity is strongly suppressed by electrical current below a metal-insulator transition with the ER values of up to 107, wh…
Graft work: The first surface-initiated and site-specific palladium-catalyzed Suzuki polycondensation that allows selective grafting and patterning of semiconducting and emissive poly[9,9-bis(2-ethylhexyl)fluorene] (1) at room temperature is developed (see scheme). The patterning is demonstrated by AFM (see image).
Nominally pure undoped parent manganite ${\text{LaMnO}}_{3}$ exhibits a puzzling behavior inconsistent with a simple picture of an $A$-type antiferromagnetic insulator (A-AFI) with a cooperative Jahn-Teller ordering. We do assign its anomalous properties to charge transfer (CT) instabilities and competition between in…
The progress in understanding the behavior of glassy mixed ionic conductors within the concept of the defect model for the mixed mobile ion effect (V. Belostotsky, J. Non-Cryst. Solids 353 (2007) 1078) is reported. It is shown that in a mixed ionic conductor (e.g., mixed alkali glass) containing two or more types of d…
Three d(10)-d(10) transition-metal complexes with organosulfur ligands, Cu(6)(btt)(6) (1), Cu(4)(btt)(4) (2), and Ag(6)(bmt)(6) x 6 THF (3) (Hbtt = 2-benzothiazolethiol, Hbmt = 2-benzimidazolethiol, and THF = tetrahydrofuran), were synthesized and characterized. Complexes 1 and 2 with similar coordination environments…
Gadolinium oxide host and europium/dysprosium/terbium doped gadolinium oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using the sonochemical technique. Gadolinium oxide nanocrystals were also co-doped with total 2 mol% of Eu(3+)/Dy(3+),Eu(3+)/Tb(3+),Dy(3+)/Tb(3+), and also Eu(3+)/Dy(3+)/Tb(3+) ions, by the same method. The nano…
We solve the standard Lifshitz-Slyozov (LS) model with conservation of total particles in the limit of small super-saturation. The new element is an effective initial condition that follows from the initial exhaustion of nucleation as described in a previous paper [Farjoun and Neu, Phys. Rev. E 78]. The effective init…
Crystalline polymers are very interesting and useful materials with great versatility through their potential morphology control. Recent surge in computer modeling studies has its origin both in increasing need for efficient methods of materials' design and in tremendous developments in computer power that is expected…
This note corrects some errors in a previously published paper: Size-dependent piezoelectricity and elasticity in nanostructures due to the flexoelectric effect[PHYSICAL REVIEW B 77, 125424 (2008)]. The comlete published paper is also included in this note.
We obtained the spectral function of the graphite H point using high resolution angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES). The extracted width of the spectral function (inverse of the photo-hole lifetime) near the H point is approximately proportional to the energy as expected from the linearly increasing dens…
We report on the occurrence of exchange bias on laser-ablated granular thin films composed of Co nanoparticles embedded in amorphous zirconia matrix. The deposition method allows controlling the degree of oxidation of the Co particles by tuning the oxygen pressure at the vacuum chamber (from 2x10^{-5} to 10^{-1} mbar)…
Exchange bias has been studied in a series of ${\text{La}}_{2/3}{\text{Ca}}_{1/3}{\text{MnO}}_{3}/{\text{La}}_{1/3}{\text{Ca}}_{2/3}{\text{MnO}}_{3}$ bilayers grown on (001) ${\text{SrTiO}}_{3}$ substrates by ozone-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy. The high crystalline quality of the samples and interfaces has been ver…
Progress toward clinical application of biodegradable fluorescent calcium phosphate (CP) nanoparticles as a bioimaging agent requires detailed knowledge of chromophore interaction with CP. As readouts of this cargo-matrix interaction, we determined the principle photophysical properties of Cy3 encapsulated in CP nanpa…
A sense of cell-being: Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are functionalized with bioactive monosaccharides to enable their use as biosensors. The glycosylated nanotube network is biocompatible and can interface with living cells (see scheme) to electronically detect biomolecular release with high temporal resolut…
Nanocomposites based on a thermoplastic elastomer, poly[styrene- b- (ethylene- co -butylene)- b -styrene] triblock copolymer (SEBS), and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were fabricated using a high-shear processing technique. The MWCNTs were homogeneously dispersed in the SEBS matrix, even at an MWCNT concentrat…
Love waves are dispersive interfacial waves that are a mode of response for anti-plane motions of an elastic layer bonded to an elastic half-space. Similarly, Stoneley waves are interfacial waves in bonded contact of dissimilar elastic half-spaces, when the displacements are in the plane of the solids. It is shown tha…
Four basic processes are envisioned, among them migration (diffusion), local rotation (reorientation), isothermic chemical reactions and nucleation. All of them are unified by a common approach to the barrier currents that has been suggested as far back as 1961 by John Bardeen and then extended by Stefan Christov some…
We have studied the magneto-optical Kerr effect and optical reflectance of perpendicular magnetized Co/Pt films on self-assembly two-dimensional polystyrene spheres. It is shown that the magneto-optical and the reflectance spectra are correlated to each other. Calculations have shown that the magneto-optical Kerr rota…
We have observed strong photoluminescence from a single CdSe quantum dot embedded in a ZnSe nanowire. Exciton, biexciton and charged exciton lines have been identified unambiguously using photon correlation spectroscopy. This technique has provided a detailed picture of the dynamics of this new system. This type of se…
