We show that covalent functionalization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition is a powerful method for enhancing the ability to process CNTs and facilitating the preparation of hybrid composites, which is achieved solely by mixing. CNTs were functionalized with phenol groups, providing stable disper…

Au- and Ag-ZnO composite nanocrystals having a dumbbell-like structure were successfully synthesized through the nucleation and decomposition of zinc hydroxide at the surface of pre-existing Au and Ag nanoparticles, respectively. The average size of the Au and Ag nanoparticles used was ∼4 nm and that of the ZnO nanocr…

Equilibrium swelling is a feasible and simple experiment to determine the cross-link density of networks. It is the most popular and useful approach; however, in most of the cases, the given values are highly uncertain if not erroneous. The description of the complex thermodynamics of swollen polymer networks is usual…

Relaxation times in KH 3 (SeO 3 ) 2 crystals were measured as functions of temperature. There are no significant changes in T 1 for 1 H and 39 K nuclei at T C , except for a change in the number of proton and potassium signals. The role of structural changes in this transition is relatively minor. The transition is dr…

We formed BoFeO3 (BFO) thin films by chemical solutions deposition on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) structures and achieved low leakage current density at room temperature. The XPS spectrum confirmed that the valance state of Fe in our BFO thin films was mainly Fe3+, which is associated with low leakage current density in BFO th…

BaTiO3 films were deposited by the direct vapor deposition (DVD) technique to prepare thin dielectric layers for multilayer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs). The BaTiO3 films were successfully prepared by co-evaporation of the BaTiO3 ceramic and Ti metal source. The films deposited at room temperature and 600°C were am…

We study the effect of non-Markovian reservoirs on the heat conduction properties of short to intermediate size molecular chains. Using classical molecular dynamics simulations, we show that the distance dependence of the heat current is determined not only by the molecular properties, rather it is also critically inf…

Scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy were conducted over a broad temperature range on single crystals of Pr 0.68 Pb 0.32 MnO 3 . Spectroscopic studies revealed inhomogeneous maps of the zero-bias conductance with a broad distribution of the local conductivities only within a narrow temperature range close to…

The crystal structure and the local atomic order of a series of nanocrystalline ZrO 2 –CaO solid solutions with varying CaO content were studied by synchrotron radiation X-ray powder diffraction and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. These samples were synthesized by a pH-controlled nitrate…
