The effects of noble metal (NM) dopants (NM = Pt, Rh) on the structural and electronic properties of ceria are studied using a density functional theory (DFT) method, with the inclusion of on-site Coulomb interaction (DFT+ U ). It is found that these NM dopants give rise to large perturbations of the atomic and electr…
(1− x )(K 0.48 Na 0.52 )(Nb 0.95 Ta 0.05 )O 3 – x LiSbO 3 [(1− x )KNNT− x LS] lead‐free piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid‐state sintering method. A morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) between orthorhombic and tetragonal phases was identified in the composition range of 0.03< x <0.05. T…
Laminated composites of magnetostrictive and piezoelectric layers have been developed for their magnetoelectric (ME) product tensor properties. In spite of the considerable progress in materials aspects, little attention has been given to ME laminate incorporation into a detection technology. Here, we present a ME tec…
Best PALs. We have applied a photoswitchable affinity label (PAL) to the optical control of protein function. The enzymatic activity of native carbonic anhydrase was controlled with covalently tethered, photoswitchable inhibitors (see scheme). This system allows the photoregulation of native proteins without site-spec…
A new 3D porous and biostable collagen scaffold has been developed to improve the biocompatibility of implantable glucose sensors by minimizing tissue reactions while stimulating angiogenesis around the sensors. The novel collagen scaffold was crosslinked using nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) to enhance biostability.…
The surface of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIO) with different molecular weight of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and folic acid (FA) were synthesized. The SPIO-PEG-FA nanoparticles are well-dispersed and have good stability in various pH solutions. The lack of hysterestis and remanence at ambient temper…
Atomistic modelling studies of the apatite-type oxide ion conductor La9.33(GeO4)6O2 show that a key role of the O4 channel oxygen atoms appears to be as a reservoir for the creation of interstitial oxide ion defects, while the migration of these defects proceeds via the GeO4 tetrahedra.
In this paper, a systematic approach to the design of bulk isotropic magnetic metamaterials is presented. The roles of the symmetries of both the constitutive element and the lattice are analyzed. For this purpose, it is assumed that the metamaterial is composed of cubic split ring resonators (SRRs) arranged in a cubi…
The effect of grain size of magnesia and its content as well as spark plasma sintering conditions on the density, grain size, strength, hardness, and toughness of alumina was investigated. Spark plasma sintering conditions were optimized at 1150°C/5 min/175°C/min. Addition of 100 nm magnesia gave higher density levels…
In this work the homogenization approach recently proposed in [M. Silveirinha, Phys. Rev. B 75, 115104 (2007)] is applied to derive the analog of the classical Lorentz-Lorenz formula in a generic dielectric crystal, considering the effects of frequency and spatial dispersion. In particular, we obtain a rigorous formul…
Abstract The hybridization of thermoplastic natural rubber based on carbon fiber (CF) and kenaf fiber (KF) was investigated for its mechanical and thermal properties. Hybrid composites were fabricated with a melt‐blending method in an internal mixer. Samples with overall fiber contents of 5, 10, 15, and 20 vol % were…
Abstract We evaluate the feasibility of electrospinning oil‐in‐water type emulsions. The emulsions had an aqueous solution of polyethylene oxide (PEO) as the continuous phase, and either mineral oil or a polystyrene (PS) in toluene solution as the drop phase. The Taylor cones and electrified liquid jets were stable ev…
During high‐temperature oxidation of ZrB 2 –SiC composites, a multi‐layer oxide scale forms with a silica‐rich borosilicate liquid as the surface oxide layer. Here, a recently proposed novel mechanism for the high‐temperature oxidation of ZrB 2 –SiC composites is further investigated and verified. This mechanism invol…
Polymer‐derived ceramic composites are being investigated as environmental barrier coatings to protect stainless steel from oxidation and carburization. Coatings have been produced using poly(hydridomethylsiloxane) as a preceramic polymer and titanium disilicide as an expansion agent. Processing parameters have been o…
Nanotwinned copper has been shown to greatly improve the yield strength while maintaining good electrical conductivity. It has great potential to be incorporated in the very-large-scale integration of Cu interconnect technology. The influence of stress/strain on nanotwin formation is studied using first principles cal…
CaCu 3 Ti 4 O 12 (CCTO) ceramics with high dielectric constant (2–4 × 10 4 ) and low loss (0.04) were prepared by the sol–gel process and sintered at 1050°C for different times. The sintering time has a sensitive influence on the values of the dielectric constant and nonlinear coefficient. Tailored dielectric constant…
The microstructure, thermal expansion, mechanical property, and ionic conductivity of samaria‐doped ceria (SDC) prepared by coprecipitation were investigated in this paper. The results revealed that the average particle size ranged from 10.9±0.4 to 13.5±0.5 nm, crystallite dimension varied from 8.6±0.3 to 10.7±0.4 nm,…
In this review, the quantum transport of nitrogen-doped metallic carbon nanotubes under magnetic field are explored. An accurate modeling of chemical disorder effects is derived from ab initio calculations. General properties for low bias Landauer conductance are investigated in the coherent regime, which enlighten th…
We present a remarkable effect of Mn doping on the dielectric and nonlinear electric properties of CaCu3Ti4O12 ceramics. The results indicate that only 2.5at.% Mn doping can suppress the dielectric permitivity in CaCu3Ti4O12 by up to two orders of magnitude (from 104 to 102), and the nonlinear varistor characteristics…
Abstract BACKGROUND: Neural prosthetic devices have been developed that can facilitate the stimulation and recording of electrical activity when implanted in the central nervous system. The key parts of the devices are metal (gold) electrodes; however, surface modification of the gold electrode is desired. Conducting…
