Abstract A combined approach towards ductile damage and fracture is presented, in the sense that a continuous material degradation is coupled with a discrete crack description for large deformations. Material degradation is modelled by a gradient enhanced damage‐hyperelastoplasticity model. It is assumed that failure…
The atomic-scale structure of nanocrystalline Ba x Sr 1 - x TiO 3 ( x = 1, 0.5, 0) powders has been studied using high-energy X-ray diffraction, Rietveld refinement, and the atomic pair distribution function technique. The studies show that the materials are well-ordered at nanometer length distances. The three-dimens…
Hard piezoelectrics with high dielectric and piezoelectric constants are used for high‐power applications. However, the sintering temperature of these ceramics is high, around 1200°C, restricting the usage of cheap base metal electrodes in fabrication of multi‐layer components. This study investigates the effect of Cu…
The recombination dynamics of zinc-blende-type, deep-red emitting CdTe/CdS core-shell nanocrystals is studied over a wide temperature range. Two characteristic decay regimes are found: a temperature-dependent decay component of a few nanoseconds and a long-living temperature-independent component of approximately 315…
We demonstrate the sphere organization of ZnO, Bi2S3, MnO2, and La(OH)3 nanorods directed by PEG linear polymer. Our study shows that zinc, bismuth, manganese, or lanthanum species added to PEG solutions, in which PEG molecules are well dissolved in a coil state, convert the polymer coils to aggregate structures, whic…
Gold-selective adsorbents were prepared from mesoporous MCM-41 silica by grafting organic amine groups (i.e., RNH2, R2NH, and R3N; R=propyl). NH2-MCM-41, NRH-MCM-41, and NR2-MCM-41 displayed strong affinity for gold and at 1 mmol/g loading adsorbed 0.40, 0.33, and 0.20 mmol/g of gold. Copper and nickel were not adsorb…
The release of the water-soluble drug Captopril is controlled by tailoring the surface properties of mesoporous silica via stepwise silylation. The degree of silylation is manipulated by adjusting the initial concentration of silylanizing reagent (trimethylchlorosilane, TMCS). The silylanized and drug-loaded samples a…
Nanocrystalline MAl 2 O 4 (M=Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) spinel powders are synthesized by pyrolysis of complex compounds of aluminum and transition metal (cobalt, nickel, copper, and zinc) with triethanolamine (TEA). The precursor materials are formed on complete dehydration of the soluble complexes of aluminum–TEA and transitio…
Due to their greater photostability compared to established organic fluorescence markers, semiconductor quantum dots provide an attractive alternative for the biolabeling of living cells. On the basis of a comparative investigation using differently sized thiol-stabilized CdTe nanocrystals in a variety of commonly use…
We report an implementation of the $\mathrm{LDA}+U$ method based on the state-of-the-art linear combination of pseudo-atomic orbital (LCPAO) method, which is suitable for large-scale $\mathrm{O}(N)$ electronic structure calculations based on the density functional theory. By introducing a dual representation of the oc…
A microscopic theory for the interaction of carriers with LO phonons is used to study the ultrafast carrier dynamics in nitride-based semiconductor quantum dots. It is shown that the efficiency of scattering processes is directly linked to quasi-particle renormalizations. The electronic states of the interacting syste…
Spin-dependent tunneling through an indirect bandgap barrier like the GaAs/AlAs/GaAs heterostructure along [001] direction is studied by the tight-binding method. The tunneling is characterized by the proportionality of the Dresselhaus Hamiltonians at $Γ$ and $X$ points in the barrier and by Fano resonances. The prese…
Gold nanoparticle and gold/semiconductor nanocomposite thin films have been deposited using aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD). A preformed gold colloid in toluene was used as a precursor to deposit gold films onto silica glass. These nanoparticle films showed the characteristic plasmon absorption of Au…
In this article, we describe the formation of carbon nanotube (CNT)-gold nanoparticle composites in aqueous solution using 1-pyrenemethylamine (Py-CH2NH2) as the interlinker. The alkylamine substituent of 1-pyrenemethylamine binds to a gold nanoparticle, while the pyrene chromophore is noncovalently attached to the si…
Using first principles simulations we perform a detailed study of the structural, electronic and transport properties of monoatomic platinum chains, sandwiched between platinum electrodes. First we demonstrate that the most stable atomic configuration corresponds to a zigzag arrangement that gradually straightens as t…
Investigations of electrical properties of long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) arrays exposed to gamma-radiation have been performed. Resistance-area product characteristics of LWIR n{+}-p photodiodes have been investigated using microprobe technique at T=78 K before and after an exposure t…
The lanthanide stannates, Ln2Sn2O7, Ln=La-Lu and Y, have the isometric pyrochlore structure, A2B2O7, and their structural properties have been refined by Rietveld analysis of powder neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction data. In this study, the enthalpies of formation of selected stannate pyrochlores, Ln=La, Nd, S…
Highly dispersed and debundled carbon nanotubes were prepared in an aqueous solution of lysozyme using a combination of ultrasonication and ultracentrifugation. The product is a pH-sensitive dispersion, which remains in a highly dispersed state at pH<8 and pH>11, but in an aggregated state at pH 8-11. Photoluminescenc…
A wet and dry paper! Tungsten oxide films prepared by a facile electrochemical deposition process provide the first example of a dual surface functionality. The reversible switch of wettability between superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity is realized by alternating irradiation with UV light and storage in the d…
Structural, electrical, and thermal transport properties of CoSb 3 partially filled with indium are reported. Polycrystalline samples of In x Co 4 Sb 12 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) were prepared by solid-state reaction under a gas mixture of 5% H 2 and 95% Ar. The solubility limit of the indium filling voids in CoSb 3 was found to…
