The calculation results show that the bonding energy and electronic states of silicon quantum dots (Si QDs) are different on various curved surfaces (CS), for example, a Si-O-Si bridge bond on curved surface provides the localized levels in band gap and its bonding energy is shallower than that on facet. Curved surfac…

Blends of polypropylene (PP) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) with and without ethylene-propylene-diene (EPDM) terpolymer as a compatibilizer were studied. Mechanical properties were chosen to estimate the compatibilization efficiency of EPDM. The interactions between phases were valued through glass transition shi…

Abstract In this study, we investigated the potential antibacterial properties of nanocrystalline diamond. In particular, we tested the effect of diamond nanoparticles (DNPs) on growth of the model gram‐negative bacterium Escherichia coli on solid, nutrient‐rich growth medium. We found that the presence of DNPs on aga…

The coupling and reconstruction of electronic degrees of freedom (such as charge, spin and orbital) at a heterointerface can lead to unexpected and exotic states of matter. In this study, using model systems consisting of multiferroic BiFeO(3) and ferromagnetic La(0.7)Sr(0.3)MnO(3), we review the current understanding…

By dispersing aqueous precipitant in liquid paraffin to prepare a W/O emulsion then adding chitosan (CS) solution, CS microcapsules have been successfully prepared. It is a facile way to prepare polymer microcapsules by using aqueous precipitant or nonsolvent as template, which avoids the removal of template and would…

We report the occurrence of superconductivity, with maximum T${}_{c}=40$ K, in superlattices (SLs) based on two insulating oxides, namely CaCuO${}_{2}$ and SrTiO${}_{3}$. In these (CaCuO${}_{2}$)${}_{n}$/(SrTiO${}_{3}$)${}_{m}$ SLs, the CuO${}_{2}$ planes belong only to CaCuO${}_{2}$ block, which is an antiferromagnet…
