The use of laser induced surface plasmons on metal nanoparticles has proven to be an excellent tool for the delivery of molecules like siRNA and DNA into cells. However, a detailed understanding of the basic mechanisms of molecular uptake and the influence of parameters like biological environment is missing. In this…
Single molecule magnets (SMM) may be considered for the construction of future integrated nanodevices, provided however that some degree of ordering is imparted to these molecules (surfaces nanostructuration). Combining such nanoobjects with liquid-crystalline orderings to control their assembly and to potentially add…
Copolymers of styrene and various hydrophilic monomers were synthesized by anionic and free-radical polymerizations, and by polymer–analogue reactions. The copolymers were subsequently used in an emulsion–solvent evaporation process to yield core–shell nanoparticles. We describe here the influence of the copolymer str…
Glycerol (G, a triol) and sebacic acid (S, an α,ω-dicarboxylic acid) were condensed in the bulk to obtain poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS) cross-linked elastomers which were characterized in terms of their swelling, thermal, and mechanical properties. The soluble precursors to the elastomers were characterized in terms o…
We developed the thin film microwave magnetic material, M-type barium hexagonal ferrite (BaM) doped with Al, for signal processing devices operating above 40 GHz with little to no applied magnetic field. Al was chosen as the dopant material because it significantly increases the already strong anisotropy field of BaM.…
Frictional, adhesive, and elastic characteristics of graphene edges are determined through lateral force microscopy. Measurements reveal a significant local frictional increase at exposed graphene edges, whereas a single overlapping layer of graphene removes this local frictional increase. Comparison of lateral force…
Nanomaterials are used in a wide spectrum of applications, including nanowires that are objects with at least one of its dimensions in the range of 1 to 100 nm. Recently, a new type of silver vanadate nanowire decorated with silver nanoparticles (SVSN-LQES1) with promising antimicrobial activity against different path…
Exploring the nature of multiferroic ceramic composite with dual high performances is much important to take full advantage of its novel dielectric properties. In this paper, Ni0.5Zn0.5291Fe2O4/BaTiO3 ceramic composite is proposed and successfully prepared from BTO and NZFO powders which are obtained by sol-gel proces…
The synergistic effects of 4A zeolite (4A) on the thermal degradation, flame retardancy and char formation of a novel halogen‐free intumescent flame retardant polypropylene composites (PP/IFR) were investigated by the means of limiting oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning test (UL‐94), digital photos, scanning electro…
Centro-symmetric dinuclear complexes of formula [Ln(tta)(3)(L)](2)·xCH(2)Cl(2), (tta(-) = 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetonate anion, x = 0.5 for Ln = Eu (1a), Tb (3), and Dy (4) and x = 0 for Ln = Eu (1b) and Nd (2)) have been synthesized using the tetrathiafulvalene-3-pyridine-N-oxide as a bridging ligand (L). X-ray structur…
We investigated the current-perpendicular-to-plane giant magnetoresistance (CPP-GMR) of pseudo spin valves (PSVs) using ferromagnetic (FM) Heusler alloy Co2Fe(Ga1−xGex) (x = 0, 0.5, and 1) layers and an Ag spacer layer. The FM layer with x = 0.5 gave rise to the highest MR output, ΔRA = 8.7 mΩ·μm2, at room temperature…
The X-ray Powder Diffraction (XPD) beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source II is a multi-purpose high-energy X-ray diffraction beamline with high throughput and high resolution. The beamline uses a sagittally bent double-Laue crystal monochromator to provide X-rays over a large energy range (30-70 keV). In t…
There is interest in identifying novel materials for use in radioactive waste applications and studying their behavior under high pressure conditions. The mineral zirconolite (CaZrTi(2)O(7)) exists naturally in trace amounts in diamond-bearing deep-seated metamorphic/igneous environments, and it is also identified as…
Chitosan was obtained from the alkaline N-deacetylation of ï¡-chitin, derived from shrimp shells (SS) collected from the Moroccan coast. Effects of temperature, NaOH concentration and reaction time on the kinetics of deacetylation were studied. The degree of deacetylation (DD = 75%) was obtained at T = 120 °C and CN…
Metamaterials are artificial media which can provide optical properties not available from natural materials. These properties often result from the resonant excitation of plasmonic modes in the metallic building blocks ("metaatoms") of the metamaterial. Electromagnetic interactions between the metaatoms significantly…
Reversible superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic surfaces based on porous substrates covered with CuO nanowires are developed in this study. A facile thermal oxidation method is used to synthesize non-flaking bicrystalline CuO nanowires on porous copper substrates in static air. The effects of thermal oxidation temper…
We set the theoretical basis for scattering cancellation and cloaking of quantum particle waves. We discuss the possibility of cloaking a spherical object from an impinging matter wave by using a homogeneous monolayer with properly tailored effective mass and potential. The method, based on cancellation of scattered $…
With respect to the requirements of spin torque transfer (STT) materials, one the most promising materials families are the tunable tetragonal Heusler compounds based on Mn2YZ(Y=Co,Fe,Ni,Rh,...;Z=Al, Ga, Sn). They form the inverse cubic Heusler structure with three distinct magnetic sublattices, which allows a fine tu…
Backbone degradable, linear, multiblock N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymer-doxorubicin (DOX) conjugates are synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization followed by chain extension via thiol-ene click reaction. The examination of molecular-weight-dependent antit…
We study the infrared optical absorption properties of ABA - and ABC -stacked graphene multilayers using the effective mass approximation. We calculate the optical absorption spectrum at various carrier densities, and find the characteristic features that identify the stacking types and the number of layers. We fully…
