Thin CdSe layers (“quantum shells”) were epitaxially grown onto CdS nanocrystal templates. Their optical properties are dominated by the shell thickness despite the different bandgap and size of the templates. The emission of the CdSe quantum shells, which can be tuned by varying the shell thickness, ranges from 520 t…
The structure of the phases obtained upon dehydration and decomposition of Friedel's salt [Ca 2 Al(OH) 6 ]Cl·2H 2 O, also known as hydrocalumite, was investigated by several experimental techniques, in particular, high-temperature in situ XRD measurements, which allowed the detection of a metastable intermediate phase…
Si deposition on H terminated Si(100)-2x1 and 3x1 surfaces at temperatures 300-530 K is studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. Hydrogen apparently hinders Si adatom diffusion and enhances surface roughening. The post-growth annealing effect is analyzed. Hydrogen is shown to remain on the growth front up to at least…
We discuss the anomalous Hall effect in a two-dimensional electron gas subject to a spatially varying magnetization. This topological Hall effect (THE) does not require any spin-orbit coupling, and arises solely from Berry phase acquired by an electron moving in a smoothly varying magnetization. We propose an experime…
We develop a new concept for active plasmonics exploiting nanoscale structural transformations which is supported by rigorous numerical analysis. We show that surface plasmon-polariton signals in a metal-on-dielectric waveguide containing a gallium section a few microns long can be effectively controlled by switching…
The appearance of "magic" heights of Pb islands grown on Cu(111) is studied by self-consistent electronic structure calculations. The Cu(111) substrate is modeled with a one-dimensional pseudopotential reproducing the essential features, i.e. the band gap and the work function, of the Cu band structure in the [111] di…
We study the interactions of the vortex lattice with a periodic square array of holes in a superconducting Nb film using magnetic and resistive measurements. Three different temperature regions have been observed. They are governed by interplay between vortex-vortex interactions and pinning by holes. At low temperatur…
Ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid extracted water-soluble matrix proteins in molluscan shells secreted from the mantle epithelia are believed to control crystal nucleation, morphology, orientation, and phase of the deposited mineral. Previously, atomic force microscopy demonstrated that abalone nacre proteins bind to g…
It is shown, that the problem rising Tc diborides is a problem of nonstoichiometry in a plane of boron in diborides of heavy metals being compounds of variable composition.
We analyze the applicability of our analytical theory of combination harmonics in canonical low-dimensional multi-band Fermi liquids, which was recently criticized by Champel (Phys. Rev. B 65, 153403 (2002)). It is shown that his claim that our analytical theory does not apply at low temperatures and in clean samples,…
In situ synthesis of noble metal (Ag, Au, Pt, Pd) nanoparticles was carried out under ambient conditions in porous cellulose fibers as nanoreactors. Particles of less than 10 nm were readily prepared using the described approach, and monodisperse nanoparticles were obtained under an optimized concentration of the meta…
The present study demonstrates the creation of a stable, superhydrophobic surface using the nanoscale roughness inherent in a vertically aligned carbon nanotube forest together with a thin, conformal hydrophobic poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) coating on the surface of the nanotubes. Superhydrophobicity is achieved d…
On the basis of crystal chemical analysis and modeling KDP structure, the mechanism of incorporation of bivalent ions (Ni2+, Co2+, Fe2+, Mn2+) of radii 0.75 Å < r < 1.1 Å and trivalent ions (Al3+, Fe3+, Mn3+, Y3+, La3+) in KDP crystals is analyzed. For the considered bivalent (Me2+) and trivalent (Me3+) impurity ions,…
Abstract Poly(ether ester) elastomers (PEEs) were synthesized in which dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) was the primary diester compound in the hard segment (H/S) and dimethyl 2,6‐naphthalene dicarboxylate (NDC), which has a more rigid aromatic chemical structure than DMT, was the secondary diester in the H/S. The block P…
Abstract T 2 proton NMR relaxation times were used to follow the changes in the macromolecular chain mobility of a chemically (by dicumyl peroxide) cross‐linked polybutadiene matrix. The same phenomenon was also studied by an investigation of the ability of the polymer to crystallize using DSC measurements. The solubi…
Abstract Jute textile was recycled into composites using different percents of phenol formaldehyde (PF) resin. The effect of the resin percent, from 12 to 30%, on the flexural strength, tensile strength, water absorption, and thickness swelling of the produced composites was studied. To improve the dimensional stabili…
PFG NMR results are reported on H 2 O, PEG200, PEG1500, PEG8000, and PEG20000 in wet cotton fibers and H 2 O in wet cotton linters. The data are analyzed in terms of a two-site exchange model (water/cotton) and show that the probe molecules in fibers are trapped in cages. The cage size decreases from 10 to 2 μm as the…
Abstract Cocoa pod powdered (CP) and Carbonized Cocoa pod powdered (CCP) sieved through 150 μm mesh were characterized in terms of loss on ignition, surface area, moisture content, and oil absorption and used as filler in compounding natural rubber and vulcanized using efficient vulcanization system. The processing an…
Abstract An organophosphorus epoxy resin with diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA), which has improved fire performance, was synthesized from the reaction of 9,10‐dihydro‐9‐oxa‐10‐phosphaphenanthrene‐10‐oxide and DGEBA. The epoxy resin was then cured with an isomeric mixture of 3,5‐diethyltoluene‐2,4‐diamine and 3,…
Abstract Nylon 6 (PA6) is a widely used engineering plastic. However, its poor toughness limits its applications. Therefore, toughening PA6 has been a point of interest in the field of PA6 modification. Generally, toughening a plastic with an elastomer reduces the stiffness and heat distortion temperature of the matri…
