We perform ab initio calculations that indicate that the relative stability of antiphase boundaries (APBs) with armchair and zigzag chiralities in monolayer boron nitride (BN) is strongly dependent on the chemical potentials of boron (B) and nitrogen (N) in the synthesis process. For a realistic interval of chemical p…
Compounds of MnFeP1−xAsx have received attention recently for their use in active magnetic regenerators (AMR) because of their relatively high isothermal entropy change and adiabatic temperature change with magnetization. However, the materials also generally exhibit a significant magnetic and thermal hysteresis, and…
SUMMARY This work outlines a theoretical and computational framework of gradient plasticity based on a rigorous exploitation of mixed variational principles . In contrast to classical local approaches to plasticity based on locally evolving internal variables, order parameter fields are taken into account governed by…
There is an ongoing intensive debate on the mechanism of gold nanoparticles formation regarding the intermediate precursors prior to the addition of reducing agent. A new detailed view of the widely used Brust–Schiffrin two-phase method to prepare gold nanoparticles is presented here. Precursor species of these reacti…
The amide bond is a versatile functional group and its directional hydrogen-bonding capabilities are widely applied in, for example, supramolecular chemistry. The potential of the thioamide bond, in contrast, is virtually unexplored as a structuring moiety in hydrogen-bonding-based self-assembling systems. We report h…
It is well known that the light emission at ∼1.54 μm falls within the minimum loss window of silica optic fibers for optical communication and is of significance for the silicon-based optoelectronic integration. Herein, we report on erbium (Er)-related electroluminescence (EL) at ∼1.54 μm from Er-doped ZnO (ZnO:Er)/p+…
CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots (CSQDs) and PbS quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized using a colloidal method and incorporated into Ge23Sb7S70 glass films via a solution-derived approach to film formation. Photoluminescence (PL) from the QDs inside the glass matrix was observed in the visible (CdSe/ZnS) and near-IR (P…
A full set of elastic and electrical coefficients of (K,Na)NbO3-based lead-free piezoceramics with a nominal composition of Li0.03(K0.48Na0.52)0.97(Nb0.8Ta0.2)O3 (abbreviated as KNNLT) was evaluated by the standard resonance method, and compared to those of K4CuNb8O23 doped (K0.45Na0.55)NbO3 (KNN-KCN) as well as typic…
Polybenzoxazole (PBO) reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is of great interest in the field of polymer composites because PBO and CNTs possess the highest-level mechanical properties among polymers and filler materials, respectively. However, the insolubility of PBO and the CNTs makes it difficult to develop a CNT…
To suppress the electron-hole recombination in the multishell sensitizer for quantum-dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSCs), the PbxCd1−xS interlayer is incorporated between the PbS core and CdS shell. The PbS/PbxCd1−xS/CdS structure enhances the cell efficiency by ∼60% compared to PbS/CdS QDSCs, and consequently shows a…
The effect of electron-phonon coupling on thermal conductance across metal-dielectric interfaces remains inconclusive. The leading model employs the phonon thermal conductivity of the metal that is difficult to estimate. We remove this difficulty by obtaining the conductance directly from the Bloch-Boltzmann-Peierls f…
This review examines size effects observed in the mechanical strength of biopolymers that are organized in microstructures such as fibrils, layered composites, or particle nanocomposites. We review the most important aspects that connect nanoconfinement of basic material constituents at critical length scales to the m…
A microfluidic-based approach for the fabrication of organic contaminants absorbing core-shell particles is demonstrated. The hydrophobic porous core absorbs oil while the hydrophilic surface enables the particles to be well-dispersed in aqueous solutions. These particles can uptake oil from aqueous solution saturated…
Graphene layers grown by chemical vapor deposition were, respectively, irradiated for 0, 20, 40, and 60 min by an ultraviolet light source in order to experimentally study the change in the work function of graphene. The dependences of the work function and carrier concentration upon ultraviolet irradiation have been…
We consider the transient non-equilibrium electronic distribution that is created in a metal nanoparticle upon plasmon excitation. Following light absorption, the created plasmons decohere within a few femtoseconds, producing uncorrelated electron-hole pairs. The corresponding non-thermal electronic distribution evolv…
The way is open for the physical and chemical characterization and single-crystal growth of the orthorhombic o′-In2O3 polymorph. Orthorhombic In2O3 is synthesized from rhombohedral corundum-type rh-In2O3 under moderately high-pressure and high-temperature conditions (8–9 GPa, 600–1100 °C) followed by recovery to ambie…
Gold nanorods (GNRs) have great potential widespread applications in biomedical imaging, drug delivery and photothermal therapy due to unique surface plasmon resonance (SPR) ranging from visible to near infrared (NIR) region, facile synthesis and easy functionalization. In this review, the recent progress of GNRs in b…
Surface-assisted self-assembly of amyloid-like peptides has received considerable interest in both amyloidosis research and nanotechnology in recent years. Despite extensive studies, some controlling factors, such as salts, are still not well understood, even though it is known that some salts can promote peptide self…
Dendritic silver nanostructures coated with silica nanofilm are synthesized via hydrothermal etching using silver nitrate, hydrofluoric acid, and hydrogen peroxide and controlling the reagent concentration, reaction time, and temperature. The silver dendritic nanostructures are employed as substrates for surface-enhan…
The different biological behavior of cationic Fe and Mn pyridylporphyrins in Escherichia coli and mouse studies prompted us to revisit and compare their chemistry. For that purpose, the series of ortho and meta isomers of Fe(III) meso-tetrakis-N-alkylpyridylporphyrins, alkyl being methyl to n-octyl, were synthesized a…
