We employed a microwave synthesis process of cobalt phthalocyanine molecules templated by acid-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes to create three-dimensional sponge-like graphene nanoarchitectures suited for ionic liquid-based electrochemical capacitor electrodes that operate at very high scan rates. The sequ…
We study the mechanism of orbital or spin fluctuations due to multiorbital Coulomb interaction in iron-based superconductors, going beyond the random-phase approximation. For this purpose, we develop a self-consistent vertex correction (VC) method, and find that multiple orbital fluctuations in addition to spin fluctu…
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) surface coatings are widely used to render stealth properties to nanoparticles in biological applications. There is abundant literature on the benefits of PEG coatings and their ability to reduce protein adsorption, to diminish nonspecific interactions with cells, and to improve pharmacokinet…
We experimentally demonstrate the use of a single electronic spin to measure the quantum dynamics of distant individual nuclear spins from within a surrounding spin bath. Our technique exploits coherent control of the electron spin, allowing us to isolate and monitor nuclear spins weakly coupled to the electron spin.…
We experimentally isolate, characterize, and coherently control up to six individual nuclear spins that are weakly coupled to an electron spin in diamond. Our method employs multipulse sequences on the electron spin that resonantly amplify the interaction with a selected nuclear spin and at the same time dynamically s…
We discuss mechanical forces that act upon a water droplet and a piece of ice on a rough solid surface and the difference between dewetting and ice fracture. The force needed to detach a water droplet depends on contact angle (CA) hysteresis and can be reduced significantly in the case of a superhydrophobic surface. T…
Aromatic heterocyclic microporous polymers with high surface areas are obtained by directly crosslinking of the heterocyclic monomers under mild conditions. Owing to the narrow pore system and the heteroatom-rich pore surface, these networks exhibit high CO(2) adsorption capacity and selectivity. At 273 K, the CO(2)/N…
Unwanted exposures to high-energy or ionizing radiation can be hazardous to health. Prolonged or accumulated radiation dosage from either particle-emissions such as alpha/beta, proton, electron, neutron emissions, or high-energy electromagnetic waves such as X-rays/γ rays, may result in carcinogenesis, cell mutations,…
This review provides insight into the various ways to functionalize graphene and graphene derivatives, thereby expanding the number of potential applications for graphenebased materials. The functionalization modes can be classified according to the method and materials used and as such have been categorized as covale…
We present an analytical study of the heat conduction in a quantum harmonic chain of oscillators with alternate particle masses. We find that a thermal-insulating effect already observed in some classical models consisting of chains with alternate masses also holds in the quantum version of the one-dimensional harmoni…
Commonly, metamaterials are electrically engineered systems with optimized spatial arrangement of subwavelength sized metal and dielectric components. We explore alternative methods based on use of magnetic inclusions, such as magnetic nanoparticles, which can allow permeability of a composite to be tuned from negativ…
With a novel asymmetric Schiff-base zinc complex ZnL (H2 L = N-(3-methoxysalicylidene)-N'-(5-bromo-3-methoxysalicylidene)phenylene-1,2-diamine), obtained from phenylene-1,2-diamine, 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde and 5-bromo-3-methoxysalicylaldehyde, as the precursor, a series of heterobinuclear Zn-Ln complexes [ZnLnL(NO3 )…
There are more than 2.5 million miles of oil and gas pipelines in the United States, totaling over 330 million girth welds below ground. During construction, girth welds are susceptible to the formation of various defects, one of which is hydrogen-assisted cracks. The synergistic impact of tensile stress, a susceptibl…
AIM: Remote heating of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) by low frequency electromagnetic field has been recently proposed as a potential thermal treatment for deep-seated tumors - almost all the studies were conducted on a commercial device at 13.56 MHz. This work investigates the electromagnetic heating of GNP dispersions a…
Azobenzene (di-phenyl-diazene) is well-known as a photoisomerisable molecule and has been widely studied as a molecular photoswitcher. Molecular rods, where di-phenyl arms are bound to the diazene moiety, have been also synthesized. In this article we explore by first principle density functional theory calculations t…
Abstract Three new 2D/3D supramolecular architectures derived from Cu‐organic subunits and Keggin anions, [Cu II 2 (biz) 8 (HPMo VI 10 Mo V 2 O 40 )(H 2 O) 2 ] · 2H 2 O ( 1 ), [Cu I 4 (biz) 8 (SiW 12 O 40 )] · 2H 2 O ( 2 ) and [Cu I 2 (dmbiz) 4 (Hdmbiz) 2 (SiW 12 O 40 )] ( 3 ) (biz = benzimidazole, dmbiz = 5, 6‐dimeth…
Surface modification of sisal fibers (Agave sisalana) using microwave-radiation-induced grafting and cellulase has been carried out in this paper. The modified fibers were characterized by various techniques to determine their morphology, crystallinity, and thermal stability. It has also been found that microwave-radi…
Due to significant cost and productivity advantages, low heat inputs, high welding speeds, severe loading conditions and the use of cellulosic electrodes in the construction of oil and gas pipelines are unavoidable in Australia. Another significant cost reduction directly related to the tonnage of steel pipe dictates…
Conceptual doubly lossy thin layers with high electric and magnetic conductances (HEMCs) are shown to exhibit perfect absorbing properties for a normally incident plane wave. In contrast to conventional absorbers and perfectly matched layers (PMLs), this absorber can be made infinitely thin in the limit of perfect ele…
We introduce a facile method to generate silicon nanostructures with superior anti-reflectance (AR) properties. These nanostructures possess the ideal tapered structure and aperiodic distribution required for low reflectance over a broad range of wavelengths. Consideration of effective medium theories might explain th…
