Branched metal nanoparticles often display unique physicochemical properties on account of their structures; however, most examples are asymmetric, with branches randomly distributed from the cores of the nanoparticles. This asymmetry can give rise to variable properties between samples. Here, we report the synthesis…
Here we report the construction and characterization of a recoverable, thermoresponsive polymer-endoglucanase bioconjugate that matches the activity of unmodified enzymes on insoluble cellulose substrates. Two copolymers exhibiting a thermoresponsive lower critical solution temperature (LCST) were created through the…
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are known for their bactericidal abilities. The antibacterial potency is dependent on the particle size and dispersion status. In this study, we synthesized AgNP/NSP nanohybrids in two different weight ratios (1/99 and 8/92) using the fully exfoliated clay, i.e., nanosilicate platelets (NS…

A low molecular mass cutinase (designated TtcutA) from Thielavia terrestris was purified and biochemically characterized. The thermophilic fungus T. terrestris CAU709 secreted a highly active cutinase (90.4 U ml(-1)) in fermentation broth containing wheat bran as the carbon source. The cutinase was purified 19-fold wi…
Utilizing molecules for tailoring the exchange coupling strength between ferromagnetic electrodes can produce novel metamaterials and molecular spintronics devices (MSD). A practical way to produce such MSD is to connect the molecular channels to the electrodes of a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). This paper discusses…
Topological invariants are conventionally known to be responsible for protection of extended states against disorder. A prominent example is the presence of topologically protected extended-states in two-dimensional (2D) quantum Hall systems as well as on the surface of three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators. D…
Molecular dynamics (MD) is an important research tool extensively applied in materials science. Running MD on a graphics processing unit (GPU) is an attractive new approach for accelerating MD simulations. Currently, GPU implementations of MD usually run in a one-host-process-one-GPU (OHPOG) scheme. This scheme may po…
The major chemical feature of an element is the number of electrons available for forming chemical bonds. A doctrine rooted in the atomic shell model states that the atoms will maintain a complete inner shell while interacting with other atoms. Therefore, group IA elements, for example, are invariably stable in the +1…
The primary factors controlling defect stability in phase-field crystal (PFC) models are examined, with illustrative examples involving several existing variations of the model. Guidelines are presented for constructing models with stable defect structures that maintain high numerical efficiency. The general framework…
We use dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) to resolve the role of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in the shape-selective synthesis of Ag nanostructures by probing the interaction of its 2-pyrrolidone (2P) ring with Ag(100) and Ag(111). We employ two different semiempirical methods for including van der Waa…
Abstract Quasi type‐II PbSe/PbS quantum dots (QDs) are employed in a solid state high efficiency QD/TiO 2 heterojunction solar cell. The QDs are deposited using layer‐by‐layer deposition on a half‐micrometer‐thick anatase TiO 2 nanosheet film with (001) exposed facets. Theoretical calculations show that the carriers i…
Despite extensive efforts, a definitive picture of the glass transition of ultra-thin polymer films has yet to emerge. The effect of film thickness h on the glass transition temperature T(g) has been widely examined, but this characterization does not account for the fragility of glass-formation, which quantifies how…
ZnO thin films were prepared on glass and Si(1 0 0) substrates by RF sputtering. The thickness, crystallinity, and the optical properties of the films were observed to vary with the RF power used. All the films exhibited preferred c-axis oriented (0 0 2) phase of wurtzite structure. The values of d-spacing for ZnO fil…
The temperature dependence of the complex optical properties of the three-dimensional topological insulator Bi2Te2Se is reported for light polarized in the a-b planes at ambient pressure, as well as the effects of pressure at room temperature. This material displays a semiconducting character with a bulk optical gap o…
We derive an analytical expression that describes the interaction energy between two graphene layers identically oriented as a function of the relative lateral and vertical positions, in excellent agreement with first principles calculations. Thanks to its formal simplicity, the proposed model allows for an immediate…
The behavior of the electric-polarization vortices generated by the ferroelectricity transition in solid-state materials of hexagonal manganites provides the first unambiguous experimental demonstration of the Kibble-Zurek mechanism that unifies our understanding of topological-defect generation in many subfields of p…
The wide bandgap and highly transparent inorganic compound copper(I) thiocyanate (CuSCN) is used for the first time to fabricate p-type thin-film transistors processed from solution at room temperature. By combining CuSCN with the high-k relaxor ferroelectric polymeric dielectric P(VDF-TrFE-CFE), we demonstrate low-vo…
Crystallinity and porosity are crucial for crystalline porous covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Here we report synthetic control over the crystallinity and porosity of COFs by managing interlayer interactions based on self-complementary π-electronic forces. Fluoro-substituted and nonsubstituted aromatic units at dif…
Nanostructured porous carbon materials have diverse applications including sorbents, catalyst supports for fuel cells, electrode materials for capacitors, and hydrogen storage systems. When these materials have hierarchical porosity, interconnected pores of different dimensions, their potential application is increase…
