We study the velocity dependence of the frictional force of the tip of an atomic force microscope as it is dragged across a surface, taking into account memory effects and thermal fluctuations. Memory effects are described by a coupling of the tip to low frequency excitation modes of the surface in addition to the cou…
Using a first-principle approach beyond density functional theory we calculate the electronic and optical properties of small diameter CdSe nanowires. Our results demonstrate how some approximations commonly used in bulk systems fail at this nanoscale level and how indispensable it is to include crystal local fields a…
The detailed surface analysis such as survey scan, core-level, and valence band spectra of highly luminescent ZnO:Na nanocrystals were studied using the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to establish the performed presence of Na+ ions. The observed increase in band gap from 3.30 (bulk) to 4.16 eV (nano), is attributed…
The phase transition kinetics in three phase systems was investigated using the numerically efficient cell dynamics method. A phasefield model with a simple analytical free energy and single order parameter was used to study the kinetics and the thermodynamics of a three-phase system. This free energy is able to achie…
We report on electronic properties of graphene synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on copper then transferred to SiO2/Si. Wafer-scale (up to 4 in.) graphene films have been synthesized, consisting dominantly of monolayer graphene as indicated by spectroscopic Raman mapping. Low temperature transport measure…
The development of metal-free organic sensitizers is a key issue in dye-sensitized solar cell research. We report successful photovoltaic conversion with a new class of stable tetrathiafulvalene derivatives, showing surprising electrochemical and kinetic properties. With time-resolved spectroscopy we could observe hig…
Deposition of high-kappa dielectrics onto graphene is of significant challenge due to the difficulties of nucleating high quality oxide on pristine graphene without introducing defects into the monolayer of carbon lattice. Previous efforts to deposit high-kappa dielectrics on graphene often resulted in significant deg…
The conversion of neutral nitrogen-vacancy centers to negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy centers is demonstrated for centers created by ion implantation and annealing in high-purity diamond. Conversion occurs with surface exposure to an oxygen atmosphere at 465 °C. The spectral properties of the charge-converted cent…
A simple, cost-effective, two-step method was proposed for preparing single-phase SnO polycrystalline thin films on quartz. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis demonstrated that the annealed films were consisted of polycrystalline alpha-SnO phase without preferred orientation, and chemical composition analysis of the sin…
The thermodynamic properties of magnesium hydride nanoparticles have been investigated by hydrogen decomposition pressure measurements using the Sieverts technique. A mechanochemical method was used to synthesize MgH(2) nanoparticles (down to approximately 7 nm in size) embedded in a LiCl salt matrix. In comparison to…
A versatile method for selectively synthesizing single-crystalline rhombic dodecahedral, cubic, and octahedral palladium nanocrystals, as well as their derivatives with varying degrees of edge- and corner-truncation, was reported for the first time. This is also the first report regarding the synthesis of rhombic dode…
The continuously forming fin bony rays of zebrafish represent a simple bone model system in which mineralization is temporally and spatially resolved. The mineralized collagen fibrils of the fin bones are identical in structure to those found in all known bone materials. We study the continuous mineralization process…
In the present study, the energy dependence of response of some popular thermoluminescent dosemeters (TLDs) have been investigated such as LiF:Mg,Ti, LiF:Mg,Cu,P and CaSO(4):Dy to synchrotron radiation in the energy range of 10-34 keV. The study utilised experimental, Monte Carlo and analytical methods. The Monte Carl…
Attention is called to E. Schrödinger's elegant analytical solution [Annalen der Physik 44 (1914) p.916] of the initial-value problem for the Born–von Kármán model of an infinite one-dimensional chain of uniformly spaced particles of mass M with nearest-neighbour coupling by harmonic springs. This model has recently s…
Abstract This article presents a balanced composite right/left‐handed (CRLH) transmission line using high impedance wire.No vias are required in the proposed implementation. However, processing of double surfaces is needed. The proposed structure provides multiple CRLH bands. The concept was validated in microstrip co…
EAdvanced polymer-based nanocomposite materials have gained in popularity during the last decade for a wide range of engineering applications, with improvement of various types of products and commercialization of products, which exploit their unique behavior.
In this paper, the relationships between the optical spectra and local lattice structure for Mn5+ in a Sr10(VO4)6F2 crystal are established by the crystal- and ligand-field theory. The effect of spin–orbital coupling between the central 3d2 ions and ligand ions has been considered in the full energy matrix. Using the…
Oxidative degradation of the polyurethane elastomeric (PU) components greatly reduces the efficacy of PU-containing cardiovascular devices. Covalently appending the phenol-based antioxidant, 4-substituted 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol (DBP), to PU hard segments effectively reduced oxidative degradation of the PU in vivo and…
ABSTRACT Chitin oligosaccharides (NA-COS) with low molecular weight distribution of 229.21–593.12 Da were produced from crab chitin by acid hydrolysis. They showed reducing power and scavenging effect on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO), hydroxyl and alkyl radicals. It was obser…
Massive cementite layers with a time-dependent thickness were grown on ferrite substrates by nitrocarburising in a dedicated NH3/H2/CO/N2-containing gas atmosphere at 783 K, 823 K and 843 K. Nitrogen diffusion through the cementite layer into the ferrite substrate took place in conjunction with growth of the cementite…
