Collective plasma excitations of optically dressed Dirac electrons in single and double graphene layers are calculated in the RPA. The presence of circularly polarized light gives rise to an energy gap Eg between the conduction and valence energy bands. Its value may be adjusted by varying the frequency and intensity…
During the last decades, noble-metal nanoparticles have attracted a great deal of interest by their unique optical, electronic, magnetic, and catalytic properties and intense research efforts are still devoted to develop new synthetic and functionalizing strategies [ 1 – 5 ]. This extremely active research field was s…
Mix and more than match: Relative to the catalytic activity of pure Rh nanoparticles in a dendrimer cage, Rh/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles in dendrimers have improved catalytic activity towards the hydrogenation of olefins, and unlike Wilkinson catalyst could catalyze nitroarene hydrogenation (see scheme, G4=4th generat…
We report on the unusual nanoscale kinetics of the layer-by-layer deposition of complex oxide heterostructures composed of a unit-cell thick correlated metal LaNiO3 and dielectric LaAlO3. The ultrathin multilayers demonstrate extremely good crystallinity and surface morphology maintained over the large number of layer…
Second harmonic generation in graphene has been theoretically studied. Phenomenological analysis based on symmetry arguments is carried out. It is demonstrated that second harmonic generation in ideal graphene samples is possible only if the radiation wave vector or its magnetic field is taken into account. Microscopi…
Poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PEG-b-PLA) micelles have a proven capacity for drug solubilization and have entered phase III clinical trials as a substitute for Cremophor EL in the delivery of paclitaxel in cancer therapy. PEG-b-PLA is less toxic than Cremophor EL, enabling a doubling of paclitaxel…
EGF-modified Au NP-Pc 4 conjugates showed 10-fold improved selectivity to the brain tumor compared to untargeted conjugates. The hydrophobic photodynamic therapy drug Pc 4 can be delivered efficiently into glioma brain tumors by EGF peptide-targeted Au NPs. Compared to the untargeted conjugates, EGF-Au NP-Pc 4 conjuga…
We examine the electronic structure of the family of ternary zinc spinel oxides ZnX 2 O 4 (X=Al, Ga and In). The band gap of ZnAl 2 O 4 calculated using density functional theory (DFT) is 4.25 eV and is overestimated compared with the experimental value of 3.8–3.9 eV. The DFT band gap of ZnGa 2 O 4 is 2.82 eV and is u…
A facile approach for enabling or inhibiting the adsorption of protein and adhesion of bacterial cells on a potential-induced reversibly wettable polythiophene film is described. The superhydrophobic polymeric surface was first prepared by a two-step process that combines the layering of polystyrene (PS) latex particl…
The temperature dependence of the specific magnetic moment of anion-deficient manganite La0.70Sr0.30MnO2.85 is measured in external magnetic fields of 0–140 kOe, with the prehistory taken into account. The inhomogeneous magnetic state is a cluster spin glass and is the result of a redistribution of oxygen vacancies. I…
The atomic structure and composition of noninterfacial ITO and ITO-Si interfaces were studied with transmission electron microscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The films were deposited by dc magnetron sputtering on monocrystalline p-type (100) Si wafers. Both as deposited and heat treated films consist…
We calculated row resolved density of states, charge distribution and work function of graphene’s zigzag and armchair edge (either clean or terminated alternatively with H, O, or OH group). The zigzag edge saturated via OH group has the lowest work function of 3.76 eV, while the zigzag edge terminated via O has the hi…
Quantum optimal control theory (QOCT) aims at finding an external field that drives a quantum system in such a way that optimally achieves some predefined target. In practice this normally means optimizing the value of some observable, a so called merit function. In consequence, a key part of the theory is a set of eq…
Epoxy polymer with micro, nano and micro + nano silica fillers have been evaluated for their electrical performance in high voltage insulation applications. The dielectric strength of these samples was measured in accordance with the ASTM D-149 standard. Dielectric spectroscopy was used to understand the role of space…
The cost-effective self-assembly of 80 nm Au nanoparticles (NPs) into large-domain, hexagonally close-packed arrays for high-sensitivity and high-fidelity surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is demonstrated. These arrays exhibit specific optical resonances due to strong interparticle coupling, which are well re…
The dynamic strength of concrete materials is usually obtained by conducting laboratory tests such as drop-weight test or split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test. It is widely accepted that the uniaxial compressive strength of concrete and concrete-like material increases with strain rate. Many empirical relations of…
In this letter, we demonstrate the first BN/graphene/BN field-effect transistor for RF applications. This device structure can preserve the high mobility and the high carrier velocity of graphene, even when it is sandwiched between a substrate and a gate dielectric, and is hence very promising to enable the next gener…
The results of an investigation into electrical tree growth in XLPE cable insulation using an embedded needle electrode are reported for a range of voltages from 9 kV rms to 27 kV rms. The partial discharge (PD) activity and tree structures were measured simultaneously throughout the tree growth and the trees were rec…
Effective quantum-state and entanglement transfer can be obtained by inducing a coherent dynamics in quantum wires with homogeneous intrawire interactions. This goal is accomplished by optimally tuning the coupling between the wire endpoints and the two qubits there attached. A general procedure to determine such valu…
