Bound- and excited-state electronic nonlinearities in CdS quantum dots have been investigated by Degenerate Four-Wave Mixing (DFWM) and Z-scan techniques in the femtosecond time regime. This QD sample shows Kerr-type nonlinearity for incident beam intensity below 0.18 TW/cm$^2$. However, further increment in intensity…
Pressure induced structural modifications in vitreous GexSe100-x (where 10 ≤ x ≤ 25) are investigated using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) along with supplementary X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. Universal changes in distances and angle distributions are ob…
Dielectric-dependent hybrid (DDH) functionals were recently shown to yield accurate energy gaps and dielectric constants for a wide variety of solids, at a computational cost considerably less than that of GW calculations. The fraction of exact exchange included in the definition of DDH functionals depends (self-consi…
An indentation experiment involves five variables: indenter shape, material behavior of the substrate, contact size, applied load and indentation depth. Only three variable are known afterwards, namely, indenter shape, plus load and depth as function of time. As the contact size is not measured and the determination o…
Magnetic nanoparticles (MnPs) are relevant to a wide range of applications including high density information storage and magnetic resonance imaging to name but a few. Among the materials available to prepare MnPs, FePt is attracting growing attention. However, to harvest the strongest magnetic properties of FePt MnPs…
Accurate measurement of efficiency for thermoelectric generator (TEG) is of great importance for materials research and development. Approximately all the parameters of a material are temperature dependent, so we can't directly apply the $η_\text{max}$ formula for efficiency calculation in the large temperature range.…
We employ a fluorescence bilayer method to directly measure the glass transition temperature ( T g ) of the irreversibly adsorbed layer of polystyrene (PS) buried in bulk films as a function of adsorption time, t ads . This bilayer geometry allows for the examination of interfacial effects on T g of the adsorbed nanol…
In today's nanoworld, there is a strong need to manipulate and process materials on an atom-by-atom scale with new tools such as reactive plasma, which in some states enables high selectivity of interaction between plasma species and materials. These interactions first involve preferential interactions with precise bo…
Abstract We present the basic idea, implementation, measured performance, and performance model of FDPS (Framework for Developing Particle Simulators). FDPS is an application-development framework which helps researchers to develop simulation programs using particle methods for large-scale distributed-memory parallel…
Abstract For the first time, a facile, ultrafast, ammonia‐driven microwave‐assisted synthesis of high‐quality nitrogen‐doped graphene quantum dots (NGQDs) at room temperature and atmospheric pressure is presented. This one‐step method is very cheap, environment friendly, and suitable for large‐scale production. The as…
Abstract Light‐matter interaction in plasmonic nanostructures is often treated within the realm of classical optics. However, recent experimental findings show the need to go beyond the classical models to explain and predict the plasmonic response at the nanoscale. A prototypical system is a nanoparticle dimer, exten…
There has been a huge increase of interests in two-dimensional van der Waals materials over the past ten years or so with the conspicuous absence of one particular class of materials: magnetic van der Waals systems. In this Viewpoint, we point it out and illustrate how we might be able to benefit from exploring these…
With the growing numbers of nanomaterials (NMs), there is a great demand for rapid and reliable ways of testing NM safety-preferably using in vitro approaches, to avoid the ethical dilemmas associated with animal research. Data are needed for developing intelligent testing strategies for risk assessment of NMs, based…
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Self-consistent field theory (SCFT) is a powerful tool for the design and interpretation of experiments on block polymer materials. In this Perspective, we lower the barrier to entry to the use of SCFT by experimental groups by two means. First, we present a pedagogic…
Sustainable synthesis schemes for the production of porous carbons with appropriate textural properties for use as supercapacitor electrodes are in high demand. In this work a greener option to the widely used but corrosive KOH is proposed for the production of highly porous carbons. Hydrochar products are used as car…
An external skeleton is an essential part of the body plan of many animals and is thought to be one of the key factors that enabled the great expansion in animal diversity and disparity during the Cambrian explosion. Molluscs are considered ideal to study the evolution of biomineralization because of their diversity o…
A series of biodegradable Mg-Cu alloys is designed to induce osteogenesis, stimulate angiogenesis, and provide long-lasting antibacterial performance at the same time. The Mg-Cu alloys with precipitated Mg2Cu intermetallic phases exhibit accelerated degradation in the physiological environment due to galvanic corrosio…
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in signal transduction and metabolism. Over-produced ROS in cells or tissues, however, often leads to oxidation stress that has implications in a series of diseases including cancer, aging, atherosclerosis and inflammation. Driven by the need for on-demand drug deli…
Efficient nuclear waste treatment and environmental management are important hurdles that need to be overcome if nuclear energy is to become more widely used. Herein, we demonstrate the first case of using two-dimensional (2D) multilayered V2CTx nanosheets prepared by HF etching of V2AlC to remove actinides from aqueo…
Plasmonic metal nanoparticles can efficiently convert the energy of visible photons into the energy of hot charge carriers within the nanoparticles. These energetic charge carriers can transfer to molecules or semiconductors, chemically attached to the nanoparticles, where they can induce photochemical transformations…
