We develop a Landau theory for bend flexoelectricity in liquid crystals of bent-core molecules. In the nematic phase of the model, the bend flexoelectric coefficient increases as we reduce the temperature toward the nematic to polar phase transition. At this critical point, there is a second-order transition from high…

Growing oxide shells on seed nanoparticles requires the control of several processes: (a) the nucleation and growth of the shell material; (b) the "wetting" of the shell material on the seeds; and (c) the aggregation of the nanoparticles. These processes are influenced by a number of factors, many of which are related…

Abstract Half‐Heusler n‐type thermoelectric materials MNiSn (M = Hf, Zr) have been shown to exhibit peak thermoelectric dimensionless figure‐of‐merit ( ZT ) of ∼1.0 at 600–700 °C with a composition of Hf 0.75 Zr 0.25 NiSn 0.99 Sb 0.01 . This work demonstrates that it is possible to achieve the same ZT by reducing the…

In this study, we design a homogeneous system consisting of Ag nanoprisms and glucose oxidase (GOx) for simple, sensitive, and low-cost colorimetric sensing of glucose in serum. The unmodified Ag nanoprisms and GOx are first mixed with each other. Glucose is then added in the homogeneous mixture. Finally, the nanoplat…

A suitable technology for the preparation of graphene based on versatile wet chemistry is presented for the first time. The protocol allows the wet chemical synthesis of graphene from a new form of graphene oxide that consists of an intact hexagonal σ-framework of C-atoms. Thus, it can be easily reduced to graphene th…

We report high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction spectrum and high-temperature magnetic data for multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) embedded with Fe and Fe3O4 nanoparticles. We unambiguously show that the saturation moments of the embedded Fe and Fe3O4 nanoparticles are enhanced by a factor of about 3.0 compared…

An osmotin (CpOsm) from the latex of Calotropis procera has been crystallized in both tetragonal and trigonal forms suitable for structure determination. Crystallographic studies of CpOsm are of great interest because limited information is available concerning the structure of latex proteins and CpOsm has previously…

Abstract A trisilicate with a new structure type, CoEu 2 Si 3 O 10 , was obtained from molybdate–carbonate mixtures in Pt crucibles by using a high‐temperature flux‐growth method. The structural characterization of CoEu 2 Si 3 O 10 was done by evaluation of single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction data collected at three diff…

One of the most important properties of the recently discovered “rods-in-belt” supramolecular complexes containing Au–Cu or Au–Ag cluster cores is the possibility of tuning their electronic and photophysical properties through modification of the ligand environment. This opens great perspectives for their applications…
